Any usage differing from that described above is forbidden.
Any usage differing from that described above is forbidden.
• The operator may not be installed or used in potentially explosive environments.
• Motorised gates must conform to current European standards and Directives, including EN 12604 and EN 12605.
he operator may only be used when in perfect working order and in compliance with the intended use, in the awareness of safety and hazard conditions and in compliance with the instructions for installation and use.
• Any dysfunctions that may pose threats to safety must be eliminated immediately.
• The gate must be stable, properly hung and resistant to fl exion (it must not bend during opening and closure movements).
• The operator cannot compensate for faulty or incorrectly hung gates. The operator may not be used in environments prone to fl ooding.
• Do not use the operator in environmental conditions characterised by harsh atmospheric agents (e.g. salty air).
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
General instructions and warnings
his manual is designed for use by PROFESSIONAL FITTERS only. Installation of the control unit requires practical and theoretical knowledge of mechanics, electrics and electronics
as well as current sector legislation and regulations.
nce the control unit has been installed, it is forbidden for users to perform any operation on the control unit even following the instructions in this manual, which, as mentioned previously,
are intended for use by qualifi ed personnel only.
itters must operate in compliance with the following: law 46/90, directive 98/37/EC, 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and subsequent amendments, and must also make constant reference to
harmonised standards EN 12453 and EN 12445.
he indications given in this manual must always be observed when installing, connecting, adjusting, testing and setting the control unit. The Manufacturer will not accept responsibility
for damage or injury caused by non-compliance with the safety indications given in this manual.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and faults to the control unit caused by non-observance of the instructions contained in this manual.
Keep this manual in a safe and easily accessible place so that it can be consulted rapidly when necessary.
Keep this manual in a safe and easily accessible place so that it can be consulted rapidly when necessary.
During installation, connection, trial run and usage of the control unit, observe all applicable accident prevention and safety regulations.
In the interests of safety and optimal functioning of the control unit, only use original spares, accessories, devices and fastening apparatus.
o not perform alterations on any control unit device or component. This type of operation may cause malfunctions. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage caused by
products that have been modifi ed.
hould liquids penetrate inside the control unit, disconnect the electricity supply and contact the Manufacturer’s Assistance Service immediately; use of the control unit in such conditions
may cause hazard situations.
In the event of long periods of inactivity, in order to prevent the leakage of harmful substances from the battery (optional), it should be removed, stored in a dry place and recharged periodically.
In the case of faults or problems that cannot be resolved using the information contained in this manual, contact the Manufacturer’s assistance service.
Storage instructions and warnings
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and faults to control unit functioning caused by non-compliance with the storage instructions given below.
The control unit must be stored in closed, dry places, at room temperatures of between –20 and +70°C and raised off the ground.
Keep the control unit away from sources of heat and naked fl ames, which could damage it and cause malfunctions, fi res or hazard situations.
ATTENTION: Important safety instructions. Follow all instructions carefully, incorrect installation may cause serious injury.
efore commencing installation we highly recommend reading the instructions and warnings contained in this manual carefully (see the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS Chap)
and observing the instructions it contains.
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR INSTALLATION
Before commencing installation read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS chapter carefully.
The PROFESSIONAL FITTER who installs the control unit is responsible for performing risk analysis and regulating the automation’s safety devices consequentially.
Before commencing installation, check whether further devices or materials are needed to complete the automation in order to suit the specifi c situation in which it will be used.
The Fitter must check that the temperature range declared on the operator (see Technical Data Chap.) is suited to the place in which the device is installed.
The operator cannot be fi tted on gates with separate pedestrian access, unless operator function is prevented when the door is open.
Before installing the operator, ensure that the gate is in good mechanical conditions, correctly balanced and that it opens and closes correctly.
Ensure that there is no risk of entrapment between the open gate and surrounding parts following the opening movement.
ny normally open/off buttons installed for the activation of the operator must be positioned so that they are within view of the gate but distant from moving parts. Unless said commands
operate using keys, they must be positioned at a minimum height of 1.5m and not accessible to unauthorised persons.
Once the automation has been installed, ensure that it is correctly adjusted and that the protection systems and release work properly.
It is strictly forbidden to motorise a gate that is not already effi cient and secure as the automation cannot resolve faults caused by incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the gate.
During installation, make constant reference to harmonised standards EN 12453 and EN12445.
nsure that the individual devices to be installed are compatible with
control unit, paying careful attention to the points raised in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter. Do not proceed if even just
one device is unsuitable for the intended use.
Ensure that the place of installation of the central unit is not prone to fl ooding, does not contain sources of heat or naked fl ames, fi res or hazard situations in general.
During installation, protect control unit components in order to prevent liquids (e.g. rain) and/or foreign bodies (earth, gravel, etc) penetrating inside.
Connect the control unit to a power supply line created in compliance with current regulations and earthed and fi tted with a power supply sectioning switch.
The control unit may be fi tted with a pair of buffer batteries (optional); the installation, maintenance and replacement of buffer batteries must be performed by a PROFESSIONAL FITTER.
Wrapping materials must be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
Wear protective goggles when making holes for clamping.
n the event of work at heights of over 2m from the ground, for example for the installation of the indicator lamp or aerial, fi tters must be equipped with ladders, safety harnesses, protective helmet,
and all other equipment required by law and the standards governing this kind of work. Refer to Directive 89/655/EEC amended by 2001/45/EC.
