2.1 Destination use
DF safety sensitive edges are meant mainly for promiscuous use gate automation systems, for protection against crushing
and trapping hazards. Detection is through contact along the entire length of the edge, including its two ends, thanks to the
ENGLISH
new articulated lever system.
The DF sensitive edge should not be employed for any other purpose than its intended use, as specified above. Instal-
ling the device in a manner other than as indicated in the manual may hamper the device’s safety function.
This manual is intended only for the technical personnel qualified for the installation.
3 Standard followed
The following standards were complied with for this product: EN 12978, UNI EN 954-1, CEI EN 60335-1, UNI EN 12453.
4 Description
4.1 Sensitive edge
The sensitive edge is built in compliance with current safety standards, and it is certified (PR&S no. 04.363) for vertical
application.
The articulated lever mechanism is an exclusive CAME CANCELLI AUTOMATICI S.p.A. patent
The detection device is made up of a rubber profile, two rubber plugs, within which an articulated lever mechanism operates,
joined by a ø 1.3 mm steel cable. The entire device is supported by an aluminium profile.
The sensitive edge is supplied preassembled in the following lengths:
001DF15 - Mechanical contact rubber sensitive edge L = 1,5 m.
001DF17 - Mechanical contact rubber sensitive edge L = 1,7 m.
001DF20 - Mechanical contact rubber sensitive edge L = 2,0 m.
001DF25 - Mechanical contact rubber sensitive edge L = 2,5 m.
The following items in lengths up to 4 or 6 meters may be supplied for other needs:
001CMP - Sensitive rubber and aluminium profile.
001TMF – Set of mechanical contact mechanisms and plugs for sensitive profiles (4 m).
001TMF6 – Set of mechanical contact mechanisms and plugs for sensitive profiles (6 m).
001DFI - Plastic container with cable gland, and control card, which checks for any mechanical damage of electrical connections
between the sensitive edge and the electrical panel.
4.2 Connection specifications
ThePower supply must be SELV or PELV.
Circuits connected to DF and DFI devises must be protected against power surges, as in their contacts’ maximum capacity.

5 Installation
Warning: improper installation may cause serious damage. Follow all installation instructions.
5.1 Preliminary checks
It is necessary to verify that the sensitive edge’s fixing point is on a suitable surface prior to installation.
5.2 Tools and materials
Make sure all tools and materials necessary are within reach to install the edge in maximum safety, according to regulations in
ENGLISH
force. The following figure illustrates the minimum equipment for the installer.
5.3 Cable list
Prepare ducts and tubes suitable for the passage of electrical wiring so as to guarantee protection against mechanical damage. Type of cables recommended:
Connection Cable type and minimum section Maximum length allowed
A - Output contacts C - N.C. FROR (flexible) 2 x 0.5 mm
B - Output contacts C - N.C. - N.O. FROR (flexible) 3 x 0.5 mm
C - Output contacts C - N.C. + Power supply 12-24V FROR (flexible) 4 x 0.5 mm
*A longer cable may be used as long as the section is greater.
