WARNING!

Important instructions for the safety of people:

READ CAREFULLY!

Foreword

• Use of the products must be restricted to its intended use
(i.e. that for which it was expressly built for). Any other use is
to be 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 automated system.

Before installing

(preliminary check: in case of a negative

outcome, do not proceed before having

complied with the safety obligations)

• Make sure that the parts you intend to automate are in
good working order, and that they are properly balanced
and aligned. Also, 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 gate leaves, fi tted with pedestrian entrances,
onto which you will install an operator, must have a blocking
mechanism when the gate is in motion • Make sure that the
opening of the automated gate 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 gates on
either an upward or downward slope (i.e. that are not on fl at,
level ground) • Check that any lawn watering devices will not
wet the gearmotor from the bottom up.

Installation

• Carefully section off the entire site to prevent unauthorised
access, especially by minors and children • Be careful when
handling operators that weigh more than 20 Kg (see installa­tion manual). In such cases, employ proper weight handling
safety equipment • All opening commands (e.g. buttons, key
selectors, magnetic detectors, etc.) must be installed at least

1.85 m from the gate’s area of operation perimeter - or where
they cannot be reached from the outside of the gate. Also,
the direct commands (e.g. push button, or proximity devices,
etc.) must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m and must
not be accessible to the public • All ‘maintained action’ 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 client, verify 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 Sings (e.g. gate plate).

Special instructions and

advice for users

• Keep the gate’s area of operation clean and clear of any
obstacles. Trim any vegetation that may interfere with the
photocells • 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) away from the chil­dren as well • 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. Keep glass
panels constantly clean (use a slightly water-moistened cloth;
do not use solvents or any other chemical products) • If the
system requires repairs or modifi cations, release the operator
and do not use it until safety conditions have been restored

• Cut off the power supply before releasing the operator for
manual openings. See instructions • Users are FORBIDDEN
to carry out ANY ACTIONS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN
EXPRESSLY ASKED TO DO OR SO INDICATED in the manu­als. Any repairs, modifi cations to the settings and extraor­dinary maintenance MUST BE DONE BY THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE STAFF • 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 ‘maintained action’ 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 performing maintenance.

current standards and regulations. The following figure illustrates the minimum equipment needed by the installer.

5.2 Tools and materials

5 Installation

Before installing, do the following:

• Make sure you have a suitable omnipolar cut-off device with contacts more than 3 mm apart, and independent (sectioned off) power
supply;

• Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the electrical cables to pass through and be protected against mechanical
damage;

• Fit tubing to drain away any water leaks which may cause oxidation;

• Make sure that any connections inside the case (that provide continuance to the protective circuit) be fitted with extra insulation as
compared to the other conductive parts inside;

• Make sure the structure of the gate is sturdy, the hinges work and that there is no friction between moving and non-moving parts;

• Make sure there is a mechanical stop for opening and closing.

Installation must be carried out by expert qualified personnel and in full compliance with current regulations.
