2. SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS This product is placed onto the market as “partly completed machin- ery”, therefore it cannot be commissioned until the machine in which Up indication. it will be incorporated has been identified and declared to conform to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC by the actual Manufacturer. Keep away from water and moisture.
- It is prohibited to install the automation system to create fire doors. GENIUS BLIZZARD 500-900 C series gear motors are designed to - It is prohibited to install the automation system in environments operate horizontal sliding gates for residential use (including in which represent an explosion or fire hazard: the presence of apartment complexes).

STEEL RACK WITH SPACERS TO BE SCREWED ON 1. Rest a rack section on the pinion (20). 2. Position the spacers in the upper par t of the slots ( 20-1): This will allow future adjustments if the rail is lowered. 3.
7. If necessary, use another section of rack; rest it on the pinion and connect it to the previous one and use a spirit level to check it is level (2 4). 8. Install the section, repeating the operations in points 4, 5, 6 and 7. 9.

Example of N.O. contacts connected in parallel negative for accessories. Default: indicator lamp (§ 7.4- 15-SP). Rapid connector for inserting the GENIUS 5-pin radio receiver (option- al accessory). Plug in the receiver only when the board is not powered. Example of N.C. contacts connected in series Rapid connector for inserting the encoder (optional accessory in some models).
6.2 PHOTOCELLS AND SAFETY DEVICES The maximum current on terminal 11 is 100 mA: if the consumption is greater, replace it with a negative pole for accessories supply and do not enable the Fs and SA functions in Advanced Programming. The contacts described in this paragraph are N.C.
7. START-UP During operation there is a risk of fingers and hands being trapped between the rack, pinion and casing. The body of the electric motor can reach high temperatures during operation. If the encoder is installed (42), make sure that it is connected to the board and activate the relative parameter in advanced programming (§...

Access Controls Check that the gate opens only when an authorised user is recognised. Complete Automation System Check that the automation system operates correctly, following the set logic, when using the various control devices. Check that the gate moves correctly - smooth, regular and without abnormal noise.
