GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
If correctly installed and used, the
MISTRAL
automated system will
ensure a high degree of safety. Some simple rules on behaviour
can prevent accidental trouble:
Do not stand near the automated system, and do not allow chil-
dren, persons or things to do so, especially when it is operating.
Keep radio-controls, or any other pulse generators that could
involuntarily activate the automated system, well away from
children.
Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
Do not willingly obstruct gate movement.
Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with gate mo-
vement.
Keep the indicator-lights efficient and easy to see.
Do not attempt to activate the gate by hand unless you have
released it.
In the event of malfunctions, release the gate to allow access and
wait for qualified technical personnel to do the necessary work.
When you have set manual operation mode, cut power to the
system before restoring normal operation.
Do not in any way modify the components of the automated
system.
Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatever and
contact qualified personnel only.
At least every six months: arrange a check by qualified personnel
of the automated system, safety devices and earth connec-
tion.
DESCRIPTION
The
MISTRAL
automated system for swing gates is an electro-
mechanical operator that transmits motion to the leaf via a worm
screw system.
The operator is available in many versions covering therefore every
installation requirement. The “LS” versions are equipped with ope-
ning and closing limit switches.
The models with non-reversing mechanics ensure mechanical
locking of the leaf when the motor is not operating. A convenient
and reliable release with customized key makes it possible to move
the leaf by hand in the event of malfunction or power failure.
The model with reversing mechanics requires the use of an electric
lock to ensure mechanical locking of the leaf.
In the event of malfunction or power failure, just release the electric
lock to move the leaf by hand. It is not equipped with a release
device.
ALWAYS make sure that the system is not powered before
releasing the electric lock with the key.
All models, if correctly installed, ensure an installation in compliance
with the current safety regulations.
Automated systems include safety devices (photocells) that pre-
vent the gate from closing when there is an obstacle in the area
they protect.
The warning-light indicates that the gate is currently moving.
MANUAL OPERATION
The reversible models has no release device. To move the
leaf by hand, just release the electric lock.
Before releasing the electric lock always make sure that the
system is not powered.
If the automated system needs to be moved manually due to a
power lack or to an operator malfunction, proceed as follows:
Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the
event of a power lack).

To hold the operator in manual operation the release device
should be left in its current positions and the system should
be without power.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To restore normal operating conditions, proceed as follows:
Make sure that the system is not powered.
Turn the release system 180° in the opposite direction of the
arrow.
Turn 90° the release key and remove it.
Close the control lever and the protection cover.
Make sure that the gate cannot be moved manually.
Power up the system and perform some movements in order
to check the correct restoring of every function of the auto-
mated system.
MAINTENANCE
In order to ensure correct operation and constant safety over time,
make a general check of the system every six months, paying
special attention to the safety devices. In the booklet “User gui-
de”, a form has been prepared for the recording of maintenance
operations.
