PRECAUTIONS WITH THE GATE BEFORE AUTOMATION
Before applying the automation to the gate, some procedures should be taken:
-Check the mechanical conditions, whether the balancing is correct and whether
the opening and closing are suitable. Remove any equipment not necessary for the
operation of the machine, such as locks, ropes, chains, tools, among others;
-The unlocking (manual release) must be installed at a height of less than 1.8 m;
-In the case of push button installations (optional fixed control), install at a height
of at least 1.5 m from the floor and in view of the door, further away from moving
parts;
-Fix crush risk warning, available in the automation kit, in places visible or near the
button (fixed control);
-Check the manual release system, fastened next to the actuation element of the
unlocking;
-Move the door leaf manually (opening and closing) and observe the required
effort. The leaf should rise and fall, throughout the course, with the minimum of
effort;
-Check the balance of the gate leaf. Lift the sheet up to the middle of the path and
observe whether it remains stationary. If the sheet remains stationary, the gate will
be satisfactorily balanced. This equilibrium condition must occur for approxima-
tely 80% of the course, with imbalance close to the extremes of the course being
permissible.
-The gate shall have a sturdy and, as far as possible, non-deformable structure.
FIXATION AND INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR
Before installing the automation system, remove any unnecessary
cables and disable any equipment or system connected to the elec-
trical grid.
