The sound pressure level of the motorisation is less than or
equal to 70 dB(A). The noise emitted by the structure to which
the motorisation will be connected is not taken into account.
WARNING
Any potential users must be shown how to use the mo-
torisation by the installer, applying all the recommen-
dations in this manual. It is essential to ensure that no
untrained persons are able to put the gate into motion.
The user must monitor the gate each time it moves and
keep people away from it until it is completely open or
closed.
Do not deliberately prevent the gate from moving.
If not operating correctly, disconnect the motorisation from
any power supply and unlock the motorisation immediately to
gain access to it.
Contact a motorisation and home automation professional
immediately.
DANGER
The motorisation must be disconnected from any power
supply during cleaning and maintenance and when parts
are replaced.
Do not try to open the gate manually if the motorisation has
not been unlocked.
WARNING
Manual unlocking may result in uncontrolled movement
of the gate.
Ensure that no natural obstacles (branches, stones, tall grass-
es, etc.) are able to obstruct the movement of the gate.
If the installation is equipped with photoelectric cells and/or
an orange light, regularly clean the photoelectric cell optical
units and the orange light.
Have the motorisation checked every year by a qualified tech-
nician.
WARNING
Every month, check:
• the installation, looking for any signs of wear or dam-
age to the cables and assembly.
• that the motorisation changes direction when the gate
encounters an object measuring 50 mm positioned
halfway up the leaf.
If this is not the case, contact a professional motorisation
and home automation installer immediately.
WARNING
Do not use the motorisation if it needs repairing or ad-
justing. Gates in poor condition must be repaired, rein-
forced or even replaced.
DANGER
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the installer, the a er-sales department or an individ-
ual with similar qualifications to prevent any danger.
