Operating Instructions; Machinery Directive - DITEC BOX Technical Manual

1.1 Operating instructions

Use: FREQUENT (for vehicle or pedestrian for single-family or multi-family with frequent use).
- Performance characteristics are to be understood as referring to the recommended weight (ap-
prox. 2/3 of maximum permissible weight). A reduction in performance is to be expected when
the access is made to operate at the maximum permissible weight.
- Service class, running times, and the number of consecutive 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.
- 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.

1.2 Machinery Directive

Pursuant to Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) the installer who motorizes a door or gate has the
same obligations as the manufacturer of machinery and as such must:
- prepare the technical file which must contain the documents indicated in Annex V of the Ma-
chinery 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 motorized door);
- draw up the EC Declaration of Conformity in accordance with Annex II-A of the Machinery Direc-
tive and deliver it to the customer;
- affix the EC marking on the motorized door in accordance with point 1.7.3 of Annex I of the
Machinery Directive.
