SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning

Safety instructions
Before installing the motor drive system, make sure that the driven part is in good working order, that it is correctly
balanced and that it opens and closes correctly.
Ensure that danger areas (where pinching, cutting, trapping may occur) between the driven parts and fixed surrounding
parts due to the opening motion of the driven part are avoided.
Retain a clear 500 mm space behind each gate section when the gate is fully opened.
Any switch that does not lock into position (interphone, key switch, etc.) must be located in plain view of the driven part
but away from the moving parts.
Any switch installed must be at a minimum height of 1.5 meters and not be accessible to the public, except if it works
with a key.
Ensure that the motor drive system cannot be used with gate section including a wicket gate inhibiting motion
(unless the motor drive cannot operate with the wicket gate open).
After installation, make sure that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual
release mechanism operate correctly.
Permanently affix the label describing the manual release mechanism close to its operating mechanism.
Wear protective glasses while performing drilling work.
We recommend providing the installation with a surge arrester (in compliance with standard NF C 61740, with a
maximum residual voltage of 2 kV).
In order to comply with standard EN 12453, an active edge sensor fitted with autotest electronics (Bircher Reglomat ref.
ELE040/080A0J0/1/XXXX/2 + ref.ESA25-24ACDC) must be installed on the motorisation. After installing the active edge
sensor, it is essential that a stress test be carried out using measurement equipment which conforms to the requirements
set out in clause 5.1.1 of standard EN 12445.
