Product Safety
The Free Standing Skybox has infrared photoelectric sensors positioned along the sealing edge of the product (the sealing edge is
where the door closes). One sensor emits a beam which is received by the other during normal operation. If this beam is obstructed
by any object the door will immediately stop moving and then back off slightly to prevent damage to the framework, mechanisms
or object and prevent entrapment. Until the path of the beam is cleared the product will not operate. This offers protection against
trapping fingers or limbs at the sealing edge.
These sensors do not offer protection against the other edges of the product and only protects along the inside face. To avoid serious
injury or damage to the product, do not place anything in or near to the product’s mechanisms. Care must always be taken around
motorised equipment. Do not allow unauthorised persons (e.g. children) to operate or play near the product.
Manual Override
In the unlikely event of failure of the Free Standing Skybox, it may be necessary to manually override the product. Before considering
manually overriding the product, several likely issues should be ruled out first. Check that power is being supplied to the Free
Standing Skybox, also check for any obstructions around the mechanisms and proximity sensors, and lastly check that the wall
switch is not showing any errors (if so, see the troubleshooting section). If none of these suggestions resolve the issue, then the
product can be manually overridden.
Stuck Open or Closed
If the Free Standing Skybox is stuck in the open or closed position and will not open/close electrically, the mechanisms can be
disengaged to allow the lid to be opened/closed manually. Manual override can be done from the inside. Do not attempt to manually
override the product without a safe working platform.
Using the supplied key, disengage the solenoid bolt. This is done by turning the key and holding it in this position. With the key still
held in this position, turn the handle to disengage the door from the mechanisms. The door can now be pushed open/closed as
desired. Do not attempt to push the door without a safe working platform. When moving the door manually, ensure that the door
handle does not clash with the product’s framework. Also take care that the solenoid bolt pin does not clash with the door. This will
result in damage to the product.
Figure 9 –Manual override locations
Once the product is open, the mechanisms can be detached/reattached, and any problems can be diagnosed and resolved (contact
Glazing Vision for assistance with this). Ensure that the door remains fully supported at all times.
Note that if the product is subsequently pushed closed manually without reengaging the mechanisms, the building will be
watertight, but may not be secure. To ensure that the door is secure when the mechanisms are disengaged, turn and hold the key
to retract the solenoid bolt and push the door tightly closed to compress the rubber seals. When the door is closed release the
solenoid bolt and it should engage in the strike plate locking the door in place. Check that the door is secure and the solenoid bolt
has successfully engaged.
Please contact Glazing Vision for further assistance –the product will no longer be operational. Once the issue is resolved, the
product must be re-initialised.
