1 General safety precautions
THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED TO GUARANTEE THE SAFETY OF THE PERSONS
This installation manual is intended for qualified personnel only.
Failure to observe the information included in this manual may result in personal in serious personal injury or
damage to the equipment.
MOX MOTION GATES cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury due to improper use or any use other than
the intended usage indicated in this manual.
The installation, electrical connections and adjustments must be performed by qualified personnel, in accordance
with best practices and in compliance with applicable regulations.
Read the instructions carefully before installing the product.
Incorrect installation may pose risks.
Before installing the product, make sure it is in perfect condition: In case of doubts, do not use the product and refer
exclusively to professionally qualified personnel.
Do not install the product in explosive environment and atmosphere: inflammable gas or vapours constitute serious
danger for safety.
Before installing the motor, make all structural modifications related to the safety precautions and to the protection or
segregation of areas involving crushing, shearing, dragging risks or any other risks.
WARNING: check that the existing structure fulfils the required resistance and stability specifications.
MOX MOTION GATES is not liable for failure to observe the good practices in the construction of fixtures to be
motorised or for deformations that may occur during use.
The safety devices (photocells, sensing edges, emergency stops, etc.) must be installed taking into consideration
the following: the regulations and directives in force, the good practices criteria, the installation environment, the
operating logic of the system and the forces generated by the motorised door or gate.
The safety devices must protect any areas where there is crushing, shearing, dragging or any other danger in general
generated by the motorised door or gate; the installer is advised to check that the moving wings do not have sharp
edges or anything that may pose shearing and/or dragging risks.
Ensure that entrapment between the guided part and surrounding fixed parts due to the opening movement of the
guided part is avoided.
If it is deemed necessary based on the risk analysis, install sensing edges on the mobile part.
It should be noted that, as provided by the UNI EN 12635 standard, all requirements of the EN 12604 and EN 12453
standards must be fulfilled and, if necessary, also checked.
The European standards EN 12453 and EN 12445 define the minimum safety requirements for the operation of
automatic doors and gates. In particular, these standards require the use of force limiting and safety devices (sensing
ground plates, photocell barriers, hold-to-run operation, etc.) intended to detect persons or objects in the operating
area and prevent collisions in all circumstances.
The installer is required to measure impact forces and select on the control unit the appropriate speed and torque
values to ensure that the door or gate remains within the limits defined by the standards EN 12453 and EN 12445.
MOX MOTION GATES cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury caused by the installation of incompatible
components which compromise the safety and correct operation of the device.
If the hold-to-run function is active, the installer will have the obligation to check the maximum stop distance or the
alternative use of the rubber deformable edge, the closing speed or the gate and in general all aspects indicated by
the applicable regulations. Moreover, please not that if the command means is fixed, it must be located in a position
guaranteeing the automation system control and operation and the command type and the use type must comply with
the UNI EN 12453 standard, prospectus 1 (with the following restrictions: type A or B command or type 1 or 2 use).
In case of hold-to-run operation, remove any potential persons away from the range of action of the automation
system's moving parts; the direct commands must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m and must not be
accessible to the public; moreover, unless the device is key operated, they must be located with a direct view to the
motorised part and far from the moving parts.
Apply the signs indicated by the regulations in force for the identification of the dangerous areas.
Each installed device must have a visible indication of the motorised door or gate identification data, in accordance
with the EN 13241-1:2001 standard or subsequent revisions.
A switch or an omnipolar cut-off switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm must be installed on the mains
power line; put the cut-off switch in OFF position and disconnect any buffer batteries before performing any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
Ensure that an adequate residual current circuit breaker with a 0.03 A threshold and a suitable overcurrent cut-out
are installed upstream the electrical installation in accordance with best practices and in compliance with applicable
legislation.
When requested, connect the automation to an effective earthing system that complies with current safety standards.
The electronic parts must be handled using anti-static conductive wrist straps with grounding wire.
Only use original spare parts when repairing or replacing products.
