6 - INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE END USER
Key Automation S.r.l. produces systems for the automation of gates,
garage doors, automatic doors, shutters, parking lots and road bar-
riers. However, Key Automation is not the manufacturer of your au-
tomation system, which is rather the result of a process of analysis,
evaluation, selection of materials, and installation performed by
your own installer. Each automated system is unique and only your
installer has the experience and professionalism required to create
a system to suit your needs, safe and reliable over time, and carried
out in a workmanlike manner, i.e. compliant with the current regula-
tions. Even if your automation system meets the security level re-
quired by law, this does not exclude the existence of "residual risks",
i.e. the possibility that it may cause dangerous situations, usually as
a result of improper or irresponsible use; for this reason we would
like to give you some suggestions:
• Before using the automation for the first time, ask the installer to
explain the origin of residual risks.
Keep this manual for future use and deliver it to any new owner of
the automation.
• Inappropriate or improper use of the automation can make it dan-
gerous: do not command the movement of the automation if people,
animals or things are in its range.
• Children: If properly designed, an automation system ensures a
high degree of security, preventing movement in the presence of
people or things with its detection systems, and ensuring always
predictable and safe activation. It is prudent to prevent children from
playing near the automation and keep remote controls out of their
reach to prevent accidental activation.
• Malfunctions: As soon as you notice any malfunctions, disconnect
the system from the power supply and operate the manual release.
Do not attempt any repairs by yourself, but require the assistance
of your installer: meanwhile, the system can operate like a non-au-
tomated opening device after releasing the motor reducer with the
release key supplied with the system.
• In case of failures or power failures: While awaiting the arrival of
your installer or the restore of the electricity, if the system is not
equipped with backup batteries, the automation can be operated
as any normal non-automated opening device. To do this, you must
run the manual release (only intervention on the automation allowed
to the user).
Release and manual movement: before performing this operation
pay attention that the device can be released only when the door is
stationary.
• Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation needs periodic
maintenance to ensure its long life and total safety. Agree with your
installer on a maintenance plan on a periodic basis; Key Automation
recommends a frequency of 6 months for normal domestic use, but
this period may vary depending on the intensity of use. All inspec-
tion, maintenance or repairs should be performed only by qualified
personnel.
• Do not change the system and control or programming parameters
of the automation: the responsibility lies with your installer.
• The testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be docu-
mented by the person who performs them, and related documents
must kept by the owner.
The only interventions that are possible for the user and should be
carried out periodically are the cleaning of the slides and photo-
cells, as well as the removal of any leaves or rocks that could hinder
the automation. To prevent anyone from activating the gate or door,
before proceeding, remember to release the automation and clean
only with a cloth slightly dampened with water.
• Disposal: At the end of the automation useful life, make sure that
the dismantling is carried out by qualified personnel and the mate-
rials are recycled or disposed of according to local regulations in
force.
• Operate the gate or door (with remote control, key switch, etc..);
if everything is working properly, the gate or the door will open and
close normally, otherwise the flashing light flashes and the maneu-
ver does not start.
With the safeties out of use, the automation must be repaired as
soon as possible.
Replacing the remote control battery: if your remote control seems
to work worse or not work at all after a while, this may simply de-
pend on the exhaustion of the battery (depending on use, it may
take several months to over a year). In that case, you will see that
the confirmation of transmission light does not turn on, or comes on
only briefly.
The batteries contain polluting substances: do not throw them in the
garbage but use the methods prescribed by local regulations.
