MAINTENANCE AND DIAGNOSIS OF FAILURES
1
MAINTENANCE
Before
carrying
out
operation, disconnect the device from the
power supply.
1 Frequently check the installation in order to discover
any imbalance or sign of deterioration or wear. Do
not use the device if any repair or adjustment is
necessary.

FAILURE DIAGNOSIS
Problem
The actuator does not make any
movement when the opening or
closing controls are activated
When activating the opening or
closing devices, the actuator is
activated but the gate does not
move
The gate moves in an irregular
manner
The gate cannot completely close
(or open)
3
SCRAP
The actuator, up until the end of its useful life, must
be dismounted at its location by an installer who is
as well qualified as the person who completed the
assembly, observing the same precautions and
safety measures. In this manner we will avoid
possible accidents and damage to adjacent facilities.

SPARE PARTS
If the actuator needs repairing, go to an
authorised assistance centre or manufacturer;
never try to repair it yourself.

maintenance
Cause
Absence of system power supply
voltage
Defective electrical installation
Defective control panel or control
devices
Gate obstructed or blocked
The angle formed by the two
sections of the articulated arm is
too big or too small
G a t e p a r t i a l l y o b s t r u c t e d o r
blocked
The photocell detects an obstacle
The resistance of the gate has
increased when closing (or when
opening)
The force of the actuator during
closing (or opening) is too low
The ends of travel of the actuator
are maladjusted
2 Clean and lubricate the articulations of the gate and
the articulated arm, so as not to increase the effort
of the actuator.
3 Check that the controls and photocells, as well as
their installation, have not suffered any damage
from the weather or external agents.
Solution
Re-establish the power supply
Check that the installation does
not present any short-circuits or
cut-off points
Check these elements, seeing their
respective manuals
Unblock, adjust and lubricate the
gate articulations

indicated in the "Fig. 3 Example of
assembly position of the actuator"
Unblock, adjust and lubricate the
gate joints
Remove the obstacle and try again
Check the moving parts of the gate
and remove the resistance
Increase the closing or opening
force using the control panel
programme.
Adjust the camshafts of the ends of
travel
}
The actuator must be deposited in the appropriate
containers for subsequent recycling, separating and
classifying the different materials in line with their
nature. NEVER deposit it in domestic rubbish or in
landfills which are not controlled, as this will cause
environmental damage.
Use only original spare parts.
