INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM USERS
CONGRATULATIONS on choosing a Tau product for your automation system!
Tau S.r.l. produces components for automatic gates, doors, barriers and shutters. These include gear motors, control units, radio control devices, fl ashing
lights, photocells and accessories.
Tau products are exclusively made with top quality materials and processes and, as a company, we constantly research and develop innovative solutions
in order to make our equipment increasingly easier to use. We also pay great attention to all details (technology, appearance and ergonomics). The
extensive Tau range makes it possible for your fi tter to choose the product which best meets your requirements.
Tau, however, does not produce your automated system as this is the outcome of a process of analysis, evaluation, choice of materials and installation
performed by your fi tter.
Each automated system is unique, therefore, and only your fi tter has the experience and professionalism required to create a system that is tailor-made
to your requirements, featuring long-term safety and reliability, and, above all, professionally installed and compliant with current regulations.
An automated system is handy to have as well as being a valid security system. Just a few, simple operations are required to ensure it lasts for years.
Even if your automated system satisfi es regulatory safety standards, this does not eliminate "residue risks", that is, the possibility of dangerous situations
being generated, usually due to irresponsible and/or incorrect use. For this reason we would like to give you some suggestions on how to avoid these
risks:
-
Before using the system for the fi rst time: ask your fi tter to explain how residue risks can arise and read the instructions and warnings in the user
handbook that your fi tter will have given you. Keep this manual for future use and, if you should ever sell your automated system, hand it over to the
new owner.
-
Your automated system carries out your commands to the letter: irresponsible and/or incorrect use may cause it to become dangerous. Do not
use the system if people, animals and/or objects enter its operating area.
-
IT IS NOT A TOY! Make sure children do not play near the system and keep the remote control device out of their reach.
-
Faults: If you notice any abnormal behaviour, disconnect the system from the power supply immediately and perform the manual release operation
(see fi gure). Do not attempt to repair the door but call in your fi tter: the system will operate manually as it did before installation.
-
Maintenance: to ensure long life and totally safe operation, the system required routine maintenance, just like any other piece of machinery.
Establish maintenance times together with your fi tter. Tau recommends a frequency of 6 months for normal domestic installations but this may vary
depending on the intensity of use (always every 3000 work cycles).
N.B.: All controls, maintenance work and/or repairs may only be carried out by qualifi ed personnel.
-
Do not modify the plant or the relative programming and adjustment parameters: your fi tter will see to that.
N.B. Final testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be documented by the fi tter (in the relative spaces) and such documents kept
by the owner of the system (IF THE DOCUMENTS ARE NOT PRODUCED, THE WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE).
-
Disposal: At the end of system life, make sure that it is demolished by qualifi ed personnel and that the materials are recycled or disposed of
according to local regulations.
Remove the plug, insert the box wrench into the gate lever and
turn in the indicated direction.
The manual manoeuvre must ONLY be done with the door stopped and AFTER disconnecting power from the electrical control unit.
N.B.: if your remote control unit (if supplied) starts working badly after a time, or does not work at all, the batteries may be fl at (they can last from
several months to 2/3 years depending on what type is used). This can be seen from the fact that the transmission confi rmation LED gets dimmer
or only turns on for brief moments. Before contacting your fi tter, try exchanging the battery with one from a good transmitter: if this is the reason
for the fault, simply replace the battery with another one of the same type.
If you wish to add a new automated system to your house, contact your fi tter and we at Tau to have the advice of a specialist, the most developed
products on the market, best operation and maximum automation compatibility.
Thank you for reading these suggestions and we trust you are fully satisfi ed with your new system: please contact your fi tter for any further
requirements.
