Foreword

• This product should only be used for the purpose for which it was explicitly designed. Any other use is considered dangerous. CAME Cancelli Automatici S.p.A. is not liable for any damage resulting from improper, wrongful or unreasonable use • Keep these warnings with the installation and use manuals issued with the automation system.

Before installing

(preliminary check: in case of a negative outcome, do not proceed until you have complied with the safety requirements)

• Check that the part you intend to automate is in good mechanical condition, balanced and aligned, and that it opens and closes properly. Make sure that proper mechanical stops are already in place • If the operator will be installed at a height of less than 2.5 m from the ground or other access level, check whether you will need any protections and/ or warnings • Any leaves ﬁ tted with pedestrian entrances onto which you will install an operator must have a blocking mechanism when the leaf is in motion • Make sure that the opening of the automated leaf is not an entrapment hazard as regards any surrounding ﬁ xed parts • Do not mount the operator upside down or onto any elements that may fold under its weight. If needed, add suitable reinforcements at the points where it is secured • Do not install onto leaves not on level ground • Check that any lawn watering devices will not wet the operator from the bottom up.

Installation

• Carefully section o the entire site to prevent unauthorised access, especially by minors and children • Be careful when handling operators that weigh more than 20 kg. In case, procure the tools required for safe gate movement • All opening commands (buttons, key selectors, magnetic readers etc.) must be installed at least 1.85 m from the perimeter of the area of turnstile movement, or where they cannot be reached from outside through the turnstile. In addition, direct controls (button, touch sensitive keys, etc.) must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m and must not be accessible to the public • All ‘hold-to-run’ commands must be placed where the moving gate leaves, transit areas and driveways are completely visible • If missing, apply a permanent label that shows the position of the release mechanism • Before delivering to the user, check that the system is EN 12453 (impact test) standard compliant. Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted and that the safety and protection devices as well as the manual release are working properly • Where necessary and in plain sight, apply the Warning Signs (e.g. gate plate)

Special instructions and advice for users

• Keep the gate’s area of operation clean and clear of any obstacles. Check that there is no vegetation in the area of operation of the photocells and that there are no obstacles in the area of operation of the operator • Do not allow children to play with the ﬁ xed command devices, or in the gate’s area of operation. Keep any remote control devices (i.e. transmitters) or any control devices away from children as well, to prevent the operator from being activated accidentally •The operator is not designed to be used by persons (including children) whose physical, sensorial or mental capacities are limited, or who are lacking in experience or knowledge, unless said persons can be supervised or given instructions regarding using the operator by a person responsible for their safety • Frequently check the system, to see whether any anomalies or signs of wear and tear appear on the moving parts, on the component parts, on the securing points, on the cables and any accessible connections. Keep any joints (i.e. hinges) lubricated and clean, and do the same where friction may occur (i.e. slide rails) • Perform functional tests on photocells and sensitive edges every six months. To check that the photocells work, pass an object in front of them during closing. If the operator reverses the direction of movement or comes to a halt, the photocells work correctly. This is the only maintenance operation that must be carried out while the operator is live. Ensure that the glass on the photocells is kept clean (use a cloth slightly moistened with water; do not use solvents or any other chemicals as these could damage the devices) • If the system requires repairs or modiﬁ cations, release the operator and do not use it until safety conditions have been restored • Cut

o the power supply before releasing the operator for manual openings and before any other operation, to prevent dangerous situations. Read the instructions • If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or the technical assistance service or by a person with a similar qualiﬁ cation so as to prevent any risks • It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN for users to perform OPERATIONS THEY ARE NOT EXPLICITLY REQUIRED AND ASKED to do in the manuals. For repairs, adjustments and extraordinary maintenance, CONTACT THE SPECIALIST TECHNICAL SERVICE CENTRE • On the periodic maintenance log, note down the checks you have done.

Special instructions and advice for all

• Avoid working near the hinges or moving mechanical parts • Stay clear of the gate’s area of operation when in motion • Do not resist the direction of movement of the gate; this may present a safety hazard • At all times be extremely careful about dangerous points that must be indicated by proper pictograms and/or black and yellow stripes • When using a selector or command in ‘hold-to-run’ mode, keep checking that there are no people in the area of operation of the moving parts. Do this until you release the command • The gate may move at any time without warning • Always cut the power when cleaning or performing maintenance.

- Remove the cover from the gearmotor by loosening the side bolts, perforate the cable shafts using a screwdriver or a pair of scissors and position the gearmotor atop the plate. Careful! The electric cables must pass through the cable shafts.

- Lift the gearmotor from the securing plate by about 5 to 10mm by using the threaded steel-levelling feet to allow any later adjustments between the pinion and the rack.

- The following illustrations for the securing the rack, are just examples of applications. It is up to the installer to choose the best

solution. Releasing the gearmotor (see paragraph on manual release). Rest the rack on the gearmotor pinion. Weld or secure the rack to the gate along its entire length. To assemble the rack modules, use an excess piece of rack and place it under the joining point, then block it using two C-clamps. Note: if a rack is already in place, then just adjust the pinion-to-rack distance.
