Usage Features
The manual emphasizes several key usage features and safety instructions:
- Installation: The installation process involves several steps, starting with preparing the concrete base and marking the fixing holes. The operator is then positioned and secured, followed by the installation of the rack along the gate leaf. Proper alignment of the rack and gear is crucial, with a recommended 2 mm clearance between the rack tooth's top and the gear tooth's bottom. Shims may be required to ensure rack alignment if the gate leaf is warped.
- Electrical Installation: All electrical conductors must be installed correctly to avoid damage to the wiring. The wiring must run through conduits and internally through the floor base to ensure no wiring conductor is trapped or damaged. A crucial safety feature is the grounding terminal, which must be connected to the mains grounding cable. The device must be powered via a residual-current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA. The power supply conductor for indoor use must be a 3 x 0.75-mm² flexible cable, 500V, according to NBR NM 247-3. For external use, it must be a 3 x 0.75-mm² flexible cable, 500V, according to IEC 60245-57 norm.
- Gate Automation Setup: Before adapting the operator to the gate, the gate's mechanical conditions must be checked. The gate must slide freely and be perfectly straight, leveled, and periodically cleared of any element or dirt that makes it difficult for the pulleys to slide along its entire length.
- Analog Limit Switch Installation: This involves positioning the magnet support on the rack in front of the operator's REED for both closing and opening limits. The magnets are then adjusted to ensure proper operation.
- Safety Recommendations:
- The installer must be a PPA specialized installer and follow all instructions in the Technical Manual and User's Manual.
- The User's Manual contains important safety information, applications, and security items.
- Before operating, the user must read and follow the instructions.
- Before installing, ensure the local electric power supply is compatible with the required equipment identification label.
- Do not turn on the electric power supply until installation or maintenance is completed. Always make sure the control board electrical connections are properly supplied by turning off the power.
- Once installation is complete, ensure the gate parts do not extend into public pathways.
- Using total shutdown devices when installing an operator is mandatory.
Maintenance Features
The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to address common problems and their corrections:
- The motor does not turn on / does not operate:
- Probable Causes: Power supply is off, open/blown fuse, locked gate, defective limit switch.
- Corrections: Ensure electrical power supply is connected correctly, replace the fuse with the same specification, make sure nothing is blocking the gate operation, check the limit switch system (analog and/or digital).
- The motor is blocked:
- Probable Causes: Inverted motor connection, locked gate or operator.
- Corrections: Check the motor wires, put in manual mode and check separately.
- The electronic control board does not accept command:
- Probable Causes: Fuse blown, mains disconnected power supply, defect in the discharged remote control, transmitting range (remote control).
- Corrections: Replace the fuse, turn on the mains (power supply), check the remote control battery, check the position of the receiver antenna and, if necessary, reposition it to ensure the range.
- The motor only runs to one of the sides:
- Probable Causes: Inverted motor wires, inverted end-of-course system, defect in the control board.
- Corrections: Check the motor connection, invert the limit switch connector (analog and/or digital), replace the control board.
This comprehensive guide ensures that users can effectively install, operate, and maintain their PPA DZ HUB R gate automation system, maximizing its lifespan and ensuring safe operation.
