For reasons of safety, all the instructions in this manual must be observed scrupulously. Improper installation
or misuse of the product may result in serious injury.
2) Read the instructions carefully before installing the product.
3) Packaging material (plastic, polystyrene etc.) is a potential hazard and must be kept out of reach of children.
4) Keep these instructions for future reference.
5) This product has been designed and manufactured only for the use stated in this manual. Any use other than that
expressly 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 or injury 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 is 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 EC, mechanical structural 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 the 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 system, disconnect the electrical power supply.
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" supplied with the product.
22) Do not allow any persons, especially children, to stand in the vicinity of the automation when in operation.
23) Keep the 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 described in these instructions are not permitted.
