GENERAL ADVICE
-
Install a gate safety system that complies with current
regulation.
-
Choose short routes for cables and keep power cables separate
from control ones.
-
Earth the geared motor properly.
-
Please refer to current regulations when setting the geared
motor's maximum torque.
-
We advise you to install an outdoor switch, in compliance with
European standards on the issue of safety, turn the electricity
off when servicing the gate.
-
Check that each single device installed is efficient and
effective.
-
Affix easily readable signs, warning about the presence of a
motorized gate.
USE
SPEED 2, 5 and 8 geared motors have been designed to move
horizontally sliding gates with leaves weighing max. 400Kg (for
SPEED 2), 500kg. (for SPEED 5) and 800Kg (for SPEED 8).
It is absolutely forbidden to use the device for any other
purposes or under circumstances different from those
mentioned.
The electronic unit installed (which must have a built in electric
friction) normally permits you to select the following functions:
automatic: a command pulse will open and shut the gate;
semi-automatic: a command pulse will open or shut the gate;
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually
by activating the "manual release" device. Mod. SPEED 2 can
be powered by a buffer battery and is able to perform at least 15
complete cycles (open and close) on its own.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should
therefore be used with care. In particular:
•
do not touch with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
•
disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the gearmotor;
•
do not pull the plug out by its cable;
•
do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cool;
•
only operate the gate when it is completely visible;
•
do not approach the gate while it is moving;
•
do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
•
do not allow children or disabled people to use the remote
control or other operating devices;
•
carry out routine maintenance;
•
in the case of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only
move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so. Do not touch
the gate and call in an authorised technician.
WARNING:
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN TO WASH THE
AUTOMATION USING WATER jETS OR SIMILAR
EQUIPMENT. IT IS SEVERELY PROHIBITED TO
SPRAY WATER ON THE AUTOMATION.
MAINTENANCE
The geared motors in the SPEED 2-8 need very little maintenance.
However the gate itself must be in good conditions if they are to
work properly, hence we shall describe briefly what you need to do
to keep your gate efficient at all times.
ATTENTION: no one, except the person who services the
equipment (who must be a specialised technician), should
be able to command the automatism during servicing.
Consequently, it is advisable to turn the electricity off at the mains
also to avoid possible electric shocks. If the electricity has to be on
for certain checks, check or disable all command devices (remote
controls, push button panels, etc.) except for the device being used
by the maintenance person.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out when
necessary and always every 6 months for domestic use (approx.
3000 work cycles) and every 2 months for intensive use such as
blocks of flats (always 3000 work cycles).
Gate
- Lubricate the gate's sliding wheels with an oiler.
- Check that the rack is clean and securely fitted in place.
Automation unit
- check the proper working order of the safety devices (photoelectri
cells, pneumatic edge, etc...) accordingto the manufacturer's
instructions.
Extraordinary maintenance or breaks
If there are any complex jobs that need doing on electromechanical
parts, it is advisable to remove the relative part so that the repairs
can be carried out in the workshop by parent company technicians
or their authorised technicians.
