CARE WITH THE GATE BEFORE OPERATOR
Before applying the automation to the gate, some procedures should be taken:
- Check the mechanical conditions, whether the balancing is correct and whether
the opening and closing are suitable. Remove any equipment not necessary for
the operation of the apparatus, such as locks, ropes, chains, tools, among others
- The unlocking (manual release) must be installed at a height of less than 1,8 m;
- In the case of buttonhole installations (optional fixed control), install at a height
of at least 1.5 m from the floor and in view of the door, further away from moving
parts;
- Attach crush risk warning, available in the operator kit, in places visible or near
the button (fixed control);
- Check the manual release system, fixed close to the actuation element of the
unlocking;
- Move the gate leaf manually (opening and closing) and observe the required
effort. The leaf should rise and fall, throughout the course, with the minimum of
effort;
- Check the balance of the door leaf. Lift the sheet up to the middle of the path and
observe whether it remains stationary. If the sheet remains stationary, the gate will
be satisfactorily balanced. This equilibrium condition must occur for approximately
80% of the course, with imbalance close to the extremes of the course being
permissible.
- The gate shall have a sturdy and, as far as possible, non-deformable structure.
INSTALLATION AND FIXING THE OPERATOR
Before installing the operator, remove all unnecessary cables and
disable any equipment or system connected to the power grid.
