es, etc.) are able to obstruct the movement of the gate.
If the installation is equipped with photoelectric cells and/or
an orange light, regularly clean the photoelectric cell optical
units and the orange light.
Have the drive checked every year by a qualified technician.
WARNING
Every month, check:
- the installation, looking for any signs of wear or dam-
age to the cables and assembly.
- that the drive changes direction when the gate encoun-
ters an object measuring 50 mm positioned halfway up
the leaf.
If this is not the case, contact a professional drive and
home automation installer immediately.
Do not use the drive if it needs repairing or adjusting.
Gates in poor condition must be repaired, reinforced or
even replaced.
1.4. About the batteries
DANGER
Do not leave batteries of any kind within reach of children.
Keep them somewhere children cannot access. There is
a risk that they could be swallowed by children or pets.
Danger of death!
If this does occur, seek medical advice immediately or go
to hospital.
Ensure that the batteries are not short-circuited, thrown
in the fire or recharged. There is a risk of explosion.
1.5.Recycling and disposal
If installed, the battery must be removed from the
drive before the latter is disposed of. Do not dispose
of used remote control or other batteries with house-
hold waste. They must be taken to the relevant recy-
cling points.
Do not dispose of the drive with household waste at
the end of its life. Return the drive to its distributor or
use your local authority's special waste collection
services.

3.1.2.Pedestrian opening with a 2 or 4-button remote
control
Press the programmed button to open the gate in pedestrian mode.
3.1.3.2-stage mode on the shoe when closing
The load on the gate leaves must be taken up at the end of the gate's
movement to comply with the standard in force on the risk of trapping (EN
12453). This load take-up phase (a few seconds) is part of the complete
movement of the gate.
The movement can be broken down into 3
phases:
1. Gate leaves closing their stops
2. Load take-up: the load is taken up for 7
seconds to allow release if someone or
something is trapped.
3. Power restored until the gate leaves
reach the closing stops and the orange
light goes out, if fitted.
NB
If a radio command is sent during the load take-up phase, it will be
interpreted as a movement stop command.
3.1.4.Obstacle detection operation
When an obstacle is detected during opening, the gate will stop and then
withdraw.
If an obstacle is detected during closing, the gate will stop and then reo-
pen.
3.2.Specific modes
Depending on the peripherals installed and the operating options pro-
grammed by your installer, the drive may operate in the following specific
ways:
3.2.1.Total opening with a 3-button remote control
STOP
3.2.2.Pedestrian opening with a 3-button remote con-
trol
3.2.3.Operation with safety cells
An obstacle placed between the cells will prevent the gate from closing.
If an obstacle is detected when the gate is closing, the gate will stop then
open again completely or partially depending on the option programmed
during installation.
If the cells are blocked for 3 minutes or more, the system switches to
"wired deadman" operating mode. In this mode, a command via the wired
input causes the gate to move at reduced speed. The movement lasts as
long as the command is maintained and stops as soon as the button is
released. The system switches back to normal mode as soon as the cells
are no longer blocked.
NB
"Wired deadman" mode requires the use of a safety contact (e.g.
keyed reversing switch ref. 1841036).
Operation with orange flashing light
The orange light is activated during any gate movement.
A 2-second pre-warning signal before movement starts may be pro-
grammed during installation.
3.2.4.Operation of the remote lighting
Depending on the programming performed during installation, the lighting
comes on each time the drive is started and remains on when it stops for
the duration of the programmed time delay.
If a remote control is programmed for the remote lighting, operation is as
follows:
With a 2 or 4-button remote control
Press the programmed button to operate the lighting.
With a 3-button remote control

3.2.5.Operation in sequential mode with automatic
closing aer a time-delay
The gate is automatically closed aer a time-delay programmed during
installation.
A new command sent during this time-delay cancels automatic closing
and the gate remains open.
The subsequent command causes the gate to close.
3.2.6.Operation using the backup battery
If a backup battery is installed, the drive will work even during a power
outage.
Operation is then activated under the following conditions:
• Reduced speed.
• The peripherals (photoelectric cells, orange light, wired code key-
pad, etc.) do not operate.
Battery specifications:
• Life: 24 hrs; 3 operating cycles depending on the weight of the gate.
• Recharging time: 48 h
• Service life before replacement: Approximately 3 years.
For optimum battery life, it is recommended that the main power supply be
switched off and the motor operated using the battery for several cycles,
3 times a year.
3.3.Adding remote controls
Remote control "A" = "source" remote control already memorised
Remote control "B" = "target" remote control to be memorised
3.3.1.2- or 4-button remote controls
Copying the function from a memorised button on a 2- or 4-button remote
control to a button on a new 2- or 4-button remote control:
2s
AB
For example, if the button on remote control A opens the gate fully, the
button on the new remote control B will also open the gate fully.
3.3.2.3-button remote controls
Copying the function from a memorised button on a 3-button remote con-
trol to a new 3-button remote control:
A B
2s < 1s
For example, if remote control A operates the gate's remote lighting, the
new remote control B will also operate the gate's remote lighting.
4.MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE GATE
