• Before installation, check that the guided part is in good mechanical condition,
and that it opens and closes correctly. • The product cannot be used to automate
any guided part that includes a pedestrian gate, unless it can only be enabled when
the pedestrian gate is secured. • Make sure that nobody can become trapped
between the guided and fi xed parts, when the guided part is set in motion. If you
are automating a pedestrian gate that moves horizontally, this can be achieved if the
corresponding distance is less than 8 mm. However, the distances indicated below
are suffi cient to avoid trapping the corresponding body parts:
- fi ngers, more than 25 mm;
- feet, more than 50 mm;
- head, more than 300 mm;
- for the entire body, more than 500 mm.
If you cannot achieve these distances, you will need to take suitable safety
precautions. • All fi xed controls must be clearly visible after installation, in a position
that allows the guided part to be directly visible, but far away from moving parts. In
the case of a hold-to-run control, this must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5
m from the ground and must not be accessible to the public. • Where operated with
a hold-to-run control, install a STOP button to disconnect the main power supply
to the operator, to block movement of the guided part. • If not already present,
apply a permanent tag that describes how to use the manual release mechanism
close to it. • Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted and that the
safety and protection devices and the manual release are working properly. • Before
handing over to the fi nal user, check that the system complies with the harmonised
standards and the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/
EC). • Any residual risks must be indicated clearly with proper signage affi xed in
visible areas, and explained to end users. • Put the machine's ID plate in a visible
place when the installation is complete. • If the power supply cable is damaged, it
must be immediately replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorised technical
assistance centre, or in any case, by qualifi ed staff , to prevent any risk.
