MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Caution! – All maintenance work on this system must be carried out
by qualified technical personnel, in full compliance with the safety
standards provided for by the laws in force and the safety instruc-
tions specified in STEP 1 - "General safety warnings and precau-
tions", found at the beginning of this manual.
Note – If the system features other devices which are not mentioned in
this manual, please see the respective maintenance schedules for the
instructions to follow.
Assuming the automation in question is put to normal household use, we
recommend a regular system check-up every 6 months; if the automa-
tion is put to particularly frequent use, or the leaf moves at high speeds,
the check-up should be carried out upon completion of a certain cycle
of manoeuvres.
To calculate this number of manoeuvres, please refer to the estimated
durability parameter (see "Product's technical characteristics"); the main-
tenance must be carried out every time 10% of total number of the
manoeuvre cycles set for this parameter is reached; for example, if the
total durability is 100,000 manoeuvre cycles, the work must be carried out
every 10,000 cycles.
The following checks and replacements must be performed at the inter-
vals scheduled for maintenance:
A. Disconnect all electric power sources (including buffer batteries).
B. Check all the equipment comprising the automation for wear and
tear; then check the moving parts to asses their degree of wear,
looking out for any erosion or oxidation on structural parts too. If nec-
essary, replace the parts which do not offer sufficient guarantees.
C. Make sure the product is securely anchored to the fastening sur-
face and that the fastening nuts are well tightened.
D. Grease the worm screw and the towing carriage.
E. Check the manual manoeuvre release mechanism is in good
working order; the force required to operate the release mechanism
must not exceed 220 N.
F. Reconnect the electric power sources and carry out the following
checks in the order in which they are given
1 Using the transmitter, perform a few trial gate opening and closing
manoeuvres, making sure the leaf moves as envisaged (Note – when
you restore the electricity, the first manoeuvre activated will be per-
formed by the automation at low speed, regardless of the type of
speed set).
It is worthwhile running a series of tests in order to evaluate the
smoothness of the gate's motion and to check for assembly flaws, mis-
adjustment, and the presence of any friction points.
2 Check, one by one, that all the safety devices featured in the system
(photocells, sensitive edges, etc.) work properly. Photocells: set off the
device during an opening or closing manoeuvre and check that the
control unit stops the manoeuvre and reverses the movement com-
pletely (the lamp flashes twice, stops, and then repeats the two flash-
es). Sensitive edges: set off the device during an opening or closing
manoeuvre and check that the control unit stops the manoeuvre and
reverses the movement for a short while (the lamp flashes four times,
stops, and then repeats the four flashes).
3 Check that there are no interferences between the photocells and the
other devices by proceeding as outlined below: break up the optical
axis linking the pair of photocells (fig. 56) by moving a cylinder (diame-
ter: 5 cm, length: 30 cm) in front of the TX photocell first of all, then near
the RX, and finally between the two. Next, make sure the device is trig-
gered in all eventualities, by switching from the active status to the
alarm status, and back again; last of all, check that this causes the
action envisaged in the control unit (e.g. in the closing manoeuvre, it
should result in inversion of movement).
4 After positioning an obstacle along the gate's closing trajectory, activate
a closing manoeuvre and check that the automatism reverses the move-
ment as soon as the gate touches the obstacle (safety manoeuvre).
Caution! – For the obstacle, use a 50 cm long piece of wood,
which is wide enough to be hit by the leaf. Position the obstacle as
shown in fig. 57.

MAINTENANCE REGISTER
Important – Before passing this maintenance register on to the owner of
the automatism, make sure all the gaps are filled in with the information
required.
This register must contain a list of all the maintenance activities, repair work
and alterations to the automatism. The register must be updated every
time work is carried out and must be stored carefully so that it is available
for any inspections that may be required by the relative authorities.
This Maintenance Register is issued for the following automatism:
model: .............................,
serial n ................................,
installation date .............................,
installation location ...................................................................................
.................................................................................................................
