When adjustment has been completed, carry out the saving
procedure onto the control card (see K206MA instructions),
checking the correct position of the bar from the second auto-
matic operation (the first is used by the control unit to accept
the new stops); repeat the procedure as required.
When all the mechanical and electronic installation is complete, fix
the cabinet cover, reposition the door and lock.
3.9_ Electrical connections
All devices, supply included, must be installed up to standard and
in compliance with the regulations in force. Separate the power
cables from the control cables, above all if the paths are long (over
50m). As to the cable section (aerial excluded), TAU recommends:
supply 1.5mm², other cables 0.5mm², follow anyway IEC 364 and
the installation regulations in force in your country. To access the
control card, remove the cabinet cover (1 pic. # 9) after removing
the locking screws and washers. It is then possible to reach the
connections.
Note: internal connections are already made and tested. The
supply, external photocell, LEDs and any remote controls
must be connected and the card must be programmed.
3.10_ Last operations
When the correct operation of all devices controlling the bar has
been checked, make sure everything is reset before handing over
to the users.
Place signs warning people about the barrier where they can be
easily read.
4_ USE
The barrier has been exclusively designed to limit the flow of vehi-
cles and/or persons in restricted entrances by means of a bar. In
the event of blackout, functioning can be guaranteed by means of
an optional 12V dry battery.
Furthermore, it also comprises electrical equipment and therefore
must be approached and used with caution and foresight. In par-
ticular we recommend:
• not to touch the equipment with wet hands and/or bare or wet
feet;
• not to perform the automatic or semiautomatic function in the
presence of known or suspected malfunctions;
• not to pull the cable to disconnect the equipment;
• not to let children, or those unable, use the cabinet keys or
controls (including remote controls) even if only to play with;
• not to operate the barrier until it is completely in view;
• not to enter within the operating range while it is moving, wait
for it to stop;
• not to rest against the bar or cabinet for any reason, even when
the barrier is inactive and do not remain within the operating
range of the barrier;
• not to let children or animal play within the operating range of
the barrier;
• not to use the barrier for purposes (e.g. lifting of weights or
persons) other than those foreseen. The manufacture holds no
responsibility what so ever for damages caused by the said ac-
tions;
• to perform periodic maintenance by specialised personnel;
• if there is a fault, turn off the power supply. Use the manual
manoeuvre only if safe. Do not attempt to resolve the problem
yourself, contact a qualified technician of the manufacturer or
authorised by the manufacturer. In any case, make sure that
the spare parts are original so that the safety of the barrier is
not compromised.
5_ MAINTENANCE
To be performed by specialised personnel only after having turned
off the power supply.
After every 100,000 manoeuvres, check:
- the greasing of the springs;
- the balance of the bar (see chapter "Bar fixing, spring fitting
and bar balancing");
- the efficiency of the force;
- the integrity of the battery, if present;
- The efficiency of the protection and safety devices;
- the wear on the mechanical stops and the adjustment of the
limit switches (see chapter "Limit switch adjustment").
The above mentioned maintenance is vital in order that the
product functions correctly throughout time.
In general
It must be impossible for third parties to operate the barrier during
maintenance; therefore turn off the mains power supply (and bat-
tery if present).
• Release the bar first in order to facilitate the operation.
Greasing
1_ open the cabinet door;
2_ grease the eyelets of the screws of the balancing springs (1
pic. # 10);
3_ grease the contact points between the cam of the manual re-
lease and the release lever (2 pic. # 10);
4_ keep away from possible moving gears or mechanical parts.
FREQUENCY: every 100,000 manoeuvres or 6 months, fail-
ing which the guarantee lapses.
Bar balancing
Check the bar is balanced correctly repeating the operations de-
scribed in "Bar fixing, spring fitting and bar balancing". This op-
eration is fundamental for the correct functioning and duration of
the barrier. If necessary, increase the preloading of the springs in
order to compensate for its wear. See the subsequent paragraph
"Extraordinary maintenance and repairs" in the event the springs
need to be changed.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the force limitation efficiency
Check the correspondence between the true operation and the op-
eration established during installation.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the 12V dc battery
Check the charge level of the battery by means of a tester. If re-
placement is necessary, substitute the flat battery with an original
and do not dispose of it in the environment.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the remaining protection and safety devices
Photocells: they can trigger both in opening as well as in closing;
check the dip-switch programming. Clean the outer casing.
Check that the following specifications are respected:
• The flashing light is working and visible;
• The adhesive danger sign on the door is well attached and vis-
ible;
• The adhesive danger sign on the back of the barrier is well
attached and visible. If these signs do not correspond to the
stated conditions, restore their original effectiveness or, if this
is impossible, replace them.
FREQUENCY: every 6 months, failing which the guarantee
lapses.
6_ EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
ATTENTION: ON COMPLETION OF THE FIRST 2000 MANOEU-
VRES, THE ROD BALANCING PROCEDURE MUST BE CAR-
RIED OUT AGAIN.
If a complicated repair or replacement of electromechanical parts
is necessary, the unit in question (control unit, gearmotor unit)
should be removed in order for the repair to be carried out by the
manufacturer or by authorised technicians. Otherwise, the safety
and reliability of the barrier may be reduced (such as the guarantee
for example).
If the barrier is used in a saline environment or an en-
vironment that is highly contaminated by corrosive
chemical reactants, the frequency of the maintenance
controls must be increased due to the increased envi-
ronmental deterioration; In this case the external metal
cabinet should also be inspected.
