4.5 Initial operation
WARNING
Movable parts
Human body parts may get jammed and severely injured.
Keep human body parts away from movable parts.
L-movement requires initializing of compressed air system. The door
command must be set to open at first. This will pressurize the pneumatic
system and ensure the proper L-movement during the following closing
cycle
s
.
1. Open the door.
2. Close the door.

5 Operation
WARNING
Unqualified personnel
Inappropriate handling may cause serious injury or property damage.
Only qualified personnel are allowed to carry out the described work.
WARNING
Movable parts
Human body parts may get jammed and severely injured.
Do not operate before product is installed completely into the vacuum system.
Until actuation of the door keep human body parts away from movable parts.
NOTICE
Valve Damage
Incorrect operation causes damage of valve.
Do NOT operate valve in unmounted position and without gate.
During operation of the ATM door the pneumatic cylinders move the gate.

5.1 Normal operation
The door opens and closes pneumatically.
5.2 Operation under increased temperature
Maximum allowed temperature, see product data sheet.
5.3 Behavior in case of air pressure drop
See product data sheet.
L-movement requires initializing of compressed air system. The door
command must be set to open at first. This will pressurize the pneumatic
system and ensure the proper L-movement during the following closing
cycle
s
.
Proper function of internal nonreturn valve depends on speed of air pressure
drop. Slow pressure drop in air supply will not trigger the nonreturn valve,
therefore the position of the door will be undefined at loss of compressed air
pressure.
1. Open the door.
2. Close the door.
5.4 Behavior in case of power failure
Depending on customer’s installation.
