Installation recommendations
Remember
there are specific standards that have to be strictly followed regarding the safety rules of
electrical installations and automatic gates and doors.
As for the legal requirements and standards that must be adhered to, please take notice of the following
points to ensure maximum safety and reliability of your installation.
1. Before installing, check the surrounding environment and carefully evaluate any potential hazards.
2. Check the main voltage numbers is the same as the numbers that are given on the rating plate and in this
manual.
3. Check and make sure if there is suitable electrical protection against short circuits/power spikes and a
properly earthed on the main supply.
Remember
the unit has main voltage running through it, so caution must be taken to avoid electrocution
and fire hazards.
4. Take care with the control unit; the parts may be subject to damage if the control unit is abused.
5. Make sure that you have all the necessary materials, and they are suitable for this kind of use.
6. Read all the instructions thoroughly, and make sure they are understood before attempting to install the
opener.
7. Before starting the installation carefully analyse all the risks relating to automating the door. Verify that the
door is automated in a sound condition and that the mechanisms are in good working order. Observe the
safety margins and minimum distances.
8. Carefully evaluate the safety devices to be installed and the right place to install them; always install an
emergency stop device for power interruption to the opener if it is required.
9. Once the risks have been analysed, install the opener and relative safety devices, emergency stop and/or
photoelectric cells.
Important note:
As for additional safety rules, we strongly recommends the fitting of Photo Electric safety
beams on all installations.
10. While installing the opener, strictly follow all the instructions given in the instruction manual. If some
points or procedures in this manual are not very clear, do not install the unit until all doubts have been
cleared up with our technical department.
