!
During manual operation, gently guide the leaf the
whole way, do not push it and let it slide freely.
The maximum force required to move the leaf by
hand over its entire length of travel must be 225 N
for residential areas and 260 N for industrial or com-
mercial areas.
The maximum force required to start the movement
must be less than the maximum thrust force of the
operator indicated in the technical data.
The leaf must fall within the dimensional and weight
limits indicated in the technical data.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice
and strong wind, even occasional, could affect the
correct operation of the automation, the integrity of
the components and be a potential source of danger
(see § Emergency use).
C4000I is not designed to be a security (break-in
protection) system.
If there is a pedestrian access gate integrated in the leaf
of the gate, the motorised movement must be disabled
when the pedestrian gate is not in a safe position.
The installation must be visible during the day and
at night. If it is not, appropriate solutions must be
provided to make the fixed and moving parts visible .
Implementing the automation requires the installa-
tion of the necessary safety devices, identified by the
installer through an appropriate risk assessment of
the installation site.
