AUTOMATION MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE EUROPEAN REGULATIONS IN FORCE:
EN 60204-1 (Machinery safety. electrical equipment of
machines, part 1: general rules)
EN 12445 (Safe use of automated locking devices, test
methods)
EN 12453 (Safe use of automated locking devices,
requirements)
• The installer must provide for a device (es. magnetotermical
switch) ensuring the omnipolar sectioning of the equipment
from the power supply.
The standards require a separation of the contacts of at
least 3 mm in each pole (EN 60335-1).
• The plastic case has an IP55 insulation; to connect flexible or
rigid pipes, use pipefittings having the same insulation level.
• Installation requires mechanical and electrical skills, therefore it

• Hinges and pins are in optimum condition and properly
greased.
• No obstacles are within the moving area.
• There is no friction with the ground or between the leaves.
• The stop limit switch must be installed inside the foundation
box (see paragraph about Installation of the stop limit switches)
