MAINTENANCE
Actuators need very little maintenance; however their function depends also on the gate conditions,
hence here are operations to be done to keep the gate efficient at all times.
Warning: no one but the maintenance man, who must be a specialized technician, must be able to
control the automatic gate while it is being serviced. For this reason please turn off electricity,
avoiding also electric shocks hazard. If on the contrary electricity must be on for certain checks,
remember to check or disable any control device (remote controls, push button panels etc.) except
the one used by the service man.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be done when needed and in all cases at least every 6 months:
1) Mechanical maintenance
-
Lubricate (with oilier) the hinges on which the gate swings;
-
check the good conditions of brackets and motor’s hinges;
-
do an unlocking operation to be sure the mechanism is always efficient.
2) Electrical maintenance
-
Check the proper working of the safety devices;
-
check the electronic friction’s efficacy;
-
check the earth system’s (differential’s) efficacy. Try the differential switcher once a month
by pushing the special test button on the switcher.
GENERAL ADVICE
Install a gate’s safety system that complies with current regulations. Choose short routes for cables
and keep power cables separate from control ones. Install the control card in a waterproof box.
Please refer to current regulations when setting the gear motor’s maximum torque.
We advice you to install an outdoor switch, in compliance with European standards on the issue of
safety, to turn the electricity off when servicing the gate.
Check that each single installed device is efficient and effective.
Affix easily readable signs warning about the presence of a motorized gate.
USE
It is absolutely forbidden to use the device for any other purposes. The installed electronic unit (which
must have built-in electric friction), allows to select the following functions:
automatic:
one control impulse will open or close the gate;
semi-automatic
: one control impulse will open or close the gate.
In case of blackout, act on the manual unlocking device and move manually the gate. Remember that
this is an automatic device powered by electricity, consequently use with care. In particular,
remember:
-
not to touch the device with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
-
to turn off electricity before opening the control box and/or actuator;
-
not to pull the lead to pull the plug out;
-
to put the gate in movement only when it is completely visible;
-
to keep out of the gate’s range of action if it is moving. Wait until it has stopped;
-
not to let children or animals play near the gate;
-
not to let children use the remote control or other operating devices;
-
to carry out routine maintenance;
-
in case of failure, to turn off electricity and operate the gate manually only if it is possible and
safe. Refrain from touching the gate and call an authorized technician.
