3.3 UNAUTHORISED USE3.1 INTENDED USE
The FAAC model 844 ER 3PH gearmotors have been designed to
control horizontal movement sliding gates intended for installation
in areas that are accessible to people, the main purpose of which is
to provide safe access for goods, vehicles and people to industrial,
commercial or residential buildings.
Only one gearmotor must be installed for each leaf. The system
requires a special foundation plate, supplied separately, which is
embedded in a plinth. The gate must be moved via a drive pinion and
a rack (supplied separately). The 844 ER 3PH has a built-in electronic
board, with specific instructions.
To move the gate manually, follow the instructions in section § Manual
operation.
! Any other use that is not expressly specified in these instructions is prohibited
and could affect the integrity of the product and/or represent a source of
danger.
3.2 LIMITATIONS OF USE
The maximum force required to move the leaf by hand over its entire
length of travel must be 225 N for residential areas and 260 N for
industrial or commercial areas.
The maximum force required to start the movement must be less
than the maximum torque at initial thrust of the operator indicated
in the technical data.
The leaf must fall within the dimensional and weight limits indicated
in the technical data.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice and strong wind,
even occasional, could affect the correct operation of the automation,
the integrity of the components and be a potential source of danger
(see § Emergency use).
844 ER 3PH is not designed to be a security (break-in protection)
system.
If there is a pedestrian access gate integrated in the leaf of the gate,
the motorised movement must be disabled when the pedestrian gate
is not in a safe position.
The installation must be visible during the day and at night. If it is
not, appropriate solutions must be provided to make the fixed and
moving parts visible.
Implementing the automation requires the installation of the neces-
sary safety devices, identified by the installer through an appropriate
risk assessment of the installation site.
In emergencies or if there is a fault, turn off the power supply to the
automation. If the leaf can be moved safely by hand, use the MANUAL
OPERATION mode; otherwise place the automation out of service until
it has been reset/repaired.
In the case of a breakdown, the automation must be reset/repaired
exclusively by the installer/maintenance technician.
