RBLO Series
14
Control of the force limitation efficiency
Check the correspondence between the true operation and the op-
eration 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 re-
placement is necessary, substitute the flat battery with an original
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 vis-
ible;
• 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
.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
ATTENTION: ON COMPLETION OF THE FIRST 2000 MANOEU-
VRES, THE ROD BALANCING PROCEDURE MUST BE CAR-
RIED 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).
NOTE: if the barrier is used in a saline environment or an en-
vironment that is highly contaminated by corrosive chemical
reactants, the frequency of the maintenance controls must
be increased due to the increased environmental deteriora-
tion; In this case the external metal cabinet should also be
inspected.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This paragraph deals with the most probable causes of common
faults, in order to promptly re-establish the barrier.
In any case the indicated case study is incomplete (both from a
cause point of view as well as a fault point of view).
a_ The barrier is blocked (open, closed or half-open):
1_ no power supply;
2_ inefficient commands;
3_ blown power supply fuse;
4_ photocells (also enabled during opening) active because they
are incorrectly aligned and/or covered (grass, etc);
b_ the barrier continues to open and close;
1_ check the false contacts of the remote control buttons and the
key selector switches that remain on;
c_ the barrier remains open;
1_ the photocells are active because they are not aligned and/or
dirty (mud, etc) and/or covered (grass, etc);
d_ the barrier has difficulty in opening;
1_ the bar balancing spring needs adjusting;
e_ the barrier lifts/lowers more than the foreseen limits;
1_ the mechanical limit switches need adjusting (see chapter
“LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT”).
DECOMMISSION
When the barrier has reached the end of its useful life it should
be removed and the reusable materials should be recycled. Pay
attention to that which is stipulated by local and/or national laws
and regulations. Care should be taken when recycling the follow-
ing parts:
• cabinet painted with epoxy paint
• methacrylate flashing light dome
• polycarbonate control unit box
• electronic cards
• 12V DC dry battery (lead acid)
• lithium grease inside the reduction gear
• minor plastic and/or rubber connections and protections.
RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT!
DISMANTLING WARNINGS: the barrier dismantling operations
must respect the safety measures: therefore, disconnect the power
supply before proceeding. Slacken (not completely) the adjustment
nut of the balancing spring so that the bar can be comfortably and
safely removed. Then unscrew the blocking screws on the base of
the cabinet in order to process as desired.
TRANSPORT
The bar, which can be purchased on request, is packed separately
from the barrier that is packaged in a cardboard box.
Care and attention must be taken throughout the handling phase.
Ideally, a manual or motorised trolley should be used for lifting and
movement. The items must be stored upright, even for short peri-
ods, respecting the direction that is indicate on the packaging and
taking into consideration that high centres of gravity cause instabil-
ity.
The bar must be stored making sure that there are no protruding
parts or loads that could damage it. Once unpacked, make sure
that it is intact. Do not discard the packaging, but rather recycle it
following local laws.
WARNING: to prevent suffocation or similar dangers, do not
allow children to handle the packaging.
GUARANTEE: GENERAL CONDITIONS
TAU guarantees this product for a period of 24 months from the

This guarantee covers the repair or replacement at TAU’s expense

The guarantee does not cover the following cases:
• If the fault was caused by an installation that was not per-
formed according to the instructions provided by the com-
pany inside the product pack.
• If original TAU spare parts were not used to install the prod-
uct.
• If the damage was caused by an Act of God, tampering,
overvoltage, incorrect power supply, improper repairs, in-
correct installation, or other reasons that do not depend on
TAU.
• If a specialised maintenance man does not carry out routine
maintenance operations according to the instructions pro-
vided by the company inside the product pack.
• Wear of components.
The repair or replacement of pieces under guarantee does not ex-
tend the guarantee period.
In case of industrial, professional or similar use, this warranty is
