in figg 8-9.
• Make sure that each installed device is in perfect working order.
7. UsE
The R18-R18BENC/L buried gear motor has been designed to move swing gates with a maximum wing length of 1,80 m. The R18BENCVEL buried
gear motor has been designed to move swing gates with a maximum wing length of 1,20 m. It is orbidden to use the equipment for other
purposes or in other circumstances than those mentioned herein.
The electronic control unit (which must feature a built-in electronic clutch) normally allows the following operating modes to be selected:
automatic: a control impulse opens and closes the gate;
semiautomatic:
a control impulse opens or closes the gate.
In the event of a power blackout, the gate will continue to work if it is fitted with a buffer battery; use the release device to operate the gate
manually.
Please bear in mind that this is an electrically powered automatic device which should therefore be used with care.
8. MAINTENANCE
To work properly, the gate must be in good working order; 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 sys-
tem 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:
- make sure the safety devices work properly (they must be efficient and trigger as set during installation);
- grease the unlock unit periodically with the grease nipple.
- inspect the inside of the foundation box periodically to check rain water drains correctly and to avoid the stagnation of water or other
deposits (leaves, paper, etc.).
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.
CAUTION: If the weight of the gate is placed directly on the foundation box, the bush needs to be replaced every 200,000 cycles (image 2 - no. 4).
N.B.: Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or near the control unit.
