• not to perform the automatic or semiautomatic function in the presence of known or suspected malfunctions;
• not to pull the cable to disconnect the equipment;
• not to let children, or those unable, use the cabinet keys or controls (including remote controls) even if only to play with;
• not to operate the barrier until it is completely in view;
• not to enter within the operating range while it is moving, wait for it to stop;
• not to rest against the bar or cabinet for any reason, even when the barrier is inactive and do not remain within the opera -
ting range of the barrier;
• not to let children or animal play within the operating range of the barrier;
• not to use the barrier for purposes (e.g. lifting of weights or persons) other than those foreseen. The manufacture holds no
responsibility what so ever for damages caused by the said actions;
• to perform periodic maintenance by specialised personnel;
• if there is a fault, turn off the power supply. Use the manual manoeuvre only if safe. Do not attempt to resolve the problem
yourself, contact a qualified technician of the manufacturer or authorised by the manufacturer. In any case, make sure that
the spare parts are original so that the safety of the barrier is not compromised. .
8. MAINTENANCE
To be performed by specialised personnel only after having turned off the power supply.
After every 100,000 manoeuvres, check:
- the greasing of the spring;
- the balance of the bar (see chapter “Bar fixing, spring fitting and bar balancing”);
- the efficiency of the force;
- the integrity of the battery, if present;
- The efficiency of the protection and safety devices;
- the wear on the mechanical stops and the adjustment of the limit switches (see chapter “Limit switch adjustment”).
The above mentioned maintenance is vital in order that the product functions correctly throughout time.
In general
It must be impossible for third parties to operate the barrier during maintenance; therefore turn off the mains power supply
(and battery if present).
• Release the bar first in order to facilitate the operation.
Greasing
1_ open the cabinet door;
2_ grease the eyelets of the screws of the balancing spring;
3_ grease the contact points between the cam of the manual release and the release lever;
4_ keep away from possible moving gears or mechanical parts.
FREQUENCY: every 100,000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing which the guarantee lapses.
N.B it is highly recommended to use high resistance grease based on calcium soap.
Bar balancing
Check the bar is balanced correctly repeating the operations described in “Bar fixing, spring fitting and bar balancing”. This
operation is fundamental for the correct functioning and duration of the barrier. If necessary, increase the preloading of the
springs in order to compensate for its wear. See the subsequent paragraph “Extraordinary maintenance and repairs” in the
event the springs need to be changed.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the force limitation efficiency
Check the correspondence between the true operation and the operation established during installation.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing which the guarantee lapses .
Control of the 12V dc battery
Check the charge level of the battery by means of a tester. If replacement is necessary, substitute the flat battery with an orig -
inal and do not dispose of it in the environment.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing which the guarantee lapses .
Control of the remaining protection and safety devices
Photocells: they can trigger both in opening as well as in closing; check the dip-switch programming. Clean the outer casing.
Check that the following specifications are respected:
• The flashing light is working and visible;
• The adhesive danger sign on the door is well attached and visible;
• The adhesive danger sign on the back of the barrier is well attached and visible. If these signs do not correspond to the
stated conditions, restore their original effectiveness or, if this is impossible, replace them.
FREQUENCY: every 6 months, failing which the guarantee lapses .
9. EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
ATTENTION: ON COMPLETION OF THE FIRST 2000 MANOEUVRES, THE ROD BALANCING PROCEDURE MUST BE CARRIED
OUT AGAIN.
If a complicated repair or replacement of electromechanical parts is necessary, the unit in question (control unit, gearmotor
unit) should be removed in order for the repair to be carried out by the manufacturer or by authorised technicians. Otherwise,
the safety and reliability of the barrier may be reduced (such as the guarantee for example).
