GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

GB
This installation manual is intended for professionally
competent personnel only.
The installation, the electrical connections and the settings
must be completed in conformity with good workmanship and
with the laws in force. Read the instructions carefully before
beginning to install the product. Incorrect installation may be a
source of danger. Packaging materials (plastics, polystyrene,
etc) must not be allowed to litter the environment and must
be kept out of the reach of children for whom they may be a
source of danger. Before beginning the installation check that
the product is in perfect condition. Do not install the product in
explosive areas and atmospheres: the presence of flammable
gas or fumes represents a serious threat to safety.
Before installing the motorisation device, make all the structu-
ral modifications necessary in order to create safety clerance
and to guard or isolate all the compression, shearing, trapping
and general danger areas. Check that the existing structure
has the necessary strength and stability. The manufacturer
of the motorisation device is not responsible for the non-
observance of workmanship in the costruction of the frames to
be motorised , nor for deformations that may be occur during
use. The safety devices (photoelectric cells, mechanical ob-
struction sensor, emergency stop, etc) must be installed taking
into account: the provisions and the directives in force, good
workmanship criteria, the installation area, the funtional logic
of the system and the forces developed by the motorised door
or gate. The safety devices must protect against compression,
shearing, trapping and general danger areas of the motorized
door or gate. Display the signs required by law to identify dan-
ger areas. Each installation must bear a visible indication of the
data identifying the motorised door or gate.
Before connecting to the mains check that the rating is
correct for the destination power requirements.
A multipolar isolation switch with minimum contact gaps of 3
mm must be included in the mains supply.
Check that upstream of the electrical installation there is an
adequate differential switch and a suitable circuit breaker.
When requested, connect the motorized 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
antistatic conductive arms. The manufacturer of the
motorising device declines all responsability in cases where
components which are incompatible with the safe and cor-
rect operation of the product only original spare parts must
be used. For repairs or replacements of products only original
spare parts must be used. The fitter must supply all information
corcerning the automatic, the manual and emergency opera-
tion of the motorised door or gate, and must provide the user
the device with the operating instructions. It is recommended
that antistatic conductive earthed arm bands be worn when
manipulating electronic parts.

MACHINERY DIRECTIVE

Pursuant to Machine Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who mo-
torises a door or gate has the same obligations as a machine
manufacturer and shall:
- prepare technical documentation containing the documents
indicated on Schedule V of the Machine Directive;
ARC - IP1725
(The technical documentation shall be kept and placed at the
disposal of competent national authorities for at least ten years
starting on the date of manufacture of the motorised door);
- draw up the EC declaration of conformity according to Sche-
dule II-A of the Machine Directive;
- affix the CE mark on the motorised door pursuant to para.
1.7.3 of Schedule I of the Machine Directive.
For more details, refer to the "Guidelines for producing tech-
nical documentation" available on Internet at the following

APPLICATIONS
ARCB
Service life: 3 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 30÷60
cycles a day)
Applications: FREQUENT (For vehicle or pedestrian accesses
to town houses or small condominiums with frequent use).
ARCBH-ARC1BH
Service life: 4 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 100÷200
cycles a day).
Applications: INTENSIVE (For all special applications with
ongoing use such as toll gates and so on).
- Performance characteristics are to be understood as referring
to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum permis-
sible weight). A reduction in performance is to be expected
when the access is made to operate at the maximum permis-
sible weight.
- Service class, running times, and the number of consecutive
cycles are to be taken as merely indicative having been statisti-
cally determined under average operating conditions, and are
therefore not necessarily applicable to specific conditions of
use. During given time spans product performance characteris-
tics will be such as not to require any special maintenance.
- The actual performance characteristics of each automatic
access may be affected by independent variables such as
friction, balancing and environmental factors, all of which
may substantially alter the performance characteristics of the
automatic access or curtail its working life or parts thereof
(including the automatic devices themselves). When setting
up, specific local conditions must be duly borne in mind and
the installation adapted accordingly for ensuring maximum
durability and trouble-free operation.

DECLARATION BY THE MANUFACTURER

(Directive 98/37/EC, Annex II, sub B)
Manufacturer: DITEC S.p.A.
Address: via Mons. Banfi, 3
21042 Caronno Pertusella (VA) - ITALY
Herewith declares that the electromechanical automatic system
series ARC
- is intended to be incorpored into machinery or to be assem-
bled with other machinery to constitute machinery convered
by Directive 98/37/EC;
- is in conformity with the provisions of the following other EC
directives:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC;
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC;
and furthermore declares that it is not allowed to put the machi-
nery into service until the machinery into which it is to be incor-
porated or of which it is to be a component has been found and
declared to be in conformity with the provisions of Directive
98/37/EC and with national implementing legislation.
