WARNING! Important safety instructions. Carefully read and comply with the
Warnings booklet and Instruction booklet that come with the product as incorrect
installation can cause injury to people and animals and damage to property. They
contain important information regarding safety, installation, use and maintenance.
Keep hold of instructions so that you can attach them to the technical file and
keep them handy for future reference.
1) GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can
cause damage to persons, animals or things.
- The units making up the machine and its installation must meet the requirements
of the following European Directives: 2004/108/EEC, 2006/95/EEC, 2006/42/
EEC, 89/106/EEC and later amendments. For all countries outside the EEC, it is
advisable to comply with the above-mentioned standards, in addition to any
national standards in force, to achieve a good level of safety.
- The Firm disclaims all responsibility resulting from improper use or any use
other than that for which the product has been designed, as indicated he-
rein, as well as for failure to apply Good Practice in the construction of entry
systems (doors, gates, etc.) and for deformation that could occur during use.
- Make sure the stated temperature range is compatible with the site in which
the automated system is due to be installed.
-
Before performing installation, remove any cables or chains that are not nee-
ded and disable any equipment that is not required for installation purposes.
Also check that the door/gate is in a good state of mechanical repair, is cor-
rectly balanced and opens and closes as it should do.
- Do not install the product in an explosive atmosphere.
- Disconnect the electricity supply before performing any work on the system.
Also disconnect buffer batteries, if any are connected.
- Have the automated system’s mains power supply fitted with a switch or om-
nipolar thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with a contact separation of at least
3.5 mm.
- Make sure that upline from the mains power supply there is a residual current
circuit breaker that trips at 0.03A.
- Make sure the earth system has been installed correctly: earth all the metal
parts belonging to the entry system (doors, gates, etc.) and all parts of the
system featuring an earth terminal.
- Installation must be carried out using safety devices and controls that meet
standard EN 12978.
- Apply all safety devices (photocells, safety edges, etc.) required to keep the
area free of crushing, dragging and shearing hazards.
- The motor cannot be installed on panels incorporating doors (unless the mo-
tor can be activated when the door is open)
- If the automated device is installed at a height of less than 2.5 m or is accessi-
ble, the electrical and mechanical parts must be suitably protected.
- Any fixed controls must be installed within sight of the door but away from
moving parts. Unless the control is key operated, it must be installed at a
height of at least 1.5 m and in a place where it cannot be reached by the
public
- Apply at least one warning light (flashing light) in a visible position, and also
attach a Warning sign to the structure.
- If there are no instructions already, attach a label near the operating device,
in a permanent fashion, with information on how to operate the manual rele-
ase.
- Make sure that nothing can be crushed between the guided part and sur-
rounding fixed parts during the door’s operation
- Once installation is complete, make sure the motor has the right settings and
that the safety and release systems are working properly.
- Only use original spare parts for any maintenance or repair work. The Firm
disclaims all responsibility for the correct operation and safety of the automa-
ted system if parts from other manufacturers are used.
- Do not make any modifications to the automated system’s components un-
less explicitly authorized by the Firm.
- Dispose of packaging materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene, etc.) in accor-
dance with the provisions of the laws in force. Keep nylon bags and polystyre-
ne out of reach of children.
-
Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions, is not
allowed
.
- Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the manual
opening operation in case of emergency.
Warning! For connection to the mains power supply, use a multicore cable
with a cross-section of at least 4x1.5mm
2
of the kind provided for by the
regulations mentioned above (by way of example, type H05 VV-F cable can
be used with a cross-section of 4x1.5mm
2
). To connect auxiliary equipment,
use wires with a cross-section of at least 0,75 mm
2
.
Have an omnipolar circuit breaker installed with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm and featuring overload protection, suitable for cutting the
automated device off from the mains.
Only use pushbuttons with a capacity of 10A-250V or more.
The cables must be held in position using an extra fixing device in the prox-
imity of the terminals, e.g. with cable clamps.
Also add more clips to the limit device wires, to the transformer primary or
secondary wires, and to the wires connected to the printed circuit.
During installation, the power supply cable must be stripped in order for the
earthing wire to be connected to the appropriate terminal, but the active
wires must be left as short as possible. The earthing wire must be the last to
stretch in the case where the cable fixing device becomes loose.
WARNING: extremely low safety voltage cables must be phisically
separated from low voltage cables.
Access to the electrical compartment or to limit switches must be allowed
to skilled personnel only.
Setting sensitivity incorrectly can result in damage to property and
injury to people and animals.
Compliance with current safety rules with regard to people, animals and property
must be assured at all times and, more specifically, measures must be taken to avoid
risks of injury due to crushing, in the area where the pinion and rack mesh, and
any other mechanical hazards. All critical points must be protected by safety
devices in accordance with the provisions of the regulations in force.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATED DEVICE
Before the automated device is finally put into operation, perform the following
checks meticulously:
• Make sure all components are fastened securely.
• Check the correct functioning of all safety devices (limit microswitches, pho-
tocells, sensitive edges etc.).
• Make sure that the anti-crush system stops the door within the limits provided
for by the standards in force.
• Check the emergency operation control device.
• Check the opening and closing operations with the control devices in use.
• Check the standard and customised electronic functioning logic
.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: before opening the door, the spring must be unloaded (vertical
boom). WARNING: Before carrying out any maintenance to the installation,
disconnect the mains power supply. The following points need checking and
maintenance:
- Photocell optics. Clean occasionally.
- Electric edge. Carry out a periodical manual check to ensure that the edge
stops the bar in case of obstacles.
- Dismantle the gearmotor and replace the lubricating grease every two
years.
- When any operational malfunction is found, and not resolved, disconnect the
mains power supply and request the assistance of a specialised technician
(installer). When the operator is out of order, activate the emergency release
(see Fig. 2), if necessary, so as to release the manual boom opening and closing
operations.
SCRAPPING
Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations.
In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular risks
or danger. In case of recovered materials, these should be sorted out by type
(electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
DISMANTLING
When the automation system is disassembled to be reassembled on another
site, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect the power supply and the entire electrical installation.
- Remove the actuator from its fixing base.
- Disassemble all the installation components.
- In the case where some of the components cannot be removed or are dama-
ged, they must be replaced.
