10 - INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE END USER

Key Automation S.r.l. produces systems for the automation of gates,
garage doors, automatic doors, roller blinds and car-park and road
barriers. However, Key Automation is not the manufacturer of your
complete automation system, which is the outcome of the analysis,
assessment, choice of materials and installation work of your chosen
installer. Every automation system is unique, and only your installer
has the experience and skill required to produce a safe, reliable, du-
rable system tailored to your needs, and above all that complies with
the relevant regulatory standards. Although your automation system
complies with the regulation safety level, this does not rule out the
presence of "residual risk", meaning the possibility that hazards may
occur, usually due to reckless or even incorrect use. We would the-
refore like to give you some advice for the correct use of the system:
• before using the automation system for the first time, have the in-
staller explain the potential causes of residual risks to you;
• keep the manual for future reference, and pass it on to any new
owner of the automation system;
• reckless use and misuse of the automation system may make it
dangerous: do not operate the automation system with people, ani-
mal or objects within its range of action;
• a properly designed automation system has a high level of safety,
since its sensor systems prevent it from moving with people or ob-
stacles present so that its operation is always predictable and safe.
However, as a precaution children should not be allowed to play clo-
se to the automation system, and to prevent involuntary activation,
remote controls must not be left within their reach;
• as soon as any system malfunction is noticed, disconnect the elec-
tricity supply and perform the manual release procedure. Never at-
tempt repairs on your own; call in your installation engineer. In the
meantime the door or gate can be operated without automation once
the geared motor has been released using the release key supplied
with the system. In the event of safety devices out of service arran-
ge for repairs to the automation immediately;
• in the event of malfunctions or power failures: while waiting for the
engineer to come (or for the power to be restored if your system is
not equipped with buffer batteries), the door or gate can be used just
like any non-automated installation. To do this, the manual release
procedure must be carried out;
• Manual movement and release: before carrying out this operation,
note that the release can only take place when the bar is stationary.

• Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation system needs
regular periodic maintenance to ensure its long life and total safety.
Arrange a periodic maintenance schedule with your installation engi-
neer. Key Automation recommends that maintenance checks should
be carried out every six months for normal domestic use, but this in-
terval may vary depending on the level of use. Any inspection, main-
tenance or repair work must only be carried out by qualified staff.
• Never modify the automation system or its programming and setup
parameters: this is the responsibility of your installation engineer.
• Testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be recorded by
the person who performs them and the documents must be conser-
ved by the system's owner.
The only service actions that may and should be regularly carried
out are cleaning of the photocell lenses and removal of any leaves
that could impair their function. To prevent someone from operating
the barrier, before cleaning remember to unlock it and use only a
cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe it.
• At the end of its useful life, the automation system must be disman-
tled by qualified personnel, and the materials must be recycled or
disposed of in compliance with the legislation locally in force.
• Activate the barrier control (with the remote control, with the key
selector, etc.); if everything is in order the barrier will open or close
normally, otherwise the flashing light will flash a few times and the
operation will not start.
With the safeties out of use, the automation must be repaired as
soon as possible.
If after some time your remote control seems to have become less
effective, or stops operating completely, the battery may be flat (de-
pending on the level of use, this may take from several months up
to more than a year). You will realise this because the transmission
confirmation light does not come on, or only lights up for a very short
time.
Batteries contain pollutants: do not dispose of them with normal wa-
ste but follow the methods specified by the local regulations.
