ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS - important safety instructions. Fol-
low the instructions since incorrect installation can lead to se-
vere inquiry! Save these instructions.
Read the instructions carefully before proceeding with installation.
The design and manufacture of the devices making up the
product and the information in this manual are compliant with
current safety standards. However, incorrect installation or
programming may cause serious injury to those working on or
using the system. Compliance with the instructions provided
here when installing the product is therefore extremely impor-
tant.
If in any doubt regarding installation, do not proceed and contact the
Key Automation Technical Service for clarications.
Under European legislation, an automatic door or gate system
must comply with the standards envisaged in the Directive
2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive) and in particular standards
EN 12445; EN 12453; EN 12635 and EN 13241-1, which enable
declaration of presumed conformity of the automation system.
Therefore, nal connection of the automation system to the electri-
cal mains, system testing, commissioning and routine maintenance
must be performed by skilled, qualied personnel, in observance of
the instructions in the “Testing and commissioning the automation
system” section.
The aforesaid personnel are also responsible for the tests required
to verify the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and for
ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards and regula-
tions, with particular reference to all requirements of the EN 12445
standard which establishes the test methods for testing door and
gate automation systems.
Before starting installation, perform the following checks and
assessments:
ensure that every device used to set up the automation system is
suited to the intended system overall. For this purpose, pay special
attention to the data provided in the “Technical specications” sec-
tion. Do not proceed with installation if any one of these devices is
not suitable for its intended purpose;
check that the devices purchased are sufcient to guarantee system
safety and functionality;
perform a risk assessment, including a list of the essential safety
requirements as envisaged in Annex I of the Machinery Directive,
specifying the solutions adopted. The risk assessment is one of the
documents included in the automation system’s technical le. This
must be compiled by a professional installer.
Considering the risk situations that may arise during instal-
lation phases and use of the product, the automation system
must be installed in compliance with the following safety pre-
cautions:
never make modications to any part of the automation system other
than those specied in this manual. Operations of this type can only
lead to malfunctions. The manufacturer declines all liability for da-
mage caused by unauthorised modications to products;
if the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer or its after-sales service, or in all cases by a person with similar
qualications, to prevent all risks;
do not allow parts of the automation system to be immersed in water
or other liquids. During installation ensure that no liquids are able to
enter the various devices;
should this occur, disconnect the power supply immediately and
contact a Key Automation Service Centre. Use of the automation
system in these conditions may cause hazards;
never place automation system components near to sources of heat
or expose them to naked lights. This may damage system compo-
nents and cause malfunctions, re or hazards;
During cleaning, maintenance or during all operations requi-
ring opening of the protective housings of various automation
system components must be performed with the control unit
disconnected from the power supply. If the disconnect device
is not in a visible location, afx a notice stating: “MAINTENAN-
CE IN PROGRESS”:
connect all devices to an electric power line equipped with an
earthing system;
the product cannot be considered to provide effective protection
against intrusion. If effective protection is required, the automation
system must be combined with other devices;
the product may not be used until the automation system “commis-
sioning” procedure has been performed as specied in the “Automa-
tion system testing and commissioning” section;
the system power supply line must include a circuit breaker device
with a contact gap allowing complete disconnection in the conditions
specied by class III overvoltage;
use unions with IP55 or higher protection when connecting hoses,
pipes or cable glands;
the electrical system upstream of the automation system must com-
ply with the relevant regulations and be constructed to good wor-
kmanship standards;
users are advised to install an emergency stop button close to the
automation system (connected to the control PCB STOP input) to
allow the door to be stopped immediately in case of danger;
this device is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacities, or with lack
of experience or skill, unless a person responsible for their safety
provides surveillance or instruction in use of the device;
before starting the automation system, ensure that there is no-one
in the immediate vicinity;
before proceeding with any cleaning or maintenance work on the
automation system, disconnect it from the electrical mains;
special care must be taken to avoid crushing between the part ope-
rated by the automation system and any xed parts around it;
children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
equipment.
Do not use if repair or adjustment is necessary.
The automation system component packaging material must
be disposed of in full observance of current local waste dispo-
sal legislation.

2 - INTRODUCING THE PRODUCT
3 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before installing the product, perform the following checks and in-
spections:
check that the barrier is suitable for automation;
the weight and size of the barrier must be within the operating limits
specied for the automation system in which the product is installed;
check that the barrier has rm, effective mechanical safety stops;
make sure that the product xing zone is not subject to ooding;
high acidity or salinity or nearby heat sources might cause the pro-
duct to malfunction;
in case of extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow, ice, wide tempe-
rature variations or high temperatures), friction may increase, cau-
sing a corresponding rise in the force needed to operate the system;
the starting torque may therefore exceed that required in normal
conditions;
check that when operated by hand the barrier moves smoothly wi-
thout any areas of greater friction or derailment risk;
check that the barrier is well balanced and will therefore remain sta-
tionery when released in any position;
check that the electricity supply line to which the product is to be
connected is suitably earthed and protected by an overload and dif-
ferential safety breaker device;
the system power supply line must include a circuit breaker device
with a contact gap allowing complete disconnection in the condi-
tions specied by class III overvoltage;
ensure that all the material used for installation complies with the
relevant regulatory standards.

