6. MANUAL OPERATION
If the barrier has to be moved manually due to a power failure or
malfunction of the automated system, use the release device as
follows:
• cut power to the system with the master-switch.
• open the door on the upright with the supplied coded key.
• fit the special key, located inside the upright, in the release
hole (fig. 16, ref.1) and turn it anti-clockwise for a few turns until
you reach the mechanical stop limit.
Attention:
The mechanical stop consists of a spring pin (fig.17 ref.1) that
must not be overpassed to prevent jeopardizing the operation
of the release device.
When the system has been released, the beam could remain in
its initial position. Therefore, the beam must be moved in both
directions until the release system is felt to trip.
• open or close the beam manually.
7. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an involuntary pulse from activating the barrier during
the manoeuvre, cut power to the system before restoring normal
operation.
• open the rear hood of the upright with the supplied coded
key.
• fit the special key, located inside the upright, in the release
hole (fig.18, ref.A) and turn it clockwise for a few turns until you
reach the mechanical stop limit.
• move the beam manually until the mechanical release is felt
to uncouple.
• turn the key clockwise again to release the system.
Attention: There is a round edge on the release key, which must
rest on the shaft (fig. 18 ref.B). When this position is reached,
stop turning the release key to avoid jeopardising the efficiency
of the system.
• close the rear hood of the upright.
8. AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
SKIRT KIT
The skirt kit increases visibility of the beam.
Available length: 2/3 metres.
Attention: If a skirt kit is installed, the balancing spring must be
adapted.
ARTICULATION KIT
The articulation kit makes it possible to articulate the rigid beam
to a maximum ceiling heights of 3 m.
Attention: If an articulated kit is installed, the balancing spring
must be adapted.
Fig.17
END FOOT
The end foot allows the beam to rest when closing and thus
prevents the profile bending downward.
Attention: If a foot is installed, the balancing spring must be
readjusted.
