Further information
This chapter will discuss possible customisation, diagnostics and troubleshoot-
ing for the product.
A - Example of interface connection to a unit with no "Alt" input with
constant resistance at 8.2 kohms
If the unit does not have a NC "Alt" input, it is possible to modify the "Alt" output
on the IRW interface so that it can become a constant resistance output at 8.2
kohms, as shown in fig. 10.
B - What to do if... (troubleshooting)
• The automation always reverses or stops the manoeuvre before end-
ing it.
- If the interface is connected to the "Phototest" output on the unit, read para-
graph 4.1 and point 04 in particular. Then try choosing a higher manoeuvre
time in Table 1 and setting it in all the sensors present.
- Ensure the correct radio reception of the sensor by performing the "check
operation" procedure (paragraph 7.3).
• The automation does not stop and does not reverse the manoeuvre
when the sensitive edge intervenes.
- Ensure the correct installation of the sensor by performing the "check opera-
tion" procedure (paragraph 7.3).
- Check that, after pressure on the edge, the automation reacts as required.
• The automation does not start even if the sensitive edge has not in-
tervened.
- Check the interface LED signal. It could be a low battery or radio interference.
- Check that, after pressure on the edge, the automation reacts as required.
C - Maintenance
No special measures are required for maintenance of the system devices. A
check is required at least every six months to verify the condition of the devices
(presence of moisture, rust etc.). They must be cleaned on the outside and the
system tested again, following the procedure described in the "Testing" chapter.
In TCW2 sensors, check that the surface occupied by the solar cell is cleaned
on a more regular basis, to ensure maximum efficiency for charging.
The system devices are designed to operate, under normal conditions, for at
least ten years. After this period, it is advisable to increase the frequency of
10 – English
maintenance.
C.1 - Replacing the batteries
The rechargeable battery of the TCW2 sensor may lose capacity after 4-5 years
of operation, leading to frequent low battery signals (the red "A" LED flashes,
indicating that the battery must be replaced).
The non-rechargeable batteries for the TCW1 sensor must be replaced at the
first sign of a low battery ("A" LED turns red).
To replace the batteries in the two types of sensor, refer to fig. 11 and the fol-
lowing instructions:
• Before starting work, ensure that the automation is at a standstill.
• Insert the new batteries, making sure the polarity is correct.
• When the new batteries have been inserted, check system operation as de-
scribed in steps 05 and 06 of chapter 6 - "Testing".
D - Disposal
As in installation operations, at the end of the product's lifespan, disposal opera-
tions must be performed by qualified personnel. This product consists of various
types of materials. Some can be recycled while others must be disposed of.
Find out about recycling or disposal systems required by local regulations for
this product category. Warning: some parts of the product may contain pollut-
ing or hazardous substances which, if released into the environment, may have
damaging effects on the environment or on human health.
As indicated by the symbol appearing here, the product may not
be disposed of with other household waste. Dispose of it sepa-
rately in accordance with the methods required under the regu-
lations in effect in your area, or give it back to the seller when
you purchase an equivalent new product. Local regulations may
provide for heavy fines if the product is disposed of inappropriately.
Warning: the product contains batteries, which may contain pollutants and
therefore should not be thrown away with household waste. After removing
them from the product (see paragraph C.1 - "Replacing the batteries"), they
must be disposed of according to the methods set out for batteries in local
regulations.
