1.3.
Preliminary checks
1.3.1. Installation environment
ATTENTION
Do not spray water onto the motorisation.
Do not install the motorisation in an explosive environ-
ment.
Check that the temperature range marked on the motori-
sation is suited to the installation location.
1.3.2. Condition of the gate to be motorised
Do not motorise a gate which is in poor working order or has
been incorrectly installed.
Before installing the motorisation, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition
• the gate is stable regardless of its position
• the structures supporting the gate allow the motorisation
to be fixed securely. Strengthen these if necessary.
• the gate can be opened and closed properly using a force
of less than 150 N.
1.4. Risk prevention
WARNING
Risk prevention - motorisation of a hinged gate for
residential use
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping)
between the motorised section and the surrounding fixed
sections created by the opening of the motorised section
are avoided or indicated on the installation.
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels near to any
fixed control devices or so that they are clearly visible to
the user.

Risk zones: measures to be taken to eliminate risks.
RISK
SOLUTION
ZONE 1
Risk of crushing
during closing
Obstacle detection built into the
motorisation. Obstacle detection
must be confirmed as being compli-
ant with Appendix A of standard EN
12 453.
For operation with automatic clos-
ing, install photoelectric cells.
ZONE 2
Risk of cutting or
crushing between
the gate leaf and
any adjoining fixed
sections
Obstacle detection built into the
motorisation. Obstacle detection
must be confirmed as being compli-
ant with Appendix A of standard EN
12 453.
Protection via safety distances (see
figure 1)
ZONE 3
Risk of crushing
with an adjoining
fixed part upon
opening
Obstacle detection built into the
motorisation. Obstacle detection
must be confirmed as being compli-
ant with Appendix A of standard EN
12 453.
Mechanical protection (see figure 2)
Eliminate any gap ≥ 8 mm or ≤
25 mm
ZONE 4
Risk of jamming
between the sec-
ondary edges and
the adjoining fixed
parts
Obstacle detection built into the
motorisation. Obstacle detection
must be confirmed as being compli-
ant with Appendix A of standard EN
12 453.
Eliminate any gap ≥ 8 mm or ≤
50 mm
ZONE 5
Risk of cutting be-
tween the arms, the
arms and the motor
cover.
Risk of crushing
between the arms
and gate
Obstacle detection built into the
motorisation. Obstacle detection
must be confirmed as being compli-
ant with Appendix A of standard EN
12 453.
Protection via safety distances (see
figure 1)
No protection is required if the gate has continuous control
or if the danger zone is more than 2.5 m above ground or any
other permanent access level.
