installed, and must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The electric line must be exclusively reserved for the motorisation and equipped with protection, comprising:
-
a 10 A fuse or breaker,

a differential type device (30 mA).
An all-pole supply cut-off device must be provided.
It is recommended that you fit a lightning conductor (maximum residual voltage 2 kV).

the accessories cables.
For overground cables, use a cable grommet that will withstand the weight of vehicles (ref. 2400484).
Safety instructions relating to installation
DANGER
Do not connect the motorisation to a power source (mains, battery or solar) before installation is complete.
WARNING
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping) between the driven part and the surrounding fixed elements
caused by the opening movement of the driven part are avoided or indicated on the installation (see the section on risk
prevention).
