General safety instructions

Introduction
• This product is only intended to be used for the purpose it was designed. Any
other use is therefore improper and dangerous. La CAME Cancelli Automatici
S.p.A. is not liable for any damage due to improper, erroneous and unreaso-
nable use • Keep these warnings together with the installation and users'
manual for the automation system.
Before installing
(check what's there: if the outcome is negative, refrain from continuing until
you are compliant with safety standard)
Check that the part being automated is in proper working order, that it is ba-
lanced and aligned, and that it opens smoothly. Make sure you have suitable
mechanical stops. If the operator will be installed less than 2.5 m from the
fl oor or from any other access level, check whether you need additional pro-
tections and/ or warnings. With pedestrian doors framed into the doors that
will be automated, a system must be in place to block their opening during
movement. Make sure the opening of the automated door leaf does not cause
any trapping situations involving any surrounding fi xed parts. Do not install the
operator upside down or on any elements that may bend. If necessary, add
suitable reinforcements at the fastening points. Do not fi t onto door leafs that
are installed on a slope, only on level ground. Check that any watering devices
cannot wet the gearmotor from the bottom upwards.
Installation
Properly demarcate the entire site to prevent any unwanted access by unau-
thorised personnel to the working area, especially children and minors. Be
careful when handling operators that weigh more than 20 kg (see installation
manual). If needed, use specifi c safety moving equipment. All opening com-
mands (buttons, key switches, magnetic card readers, etc.) must be installed
at least 1.85 M from the gate's area of movement, or so that they are unrea-
chable from the outside. Also, the direct commands (button or touch) must be
installed at least 1.5 m high and not reachable by the public. All "maintained
action" commands must be placed where the moving door leaves and transit
areas are completely visible. If missing, affi x a permanent tag showing the
position of the release device. Before delivering to the end user, check that the
operator complies with Standard EN 12456 (impact testing), making sure the
operator is properly set and adjusted and that all safety and protection devices
and manual release work properly. Affi x the Warning Signs in places that are
clearly visible, where necessary (such as the gate tag).
Instructions and special recommendations for users
Keep gate-operating are free of any obstacles. Keep the photocells' range of
operation free of vegetation. Do not allow children to play with the fi xed com-
mand devices, or in the area of operation of the gate. Keep the remote control
devices (transmitters) away from children. Check the system frequently, for
any anomalies and signs of wear and tear or damage to the mobile structures,
the component parts of the operator, all fastening points and devices, the cable
and any accessible connections. Keep any jointed parts like hinges lubricated
and clean of debris and the guide-sleds free of any friction. Perform functional
checks to the photocells and sensitive edges every six months. Ensure proper
cleaning of the glass on the photocells (use a slightly damp cloth); do not use
solvents or other chemical products). If repairs or changes to the system set-
tings become necessary, release the operator do not use it until all safety con-
ditions are restored. Cut the main power supply before releasing the operator
to perform manual openings. Check the instructions. It is FORBIDDEN for users
to perform ANY OPERATIONS THAT ARE NOT EXPRESSLY REQUESTED OF SAID
USERS in the manuals. For repairs, changes to the settings and extra-ordinary
maintenance, CALL FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. Enter any interventions in
the periodic maintenance log.
Special instructions and recommendations for everyone
