GENERAL WARNINGS FOR PEOPLE SAFETY
INTRODUCTION

This operator is designed for a specic scope of applications as
indicated in this manual, including safety, control and signaling
accessories as minimum required with FADINI equipment. □
Any applications not explicitly included in this manual may
cause operation problems or damages to properties and
people. □ Meccanica Fadini snc is not liable for damages
caused by the incorrect use of the equipment, or for

English

applications not included in this manual or for malfunctioning
resulting from the use of materials or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer. □ The manufacturer
reserves the right to make changes to its products without
prior notice. □ All that is not explicitly indicated in this manual
is to be considered not allowed.

□ The installer must inform and instruct the end user about the
proper use of the system by releasing him a technical dossier,
including: layout and components of the installation, risk
analysis, verication of safety accessories, verication of
impact forces and reporting of residual risks.

INFORMATION FOR END-USERS

The end-user is required to read carefully and to receive
information concerning only the operation of the installation
so that he becomes himself responsible for the correct use of it.
□ The end-user shall establish a written maintenance contract
with the installer/maintenance technician (on -call). □ Any
maintenance operation must be done by qualied technicians.
□ Keep these instructions carefully.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before commencing operator installation assess the suitability
of the access, its general condition and the structure. □
To check that the ground is stable, to avoid subsequent settling
or deformation in the trac control post installation area. □
Make sure that there is no risk of impact, crushing, shearing,
conveying, cutting, entangling and lifting situations, which
may prejudice people safety. □ Do not install near any source of
heat and avoid contacts with ammable substances. □ Keep all
the accessories able to turn on the operator (transmitters,
proximity readers, key-switches, etc) out of the reach of the
children. □ Transit through the access only with stationary
operator. □ Do not allow children and/or people to stand in the
proximity of a working operator. □ To ensure safety in the
whole movement area of a bollard it is advisable to install
photocells, sensitive edges, magnetic loops and detectors. □
Use yellow-black strips or proper signals to identify dangerous
spots. □ Before cleaning and maintenance operations,
disconnect the appliance from the mains by switching o the
master switch. □ If removing the actuator, do not cut the
electric wires, but disconnect them from the terminal box by
loosening the screws inside the junction box.

INSTALLATION

All installation operations must be performed by a qualied
technician, in observance of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/CE and safety regulations EN 12453 - EN 12445. □
Verify the presence of a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker
0,03 A - 230 V - 50 Hz upstream the installation. □ Use
appropriate objects to test the correct functionality of the
safety accessories, such as photocells, sensitive edges, etc. □
Carry out a risk analysis by means of appropriate instruments
measuring the crushing and impact force of the main opening
and closing edge in compliance with EN 12445. □ Identify the
appropriate solution necessary to eliminate and reduce such
risks. □ In case where the gate to automate is equipped with a
pedestrian entrance, it is appropriate to prepare the system in
such a way to prohibit the operation of the engine when the
pedestrian entrance is used. □ Apply safety nameplates with CE
marking on the gate warning about the presence of an
automated installation.

WARNINGS FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE
INSTALLATION

For optimum performance of system over time according to
safety regulations, it is necessary to perform proper
maintenance and monitoring of the entire installation: the
automation, the electronic equipment and the cables
connected to these. □ The entire installation must be carried
out by qualied technical personnel, lling in the Maintenance
Manual indicated in the Safety Regulation Book (to be
requested or downloaded from the site
www.fadini.net/supporto/downloads).
□ Operator: maintenance inspection at least every 6 months,
while for the electronic equipment and safety systems an
inspection at least once every month is required. □ The
manufacturer, Meccanica Fadini snc, is not responsible for
non-observance of good installation practice and incorrect
maintenance of the installation.

DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS

Dispose properly of the packaging materials such as
cardboard, nylon, polystyrene etc. through specializing
companies (after verication of the regulations in force at the
place of installation in the eld of waste disposal). Disposal of
electrical and electronic materials: to remove and dispose
through specializing companies, as per Directive 2012/19/UE.
Disposal of substances hazardous for the environment is

INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED BEFORE INSTALLING THE OPERATOR

FOR OPTIMAL APPLICATION AND USE OF THE OPERATOR PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND CONSULT EXPLANATORY DIAGRAMS.

OVERVIEW

This product belongs to our range of retractable trac control posts. It is quick and easy to install, as it does not need to be
adjusted or calibrated and has been designed to regulate and prohibit vehicular access.
The oil-hydraulic bollards VIGILO 2250 (500 mm height, with or without LEDs), VIGILO 2263 (600 mm height, with or without

LEDs), VIGILO 2280 (800 mm height, with or without LEDs) are tted with posts made of rust-treated steel, 200 mm diameter;

bollards are also available in stainless steel AISI 304 version.
The product’s hallmark is its ease of installation: once the housing has been secured, the operator can be introduced ready for
operation, as soon as the wiring has been completed.
As soon as the retractable post receives a command (from a key switch or radio transmitter), it rises from its interred position.
The post is clearly visible at nighttime thanks to a reective strip and the possibility of connecting a ashing light or trac light.
Versions with led lights are also available to signal when the post is in the fully up position and when moving up or down.
Using the electronic microprocessor programmer, the operator can also be customised with presence indicator accessories
(magnetic coils, photocells).

PRELIMINARY OPENING OF ALL FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS

Start by removing the cover plate to reveal the operator and separate the individual components, with the aid of a hoist (Pic. 2):
this makes it easy to extract the internal piston and hydraulic main unit container unit.

IMPORTANT: TAKE CARE NOT TO TEAR OR CUT WIRES.

ELECTRICAL LAYOUT OF THE INSTALLATION

To check that the mains supply and voltage to the electric motor is 230 V at 50 Hz.
The power supply to the operator’s built-in motor must be made using electricity cables with a 1,5 mm² section for a maximum
distance of 50 metres. For distances of over 50 metres, use electric cables with sections suited to the installation.
