This product must only be used for its specifically intended purpose. Any other use is dangerous. Came
s.P.A. is not liable for any damage caused by improper, wrongful and unreasonable use. • This ma-
nual's product is defined by machinery directive 2006/42/CE as "partly-completed machinery". Part-
ly-completed machinery is a set that almost constitutes a machine, but which, alone, cannot ensure a
clearly defined application. Partly-completed machinery is only destined to be incorporated or assem-
bled to other machinery or other partly-completed machinery or apparatuses to build machinery that
is regulated by Directive 2006/42/CE. The final installation must be compliant with European directive
2006/42/CE and current European reference standards. Given these considerations, all procedures
stated in this manual must be exclusively performed by expert, qualified staff • The manufacturer decli-
nes any liability for using non-original products; which would result in warranty loss • Keep this manual
inside the technical folder along with the manuals of all the other devices used for your automation
system • Check that the operator's specified temperature range suits the locations where it will be in-
stalled • laying the cables, installation and testing must follow state-of-the-art procedures as dictated
by regulations • If the power-supply cable is damaged, replace it immediately through the manufactu-
rer or an authorized technical assistance center, or qualified staff, to prevent any risk • Make sure the
mains power supply is disconnected during all installation procedures • The operator cannot be used
with gates fitted with pedestrian gates, unless its operation can be activated only when the pedestrian
gate is in safety position • Make sure that people are not entrapped between the gate's moving and
fixed parts due to the gate's movement • Before installing the operator, check that the gate is in proper
mechanical condition, that it is properly balanced and that it properly closes: if any of these conditions
are not met, do not continue before having met all safety requirements • Make sure the gate is stable
and the carriage function properly and are well-greased, and that it opens and closes smoothly • The
guide rail must be well-fastened to the ground, entirely above the surface and free of any impediments
to the gate's movement. • The rails of the upper guide must not cause any friction • Make sure that
opening and closing limiters are fitted • Make sure the operator is installed onto a sturdy surface that is
protected from any collisions • Make sure that mechanical stops are already installed. • If the operator
is installed lower than 2.5 from the ground or from any other access level, fit protections and signs to
prevent hazardous situations • Do not fit the operator upside down or onto elements that could yield
under its weight If necessary, add reinforcements to the fastening points • do not install onto tilted
gate leaves • check that no lawn watering devices spray the operator with water from the bottom up
• Any residual risks must be indicated clearly with proper signage affixed in visible areas. All of which
must be explained to end users. • Suitably section off and demarcate the entire installation site to
prevent unauthorized persons from entering the area, especially minors and children • Affix cautionary
signs, such as, the gate plate, wherever needed and in plain sight. • Use proper protections to prevent
mechanical hazards when people are loitering around the machinery's range of action, for example,
to prevent finger crushing between the rack and pinion • The electrical cables must run through the
cable glands and must not touch any heated parts, such as the motor, transformer, and so on) • Make
sure you have set up a suitable dual pole cut off device along the power supply that is compliant with
the installation rules. It should completely cut off the power supply according to category III surcharge
conditions • All opening controls must be installed at least 1.85 m from the perimeter of the gate's
working area, or where they cannot be reached from outside the gate •
