1.1 SAFETY PRESCRIPTIONS
This installation manual is addressed exclusively
to professionally skilled personnel. Read all the
instructions carefully before starting the installation
procedures. Any operations that are not expressly
set down in these instructions are to be considered
prohibited; improper use may result in damage to
the product and place persons and property at
risk.
The manufacturer declines all liability for failure
to observe best practices in gate construction
and for any possible deformation that may occur
during use of the product. Store this manual in a
safe place for future reference. The design and
construction of the devices of which model RAM is
composed and this manual are in full compliance
with statutory legislation.
In consideration of potential hazards that may
arise during the installation and use of RAM, the
installation procedures must be carried out in full
compliance with the applicable laws, standards
and regulations; namely:
1.2 INSTALLATION PRESCRIPTIONS
• Before starting the installation procedures
make sure you have any additional devices
and materials that may be required to complete
the RAM gate opener in consideration of the
specific application.
• The gate opener must not be used until the
system has been commissioned as specified
in heading:
• Dispose of packaging materials in compliance
with local regulations.
1.3 OPERATING PRESCRIPTIONS
• No modifications can be made to any part of
the product unless specified in this manual.
Unauthorized modification of the product is
likely to lead to malfunctions. The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage caused by
unauthorized modifications.
• The parts of the automation system must never
be immersed in water or other liquids. During
the installation procedures ensure that no liquids
penetrate inside the control unit or other open
devices.
• If liquids penetrate any parts of the automation
system disconnect the electrical power supply
immediately and consult Comunello technical
service; the use of RAM in such conditions may
give rise to potentially hazardous situations.
• Keep all parts of the RAM gate opener away
from heat sources and open flames; exposure
to heat or flames may damage the devices and
cause faults, fire, or hazardous situations.
• When the equipment remains unused for a long
time, remove the optional battery and store it
in a dry place to avoid the risk of leakage of
harmful substances.
• Connect the control unit exclusively to an
electrical power supply line equipped with an
efficient protective earth conductor.
• Any operations that require the housing of
RAM to be opened must be performed with
the control unit and the electrical power supply
disconnected; if the disconnect device is not
clearly visible from where you are working,
attach a warning notice to the effect: "WARNING
- MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS".
• In the case of tripping of circuit breakers or
blowing of fuses, find the fault and remedy it
before resetting the circuit breaker or changing
the fuse.
• If the fault cannot be remedied using the
information given in this manual, consult
technical service.
