properly.
– Before installing the drive motor, remove all unnecessary ropes
or chains and deactivate any equipment not required for motor
-
ised operation, such as locking devices.
– If the gate being automated has a pedestrian gate, the system
must be equipped with a control device that inhibits the motor’s

– Install the manoeuvre device for manual unlocking at less than
1.8 m above the ground. NOTE - If removable, the manoeuvre
device must be kept next to the door when removed.
– Make sure that the control elements are kept far from moving
parts but nonetheless directly within sight. Unless a selector
is used, the control elements must be installed at least 1.5 m
above the ground and must not be accessible.
