• It is the fitter’s duty to perform risk analysis and inform the user/owner of any existing residual risks. Any residual risk detected must be recorded in writing in the operator
manual.
• The following residual risks are usually present in moving gates: impact and crushing against the main closure surface (of the single leaf or between the two leaves); impact and
crushing in the opening area; crushing between the mobile and fixed guide and support parts during movement; mechanical risks caused by movement.
• The Manufacturer will not accept responsibility for damage or injury caused by the non-observance of the information on use contained in this manual, and the failure to observe
the safety indications given below.
• The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage and malfunctions caused by non-compliance with the instructions for use.
• Keep this manual in a safe, easily accessible place, so that it can be consulted rapidly when necessary
• Before activating the gate ensure that all persons are at a safe distance.
• Never touch the gate or moving parts when in motion.
• Remain at a safe distance when the gate is in motion: only pass when the gate is completely open and immobile.
• Do not allow children to play with gate controls; do not leave radio controls or other control devices within children’s reach.
• Prevent children from playing or standing in the vicinity of the gate or the control organs (radio controls), the same precautions should be adopted for disabled persons and animals.
• In the event of malfunctions (noisiness, jerky movements, etc.) suspend the use of the automation immediately: failure to observe this rule may entail serious hazards, risks of accidents and/or
serious damage to the gate and the automation. Contact a PROFESSIONAL FITTER and in the meantime use the gate manually by disconnecting the operator (see the
OPERATOR/ACTUATOR RELEASE chapter).
• In order to maintain the automation in efficient conditions, ensure that the operations indicated in the MAINTENANCE chapter are performed at the frequency indicated by a PROFESSIONAL
FITTER.
• Examine the installation frequently in order to check that there are no signs of mechanical unbalance, wear and damage to the wires and assembled parts: do not use the operator until the
necessary repairs or adjustments have been made.
• Should liquids penetrate inside the control unit, disconnect the power supply immediately and contact the Manufacturer’s Assistance Service; the use of the automation in such conditions may
cause hazard situations. The automation may not be used in these conditions, even with buffer batteries (optional).
.
If a problem arises that cannot be resolved using the information contained in this manual, contact the Manufacturer’s assistance service.
11 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
11.1 Indications and warnings for use
12 MAINTENANCE
12.1 Maintenance instructions and warnings
• Once the automation has been tested, the parameters set must not be altered. If further adjustments (e.g. alterations to the voltage value) are made, ALL THE CHECKS REQUIRED FOR
TESTING AND COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS MUST BE REPEATED.
• The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage or injury caused by non-compliance with the information provided in this manual and the safety instructions provided below.
• The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and malfunctions deriving from non-compliance with the maintenance instructions.
• In order to keep the operator efficient and safe, follow the cleaning, checking and routine maintenance procedures as described in this manual. This is the owner’s duty.
• Any checking, maintenance or repair work must be conducted by a PROFESSIONAL FITTER
• Always switch off the electricity supply in the event of malfunctions, breakdowns and before any other operations in order to avoid the gate from being activated.
• Always disconnect the operator’s power supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning operation.
• The owner is not authorised to remove the control unit cover as it contains live parts.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer or its technical Assistance service or in any case a person with a similar qualification in order to avoid risks.
• Use original spare parts, accessories and clamping material only.
• Do not perform technical or programming modifications on the control unit. Operations of this type may cause malfunctions and/or risk of accidents. The Manufacturer declines responsibility
for damage deriving from modified products.
• In the event of intervention of automatic or fuse switches, before restoring function conditions identify and eliminate the fault. Request the intervention of a PROFESSIONAL FITTER.
• The disconnection and replacement of the pair of buffer batteries (optional) may be performed by a PROFESSIONAL FITTER only.
• If a fault that cannot be solved following the information contained in the present manual arises, contact the manufacturer’s assistance service.
• All maintenance, repair or replacement of parts must be recorded in the maintenance log, which is SUPPLIED AND INITIALLY FILLED IN BY THE FITTER.
12.2 Routine maintenance
Every 6 months a PROFESSIONAL FITTER should repeat the series of tests described for automation testing (see INSTALLATION MANUAL – TESTING AND TRIAL RUN Chap. ).
13 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
• The control unit is constructed using various materials, which implies the adoption of different disposal procedures. Refer to regulations in force in the country in
which the automation is installed, especially with regard to the buffer batteries (if present).
• If present the batteries must be removed from the control unit prior to disposal. Disconnect the control unit from the electricity supply before removing batteries.
Contact qualified firms for disposal.
10.2 First Usage
The automation may only be used for the first time once all the checks described in the TESTING chapter have been performed successfully. The automation may not be used in precarious or tempo
-
rary conditions.
a) Compile a technical file for the automation, which must include at least:
• a general mechanical and electrical diagram,
• risk analysis and solutions adopted for eliminating or reducing risks,
• manuals of the individual components,
• list of the components used,
• instructions for use and warnings concerning use by the owner,
• system maintenance record
• declaration of the system’s CE conformity
b) Fix a CE marking plate to the gate, bearing at least the following information:
• Name and address of the party responsible for installation and testing;
• Type of automation;
• Model;
• Registration number;
• Year of installation
• CE mark
c) Fill in the declaration of conformity and give it to the owner of the automation.
d) Compile the guide with the instruction manual (EN 12635 p. 5.3 and 5.4) and give it to the owner of the automation.
e) Compile the maintenance and improvement log (EN 12635 p.5.3) and give it to the owner of the automation.
f) Compile the guide containing the instructions for maintenance that provides instructions concerning the maintenance of all automation devices (EN 12635 p. 5.3 and 5.5) and give it to the owner
of the automation.
g) Before the first use of the automation, the owner must have been given adequate information concerning hazards and residual risks.
