Safety instructions

General

• These installation and operating instructions must be read, understood
and complied with by persons who install, use or perform maintenance
on the drive.

• Keep this installation and operating manual accessible at all times.

• Installation, connection and initial commissioning of the drive may only

be carried out by technically knowledgeable persons.

• Install the drive on correctly aligned gates only. An improperly aligned
door can cause serious injuries or damage the drive.

• The manufacturer assumes no liability for injuries, damage or break­downs that occur due to non-compliance with the installation and
operating instructions.

• Always ensure compliance with accident prevention regulations and
current standards in each respective country.

• Follow and comply with the "ASR A1.7 Technical Regulations for
Workplaces" of the committee for workplaces (ASTA) (Applies to
operators in Germany).

• Before any work on the drive disconnect it from the power supply and
lock it to prevent reconnection.

• Only use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare parts,
accessories and mounting material.

Storage

• The drive must be stored in an enclosed, dry area at a room
temperature of -20 – +50 °C.

• The drive should be stored horizontally.

Operation

• The drive must be operated only if a non-hazardous force tolerance
is set or safety is guaranteed by other safety equipment. The force
tolerance must be set low enough to eliminate any danger of injury by
the closing force (see "Maintenance and care").

• A rubber strip must be attached to secure the closing edge.

• Never put your hand near the door when it is moving or near

moving parts.

• Drive through the gate only when it has opened completely.

• There is a risk of persons being crushed or cut by the mechanism or

sharp edges of the door.

• For automatic closing the main and auxiliary closing edges must be
secured in accordance with the applicable directives and standards.

• Open and close the gate only if there are no children, persons, animals
or objects within its range of motion.

• Regularly check the safety and protection functions and repair faults
when they are detected. See Care and maintenance.

Radio remote control

• The remote control must only be used for devices and systems in
which radio interference will not endanger people, animals or objects or
the risk is reduced by other safety devices.

• The user must be made aware that systems that pose an accident risk
should only be operated – if at all – by remote control if the user can
actually see the door.

• The radio remote control may only be used if the door’s movement
can be watched and no persons or objects are within the range of
movement.

• Store the hand-held transmitter so that unintended operation, e.g.,
by children or animals, is impossible.

• The operator of the radio system is not protected from faults due to
other telecommunications equipment or devices (e.g. radio-controlled
systems that are licensed to operate in the same frequency range).
If substantial interference occurs, please contact your appropriate
telecommunications office which has radio interference measuring
equipment (radiolocation).

• Do not operate the hand-held transmitter in areas with sensitive radio
communications or systems (e.g. airports, hospitals).

Type plate

• The type plate is attached to the inside of the base frame/housing.
The type plate shows the exact type drawing and the date of manufacture
(month/year) of the drive.

Intended use

• The drive is designed exclusively for opening and closing sliding gates
(see EN 12433-1), referred to below as gates. Any other use does
not constitute intended use. The manufacturer accepts no liability
resulting from use other than intended use. The user bears the sole
responsibility for any risk involved. It also voids the warranty.

• Doors automated with an operator must must comply with the valid
standards and directives: e.g. EN 12604, EN 12605.

• Maintain the safety clearances between the gate and surroundings as
specified in EN 12604.

• The drive must be in good technical condition, and it must be used for
its intended purpose with awareness of the hazards as described by
the installation and operating manual.

• The gate must not have any rise or fall during opening or closing.

• Position the running rail to allow water to drain to prevent ice

accumulation in winter.

• The gate must move freely in the guide and on the running rail to
allow the drive to react sensitively and the gate to be switched off in
emergency.

• The gate must have end stops in open and closed position, otherwise it
may be pushed out of the guide in the event of an emergency release.

• Malfunctions which could affect safety must be corrected immediately.

• The door must be stable and rigid, meaning that it may not bend or

twist when being opened or closed.

• The drive cannot compensate for defects in the door or incorrect
assembly or installation.

• Do not install drive in explosive areas.

• Do not operate drive in rooms with aggressive atmosphere.

Initial operation

Safety instructions

NOTE!
After installation of the drive the person responsible for the

installation must complete an EC declaration of conformity for
the gate system in accordance with the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and apply the CE mark and a type plate. This is
also required for private installations and also if the drive is
retrofitted to a manually operated gate. This documentation
and the Installation and Operating Instructions are retained
by the operator.

ATTENTION!
The adjustment of the force tolerance is safety-relevant and

must be performed by qualified personnel with upmost care.
If the adjustment of the spring unit is excessively high,
people or animals could be injured and objects damaged.
Select a force tolerance that is as low as possible so that
obstacles are detected quickly and safely.

Programming the drive

The control system has an automatic force setting. The control system
memorizes the required force during the "OPEN" and "CLOSE" gate
movements and stores it when the end position has been reached.

Initial operation

Adjusting the force tolerance

• Shut-off force = learned force + force tolerance
(adjustable with the "Force" potentiometer)

• If the force is not sufcient for opening or closing the gate completely,

increase the force tolerance by rotating the potentiometer clockwise.

• If the setting is changed while the gate is opening or closing, the control
unit imports the setting next time the gate is opened.

• After setting the force tolerance it may be necessary to reset the end
positions.

Checking the force tolerance

ATTENTION!
The use of rubber safety strips on the main and side closing

edges is required. No sliding door without safety strips may
be used!

⇒ Our program contains various safety strips, both active (triggers an

immediate stop of the door at contact) and passive (takes up part
of the gyrating mass of the moving door). This strip can be ordered
from a SOMMER dealer under Art. No. 3652V000.

See care and maintenance / regular testing.

Tips on troubleshooting

IMPORTANT!
Many malfunctions can be resolved by a controller reset (delete force values), then reprogram the drive.

If you cannot find the malfunction in the table and eliminate it, take the following action:

• Disconnect connected accessories (e.g. photo eyes) and reconnect the jumper for a safety connection.

• Set all DIP switches to the factory setting.

• Set potentiometer to the factory setting (center position).

• If settings have been changed using TorMinal, perform the controller reset with TorMinal.

• Check all connections on the direct connectors and terminal strip and retighten if necessary.

If this does not help, contact your specialist dealer for assistance or consult our website at http://www.sommer.eu.
