GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS
If correctly installed and used, the ANTES 230 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 per-
sonnel of the automated system, safety devices and earth
connection.
DESCRIPTION
The ANTES 230 automated system is ideal for controlling vehicle
access areas in residential ambients.
ANTES 230 for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical operator which
transmits motion to the leaf via a rack and pinion.
For details on sliding gate behaviour in different function logics,
consult the installation Technician.
Automated systems include safety devices (photocells) that pre-
vent the gate from closing when there is an obstacle in the area
they protect.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is not
operating and, therefore, installing a lock is unnecessary.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the release
system.
A handy manual release facility makes it possible to move the
gate in the event of a power cut or fault.
The warning-light indicates that the gate is currently moving.
MANUAL MODE OPERATION
If the gate has to be moved manually due to a power cut or fault
of the automated system, use the release device as follows:
1. Cut power to the system;
2. Using a coin, turn the lock clockwise until it stops (Fig. 1 ref.
a);
3. Pull the lever as shown in Fig. 1 ref. b
4. Open or close the gate manually.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATING MODE.
1. Cut power to the system.
2. Position the gate at about halfway of opening travel
3. Take the release lever back into its position;
4. Using a coin, turn the lock anti-clockwise until it stops;
5. Restore power to the automated system.
When power is restored, command another complete opening
cycle.
Before sending a pulse, make sure that the gate cannot be
moved manually.
