––– STEP 2 –––
2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
The devices in this kit, plus other accessories (some optional and not
included in the pack), form the automation system named “WS2S”,
designed for the automation of a “residential” swing gate. Any other use
than as specified herein or in environmental conditions other than as
stated in this manual is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited!
The main part of the automation comprises an electromechanical gearmotor, fitted with a 24 V dc motor with helical teeth gear; it is fitted with a
mechanical key release which enables manual movement of the gate in
the event of a power failure. The gearmotor is equipped with a control unit
that manages operation of the entire automation. The control unit comprises a board and incorporated radio receiver which receives the com-
NOTES TO MANUAL
• This manual describes how to set up a complete and optimal
automation, such as that shown in fig. 1, using all Mhouse devices
that are part of the automation system named “WS2S”. Some of
these devices are optional and may not be present in the kit. For a
complete overview of the devices, refer to the MHouse product
catalogue.
• This manual has been drawn up as a step-by-step guide
. Therefore, to ensure safe and facilitated assembly and programming
procedures, perform all operations described in the same order as
specified in this document.
• CAUTION! - Never power up the motor before fully installed
on the column and leaf of the gate.
• During installation, handle the automation with care, avoiding the risk of
impact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid. Never place the
product near to sources of heat and never expose to naked flames. This
may damage product components and cause malfunctions, fire or hazardous situations. If this occurs, suspend installation immediately and
contact the MhouseTechnical Assistance.
• Never make modifications to any part of the product. Operations other
than as specified can only cause malfunctions. The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to the
product.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced exclusively by a
qualified technician, to avoid potential risks.
• Connect the control unit to an electric power line equipped with an
earthing system.
• This product is not designed to be used by persons (including children)
whose physical, sensorial or mental capacities are reduced, or with lack
of experience or skill, unless suitable instructions regarding use of the
product have been provided by a person responsible for safety.
• The key-operated selector switch must be positioned in sight of the
automation, but far from moving parts and at a height of at least 1.5 m
from the ground, not accessible by the public. If this is used in “hold-torun” mode, ensure that there are no persons in the vicinity of the
automation.
• In the vicinity of the automation children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with it.
• Ensure that there are not points of entrapment or crushing with fixed
parts when the gate leaf is in the maximum opening or closing position;
protect parts if necessary.
• The product may not be considered an efficient system of protection
against intrusion. If an efficient protection system is required, the
automation must be integrated with other safety devices.
• The automation must not be used before performing the commissioning
procedure as specified in the chapter “Testing and commissioning”.
• Check the automation frequently to ensure there is no imbalance, signs
of wear or damage to electrical or mechanical parts. Do not use the
automation if adjustments or repairs are necessary.
• In the event of long periods of disuse, to avoid the risk of leaks of harmful substances from the optional battery (PR1) disconnect it from the
automation and store in a dry location.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remote
control devices out of reach of children.
• The product’s packaging materials must be disposed of in full compliance with local regulations.
Operation warnings
• For cleaning the product surfaces, use a soft damp cloth. Use water
only; never use detergents or solvents for cleaning.

Safety warnings
• CAUTION! – This manual contains important instructions and
warnings for personal safety. Incorrect installation could cause seri-
ous physical injury. Carefully read all parts of this manual before starting
any work. If in doubt, suspend installation immediately and contact the
Mhouse Technical Assistance.
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep this manual in a safe
place to enable future product maintenance and disposal procedures.
• CAUTION! – According to the most recent European legislation,
the production of a power-operated door or gate must comply with
the standards envisaged in the Directive 2006/42/EC (Machinery
Directive) and in particular standards EN 12445; EN 12453; EN
12635 and EN 13241-1, which enable declaration of presumed
conformity of the automation. In consideration of this, all mains
connection, testing, commissioning and maintenance operations
must be performed exclusively by a qualified and skilled technician.
All preliminary set-up, installation and programming operations
may be performed by personnel with standard skills, provided
that all instructions and the relative sequences in this manual are
strictly observed, with particular reference to the warnings in this
STEP 1.
Installation warnings
While reading this manual, take care to observe all instructions
marked with the following symbol:
These symbols indicate subjects that may be the source of potential
hazards and therefore the prescribed operations must be performed
exclusively by qualified and skilled personnel, in observance of
these instructions current safety standards.
• Before installation, ensure that this product is suitable for automation of
your gate or door (see STEP 3 and chapter “Product Technical Specifications”). If not suitable, do NOT proceed with installation.
• On the system power mains install a device for disconnection (not supplied), to guarantee a gap between contacts and complete disconnection in the conditions of overvoltage category III.
• All installation and maintenance operations must be performed
with the automation disconnected from the power supply. If the
power disconnect device is not visible from the location of the automation, before work a notice should be affixed on the disconnect device,
with the text “CAUTION! MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS”.
