GENERAL WARNINGS ENGLISH
WARNING!
Important safety instructions. Carefully read and comply with
the Warnings booklet and Instruction booklet that come with the product as
incorrect installation can cause injury to people and animals and damage to
property. They contain important information regarding safety, installation,
use and maintenance.
1) GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can
cause damage to persons, animals or things.
• Scrap packing materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene etc) according
to the provisions set out by current standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene
bags out of children’s reach.
• Keep the instructions together with the technical brochure for future
reference.
• This product was exclusively designed and manufactured for the use
specified in the present documentation. Any other use not specified in
this documentation could damage the product and be dangerous.
• The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting
from improper use of the product, or use which is different from that
expected and specified in the present documentation.
• Do not install the product in explosive atmosphere.
• The units making up the machine and its installation must meet the re -
quirements of the following European Directives: 2004/108/EEC, 2006/95/
EEC, 2006/42/EEC, 99/05/EEC (and later amendments). For all countries
outside the EEC, it is advisable to comply with the above-mentioned
standards, in addition to any national standards in force, to achieve a
good level of safety.
• The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting
from failure to observe Good Technical Practice when constructing clos-
ing structures (door, gates etc.), as well as from any deformation which
might occur during use.
• The installation must comply with the provisions set out by the following
European Directives: 2004/108/EEC, 2006/95/EEC, 2006/42/EEC, 99/05/
EEC and subsequent amendments.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on
the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
• Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply,
having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3,5 mm.
• Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just before
the power supply mains.
• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are needed
to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing, conveying and
shearing, according to and in compliance with the applicable directives
and technical standards.
• Position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where it
can be easily seen, and fix a Warning sign to the structure.
• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation
safety and correct operation when other manufacturer’s components are
used.
• Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
• Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorised
by the Company.
• Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the
manual opening operation in case of emergency.
• Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions,
is not allowed.
• Installation must be carried out using the safety devices and controls
prescribed by the EN 12978 Standard.
CHECKING INSTALLATION
Before the automated device is finally put into operation, perform the fol -
lowing checks meticulously:
• Make sure all components are fastened securely.
• Check that all safety devices (photocells, pneumatic safety edge, etc.) are
working properly.
• Check the emergency operation control device.
• Check opening and closing operations with the control devices ap -
plied.
• Check the electronic logic for normal (or personalized) operation in the
control panel.
ADJUSTING OPERATING FORCE
WARNING: Check that the force of impact measured at the points
provided for by standard EN 12445 is lower than the value laid
down by standard EN 12453.
Operating force is adjusted with extreme precision by means of the control
unit’s electronic control. Operation at the end of travel is adjusted electro-
nically in the control panel.
To provide good anti-crush safety, the operating force must be slightly greater
than that required to move the leaf both to close and to open it. Whatever
the case, the force, which is measured at the top outer edge of the leaf, must
not exceed the limits laid down by the above-mentioned standards.
CONTROL
There are various options when it comes to the control system (manual,
remote control, access control with magnetic badge, etc.) depending on
the installation’s needs and characteristics. See the relevant instructions for
the various control system options.
People due to use the automated device must be instructed how to control
and use it.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Gearbox malfunctioning
• Use an appropriate instrument to check for voltage across the gearbox
motor terminals after giving the opening or closing command.
If the motor vibrates but does not rotate, the problem may be:
• Incorrect wiring (see wiring diagram)
• If the leaf moves in the wrong direction, swap over the motor’s start
connections in the control unit.
The first command following a mains power outage should be open STOP
LEAVES.
SCRAPPING
Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations.
In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular
risks or danger. In case of recovered materials, these should be sorted out
by type (electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
DISMANTLING
WARNING: before opening the door, the spring must be unloaded (verti-
cal boom). When the automation system is disassembled to be reassembled
on another site, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the power supply and the entire electrical installation.
- Remove the actuator from its fixing base.
- Disassemble all the installation components.
- In the case where some of the components cannot be removed or are
Correct controller operation is only ensured when the data contained in
the present manual are observed. The Company is not to be held respon-
sible for any damage resulting from failure to observe the installation
standards and the instructions contained in the present manual.
The descriptions and illustrations contained in the present manual are
not binding. The Company reserves the right to make any alterations
deemed appropriate for the technical, manufacturing and commercial
improvement of the product, while leaving the essential product fea-
tures unchanged, at any time and without undertaking to update the
present publication.
