ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL LIMIT SWITCHES
Mechanical limit switches have to be adjusted once the motors have been connected to the control
unit and located in the final position. Screw the apposite screws when the leaf is on position.
GENERAL ADVICE
Install a gate’s safety system that complies with current regulations. Choose short routes for cables
and keep power cables separate from control ones. Install the control card in a waterproof box.
Please refer to current regulations when setting the gear motor’s maximum torque.
We advice you to install an outdoor switch, in compliance with European standards on the issue of
safety, to turn the electricity off when servicing the gate.
Check that each single installed device is efficient and effective.
Affix easily readable signs warning about the presence of a motorized gate.
USE
It is absolutely forbidden to use the device for any other purposes. The installed electronic unit (which
must have built-in electric friction), allows to select the following functions:
automatic: one control impulse will open or close the gate;
semi-automatic: one control impulse will open or close the gate.
In case of blackout, act on the manual unlocking device and move manually the gate. Remember that
this is an automatic device powered by electricity, consequently use with care. In particular,
remember:
- not to touch the device with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
- to turn off electricity before opening the control box and/or actuator;
- not to pull the lead to pull the plug out;
- to put the gate in movement only when it is completely visible;
- to keep out of the gate’s range of action if it is moving. Wait until it has stopped;
- not to let children or animals play near the gate;
- not to let children use the remote control or other operating devices;
- to carry out routine maintenance;
- in case of failure, to turn off electricity and operate the gate manually only if it is possible and
safe. Refrain from touching the gate and call an authorized technician.
