ENGLISH
Thank you for buying this product, our company is sure that you will be more
than satisfied with the product's performance. The product is supplied with a
"Warnings" leaflet and an "Instruction booklet". These should both be read
carefully as they provide important information about safety, installation,
operation and maintenance. This product complies with the recognised
technical standards and safety regulations. We declare that this product is
in conformity with the following European Directives: 2004/108/EEC and
2006/95/EEC (and subsequent amendments).

1) GENERAL OUTLINE

The ICARO actuator offers ample installation versatility, thanks to the extre-
mely low position of the pinion, the compactness of the actuator and to the
height and depth which can be very easily adjusted. It is equipped with an
antisquash electronic device, which ensures utmost safety. The emergency
manual release can be activated very easily by means of a knob featuring
a personalised key.
The gate stop is controlled by electromechanical end-of-stroke microswitches
or, for very cold areas, by proximity sensors.
The control board can be built-in or installed onto a separate cabinet.
2) SAFETY
If correctly installed and used, this automation device satisfies the required
safety level standards. However, it is advisable to observe some practical
rules in order to avoid accidental problems.
Before using the automation device, carefully read the operation instructions
and keep them for future reference.
• Keep adults, children and property out of range of the automated system,
especially while it is operating and when the motor is being used in dead-
man mode (button with retainer).
• Activation of the release system could cause uncontrollable gate movements
in the case where any unbalance or mechanical faults are present.
• Keep children, persons and things outside the automation working area,
particularly during operation.
• Keep radio control or other control devices out of children's reach, in order
to avoid any unintentional automation activation.
• Do not intentionally oppose the leaf movement.
• Do not attempt to open the gate by hand, if the actuator has not been
released by means of the appropriate release knob.
• Do not modify the automation components.
• In case of malfunction, disconnect the power supply, activate the emer-
gency release to gain access to the actuator and request the assistance
of a qualified technician (installer).
• Before proceeding to any external cleaning operation, disconnect the
mains powers supply.
• Keep the photocell optical components and luminous signal indication
devices clean. Check that the safety devices (photocells) are not obscured
by branches or shrubs.
• For any direct assistance to the automation system, request the assistance
of a qualified technician (installer).
• Have qualified personnel check the automation system once a year.

3) MANUAL RELEASE

The manual or emergency release should only be activated when the gate
has to be opened manually or whenever the automation is not correctly or
totally functioning.
To carry out the emergency manoeuvre, proceed as follows:
• Insert the personalised key into the lock and turn it anticlockwise by 90°.
• Turn the release knob clockwise (fig. 1) as far as it will go. The pinion will
therefore become idle and the gate can then be opened manually.
• Push the leaf of the gate all the way down to the end-of-stroke.
Warning: do not push the gate leaf roughly, but move it gently all along its
stroke.
The key can be removed from the lock only after the knob has been moved
back to its initial position (motor-driven operation)
• To re-activate motor-driven control, turn the knob anticlockwise as far as it
will go. Move the key back to its closing position, remove it and then store
it in a safe place, which is known to anyone who may need the knob.
4) MAINTENANCE AND DEMOLITION
The maintenance of the system should only be carried out by qualified
personnel regularly. The materials making up the set and its packing must
be disposed of according to the regulations in force.
Inspect the installation frequently to check that there are no signs of wear
or damage to the springs or supports. If any maintenance work is deemed
necessary, do not use the operator.
Check the system frequently, especially cables, springs or supports, to detect

any loss of balance and signs of wear or damage.

release to allow access, and request the assistance of a qualified technician
(installer).
