GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLERS
Important safety instructions.
Please follow all of these instructions. Improper installation may cause serious bodily harm.
Before continuing, please also read the general precautions for users.
Only use this product for its intended purpose. Any other use is hazardous. • The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
any damage caused by improper, unreasonable or erroneous use. • This product is defined by the Machinery Directive
(2006/42/EC) as partly completed machinery. • Partly completed machinery means an assembly which is almost
machinery but which cannot in itself perform a specific application. • Partly completed machinery is only intended to be
incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment thereby forming
machinery to which the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) applies. • The final installation must comply with the Machinery
Directive (2006/42/EC) and the European reference standards in force. • The manufacturer declines any liability for using
non-original products, which would also void the warranty. • All operations indicated in this manual must be carried out
exclusively by skilled and qualified personnel and in full compliance with the regulations in force. • The device must be
installed, wired, connected and tested according to good professional practice, in compliance with the standards and laws
in force. • All the components (e.g. actuators, photocells and sensitive edges) needed for the final installation to comply
with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and with the reference harmonised technical standards are specified in the
general CAME product catalogue or on the website www.came.com. • Make sure the mains power supply is disconnected
during all installation procedures. • Check that the temperature ranges given are suitable for the installation site. • The
appliance must be powered with a voltage corresponding to the value shown on the rating plate. Power must be supplied
through a very low safety voltage system. • Do not install the operator on surfaces that could yield and bend. If necessary,
add suitable reinforcements to the anchoring points. • Make sure that no direct jets of water can wet the product at the
installation site (sprinklers, water cleaners, etc.). • Make sure you have set up a suitable dual-pole cut-off device along
the power supply that is compliant with the installation rules. It should completely cut off the power supply according to
category III surcharge conditions. • Demarcate the entire site properly to prevent unauthorised personnel from entering,
especially minors. • In case of manual handling, have one person for every 20 kg that needs hoisting; for non-manual
handling, use proper hoisting equipment in safe conditions. • Use suitable protection to prevent any mechanical hazards
due to persons loitering within the operating range of the operator. • The electrical cables must pass through special pipes,
ducts and cable glands in order to guarantee adequate protection against mechanical damage. • The electrical cables
must not touch any parts that may overheat during use (such as the motor and transformer). • Before installation, check
that the guided part is in good mechanical condition, and that it opens and closes correctly. • The product cannot be used
to automate any guided part that includes a pedestrian gate, unless it can only be enabled when the pedestrian gate is
secured. • Make sure that nobody can become trapped between the guided and fixed parts, when the guided part is set in
motion. • All fixed controls must be clearly visible after installation, in a position that allows the guided part to be directly
visible, but far away from moving parts. In the case of a hold-to-run control, this must be installed at a minimum height
of 1.5 m from the ground and must not be accessible to the public. • If not already present, apply a permanent tag that
describes how to use the manual release mechanism close to it. • Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted
and that the safety and protection devices and the manual release are working properly. • Before handing over to the final
user, check that the system complies with the harmonised standards and the essential requirements of the Machinery
Directive (2006/42/EC). • Any residual risks must be indicated clearly with proper signage affixed in visible areas, and
explained to end users. • Put the machine’s ID plate in a visible place when the installation is complete. • If the power-
supply cable is damaged, it must be immediately replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorised technical assistance
centre, or in any case, by qualified staff, to prevent any risk. • Keep this manual inside the technical folder along with
the manuals of all the other devices used for your automation system. • Make sure to hand over to the end user all the
operating manuals of the products that make up the final machinery.
