Important safety recommendations
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH AND / OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND ADHERE TO ALL SAFETY AND INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDATIONS.
2. The opener is designed and manufactured to meet local regulations. The installer must be
familiar with local regulations required in respect of the installation of the opener.
3. Unqualified personnel or those persons who do not know the occupational health and
safety standards being applicable to automatic gates and other doors, must in no
circumstances carry out installations or implement systems.
4. Persons who install or service the equipment without observing all the applicable safety
standards will be responsible for any damage, injury, cost, expense or claim whatsoever
any person suffered as a result of failure to install the system correctly and in accordance
with the relevant safety standards and installation manual whether directly or indirectly.
5. For additional safety we strongly recommend the inclusion of Photo Beam. Although the
opener incorporates a pressure sensitive Safety Obstruction Force system the addition of
Photo Beam will greatly enhance the operating safety of an automatic garage door and
provide additional peace of mind.
6. Make sure that the garage door is fully open & stationary before driving in or out of the
garage.
7. Make sure the garage door is fully closed & stationary before leaving.
8. Keep hands and loose clothing off the opener and garage door all the time.
9. The Safety Obstruction System is designed to work on STATIONARY objects only.
Serious personal injury, death and / or property damage may occur if the garage door
comes into contact with a moving object
10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
11. Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for
recycling advice.
12. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
-WARNING: Important safety instructions. It is important for the safety of persons to
follow all instructions. Save these instructions.
-Do not allow children to play with door controls. Keep remote controls away from
children.
-Watch the moving door and keep people away until the door is completely opened
or closed.

2
-Take care when operating the manual release since an open door may fall rapidly
due to weak or broken springs, or being out of balance.
-Frequently examine the installation, in particular check cables, springs and
mountings for signs of wear, damage or imbalance. Do not use if repair or
adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an incorrectly balanced door
may cause injury.
-Each month check that the drive reverses when the door contacts a 50 mm high
object placed on the floor. Adjust if necessary and recheck since an incorrect
adjustment may present a hazard, for drives incorporating an entrapment
protection system depending on contact with the bottom edge of the door.
-Details on how to use the manual release.
-Information concerning the adjustment of the door and drive.
-Disconnect the supply when cleaning or carrying out other maintenance.
-The installation instructions shall include details for the installation of the drive and
its associated components.

Installation recommendations
Remember there are specific standards that have to be strictly followed regarding the safety
rules of electrical installations and automatic gates and doors.
As for the legal requirements and standards that must be adhered to, please take notice of the
following points to ensure maximum safety and reliability of your installation.
1. Before installing, check the surrounding environment. Carefully evaluate any hazards which
could be physical damage (transiting vehicles, parts of trees falling etc.), possible contact with
persons’bodies (insects, leaves, etc.), flooding hazards, or any other exceptional events.
2. Check the main voltage numbers is the same as the numbers that are given on the rating
plate and in this manual.
3. Check and make sure if there is suitable electrical protection against short circuits/power
spikes and proper earthed on the main supply.
Remember the unit having main voltage running through it (electrocution hazard, fire hazard).
4. Take care with the control unit; the parts may be subject to damage if the control unit is
abused.
5. Make sure that you have all the necessary materials, and they are suitable for this kind of
use.
6. Read all the instructions thoroughly, and make sure they are understood before attempting
to install the opener.
7. Before starting the installation carefully analyze all the risks relating to automating the door.
Verify that the door is automated in a sound condition and that the mechanisms are in good
working order. Observe the safety margins and minimum distances.
8. Carefully evaluate the safety devices to be installed and the right place to install them; always
install an emergency stop device for power interruption to the opener if it is required.
9. Once the risks have been analyzed, install the opener and relative safety devices,
emergency stop and/or photoelectric cells.
Important note:As for additional safety rules, we strongly recommends the fitting of Photo
Electric safety beams on all installations.
10. While installing the opener, strictly follow all the instructions given in the instruction manual.
If some points or procedures in this manual are not very clear, do not install the unit until all
doubts have been cleared up with our technical department.

re-engage the door simply run opener in automatic mode or move door by hand until the trolley
engages in the chain shuttle.
In some situations that a pedestrian door is not in state, it is recommended that an external
disengagement device should be fitted (Fig.20).
Maintenance
No particular maintenance is required for the logic circuit board.
Check the door at least twice a year if it is properly balanced and all working parts are in good
working condition or not.
Check the reversing sensitivity at least twice a year, and adjust if it is necessary.
Make sure that the safety devices are working effectively (photo beams, etc.)
Notice: A rude operating door can affect the life of the automatic opener due to incorrect
loads, and will void the warranty.
