    BL 4x 6.6. ADJUSTING THE ANALOGUE POSITION SENSOR (AS1620 LOGIC) Like the inductive sensors, described in the previous paragraph, the analogue sensor makes it possible to manage the opening and closing movements of the arm. Due to its design, this type of sensor allows a much finer management of the arm movements, allowing precise accelerations and decelerations.

  • Page 44: Prolonged Stop/Disposal/Destruction

    BL 4x 7.7. PROLONGED STOP/DISPOSAL/DESTRUCTION If the equipment is not going to be used for a long period, it is recommended to: • Store it in the same conditions as before the installation ( Chap. 5.1, page 12). • Leave it connected to the main supply. As the motor is permanently energized, a certain temperature is maintained inside the bodywork, which reduces the problems of condensation and prevents the oil of the speed-reduction gear from solidifying, which would mean not being able to reproduce the performance of the barrier during the first operations following a long shutdown.
