GENERAL WARNINGS FOR PEOPLE SAFETY

INTRODUCTION 

This operator is designed for a specific 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 
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.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before commencing operator installation assess the suitability 
of the access, its general condition and the structure. 

 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 flammable 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 gate 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 off 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 qualified 
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. 

 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, verification of safety accessories, 
verification 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 qualified technicians. 

 Keep these instructions carefully.

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 qualified technical personnel, filling 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 verification of the regulations in force at the 
place of installation in the field 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
prohibited
