GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This installation manual is intended for professionally competent personnel only.
The installation, the electrical connections and the settings must be completed in conformity with good workmanship and with the laws in
force. Read the instructions carefully before beginning to install the product. Incorrect installation may be a source of danger. Packaging
materials (plastics, polystyrene, etc) must not be allowed to litter the environment and must be kept out of the reach of children for whom
they may be a source of danger. Before beginning the installation check that the product is in perfect condition. Do not install the product
in explosive areas and atmospheres: the presence of flammable gas or fumes represents a serious threat to safety.
Before installing the motorisation device, make all the structural modifications necessary in order to create safety clerance and to guard
or isolate all the compression, shearing, trapping and general danger areas. Check that the existing structure has the necessary strength
and stability. The manufacturer of the motorisation device is not responsible for the non-observance of workmanship in the costruction of
the frames to be motorised , nor for deformations that may be occur during use.
The safety devices (photoelectric cells, mechanical obstruction sensor, emergency stop, etc) must be installed taking into account: the
provisions and the directives in force, good workmanship criteria, the installation area, the funtional logic of the system and the forces
developed by the motorised door or gate.
The safety devices must protect against compression, shearing, trapping and general danger areas of the motorized door or gate.
Display the signs required by law to identify danger areas.
Each installation must bear a visible indication of the data identifying the motorised door or gate.
Before connecting to the mains check that the rating is correct for the destination power requirements.
A multipolar isolation switch with minimum contact gaps of 3 mm must be included in the mains supply.
Check that upstream of the electrical installation there is an adequate differential switch and a suitable circuit breaker.
When requested, connect the motorized door or gate to an effective earthing system carried out as indicated by current safety standards.
During installation, maintenance and repair operations, cut off the power supply before opening the cover to access the electrical parts.
The electronic parts must be handled using earthed antistatic conductive arms.
The manufacturer of the motorising device declines all responsability in cases where components which are incompatible with the
safe and correct operation of the product only original spare parts must be used. For repairs or replacements of products only
original spare parts must be used. The fitter must supply all information corcerning the automatic, the manual and emergency operation
of the motorised door or gate, and must provide the user the device with the operating instructions.
It is recommended that antistatic conductive earthed arm bands be worn when manipulating electronic parts.

MACHINERY DIRECTIVE

Pursuant to Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who motorises a door or gate has the same obligations as the manufacturer of
machinery and as such must:
- prepare the technical file which must contain the documents indicated in Annex V of the Machinery Directive; (The technical file must
be kept and placed at the disposal of competent national authorities for at least ten years from the date of manufacture of the motorised
door);
- draft the EC declaration of conformity in accordance with Annex II-A of the Machinery Directive;
- affix the CE marking on the power operated door in accordance with point 1.7.3 of Annex I of the Machinery Directive.

DECLARATION BY THE MANUFACTURER
(Directive 98/37/EC, Annex II, sub B)
Manufacturer: DITEC S.p.A.
Address: via Mons. Banfi, 3 - 21042 Caronno Pertusella (VA) - ITALY
Herewith declares that the electromechanical automatic system series ARC
- is intended to be incorpored into machinery or to be assembled with other machinery to constitute machinery convered by Directive
98/37/EC, as amended;
- is in conformity with the provisions of the following other EEC directives:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC, as amended;
Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC, as amended;
and furthermore declares that it is not allowed to put the machinery into service until the machinery into which it is to be incorporated or of
which it is to be a component has been found and declared to be in conformity with the provisions of Directive 98/37/EC and with national
implementing legislation.
Caronno Pertusella, 07/06/1999.

APPLICATIONS

Maximum permissible weight and recommended weight: see TECHNICAL DATA
ARC B
Service life: 3 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 30÷60 cycles a day)
Applications: FREQUENT (For vehicle or pedestrian accesses to town houses or small condominiums with frequent use).
Minimum number of consecutive cycles ARC B: 20
ARC BH
Service life: 4 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 100÷200 cycles a day).
Applications: HEAVY DUTY (For all special applications with ongoing use such as toll gates and so on).
Minimum number of consecutive cycles ARC BH: >50
• Performance characteristics are to be understood as referring to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum permissible
weight). A reduction in performance is to be expected when the access is made to operate at the maximum permissible weight.
• Service class, running times, and the number of consecutive cycles are to be taken as merely indicative having been statistically
determined under average operating conditions, and are therefore not necessarily applicable to specific conditions of use. During
given time spans product performance characteristics will be such as not to require any special maintenance.
• The actual performance characteristics of each automatic access may be affected by independent variables such as friction, balancing
and environmental factors, all of which may substantially alter the performance characteristics of the automatic access or curtail its
working life or parts thereof (including the automatic devices themselves). When setting up, specific local conditions must be duly
borne in mind and the installation adapted accordingly for ensuring maximum durability and trouble-free operation.
