SAFETY WARNINGS
oThis manual must be made available to all persons working on the equipment: installers, maintenance
technicians, end users, etc.
oThe FirstLane gates are designed to control access for persons to a given area and cannot be used for
another purpose without risk to the user and the integrity of the equipment. In particular, they are
NOT designed to facilitate pedestrian traffic and must NOT be used as routine entry/exit doors.
Automatic Systems cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper use of the equipment.
oEmployees working in the area must have been trained in the use of the automatic gates. Failure to
provide such user training can result in serious accidents or injuries.
oFor safety reasons, children (users shorter than 1 m) must be supervised by an adult in the vicinity and
when passing through the gate. When the gate is used by a child accompanied by an adult, the child
must precede the accompanying adult.
oExtreme care must also be taken with animals, which must be leashed and kept under the control of
their master at all times.
oDo not install this equipment in an explosive area.
oDo not add non-approved accessories (contact between different metals causes a battery effect that
decreases the equipment's corrosion resistance).
oThe contractor shall comply with local regulations when installing the equipment.
oAll operations on the equipment must be carried out by qualified personnel. Any unauthorized work or
work performed by an unqualified technician on this product shall automatically void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
oAccess to the mechanism must be reserved for staff who are aware of the electrical and mechanical
risks incurred in case of negligent handling.
oFor any operation that does not require the equipment to be powered up, turn off the power at the
distribution panel or at the switch (Ch.3.6. , item 18).
oAny internal component likely to be energized or in movement must be handled with caution.
oUse of antistatic gloves or bracelets (ElectroStatic Discharge) is essential when handling electronic
printed circuit boards, at the risk of the warranty being voided.
oThe equipment is configured in “minimal risk” mode for users. Parameters should only be changed by
qualified personnel with full knowledge of the consequences, and any such changes shall in no way
entail any liability on the part of Automatic Systems.
oIf the product is resold, it is the responsibility of the seller to ensure, for each piece of equipment that
is offered, sold and installed, that its foreseeable environment and use take into account the technical
characteristics of the equipment and comply with these requirements.
oThe seller shall defend and indemnify Automatic Systems from any claims against Automatic Systems
due to the seller’s failure to comply with the above obligations.

SITE PREPARATION WORK
The equipment is designed for indoor use, protected from the elements.
Preparatory work prior to installation of the equipment must be carried out in accordance with the
installation drawing (Ch.4.1. ).
This applies in particular to the laying of conduits for electrical cables (Ch.4.5. ).
The gate must be mounted on a concrete or other non-combustible material floor that is resistant to the
torque applied by tightening the anchor bolts (50 Nm).
The floor must be perfectly flat (no bumps).
The maximum allowed (longitudinal and transverse) slope between the units is 0.15% (to ensure
transmission of the detection beams).
The slope must be constant (no change in direction allowed).
STORAGE
Prior to installation, avoid any impact on the equipment and leave it in its original packaging in a dry
place, protected from dust, heat and the weather (see also Ch.3.4. ).
Storage temperature range: -30 to +80 °C.
INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT
The equipment can be handled using a forklift truck or a transpallet. In both cases, the lifting force must be
applied to the base frame (11, Ch.3.6. ).
To fasten the unit to the floor, Automatic Systems provides M10 expansion bolts to be tightened with a
minimum torque of 50 Nm. The location of the expansion bolts is shown on the installation drawing, Ch.4.1.
However, it is essential to adapt the fasteners and the fastening procedure to the environment and the
type of surface on which the unit will be mounted. Furthermore, it is essential that the work be approved
by an engineer specialized in the field.
The equipment must be fastened to the floor before making it accessible to users!
Automatic Systems cannot be held responsible for any accident or damage to equipment due
to improper fixing to the floor.

The information contained in this document is the property of Automatic Systems and is confidential. The recipient shall refrain from using it for any purpose other than the
use of the products or the execution of the project to which it refers, and from communicating it to third parties without Automatic Systems’ prior written agreement.

FirstLane-MT-EN
p. 19 / 48
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical connections must be made in accordance with the installation drawings (Ch.4.1. ) and electrical
drawings, which remain the reference.
The power and control cables as defined on the installation drawing are the responsibility of the user.
The control cables must be separated from the power cables to avoid interference.
Prior to connecting the power supply, it is essential to make a ground connection using a cable
with a min. cross section of 2.5 mm².
Do not connect to a floating network or to a high-impedance earthed industrial distribution
network.
For each lane:
Open the extension cover located on the right-hand side, in direction of passage A B (Ch.7.2. ).
Disconnect the circuit breaker (18, Ch.3.6. ) (OFF) (Ch.7.3. ).
