Before using the automation system for the first time, allow the installer to
explain the origin of the residual risks and take a few minutes to read this
instruction manual and the warnings for the user which the installer has handed
you. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference and hand it over to
any new owner of the automation system.
IMPORTANT! – Your automation system is a machine which per-
forms the commands you send it; improper and careless use could
make it become dangerous:
– Do not operate the movement of the automation system if people, ani-
mals or objects lie in its range of action.
– It is strictly forbidden to touch parts of the automation system while the
gate or door are in motion!
– The photocells are not a safety device but one that is auxiliary to safety.
They are built with high reliability technology but they may, under
extreme circumstances, malfunction or indeed fail and, in some cases,
the failure may not immediately be visible. For these reasons, please
observe the following warnings when using the automation system:
- Transit is only permitted if the gate or door is completely open and with
the leaves at a standstill
- IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to transit while the gate or door is closing!
- Ensure the photocells are working properly on a regular basis.
• Children: an automation system guarantees a high level of safety; indeed,
thanks to its detection systems, it controls and guarantees movement in the
presence of people or objects. It is however prudent to forbid children from
touching or playing near the automation system and not to leave remote con-
trols within their reach to avoid involuntary activation: it is not a game!
• The product is not intended for use by persons, including children, with limit-
ed physical, sensory or mental capacities, or who lack experience or knowl-
edge, unless supervised or trained in the use of the product by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Faults: if an operating fault is detected in the automation system, cut off the
electricity supply to the automation system and release the gearmotor manual-
ly (see respective instruction manual) to operate the gate manually. Do not per-
form any repair work but contact your regular installer for assistance.
• Do not change the system or the programming and adjustment parame-
ters of the control unit: this lies within the area of responsibility of your
installer.
• Breakage or lack of power supply: while waiting for your installer to call
by or for the power supply to be re-established, if the system is not equipped
with a back-up battery, the automation system can still be used: simply perform
the manual release of the gearmotor (see the respective instruction manual) and
move the gate leaf manually as required.
• Safety devices out of order: the automation system can still work when a
safety device doesn't work properly or is out of order. The gate can be con-
trolled in "push to run" mode as follows:
01. Send a command to operate the gate, using a transmitter or key selector,
etc. If everything is working properly, the gate will move normally, other-
wise proceed as follows:
02. Within 3 seconds, send the command again and keep it activated;
03. After approximately 2 seconds, the gate will perform the manoeuvre re -
quested in "push to run" mode; i.e. the gate will continue to move only for
as long as the command is activated.
N.B.! – If the safety devices are out of order, we recommend you have
them repaired as soon as possible by qualified experts.
• The testing, routine maintenance and any repair work must be documented
by the person who carries out the work; the documents must be kept by the
owner of the system. The only operations that the user can perform regularly
are the cleaning of the glass covers of the photocells (use a slightly damp soft
cloth) and the removal of any leaves or pebbles which could hamper the
automation system. Important – Before going ahead, to prevent someone from
being able to activate the gate inadvertently, release the gearmotor manually
(see the respective instruction manual).
• Maintenance: in order to keep the safety level constant and to guarantee
the maximum life span of the entire automation system, regular maintenance (at
least every 6 months) is vital. All control, maintenance or repair operations
must only be carried out by qualified experts.
• Disposal: at the end of the life span of the automation system, make sure
that it is dismantled by qualified experts and that the materials are disposed of
in accordance with the applicable local regulations.
Instructions and warnings for the user
• If the automation system was secured with the command "Secure
automation system": after a command is sent, the gate does not move and
the flashing light emits 9 brief flashes.
SECURING AND RELEASING THE GEARMOTOR MANUALLY
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the gate to
be opened and closed manually.
These manual operations are required in the event of power cuts and opera-
tional faults.
Note - When there is no electrical power, the gate can still be moved using
power from the back-up battery (mod. PS424), if included in your system.
Releasing (fig. A):
01. Raise the flap;
02. Insert the key into the release pin;
03. Turn the key by almost a full turn clockwise.
04. The gate leaf can now be moved manually into the required position.
Securing (fig. B):
Note – As an effect of the elasticity of the leaf, after it is released with the leaf
closed, it may not be possible to secure the leaf in the same position.
01. Turn the key anticlockwise in the release pin and move the gate leaf manu-
ally until you can hear the leaf engage mechanically with the drive mecha-
nism.
02. Remove the key from the pin and and replace the flap.
