Cut power to the system using the differential switch upstream
of the system.
Insert the key into the release device and turn it clockwise until it stops,
.

8. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

9. MAINTENANCE

To ensure a correct operation and a constant safety level over time
perform, every six months, a general check of the system paying special
attention to the safety devices. The booklet "User's guide" contains a form
for the registration of the maintenance operations.
Every maintenance job or inspection performed by the operator
must only occur after having cut power to the system and
with the rod in vertical position.
For the correct operation of the barrier, we recommend you to periodically
replace the spring and the balancing springs. The table below shows the
spring life according to the type of automated system and spring used:
Spring type RAINBOW 324 C RAINBOW 524 C RAINBOW 724 C
Strong spring
500.000 cycles
Soft spring
In applications with a double spring also replace the tie rod adjustment
Fig. 20 ref .
To remove the spring or the balancing spring in complete safety, operate
as follows:
Cut power to the system.
Prepare the operator for manual operation; move the rod into vertical
position and lock the operator again making sure that it cannot be
moved manually.
Remove the upper cover and the panel.
Now you can remove the balancing springs.
If you need to remove the rod for maintenance operations, you need to
perform the following:
Remove the balancing springs as described before.
Prepare the operator for manual operation and move the rod into

11.4. FORK SUPPORT
It prevents the rod, when closed, from bending and splitting due to
external stresses.
It allows the rod to rest when closed thus preventing any bending.
The use of the fork support does not imply any adaptation of the
balancing spring.
For the positioning of support refer to the dimensions shown in
11.5. PHOTOCELL SUPPORT
photocells aligned with the rod.
