• Before installation, ensure that the installation location complies with the provisions of the current standards. In particular, the position in which the
motorisation mechanism will be fitted must allow for safe and easy manual release of the gate.
• 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.
• Do not install the product in an explosive environment.
• Maintain a clear area of 500 mm behind the gate when it is completely open.
installation
• 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.
• On a barred gate, if the bars are more than 40 mm apart, install an appropriate safety device to prevent cutting.
• Watch the gate while it is moving.
• Manual unlocking may result in uncontrolled movement of the gate leaf.
• 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.
