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. • The product, in its
original packaging supplied by the manufacturer, must only be transported in a closed environment (railway carriage, containers,
closed vehicles). • If the product malfunctions, stop using it and contact customer services at https://www.came.com/global/en/
contact-us or via the telephone number on the website. • The manufacture date is provided in the production batch printed on
the product label. If necessary, contact us at https://www.came.com/global/en/contact-us. • The general conditions of sale are
given in the official CAME price lists.
