•
on installation, check the cut of the sheath, which must be clean to avoid blocking, before applying the cable terminal;
•
to avoid blocking, avoid right angles or acute when extending the cable to the handle;
•
grease all moving parts to ease the return of the cable;
•
from time to time, check that the mechanism is working correctly, if necessary act on the sheathing adjustment nuts.
8. REBALANCING THE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOOR
Once the garage door has been installed add counterweights until it is properly balanced. This guarantees minimum strain on the automa-
tion with all the benefits.
9. SOME GENERAL ADVICE
•
Integrate overhead garage door safety in compliance with current laws.
•
Choose short routes for cables and keep power and command cables separate.
•
Install the control card inside a waterproof box.
•
To calibrate maximum gearmotor torque follow the current regulations in force.
•
In accordance with European standards on the issue of safety, it is advisable to install a switch outside so you can switch the electricity off
if the door needs servicing.
•
Make sure that each single device installed is efficient and effective.
•
Affix signs that are easily readable warning people that they are near a motor-driven door.
10. USE
Gearmotors of the SPIN series have been designed to move overhead garage doors with a maximum surface of 7 m² (SPIN12 - SPIN12QR) and
10 m² (SPINF - SPINQRE).
It is categorically forbidden to use the equipment for any other use or under circumstances different from those mentionedherein.
The electronic unit (that must have the built-in electric clutch) normally makes it possible for you to choose from:
automatic: a command pulse will open and shut the door;
semiautomatic: a command pulse will open or shut the door.
If there is a blackout the overhead garage door will work for the models in the SPIN series powered by a buffer battery; to controlit manually
first operate the unlock mechanism.
Do not forget that this is an automatic, electrically driven device so please use it with caution. Most of all:
•
do not touch it with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
•
turn the electricity off before opening the control box and/or gearmotor;
•
do not pull the lead to pull the plug out;
•
do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cold;
•
only operate the door when it is completely visible;
•
keep out of the door 's range of action if it is moving:wait until it has stopped;
•
do not let children or animals play near the door;
•
do not let children,or incapable people, use the remote control or other operating devices;
•
carry out routine maintenance;
•
in the case of a failure, turn the electricity off and work the door manually only if it is possible and safe to do so. Refrain fromtouching the
door and call an authorised technician.
11. MAINTENANCE
The gearmotors in the SPIN series need very little maintenance. However,to ensure they always work properly the door has to be in good
condition: hence we shall describe briefly what you need to do to keep your overhead garage door efficient.
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 (and disconnect the battery if present)
also to avoid possible electric shocks. If the electricity has to be on for certain checks, check or disable all command devices (remote con-
trols, push button panels, etc.) except for the device being used by the maintenance man.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out every 6 months
Overhead garage door
•
Lubricate the hinges, telescopic arms and make sure the counterweights slide easily.
Automation system
•
check the safety devices work correctly (pneumatic edge, torque limiting device, release device, etc.). They must be effective in case of
danger and trip as specified during installation.
Extraordinary maintenance or breaks
If there are any complex jobs that need to be done on electromechanical parts, it is advisable to remove the relative part so that the repairs
can be carried out in the workshop by the manufacturer or its authorised technicians.
