This document is a comprehensive "USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL" for Roger Technology swing gates, identified as Rev.02, dated 30/03/2020. It provides essential information for the safe operation, installation, and upkeep of various swing gate automation systems.
Function Description
The Roger Technology swing gates are automated systems designed for controlling access through gates. These systems allow for remote operation, enhancing convenience and security for residential, condominium, industrial, commercial, and parking applications. The manual covers several series of swing gate motors, including BE20, BR20, R20, BM20, M20, H20, SMARTY, BH23, H23, BR21, R21, and H21, each with specific unlocking and locking mechanisms. The system integrates various components such as control units, radio receivers, remote controls, and photocells to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Important Technical Specifications
The manual includes a "TABLE OF TAG DATA" for recording specific motor details, which are found inside the release hatch. Key data points include:
- P.CODE: Product code (e.g., BE20/200 v.3)
- V: Voltage (e.g., 230AC)
- Hz: Frequency (e.g., 50)
- IP: Ingress Protection rating (e.g., 43)
- W: Power (e.g., 200)
- N: Force (e.g., 2500)
- LOTTO/BC: Batch/production code (e.g., QD14)
- IN: Current (e.g., 0001)
- PM: Production month and year (e.g., APR 2015)
- MADE IN ITALY: Country of manufacture
The "Force test measurements" section highlights critical safety parameters:
- Dynamic force (IMPACT): Maximum 1400 N
- Static force (CRUSHING): Maximum 400 N, with a recommended operating range of 150 N to 25 N.
- Impact duration: 0.75 s for static force, 5 s for dynamic force.
These measurements are crucial for certification in compliance with the EC Directive, ensuring forces exerted by the automatic gate remain within permitted values.
The manual also lists various products installed, categorized by motor type (BRUSHLESS, R20, M20, H20, SMARTY, H23, R23, BR21, R21, H21), control units (ROGER, OTHER COMPANY), radio receivers and remote controls (SYNUS/2, T80/TX2, E80/TX52R/2, E80/TX54R/2, E80/TX2R/RC, E80/TX4R/RC, M80/TX44R, H93/RX22A/I, H93/RX2RC/I, H93/RX20/1, R93/RX12A/I, R93/RX2RC/U, R93/RX20/U), photocells (R90/F2ES, R90/F4ES, G90/F2ES, G90/F2ESI, G90/F4ES, G90/F4ESI, G90/F2ES/TRIX/TX, G90/F2ES/TRIX/RX, G90/F4ES/TRIX/TX, G90/F4ES/TRIX/RX, M90/F2ES, M90/F4ES, M90/F2ESO, M90/F4ESO, T90/F2S, T90/F4S), and accessories (R85/60ES, H85/TDS/E, H85/TTD/E, FIFTHY/24, R92/LED230, R91/ANI/LR1, CFT500, TRIX50, CRA50).
Usage Features
The swing gates are designed for user-friendly operation, primarily through remote controls and other control devices. The manual emphasizes safety, instructing users to keep children away from the gate's area of action and out of reach of control devices. It also advises against tampering with settings and attempting to stop the gate manually while it is moving. The unlocking instructions detail how to manually open the gate in case of power failure or malfunction, which typically involves using a key to disengage the motor. This process varies slightly depending on the specific gate series (BE20/BR20/R20, BM20/M20/H20/SMARTY, BH23/H23, R23, BR21/R21, H21).
Maintenance Features
The manual outlines both user and installer-level maintenance to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the swing gates.
Periodical maintenance by user (monthly checks recommended):
- Clean photocell lenses with a soft, damp cloth.
- Clean guide rails to remove obstructions.
- Trim any plants encroaching on photocell areas or gate movement paths.
- Release the motorized door or gate (as per unlocking instructions).
- Lubricate pins, hinges, and other moving parts.
- Check the functioning of sensitive edges.
Periodical maintenance by installer (every 3 to 12 months recommended):
- Disconnect from mains electricity and unlock the gate.
- Check all parts for wear, deterioration, and corrosion, replacing any inadequate components.
- Check the condition and tightness of all fastener screws.
- Clean the guide rails, rack, and pinion of the gear motor.
- Lightly lubricate the rack and pinion.
- Manually check that the gate slides smoothly.
- Lock the gate and reconnect to mains electricity.
- Check all control devices, safety devices, and limit switches.
- Check the force settings.
The manual includes a "Maintenance log" (sections 9 and 10) for recording corrective actions and monthly checks, ensuring a documented history of maintenance. This log covers details such as the date of work, description of work, replacement of parts (yes/no), reason for replacement, and material replaced. Monthly checks include verifying photocell operation (opening and closing), cleaning photocells, eliminating vegetation, releasing the motor, lubricating moving parts, and checking sensitive edges.
Environmental requisites are also highlighted, instructing users to disconnect from mains electricity before removing electronic components and batteries, and to dispose of used materials and packaging according to local regulations, delivering them to specialized differentiated refuse collection centers. This commitment to proper disposal helps prevent harm to the environment and human health.