5.2 Commissioning
Following the successful testing of all (and not just some) devices in
the system you can proceed with the commissioning.
You must prepare, and keep for 10 years, the technical le of the
system with the wiring diagram, drawing or photo of the system,
risks analysis and solutions adopted, manufacturer declaration of
conformity of all devices connected, instruction manual of each de-
vice and maintenance schedule of the system.
Fix on the gate or door a plaque indicating the automation data, the
name of the person responsible for the commissioning, the serial
number and year of construction, the CE mark.
Attach a plaque indicating the steps required to manually unlock
the system.
Implement and deliver to the end user the declaration of conform-
ity, the instructions and warnings for use for the end user and the
maintenance schedule of the system.
Make sure the user understands proper automatic, manual and
emergency operation of the automation.
Inform the end user in writing of the dangers and risks still present.
5.1 Testing
All system components must be tested following the procedures
outlined in the respective instruction manuals.
Check that they meet the guidelines in Chapter 1 - Safety warnings
Check that the gate or door can move freely once the automation
is unlocked, and that they are in equilibrium and stationary if left in
any position.
Check the correct operation of all connected devices (photocells,
sensitive edges, emergency buttons, etc.), testing the opening,
closing and stopping of the gate or door via the connected control
devices (transmitters, buttons, switches).
Carry out measurements of the impact force, as prescribed by
standard EN12445 adjusting the functions of speed, motor force
and deceleration of the unit if the measurements do not give the
desired results until you nd the right setting.
The testing of the system must be performed by qualied techni-
cians who must perform the tests required by relevant legislation
related to risks, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the
regulations, in particular the EN12445 standard, which species the
testing methods for the automation of doors and gates.
5- TESTING AND COMMISSIONING THE AUTOMATION

7
EN
Key Automation S.r.l. produces systems for the automation of gates,
garage doors, automatic doors, shutters, parking lots and road bar-
riers. However, Key Automation is not the manufacturer of your au-
tomation system, which is rather the result of a process of analysis,
evaluation, selection of materials, and installation performed by your
own installer. Each automated system is unique and only your in-
staller has the experience and professionalism required to create a
system to suit your needs, safe and reliable over time, and carried
out in a workmanlike manner, i.e. compliant with the current regula-
tions. Even if your automation system meets the security level re-
quired by law, this does not exclude the existence of "residual risks",
i.e. the possibility that it may cause dangerous situations, usually as
a result of improper or irresponsible use; for this reason we would
like to give you some suggestions:
• Before using the automation for the rst time, ask the installer to
explain the origin of residual risks.
• Keep this manual for future use and deliver it to any new owner of
the automation.
• Inappropriate or improper use of the automation can make it dan-
gerous: do not command the movement of the automation if people,
animals or things are in its range.
• Children: If properly designed, an automation system ensures a
high degree of security, preventing movement in the presence of
people or things with its detection systems, and ensuring always
predictable and safe activation. It is prudent to prevent children from
playing near the automation and keep remote controls out of their
reach to prevent accidental activation.
• Malfunctions: As soon as you notice any malfunctions, disconnect
the system from the power supply and operate the manual release.
Do not attempt any repairs by yourself, but require the assistance
of your installer: meanwhile, the system can operate like a non-au-
tomated opening device after releasing the motor reducer with the
release key supplied with the system.
• In case of failures or power failures: While awaiting the arrival of
your installer or the restore of the electricity, if the system is not
equipped with backup batteries, the automation can be operated as
any normal non-automated opening device. To do this, you must run
the manual release.
Release and manual movement: before performing this operation
pay attention that the device can be released only when the door is
stationary.
• Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation needs periodic
maintenance to ensure its long life and total safety. Agree with your
installer on a maintenance plan on a periodic basis; Key Automation
recommends a frequency of 6 months for normal domestic use, but
this period may vary depending on the intensity of use. All inspec-
tion, maintenance or repairs should be performed only by qualied
personnel.
• Do not change the system and control or programming parameters
of the automation: the responsibility lies with your installer.
• The testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be docu-
mented by the person who performs them, and related documents
must kept by the owner.
The only interventions that are possible for the user and should be
carried out periodically are the cleaning of the slides and photocells,
as well as the removal of any leaves or rocks that could hinder the
automation. To prevent anyone from activating the gate or door, be-
fore proceeding, remember to release the automation and clean only
with a cloth slightly dampened with water.
• Disposal: At the end of the automation useful life, make sure that
the dismantling is carried out by qualied personnel and the mate-
rials are recycled or disposed of according to local regulations in
force.
• Operate the gate or door (with remote control, key switch, etc..);
if everything is working properly, the gate or the door will open and
close normally, otherwise the ashing light ashes and the maneu-
ver does not start.
With the safeties out of use, the automation must be repaired as
soon as possible.
Replacing the remote control battery: if your remote control seems
to work worse or not work at all after a while, this may simply de-
pend on the exhaustion of the battery (depending on use, it may
take several months to over a year). In that case, you will see that
the conrmation of transmission light does not turn on, or comes on
only briey.
The batteries contain polluting substances: do not throw them in the
garbage but use the methods prescribed by local regulations.
