4. INSTALLATION
4.A. Important warnings
The contents of this manual must be read completely before assembly. For the safe assembly and use of the door,
we recommend that you follow the instructions in this manual carefully. After completing the assembly and che-
cking the installed product, the user will be informed about the methods of use and the risks associated with the
use of the door.
Assembly, electrical connections and regulations must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with
the standards in force and according to the instructions given.
Work on the industrial door should only be carried out when the door is not in operation.
The components are made of high quality, sustainable and durable materials. However, during installation all
necessary precautions must be taken to avoid damage.
Defective parts must always be replaced with original parts, otherwise the safe and proper functioning of the door
cannot be guaranteed and there is a risk that the warranty will be invalidated.
The programmable operating system software must not be modified. Only the supplier will be able to modify or
add anything to the product.
The motor must be used exclusively for the purpose for which it was designed. Any other use should be considered
inappropriate and therefore dangerous.
The safety devices (photocells, sensing strips, etc.) must be installed in compliance with the standards in force,
as well as the installation environment, the operation of the system, and the force exerted by the door. Safety
devices must protect the entire area of the door’s trajectory in order to prevent entrapment or shearing.
The electrical installation establishes the execution and commissioning of the electrical installations, which must
only be carried out by authorised installers, in accordance with local and/or national regulations, and the
appropriate technical documentation must be provided.
If in doubt, request assistance from qualified personnel.
After the installation is completed, the correct operation of the door will be verified by filling in the corresponding
register that certifies such verifications.
For any information or interpretation regarding that set out in this manual, do not hesitate to contact the technical
support service:

ATTENTION:
• During installation there is a risk that components will fall, which may cause injury to persons or
damage to objects.
• There is a risk of electrocution if there is contact with the mains voltage. Make sure that the electrical
installation on the client‘s premises meets the applicable safety requirements.
• During all work on the doors, make sure that the power is disconnected and protect it against
unauthorised use.
• Only carry out welding and grinding work when this is expressly permitted. Be careful, since there may
be a risk of fire or explosion. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation for welding or grinding, as dust
and other flammable substances may pose a risk of explosion.
