automatic : a command impulse opens and closes the gate;
semiautomatic : a command impulse opens or closes the gate.
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually by activating the "manual release" device. The model ARM3000BI can be pow-
ered by a backup battery and is able to perform at least 15 complete cycles (open and close) with a fully charged battery.
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.
12. MAINTENANCE
To ensure trouble-free operation and a constant safety level, an overall check of the system should be carried out every 6 months.
A form for recording operations has been included in the "User Guide" booklet.
ATTENTION: no one, except a trained gate system technician, may 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 buttons, etc.) except for the one used by the trained gate system technician.
The ARM3000IFC / ARM3000BI gate operators 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.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out every 6 months for domestic use (approx. 3000 work cycles) and every 2 months for inten-
sive use such as apartment blocks (always 3000 work cycles).
WARNING: In the event installation is to take place in areas exposed to a great deal of sea spray and/or sand (maritime re-
gions, desert zones, etc.), maintenance will need to be performed at shorter intervals, every 2/3 months.
Gate:
-
lubricate and grease hinges and pivot points.
Automation system:
-
check that safety devices (photocells, safety edges, etc.) work according to the manufacturer's instructions;
-
grease the worm screw from underneath the actuator; TAU srl recommends using the complex lithium soap grease, Code M-OILG0NY640M.
-
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 old
one in compliance with current legislation (TAU recommends using FIAMM batteries).
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
manufacturer or other authorised technicians.
Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or near the control unit.
13. SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
There is no special application other than the described use.
14. NOISE LEVELS
Airborne noise generated by the gear-motor in normal operating conditions is constant and does not exceed 70 dB.
15. GUARANTEE: GENERAL CONDITIONS
TAU guarantees this product for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase (as proved by the sales document, receipt or invoice).
This guarantee covers the repair or replacement at TAU's expense (ex-works TAU: packing and transport at the customer's expense) of parts that

For visits to the customer's facilities, also during the guarantee period, a "Call-out fee" will be charged for travelling expenses and labour costs.
The guarantee does not cover the following cases:
•
If the fault was caused by an installation that was not performed according to the instructions provided by the company inside the prod-
uct pack.
•
If original TAU spare parts were not used to install the product.
•
If the damage was caused by an Act of God, tampering, overvoltage, incorrect power supply, improper repairs, incorrect installation, or
other reasons that do not depend on TAU.
•
If a specialised maintenance man does not carry out routine maintenance operations according to the instructions provided by the com-
pany inside the product pack.
•
Wear of components.
The repair or replacement of pieces under guarantee does not extend the guarantee period.
In case of industrial, professional or similar use, this warranty is valid for 12 months.
