ATTENTION !
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - important safety
instructions. Follow the instructions since in-
correct installation can lead to severe inquiry!
Save these instructions.
Read the instructions carefully before proceeding
with installation.
The design and manufacture of the devices
making up the product and the information in
this manual are compliant with current safety
standards. However, incorrect installation or
programming may cause serious injury to tho-
se working on or using the system. Complian-
ce with the instructions provided here when

Service for clarifications.
According to European standards, the con-
struction of a motorized barrier must comply
with the provisions of Directive 2006/42/EC
(Machinery Directive) including the standards
EN 12445; EN 12453 and EN 13241-1, which en-
sure the conformity of the automation.
Therefore, final connection of the automation
system to the electrical mains, system testing,
commissioning and routine maintenance must be
performed by skilled, qualified personnel, in obser-
vance of the instructions in the "Testing and com-
missioning the automation system" section.
The aforesaid personnel are also responsible for
the tests required to verify the solutions adopted
according to the risks present, and for ensuring
observance of all legal provisions, standards and
regulations, with particular reference to all requi-
rements of the EN 12445 standard which establi-

ATTENTION !
Before starting installation, perform the fol-
lowing checks and assessments:
ensure that every device used to set up the au-
tomation system is suited to the intended system
overall. For this purpose, pay special attention to
the data provided in the "Technical specifications"
section. Do not proceed with installation if any one
of these devices is not suitable for its intended pur-
pose;
check that the devices purchased are sufficient to
guarantee system safety and functionality;
perform a risk assessment, including a list of the
essential safety requirements as envisaged in An-
nex VII of the Machinery Directive, specifying the
solutions adopted. The risk assessment is one
of the documents included in the automation sy-
stem's technical file. This must be compiled by a
professional installer.
Considering the risk situations that may arise
during installation phases and use of the pro-
duct, the automation system must be installed
in compliance with the following safety pre-
cautions:
never make modifications to any part of the auto-
mation system other than those specified in this
manual. Operations of this type can only lead to
malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liabi-
lity for damage caused by unauthorised modifica-
tions to products;
if the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer or its after-sales service, or in
all cases by a person with similar qualifications, to
prevent all risks;
do not allow parts of the automation system to be
immersed in water or other liquids. During instal-
lation ensure that no liquids are able to enter the
various devices;
should this occur, disconnect the power supply
immediately and contact a Key Automation Servi-
ce Centre. Use of the automation system in these
conditions may cause hazards;
never place automation system components near
to sources of heat or expose them to naked lights.
This may damage system components and cause
malfunctions, fire or hazards;
ATTENTION !
The drive shall be disconnected from its po-
wer source during cleaning, maintenance and
when replacing parts. If the disconnect device
is not in a visible location, affix a notice sta-
ting: "MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS":
connect all devices to an electric power line equip-
ped with an earthing system;
the product cannot be considered to provide effec-
tive protection against intrusion. If effective protec-
