INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM USERS
CONGRATULATIONS
on choosing a Tau product for your automation system!
Tau S.r.l. produces components for automatic gates, doors, barriers and shutters. These include gear motors, control units, radio control
devices, lashing lights, photocells and accessories.
Tau products are exclusively made with top quality materials and processes and, as a company, we constantly research and develop innovative
solutions in order to make our equipment increasingly easier to use. We also pay great attention to all details (technology, appearance and
ergonomics). The extensive Tau range makes it possible for your itter to choose the product which best meets your requirements.
Tau, however, does not produce your automated system as this is the outcome of a process of analysis, evaluation, choice of materials and
installation performed by your itter.
Each automated system is unique, therefore, and only your itter has the experience and professionalism required to create a system that is
tailor-made to your requirements, featuring long-term safety and reliability, and, above all, professionally installed and compliant with current
regulations.
An automated system is handy to have as well as being a valid security system. Just a few, simple operations are required to ensure it lasts for
years.
DESCRIPTION
The
MASTER
automated system for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical non-reversing operator that transmits motion to the leaf via a worm
screw system.
The operator is available in 12V DC, 230V AC and 400V AC versions.
The non-reversing system ensures the leaf is mechanically locked when the motor is not operating. A convenient and safe release system with
customised key makes it possible to manually move the leaf in the event of a malfunction or of a power failure.
Even if your automated system satisies regulatory safety standards, this does not eliminate “residue risks”, that is, the possibility of dangerous
situations being generated, usually due to irresponsible and/or incorrect use. For this reason we would like to give you some suggestions on
how to avoid these risks:
-
Before using the system for the irst time:
ask your itter to explain how residue risks can arise and read the instructions and warnings in
the user handbook that your itter will have given you. Keep this manual for future use and, if you should ever sell your automated system,
hand it over to the new owner.
-
Your automated system carries out your commands to the letter:
irresponsible and/or incorrect use may cause it to become dangerous.
Do not use the system if people, animals and/or objects enter its operating area.
-
IT IS NOT A TOY!
Make sure children do not play near the system and keep the remote control device out of their reach.
-
Faults:
If you notice any abnormal behaviour, disconnect the system from the power supply immediately and perform the manual release
operation (see igure). Do not attempt to repair the door but call in your itter: the system will operate manually as it did before installation.
-
Maintenance:
to ensure long life and totally safe operation, the system required routine maintenance, just like any other piece of machinery.
Establish maintenance times together with your itter. Tau recommends a frequency of 6 months for normal domestic installations but this
may vary depending on the intensity of use (always every 3000 work cycles).
N.B.: All controls, maintenance work and/or repairs may only be carried out by qualiied personnel.
- Do not modify the plant or the relative programming and adjustment parameters: your itter will see to that.
N.B. Final testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be documented by the itter (in the relative spaces) and such documents
kept by the owner of the system
(IF THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT PRODUCED, THE WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE).
-
Disposal:
At the end of system life, make sure that it is demolished by qualiied personnel and that the materials are recycled or disposed
of according to local regulations.
The manual manoeuvre must ONLY be done with the door stopped and AFTER disconnecting power from the electrical control unit.
N.B.:
if your remote control unit (if supplied) starts working badly after a time, or does not work at all, the batteries may be lat (they can last
from several months to 2/3 years depending on what type is used). This can be seen from the fact that the transmission conirmation LED gets
dimmer or only turns on for brief moments. Before contacting your itter, try exchanging the battery with one from a good transmitter: if this is the
reason for the fault, simply replace the battery with another one of the same type.
If you wish to add a new automated system to your house, contact your itter and we at Tau to have the advice of a specialist, the most developed
products on the market, best operation and maximum automation compatibility.
Thank you for reading these suggestions and we trust you are fully satisied with your new system: please contact your itter for any further
requirements.
