BFT LUX Instructions D'utilisation Et D'installation page 11

The adjustment is made by two valves marked "close" and "open" which
control the pushing force during closing and opening respectively.
By turning the valves towards "+", the force is increased, while by turning
them towards "-" it is reduced.
To ensure an adequate antisquash safety, the pushing force must be adjusted
to just over the push needed to move the leaf, both in closing and opening.
In any event, the pushing force at the end of the leaf, must not exceed the
limits prescribed by the regulations indicated above. For no reason should
the adjustment valves (bypass) be fully closed.
The actuator does not have electric limit switches. Therefore the motors
stop when the working time set in the control unit has expired. The time set
must be increased by 2-5 sec.'s with respect to the time in which the leaves
reach the ground gate stops.
11) MANUAL OPENING
11.1) Versions with hydraulic lock
In case of emergency, for example during a power cut, the gate can be
released by inserting the same key "C" used to adjust the bypass valve
into the triangular pivot "P" found under the actuator (fig. 21) and turning it
anti-clockwise. The gate can then be opened manually following the same
speed as an automatic opening.
To restore the actuator to electrical operation, turn the key clockwise until
pivot "P" is locked.
11.2) Versions without hydraulic lock
It is sufficient to open the electric lock with its key and move the
leaf manually.
12) COVER POSITIONS
The "C" cover of all LUX models can be changed from right to left by inverting
the position of the cap "T" (fig. 23).
To fit the bypass guard (fig. 24), place it in position and insert it under the
rod cover "C".
13) CHECKING THE AUTOMATION
Before considering the automation completely operational, the following
checks must be made with great care:
• Check that all the components are firmly anchored.
• Control that all the safety means work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic
skirt, etc.).
• Check the emergency manoeuvre control.
• Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.
• Check the control unit's electronic logic in normal (or customised) ope-
ration.
• Remove the bleeder screw.
14) USE OF THE AUTOMATION
Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start
button, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist.
Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation.
15) THE CONTROLS
The controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled,
limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation
characteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult the
specific instruction booklets.
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and con-
trols.
16) MAINTENANCE
All maintenance on the controller must be performed with the system's
power supply shut off.
• Check periodically for oil leaks. To top-up the oil proceed as follows:
a) Screw in the bleeder screw (fig. 20) and remove the controller from the gate.
b) Push the rod right back.
c) Set the controller upright and unscrew the cap O (fig. 18).
d) Use the same type of oil to top up the level until the motor bearing under
the cap "O" is covered.
e) Close the cap "O" and mount the controller back onto the gate.
f) Remove the bleeder screw.
g) Run through 2 complete manoeuvres collecting the excess oil from the
bleeder.
• Check the safety elements on the gate and drive unit.
• For any malfunction that remains unsolved, shut off the power to the system
and call a qualified specialist (the installer). During a breakdown, use the
manual release to allow the gate to be opened and closed by hand.
INSTALLATION MANUAL
17) TROUBLE SHOOTING
17.1) Faulty operation of the gearmotor
• Use a suitable instrument to check if there is a voltage across the gear-
motor terminals when an open or close command has been given
• If the motor vibrates but does not turn, this may be due to:
• the common wire C is wrongly connected (it is always light blue)
• the drive capacitor is not connected to the two drive terminals
• if the leaf moves in the wrong direction, invert the drive connections of the
motor in the control unit LEAF STOP: when the operating time set in the
control unit is too short, the leaves may not have time to complete their
stroke. Slightly raise the operating time in the control unit.
17.2) Faulty operation of the electrical accessories
If any of the control and safety components are faulty, this can cause mal-
functions or a breakdown of the whole automation.
If the control unit is equipped with a self-diagnostics system, identify the
fault.
In case of a fault, it is wise to disconnect each of the components in the
automation one at a time, until the one that is causing the fault is found.
After having repaired or replaced it, restore all the components that
were disconnected. For details on each component, refer to its specific
instruction manual.
WARNING: Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified
specialist. When carrying out maintenance operations, the area around the
gate should be well marked and barred in order to prevent accidents to
people, animals and objects.
WARNINGS:
Trouble-free operation of the controller can only be guaranteed if the data
given in this manual is respected.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by the failure to respect
safety rules, installation recommendations and instructions given in this
manual.
18) SCRAPPING
Warning: This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations.
In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular
risks or danger. In case of recovered materials, these should be sorted out
by type (electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
19) DISMANTLING
Warning: This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
When the automation system is disassembled to be reassembled on another
site, proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the power supply and the entire external electrical instal
lation.
• In the case where some of the components cannot be removed or are
damaged, they must be replaced.
The descriptions and illustrations contained in the present manual are
not binding. The Company reserves the right to make any alterations
deemed appropriate for the technical, manufacturing and commercial
improvement of the product, while leaving the essential product fea-
tures unchanged, at any time and without undertaking to update the
