INSTALLATION SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY
WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can cause damage to persons, animals or
property.
• Automation should be installed on a gate which is moving freely. Any issue with the smooth opening of closing of a
gate will not be corrected by adding automation.
• Scrap packing materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene etc) according to the provisions set out by current
standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene bags out of children's reach.

other use not specified in this documentation could damage the product and be dangerous.
• The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from improper use of the product, or use
which is different from that expected and specified in the present documentation.
• Do not install the product in explosive atmosphere.
• The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from failure to observe Good Technical
Practice when constructing closing structures (door, gates etc.), as well as from any deformation which might occur
during use.
• Follow and comply with national and/or local electrical codes when performing any electrical installation.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on the installation. Also disconnect any buffer
batteries, if fitted.
• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are needed to protect the area from any danger
caused by squashing, conveying and shearing, according to and in compliance with the applicable directives and
technical standards.
• It is recommended to position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where it can be easily seen
for additional safety
• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation safety and correct operation when other
manufacturer's components are used.
• Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
• Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorized In writing by the Company.
• Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the manual opening operation in case of
emergency.

CHECKING INSTALLATION
Before the automated device is finally put into operation, perform the following checks meticulously:
• Make sure all components are fastened securely.
• Check that all safety devices (photocells, pneumatic safety edge, etc.) are working properly.
• Check the emergency operation control device.
• Check opening and closing operations with the control devices applied.
• Check the electronic logic for normal (or personalized) operation in the control panel.
ADJUSTING OPERATING FORCE
WARNING: Operating force is adjusted with extreme precision by means of the control unit's electronic control.
Operation at the end of travel is adjusted electronically in the control panel. To provide good anti-crush safety, the
operating force must be slightly greater than that required to move the leaf both to close and to open it.
CONTROL
There are various options when it comes to the control system (manual, remote control, access control with
magnetic badge, etc.) depending on the installation's needs and characteristics. See the relevant instructions for
the various control system options. People due to use the automated device must be instructed how to control and
use it.
