Bar balancing
Check the balance of the bar, repeating the manoeuvres
described in chapter "Securing of bar and balancing". This
operation is fundamental for the correct functioning and duration
of the barrier. If necessary, increase the preloading of the spring in
order to compensate for its wear. See the subsequent paragraph
"Extraordinary maintenance and repairs" in the event the spring
needs to be changed.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the force limitation effi ciency
Check the correspondence between the true operation and the
operation established during installation.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the 12V dc battery
Check the charge level of the battery by means of a tester. If
replacement is necessary, substitute the fl at battery with an
original and do not dispose of it in the environment.
FREQUENCY: every 100.000 manoeuvres or 6 months, failing
which the guarantee lapses.
Control of the remaining protection and safety devices
Check that the following specifi cations are respected:
•
The fl ashing light is working and visible;
•
The adhesive danger sign on the door is well attached and
visible;
•
The adhesive danger sign on the back of the barrier is well
attached and visible. If these signs do not correspond to the
stated conditions, restore their original effectiveness or, if this
is impossible, replace them.
FREQUENCY: every 6 months, failing which the guarantee
lapses.
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
If a complicated repair or replacement of electromechanical parts
is necessary, the unit in question (control unit, gearmotor unit)
should be removed in order for the repair to be carried out by the
manufacturer or by authorised technicians. Otherwise, the safety
and reliability of the barrier may be reduced (such as the guarantee
for example).
NOTE: if the barrier is used in a saline environment or
an environment that is highly contaminated by corrosive
chemical reactants, the frequency of the maintenance controls
must be increased due to the increased environmental
deterioration; In this case the external metal cabinet should
also be inspected.
This paragraph deals with the most probable causes of common
faults, in order to promptly re-establish the barrier.
In any case the indicated case study is incomplete (both from a
cause point of view as well as a fault point of view).
a_ The barrier is blocked (open, closed or half-open):
1_ no power supply;
2_ ineffi cient commands;
3_ blown power supply fuse;
4_ photocells (also enabled during opening) active because they
are incorrectly aligned and/or covered (grass, etc);
b_ the barrier continues to open and close;
1_ check the false contacts of the remote control buttons and the
key selector switches that remain on;
c_ the barrier remains open;
1_ the photocells are active because they are not aligned and/or
dirty (mud, etc) and/or covered (grass, etc);

d_ the barrier has diffi culty in opening;
1_ the bar balancing spring needs adjusting;
e_ the barrier lifts/lowers more than the foreseen limits;
1_ the mechanical limit switches need adjusting (see chapter
"LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT").
When the barrier has reached the end of its useful life it should
be removed and the reusable materials should be recycled. Pay
attention to that which is stipulated by local and/or national laws
and regulations. Care should be taken when recycling the following
parts:
•
cabinet painted with epoxy paint
•
methacrylate fl ashing light dome
•
polycarbonate control unit box
•
electronic cards
•
12V dc dry battery (lead acid)
•
lithium grease inside the reduction gear
•
minor plastic and/or rubber connections and protections.
RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT!
DISMANTLING WARNINGS: the barrier dismantling operations
must respect the safety measures: therefore, disconnect the power
supply before proceeding. Slacken (not completely) the adjustment
nut of the balancing spring so that the bar can be comfortably and
safely removed. Then unscrew the blocking screws on the base of
the cabinet in order to process as desired.
The bar, which can be purchased on request, is packed separately
from the barrier that is packaged in a cardboard box.
Care and attention must be taken throughout the handling phase.
Ideally, a manual or motorised trolley should be used for lifting
and movement. The items must be stored upright, even for short
periods, respecting the direction that is indicate on the packaging
and taking into consideration that high centres of gravity cause
instability.
The bar must be stored making sure that there are no protruding
parts or loads that could damage it. Once unpacked, make sure
that it is intact. Do not discard the packaging, but rather recycle it
following local laws.
WARNING: to prevent suffocation or similar dangers, do not
allow children to handle the packaging.
