indicated may result in damage to the product and/or risk of injury.
6) FAAC S.p.A. shall not be liable for any damage caused by improper use of the automation or by any use other than that
for which it is intended.
7) Do not install this device in explosive atmospheres: the presence of flammable gas or fumes constitutes a serious hazard.
8) Mechanical structural elements must comply with UNI8612, CEN pr EN 12604 and CEN pr EN 12605 standards.
For countries outside the EU, mechanical structural elements must comply with the above standards in addition to any
national safety standards in order to obtain a reasonable degree of safety.
9) FAAC cannot be held responsible for failure to observe technical standards in the construction of gates on which the
automation is installed, or for any deformation of the gates which may occur during use.
10) Installation must comply with UNI8612, CEN pr EN 12453 and CEN pr EN 12635.
The degree of safety of the automation must be C+D.
11) Before carrying out any operations on the automation, disconnect the electrical power supply to the system.
12) Install a multi-pole switch on the supply line to the automation with a contact opening distance of 3 mm or more. We
recommend the use of a 6A thermal magnetic circuit breaker with multi-pole switching.
13) Ensure that a residual current device with a trip threshold of 0.03A is installed upstream of the automation system,
14) Check that the earthing system is installed correctly and is efficient. Connect the metal parts of the gate and the yellow/
green wire of the operator to the earthing system.
15) The automation is fitted with an anti-crushing safety system consisting of a torque control device which, in all cases, must
be used in conjunction with other safety devices.
16) The safety devices (e.g. photocells, safety edges, etc.) protect areas where there is a mechanical movement hazard,
e.g. crushing, entrapment and cutting.
17) Each installation must be fitted with at least one flashing light (e.g. FAAC LAMP, MINILAMP etc.) and a warning sign suitably
fixed to the gate, in addition to the safety devices as per point 16. above.
18) FAAC cannot be held responsible for the safe and correct operation of the automation in the event that parts other
than FAAC original parts are used.
19) Use only FAAC original spare parts for maintenance operations.
20) Do not carry out any modifications to automation components.
21) The installer must supply all information regarding manual operation of the system in the event of an emergency and
provide the end-user with the "End-user Guide" attached to the product.
22) Do not allow any persons, especially children, to stand in the vicinity of the automation when in operation.
23) Keep remote radio controls and any other control devices out of the reach of children to prevent accidental operation
of the automation.
24) The end-user must not attempt to repair or adjust the automation. These operations must be carried out exclusively by
qualified personnel.
25) Any operations not explicitly indicated in these instrructions are not permitted.
