1 Important Notes
CAUTION!
Incorrect installation or operation of the ope-
rator could result in serious injury. Please
therefore follow these instructions carefully!
1.1 Important safety instructions
This hinged gate operator is designed exclusively for the
automated operation of smooth-running hinged gates in
the non-commercial sector, whereby their max. length of
4,000 mm or max. weight of 400 kg must not be
exceeded!
ATTENTION!
It is not permissible to use the operator for
larger or heavier gates nor for applications
in the commercial sector.
Note
In carrying out installation, observe the national guideli-
nes for power-driven gates!
1.1.1 We shall be exempt from our warranty obligations
and product liability in the event that the customer
carries out his own structural changes or undertakes
improper installation work or arranges for same to be
carried out without our prior approval and contrary to the
installation guidelines we have provided. Moreover, we
shall accept no responsibility for the inadvertent or
negligent operation of the operator nor for the improper
maintenance of the gate and accessories nor for any
non-approved method of fitting the gate. Batteries
are also not covered by the warranty.
1.1.2 Checking the gate/gate system
The design of the operator is not suitable nor intended for
the opening and closing of heavy gates, i.e. gates that
can no longer be opened or closed manually. Before
installing the operator, it is therefore necessary to
check the gate and make sure that it can also be
easily moved by hand.
In addition, check the entire gate system (pivots, gate
bearings and fastenings) for wear and possible damage.
Check for signs of rust, corrosion or fractures. The gate
system may not be used if repair or adjustment work needs
to be carried out. Always remember that a fault in the gate
system or a wrongly aligned gate can also cause injury.
Note
Before installing the operator and in the interests of your own
safety, arrange for any required repair work to be carried out
by qualified service engineers.
1.2 Important instructions for safe installation
Any further processing must ensure that the national
regulations governing the operation of electrical
equipment are complied with.
1.2.1 Prior to installation, any mechanical locks and latches
not needed for power operation of the hinged gate,
should be immobilised. This includes in particular any
locking mechanisms connected with the gate lock.
1.2.2 In carrying out the installation work the applicable
regulations regarding working safety must be complied
with.
Attention!
Always cover over the operator before
drilling, since drilling dust and chippings
can lead to malfunctions.
1.3 Warnings
Permanently installed controls (such as but-
tons or similar devices) should be installed
within sight of the gate but well away from
any moving parts and at a height of at least
1.5 metres.
It is vital that they are installed out of
the reach of children!
Make sure that...
- neither persons nor objects are
located within the gate's range of
travel!
- children do not play around with the
gate system!
1.4 Maintenance advice
The hinged gate operator is maintenance-free. For your
own safety, however, we recommend that you have the
gate system checked once a year by qualified service
engineers.
Note
The function of all safety and protective devices should be
tested once a month, during which time any detected faults
or defects should be rectified.
