General Safety Precautions - DITEC Rex Serie Manual De Instalacion Y Manutencion

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This installation manual is intended for professionally
competent personnel only.
Installation, electrical connections and adjustments must be
performed in accordance with Good Working Methods and in
compliance with applicable regulations.
Before installing the product, carefully read the instructions. Bad
installation could be hazardous.
The packaging materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) should not
be discarded in the environment or left within reach of children,
as these are a potential source of hazard.
Before installing the product, make sure it is in perfect condi-
tion.
Do not install the product in an explosive environment and atmos-
phere: gas or inflammable fumes are a serious hazard risk.
Before installing the motors, make all structural changes relating
to safety clearances and protection or segregation of all areas
where there is risk of being crushed, cut or dragged, and danger
areas in general.
Make sure the existing structure is up to standard in terms of
strength and stability.
The motor manufacturer is not responsible for failure to use
Good Working Methods in building the frames to be motorised
or for any deformation occurring during use.
The safety devices (photocells, safety edges, emergency stops,
etc.) must be installed taking into account: applicable laws and
directives, Good Working Methods, installation premises, sys-
tem operating logic and the forces developed by the motorised
door or gate.
The safety devices must protect any areas where the risk exists
of being crushed, cut or gragged, or where there are any other
risks generated by the motorised door or gate. Apply hazard
area notices required by applicable regulations.
Each installation must clearly show the identification details of
the motorised door or gate.
Before making power connections, make sure the plate
details correspond to those of the power mains.
Fit an omnipolar disconnection switch with a contact opening
gap of at least 3 mm. Make sure an adequate residual current
circuit breaker and overcurrent cutout are fitted upstream of the
electrical system.
When necessary, connect the motorised door or gate to a reli-
able earth system made in accordance with applicable safety
regulations. During installation, maintenance and repair, interrupt
the power supply before opening the lid to access the electrical
parts.
To handle electronic parts, wear earthed antistatic conduc-
tive bracelets.
The motor manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event
of component parts being fitted that are not compatible with the
safe an correct operation.
For repairs or replacements of products only original spare parts
must be used.
The installer shall provide all information relating to automatic,
manual and emergency operation of the motorised door or gate,
and provide the user with operating instructions.
MACHINERY DIRECTIVE
Pursuant to Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who
motorises a door or gate has the same obligations as the manu-
facturer of machinery and as such must:
- prepare the technical file which must contain the documents
indicated in Annex V of the Machinery Directive; (The techni-
cal file must be kept and placed at the disposal of competent
national authorities for at least ten years from the date of
manufacture of the motorised door);
- draft the EC declaration of conformity in accordance with
Annex II-A of the Machinery Directive and deliver it to the
customer;
- affix the CE marking on the power operated door in accord-
ance with point 1.7.3 of Annex I of the Machinery Directive.

APPLICATIONS
Maximum permissible weight and recommended weight:
see TECHNICAL DATA
Service life: 5 (minimum 5 years of working life with 600 cycles
a day)
Applications: HEAVY DUTY (For vehicle or pedestrian ac-
cesses to institutional complexes with very intense use).
- Performance characteristics are to be understood as refer-
ring to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum
permissible weight). A reduction in performance is to be ex-
pected when the access is made to operate at the maximum
permissible weight.
- Service class, running times, and the number of consecu-
tive cycles are to be taken as merely indicative having been
statistically determined under average operating conditions,
and are therefore not necessarily applicable to specific condi-
tions of use. During given time spans product performance
characteristics will be such as not to require any special
maintenance.
- The actual performance characteristics of each automatic
access may be affected by independent variables such as
friction, balancing and environmental factors, all of which
may substantially alter the performance characteristics of the
automatic access or curtail its working life or parts thereof
(including the automatic devices themselves). When setting
up, specific local conditions must be duly borne in mind and
the installation adapted accordingly for ensuring maximum
durability and trouble-free operation.

(VA) - ITALY
Herewith declares that the electromechanical automatic system
for sliding doors series REX
- is intended to be incorpored into machinery or to be assem-
bled with other machinery to constitute machinery convered
by Directive 98/37/EC;
- is in conformity with the provisions of the following other EEC
directives:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336/EEC;
Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC;
and furthermore declares that it is not allowed to put the machinery
into service until the machinery into which it is to be incorporated
or of which it is to be a component has been found and declared
to be in conformity with the provisions of Directive 98/37/EC and
with national implementing legislation.
