1. SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
YOUR RISING BARRIER TYPE BL52/BL53 COMPRISES A MECHANISM AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS. ANY NEGLIGENCE DURING AN INTERVENTION IN THE MACHINE MAY SERIOUSLY
ENDANGER YOUR SAFETY. AS SOON AS YOU OPEN THE HOUSING, SWITCH OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
(4:1) LOCATED BEHIND THE SIDE DOOR (1:2). BE CAREFUL IN HANDLING ANY INTERNAL ELEMENT
WHICH MIGHT BE UNDER POWER OR COULD BE SET IN MOTION. THE HOOD SHOULD BE REMOVED ONLY
IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVING SHAFT OR THE SPRING, ADJUST THE ARM BALANCE OR PROCEED
WITH THE MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: Never raise the arm brackets by means of the crank, without the boom arm fixed for
counterbalancing the spring: the arm brakets would swing violently, with serious injury
risks for the operators.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING HEALTH & SAFETY PROCEDURES
The introduction of a pedestrian or vehicle barrier product as manufactured by Automatic Systems places a
duty of responsibility for the safety and well-being of any user(s) or person(s) in close proximity to such
equipment. You are required therefore to observe and put in place appropriate safety measures, as deemed
necessary.
Pedestrian flow must be prohibited anywhere within a vehicle barrier passage-way, unless the movement of
the barrier system is clearly indicated, e.g. audible and/or visual signals, floor marking, notices, etc.
Access keys to any of the internal mechanisms can only be issued to authorised and qualified personnel,
aware of the relevant electrical and mechanical safety codes and regulations in force. All equipment
housing must be kept locked.
You have a legal obligation and responsibility to enforce good safety practices at all times. See also note below.
Note: In the countries of the European Union, the requirement 1.3.7.2 of the EC Machines Directive
prescribes that the pictogram for "Dangerous area* -- no entry for pedestrians" be affixed on both
sides of the equipment (* within 1 meter of the barrier arm in its closed position).
The installation of detection loops must be validated by qualified personnel who will determine their optimal
configuration (adapted to vehicle type and passageway).
WARNING: The risk of injury exists for people when using standard detection loops; they can incorrectly detect
trucks and (motor)bikes and close the gate on them!
