GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

GB
This installation manual is intended for professionally
competent personnel only.
Installation, electrical connections and adjustments must be
performed in accordance with Good Working Methods and in
compliance with the present standards.
Read the instructions carefully before installing the product.
Bad installation could be dangerous. The packaging materials
(plastic, polystyrene, etc.) should not be discarded in the envi-
ronment or left within reach of children, as these are a potential
source of danger. Before installing the product, make sure it is
in perfect condition.
Do not install the product in an explosive environment and at-
mosphere: the presence of flammable gas or fumes represents
a serious safety hazard. Before installing the motorisation devi-
ce, make all the necessary structural modifications in order to
create safety clearance and to guard or isolate all the crushing,
shearing, trapping and general danger areas.
Make sure the existing structure is up to standard in terms of
strength and stability. The motor manufacturer is not responsi-
ble for failure to observe Good Working Methods in building the
frames to be motorised or for any deformation occurring during
use. The safety devices (photocells, safety edges, emergency
stops, etc.) must be installed taking into account: applicable
laws and directives, Good Working Methods, installation pre-
mises, system operating logic and the forces developed by
the motorised door or gate. The safety devices must protect
against crushing, cutting, trapping and general danger areas of
the motorised door or gate. Display the signs required by law
to identify danger areas. Each installation must bear a visible
indication of the data identifying the motorised door or gate.
Before connecting the power supply, make sure the ra-
ting corresponds to that of the mains power supply.
An omnipolar switch must be installed on the mains power
supply with a contact opening equal to or greater than 3 mm.
Ensure that a differential switch and an adequate overcur-
rent protection is fitted before the system. When requested,
connect the motorised door or gate to an effective earthing
system carried out as indicated by current safety standards.
During installation, maintenance and repair operations, cut
off the power supply before opening the cover to access the
electrical parts.
The electronic parts must be handled using earthed anti-
static conductive arms.
The manufacturer of the motorisation declines all responsibility
in the event of component parts being fitted that are not com-
patible with the safe and correct operation.
Use original spare parts only for repairs or replacements of
products.
The installer must supply all information concerning the au-
tomatic, manual and emergency operation of the motorised
door or gate, and must provide the user with the operating
instructions.

MACHINERY DIRECTIVE

Pursuant to Machine Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who
motorises a door or gate has the same obligations as the ma-
nufacturer of machinery and as such must:
-
prepare the technical file which must contain the documents
indicated in Annex V of the Machinery Directive;
(The technical file must be kept and placed at the disposal
of competent national authorities for at least ten years from
the date of manufacture of the motorised door);
-
draw up the EC Declaration of Conformity in accordance
with Annex II-A of the Machine Directive;
-
affix the EC marking on the motorised door in accordance
with point 1.7.3 of Annex I of the Machine Directive.
For more information consult the "Technical Manual Guideli-
nes" available on Internet at the following address: www.ditec.it
APPLICATIONS
Service class: 3 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with
30÷60 cycles per day)
Applications: FREQUENT (for multiple family type entrances
or small apartment blocks with vehicle or frequent pedestrian
access).
-
Performance characteristics are to be understood as refer-
ring to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum
permissible weight). When used with the maximum permis-
sible weight a reduction in the above mentioned performan-
ce can be expected.
-
Service life, running times, and the number of consecu-
tive cycles are to be taken as merely indicative Having
been statistically determined under average operating
conditions, and are therefore not necessarily applicable to
specific conditions of use. During given time spans product
performance characteristics will be such as not to require
any special maintenance.
-
Each automatic entrance has variable elements such as:
friction, balancing and environmental factors, all of which
may substantially alter the performance characteristics of
the automatic entrance or curtail its working life or parts
thereof (including the automatic devices themselves). The
installer should adopt suitable safety conditions for each
particular installation.
