AUTOMATION DEVICE
INSTALLERS MANUAL
1 - GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
m
Prior to proceeding with installation, it is essential the
instructions be read in full, since they contain important
information regarding safety, installation, use and
maintenance.
AUTOMATION MUST BE IMPLEMENTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE EUROPEAN REGULATIONS IN FORCE:
EN 60204-1, EN 12445, EN 12453, EN 13241-1, EN 12635
• The installer must provide for a device (es. magnetotermical
switch) ensuring the omnipolar sectioning of the equipment
from the power supply. The standards require a separation of
the contacts of at least 3 mm in each pole (EN 60335-1).
• The plastic case has an IP44 insulation; to connect flexible or
rigid pipes, use pipefittings having the same insulation level.
• Installation requires mechanical and electrical skills, therefore it
shall be carried out by qualified personnel only, who can issue
the Compliance Certificate concerning the whole installation
(Machine Directive 2006/42/CEE, Annex IIA).
• Also the automation upstream electric system shall comply with
the laws and rules in force and be carried out workmanlike.
• We recommend to make use of an emergency button, to be
installed by the automation (connected to the control unit
STOP input) so that the gate may be immediately stopped in
case of danger.
• For correct installation of the system, we recommend following
the instructions issued by UNAC very carefully.
• This instruction manual is only for qualified technicians, who
specialize in installations and automations.
• The contents of this instruction manual do not concern the end
user.
• Every programming and/or every maintenance service should
be done only by qualified technicians.
• Anything not expressly described in these instructions is
prohibited; unforeseen uses may be a source of danger to
people and property.
• Do not install the product in explosive environments and
atmospheres: the presence of inflammable gases or fumes is a
serious safety hazard.
• Do not make any modifications to any part of the automation
device, or the accessories connected to it, unless described in
this manual.
• Any other modifications will void the warranty on the product.
• The installation steps should be conducted so as to avoid rainy
weather, which can expose electronic circuits to dangerous
water seepage.
• All operations requiring the casing of the device to opened
should be performed with the control unit disconnected from
the electricity supply and with a warning notice displayed, for
example: "CAUTION, MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS".
• Avoid exposing the device close to sources of heat and flame.
• In the event of interventions on automatic or differential
breakers or fuses, it is essential that faults be identified and
resolved prior to resetting. In the case of faults that cannot
be resolved using the information to be found in this manual,
consult the V2 customer assistance service.
• V2 declines all responsibility for failure to comply with good
construction practice standards in addition to structural
deformation of the gate that might occur during use.
• V2 reserves the right to make modifications to the product
without prior warning.
• Installation/maintenance personnel should wear individual
protection devices (IPDs), such as overalls, safety helmets, boots
and gloves.
• The ambient operating temperature should be that indicated in
the technical characteristics table.
• The automation device should be shut down immediately in
the event of any anomalous or hazardous situation; the fault
or malfunction should be immediately reported to the person
responsible.
• All safety and hazard warnings on the machinery and
equipment should be complied with.
• Electromechanical actuators for gates are not intended to be
used by people (including children) with diminished physical,
sensory or mental capacity, or lacking in experience or
knowledge, unless they are under supervision or have been
instructed in use of the actuator by a person responsible for
safety.
V2 has the right to modify the product without previous
notice; it also declines any responsibility to damage or
injury to people or things caused by improper use or wrong
installation.
