1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
CAUTION – to ensure personal safety it is important
to follow these instructions and keep them for future
reference.
Read the instructions carefully before proceeding with installation.
The design and manufacture of the devices making
up the product and the information in this manual are
compliant with current safety standards. However,
incorrect installation or programming may cause se-
rious injury to those working on or using the system.
Compliance with the instructions provided here when
installing the product is therefore extremely impor-
tant.
If in any doubt regarding installation, do not proceed and contact the
Key Automation Technical Service for clarifications.
Under European legislation, an automatic door or
gate system must comply with the standards envisa-
ged in the Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive)
and in particular standards EN 12445; EN 12453; EN
12635 and EN 13241-1, which enable declaration of
presumed conformity of the automation system.
Therefore, final connection of the automation system to the electri-
cal mains, system testing, commissioning and routine maintenance
must be performed by skilled, qualified personnel, in observance of
the instructions in the "Testing and commissioning the automation
system" section.
The aforesaid personnel are also responsible for the tests required
to verify the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and
for ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards and regu-
lations, with particular reference to all requirements of the EN 12445
standard which establishes the test methods for testing door and
gate automation systems.
WARNING - Before starting installation, perform the
following checks and assessments:
ensure that every device used to set up the automation system is
suited to the intended system overall. For this purpose, pay special
attention to the data provided in the "Technical specifications" sec-
tion. Do not proceed with installation if any one of these devices is
not suitable for its intended purpose;
check that the devices in the kit are sufficient to guarantee system
safety and functionality;
perform a risk assessment, including a list of the essential safety
requirements as envisaged in Annex I of the Machinery Directive,
specifying the solutions adopted. The risk assessment is one of the
documents included in the automation system's technical file. This
must be compiled by a professional installer.
Considering the risk situations that may arise during
installation phases and use of the product, the auto-
mation system must be installed in compliance with
the following safety precautions:
never make any modifications to part of the automation system
other than those specified in this manual. Operations of this type
can only lead to malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability
for damage caused by unauthorised modifications to products.
do not allow parts of the automation system to be immersed in water
or other liquids. During installation ensure that no liquids are able to
enter the various devices;
should this occur, disconnect the power supply immediately and
contact a Key Automation Service Centre. Use of the automation
system in these conditions may cause hazards;
never place automation system components near to sources of heat
or expose them to naked flames. This may damage system compo-
nents and cause malfunctions, fire or hazards.
All operations requiring opening of the protective housings of va-
rious automation system components must be performed with the
control unit disconnected from the power supply. If the disconnect
device is not in a visible location, affix a notice stating: "MAINTE-
NANCE IN PROGRESS";
all devices must be connected to an electric power line equipped
with an earthing system.
The product cannot be considered to provide effective protection
against intrusion. If effective protection is required, the automation
system must be combined with other devices;
the product may not be used until the automation system "commis-
sioning" procedure has been performed as specified in the "Auto-
mation system testing and commissioning" section.
The system power supply line must include a circuit breaker device
with a contact gap allowing complete disconnection in the condi-
tions specified by class III overvoltage;
use unions with IP55 or higher protection when connecting hoses,
pipes or raceways;
the electrical system upstream of the automation system must com-
ply with the relevant regulations and be constructed to good wor-
kmanship standards;
users are advised to install an emergency stop button close to the
automation system (connected to the control PCB STOP input) to
allow the gate or door to be stopped immediate in case of danger;
this device product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacities, or
with lack of experience or skill, unless a person responsible for their
safety provides surveillance or instruction in use of the device;
children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
equipment.
WARNING - The automation system component
packaging material must be disposed of in full obser-
vance of current local waste disposal legislation.
WARNING - The data and information in this manual
are subject to modification at any time, with no obli-
gation on the part of Key Automation S.r.l. to provide
notice.
