GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
If correctly installed and used, the DOMOSWING automated
system ensures a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules concerning behaviour can prevent
accidental trouble:
- Do not pass through the leaves while they are moving.
Wait for the leaves to open fully before passing through.
- Do not, on any account, stand between the leaves.
- Do not stand near the automated system or allow children,
persons or things to stand or lie there, especially while it is
in use.
- Keep remote controls or other pulse generators away
from children, to prevent the automated system from
being activated involuntarily.
- Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
- Do not willingly obstruct leaf movement.
- Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with leaf
movement.
- Keep indicator-lights efficient and easy to see.
- Do not attempt to activate the leaves by hand unless you
have released them.
- In the event of a malfunction, release the leaves to allow
access and wait for qualified technical personnel to do
the necessary work.
- Before attempting any job on the system, cut out electrical
power and disconnect the batteries (if provided).
- Do not in any way modify the components of the
automated system.
- Do not attempt any kind of repair or direct action whatever
and contact qualified personnel only for the purpose.
- At least every six months: arrange a check of the
automated system, safety devices and accessories.
DESCRIPTION
These instructions apply to the following models:
FAAC DOMOSWING
The FAAC DOMOSWING automated system for residential
swing gates consists of non-reversing electro-mechanical
linear operators, powered by 12 Vdc, through battery or
transformer. Each operator is coupled to an electronic
control unit ensuring correct operation
If using the battery-powered version, it should be considered
that this is a work battery (not a back-up battery) therefore
when the battery is discharged, the automated system has
to allow for its recharge in order to resume operation.
The operators are controlled by an electronic control unit
(one for each motor), housed in an enclosure with adequate
degree of protection against atmospheric agents.
The leaves are normally in closed position.
When the electronic control unit receives an opening
command via the remote control or any other pulse
generator, it activates the operator to rotate the leaves
until they reach the opening position allowing access.
If automatic operating mode was set, the leaves closes
automatically after selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic operating mode was set, a second
pulse must be sent to close the gate again.
A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.
For details on the behaviour of the automated system in
different function logics, consult the installation Technician.
Automated systems may include safety devices that prevent
the leaves from moving when there is an obstacle in the
area they protect.
The DOMOSWING automated system is provided with an
adjustable anti-crushing device which reverses leaf
movement in case of contact with an obstacle.
The warning-light indicates that the leaves are moving.
MANUAL OPERATION
If the gate has to be moved manually due to a malfunction
of the automated system, use the release device as follows:
• Fit the supplied Allen wrench in the front part of the
operator and turn it anti-clockwise for 5-6 turns (Fig. 1-
Ref.
).
• Lift the operator by its front end, detaching it from the
fitting (Fig. 1- Ref.
) and remove the release key.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION MODE
Procedure to relock the gate:
• Re-position the operator on the front fitting (Fig. 2);
• Fit and turn the release key clockwise until the operator
reaches the closing stop position.
• Remove the release key.
