tau ARM3000 Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento página 15

• Hand the "User Guide" to the end user together with the Main-
tenance register.
• Explain correct operation and use of the gate operator to the
end user.
• Indicate the potentially dangerous areas of the gate operator to
the end user.
MANUAL RELEASE
If the gate operator needs to be moved manually due to a power
failure or to an actual malfunction, proceed as follows:
1_ Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the
event of a power failure).
2_ Slide the protective cap, pic. 16;
3_ Insert the key and turn it 90°, pic. 17.
4_ As shown in pic.18, rotate the release lever upward in order to
release the actuator.
5_ Open or close the leaf manually.
Note: To keep the gate operator in manual operation
the release device must be left in its current position
and power must be disconnected.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To reengage the gate operator, proceed as follows:
1_ Lock the release lever by rotating it downward.
2_ Turn 90° the release key and remove it.
3_ Close the protection cover.
4_ Power up the system and perform some movements in order to
check the correct restoring of every function.
USE
It is expressly forbidden to use the device for any other pur-
poses or under any other circumstances other than those
mentioned. The electronic control unit (which must feature an
electric clutch) allows the following functions to be selected:
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 powered 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 there-
fore 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
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 electro-
cution. If the power supply must be left on for certain operations,
each control device should be checked or disabled (remote con-
trols, 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 per-
fect 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 intensive 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 regions, desert zones, etc.), mainte-
nance 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 rec-
ommends using the complex lithium soap grease produced by
SYNECO.
- use a tester for lead-acid batteries to check whether the bat-
tery 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.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
There is no special application other than the described use.
NOISE LEVELS
Airborne noise generated by the gear-motor in normal operating
conditions is constant and does not exceed 70 dB.
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 in-
voice).
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 TAU recognises as being faulty as regards workman-
ship or materials.
For visits to the customer's facilities, also during the guarantee pe-
riod, 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 per-
formed according to the instructions provided by the com-
pany inside the product pack.
• If original TAU spare parts were not used to install the prod-
uct.
• If the damage was caused by an Act of God, tampering,
overvoltage, incorrect power supply, improper repairs, in-
correct 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 pro-
vided by the company inside the product pack.
• Wear of components.
The repair or replacement of pieces under guarantee does not ex-
tend the guarantee period.
In case of industrial, professional or similar use, this warranty is
valid for 12 months.
