Safety instructions
General
These installation and operating manual must be read, understood
and complied with by persons who install, use or perform maintenance
on the operator.
Installation, connection and initial commissioning of the operator
may only be carried out by technically knowledgeable persons.
Only install the operator on correctly aligned and weight-balanced
doors. An improperly aligned door can cause serious injuries
or damage the operator.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for injuries, damage or break-
downs that occur due to non-compliance with the installation and
operating instructions.
Make sure that this installation and operating manual is kept within
easy reach in the garage.
Always ensure compliance with accident prevention regulations
and current standards in each respective country.
Observe and comply with the Employer’s Liability Rules
“Power-operated windows, doors and gates – BGR 232”.
(Applies to operators in Germany)
Always disconnect the plug for the control unit before working
on the operator.
Only use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare parts,
accessories and mounting material.
If the operator is used only occasionally, the batteries should be
recharged after no later than two months in accordance
with regulations.
The service life of the battery may decrease at low temperatures
and as the battery gets older.

The APERTO X-Box must be stored in an enclosed, dry area at a room
temperature of –20 – +50 °C.
+50°

The operator should be stored horizontally.
+50°

Store the X-Box upright.
Operation
The operator may only be operated if a non-hazardous force value
has been set. This force value must be set low enough to ensure
that the closing force poses no risk of injury.
Never put your hand near the door when it is moving or near
moving parts.
Keep children, disabled persons and animals away from the door.
Do not drive through the door until it has been fully opened.
There is a risk of persons being crushed or cut by the mechanism
or sharp edges of the door.
If the garage does not have a separate entrance or the garage door
does not have a built-in slip door, you must install an emergency
release (release lock or Bowden cable) that can be operated from
outside.
Radio remote control
The remote control must only be used for devices and systems
in which radio interference will not endanger people, animals
or objects, or the risk is reduced by other safety devices.
The user must be made aware that systems that pose an accident
risk should only be remote controlled, if at all, if the user can actually
see the door.
The radio remote control may only be used if the door’s movement
can be watched and no persons or objects are within the range
of movement.
Keep the handheld transmitter so that an unintended operation
e.g., by children or animals, is prevented.
The user of the radio system is not protected from faults due to other
telecommunications equipment or devices (e.g. radio-controlled
systems that are licensed to operate in the same frequency range).
If substantial interference occurs, please contact your appropriate
telecommunications of
fi
ce which has radio interference measuring
equipment (radio location).
Do not operate handheld transmitters near locations or installations
that are sensitive to radio interference (e.g.: airports, hospitals).
Intended use
Caution! Irreparable damage to the operator!
Do not use the operator to open or close doors unless
the counterbalance is set (springs tensioned).
Otherwise, you will damage or destroy the motor
(transmission).
Caution! Risk of death!
Remove all cords, straps and locks necessary to operate
the door by hand.
The operator is intended exclusively to open and close doors.
Any other use does not constitute intended use.
The manufacturer accepts no liability resulting from use other than
intended use. The user bears the sole responsibility for any risk
involved. It also voids the warranty.
Doors automated with an operator must comply with the valid standards
and directives:
e.g. EN 12604, EN 12605.
The operator may only be used if it is in perfect working order and is
used as intended, in conscious observation of safety and hazards and
in accordance with the installation and operating instructions.
Malfunctions which could affect safety must be corrected immediately.
The door must be stable and torsionally stiff, i.e. it must not bend
or twist when being opened or closed.
The operator cannot compensate for any defects in the door
or incorrect installation of the door.
Only use the operator in a dry, non-hazardous area.
Do not install the operator in areas with a corrosive atmosphere
(e.g. salty air).
