Before installation, ensure that the gate frame conforms to current standards, particularly:
- The gate sliding rail must be straight and horizontal and the wheels must be able to support the weight of the gate.
- The gate should be able to be moved easily, manually, over its entire travel and there should be no sign of excessive side
sway.
- The upper guide should allow the gate exact clearance to ensure regular, silent movement.
- End stops must be installed on the ground at both the opening and closing ends.
- The position in which the motorisation mechanism will be fitted must allow for safe and easy manual release.
If the checked components do not meet the conditions set out above, they must be repaired or, if necessary, replaced.
The selected safety accessories for the installation must comply with the current standards and regulations in force in the country
in which the product is being installed.
Ensure that there are no danger zones (risk of crushing, cutting, trapping) between the gate and the surrounding fixed elements
caused by the opening movement of the gate.
On a barred gate, if the bars are more than 40 mm apart, install an appropriate safety device to prevent cutting.Maintain a clear
area of 500 mm behind the gate when it is completely open.
Watch the gate while it is moving.
Place the fixed control devices and remote controls out of the reach of children.
Any switch without a locking device must be installed in direct view of the gate and away from any mobile parts. The minimum
height at which it must be installed is 1.5 m. It must not be accessible to the public.
During installation of the motor:
- Remove any jewellery (bracelets, chains, etc.).
- For drilling and welding operations, wear special glasses and sufficient protection.
- Use the appropriate tools.
- Do not connect to the mains or to a backup battery before installation is complete.
- Be careful when handling the motorisation system to prevent any risk of injury.
In order to operate, the motor must be supplied with 230 V 50 Hz. The electric line should:
- solely be used for the motor,
- have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm²,
- be fitted with an approved all-pole switch with contact openings of at least 3.5 mm, fitted with a protection device (fuse or
circuit breaker with a 16 A rating) and a differential device (30 mA),
- be installed in accordance with the current electrical safety standards.
It is recommended that the installation be fitted with a lightning conductor (in compliance with standard NF C 61740, maximum
residual voltage 2 kV).
Regularly check the condition of the gate. Gates in poor condition must be repaired, reinforced or even replaced. Check that the
various motorisation components' screws and fittings are correctly tightened.
Before carrying out work on the installation, switch off the power supply.
