GENERAL ADVICE
Install a gate safety system in compliance with current
regulations.
Choose short routes for cables and keep power cables separate
from control cables.
Please refer to current regulations when setting the maximum
torque value of the gear motor.
As required by European safety standards, install a 6 Amp circuit
breaker up-line from the system in order to disconnect the power
supply when servicing the gate.
Check that each single device installed is effi cient and effective.
Put up legible signs warning of the presence of a motorised gate.
USE
Actuators P225 / P225BENC, P250 / P250BENC and P270 /
P270BENC are designed to move gates with a maximum length
of, respectively, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 metres.
It is expressly
forbidden to use the device for any other
purposes or under any other circumstances other than those
mentioned. The electronic control unit (which must be fitted with
an electric clutch) allows the following functions to be selected:
automatic :
a command impulse opens and shuts the gate
semiautomatic : a command impulse opens or shuts the gate.
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually
by activating the "manual release" device. Mod. P225BENC,
P250BENC and P270BENC can be powered by a buffer battery
and are able to perform at least 15 complete cycles (open and
close) on its own.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should
therefore be used with care. In particular:
•
do not touch with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
•
disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the actuator;
•
do not pull the plug out by its cable;
•
do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cool;
•
only operate the gate when it is completely visible;
•
do not approach the gate while it is moving;
•
do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
•
do not allow children or disabled people to use the remote
control or other operating devices;
•
carry out routine maintenance;
•
in the case of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only
move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so. Do not touch
the gate and call in an authorised technician.
MAINTENANCE
The actuators in the P200 series need very little maintenance.
However, as the gate must be in good working order for them to
work properly, the operations required to keep it in perfect condition
are described below.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance man, who
must be a specialised technician, must be able to use the
automatic system during maintenance.
Switch off the mains power supply to eliminate the risk of
electrocution. If the power supply must be left on for certain
operations, each control device should be checked or disabled
(remote controls, push button strips, etc.) except for the one used
by the maintenance man.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out when
necessary and always every 6 months for domestic use (approx.
3000 work cycles) and every 2 months for intensive use such as
blocks of flats (always 3000 work cycles).
Gate:
-
lubricate and grease the hinges of the gate.
Automation system:
-
check the safety devices (photocells, pneumatic edge, etc.)
work according to the manufacturer's instructions;
-
grease (with a greaser) the worm screw from underneath the
actuator (see fig.15); TAU srl recommends using the complex
lithium soap grease produced by SYNECO.
-
use a tester for lead-acid batteries to check whether the
battery is charged; if it needs replacing use an original battery
and recycle the flat one in compliance with current legislation
(alternatively, TAU srl recommends using FIAMM batteries).
N.B.: With use, a thin line of oxide may form on the actuator
stem. This is due to the materials addition when
welding the tube/stem. However, in NO WAY does this
affect the quality or normal operation of the gearmotor.
We recommend the stem be cleaned regularly using
special products for stainless steel.
Extraordinary maintenance or breakage
If major work on electromechanical parts must be carried out, the
faulty component should be removed and repaired in the workshop
by the maker's or other authorised technicians.
N.B.:
Keep all the documents concerning the system insi-
de or near the control unit.
