In the event control pushbuttons or indicator lights
are installed inside homes or offices several metres
from the actual control unit, it is advisable to decou-
ple the signal by means of a relay in order to avoid
induced interference.
START-UP
ATTENTION: Cut power before any job on the sys-
tem or on the actuator.
Carefully observe points 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the SAFETY
GENERAL RULES.
With reference to the indications in fig.3 and in the table (see para-
graph INSTALLATION), set the ducts and carry out the electrical
connections of the control board and of the chosen accessories.
Choose short routes for cables and keep power cables separate
from control cables.
1) Power the system and check the status of the LED's according
to the control unit instructions.
2) Program the control board according to the needs by following
the given instructions.
TESTING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
• Carefully check operating efficiency of the automated system
and of all accessories connected to it, paying special attention
to the safety devices.
• Hand the "User Guide" to the final user together with the Main-
tenance register.
• Explain correct operation and use of the automated system to
the user.
• Indicate the potentially dangerous areas of the automated sys-
tem to the user.
MANUAL RELEASE
If the automated system needs to be moved manually due to a
power lack or to an actuator malfunction, proceed as follows:
1_ Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the
event of a power lack).
2_ Slide the protective cap, fig.16;
3_ Insert the key and turn it 90°, fig.17.
4_ As shown in fig.18, rotate the release lever upward in order to
release the actuator.
5_ Open or close the leaf manually.
Note: To hold the actuator in manual operation the
release device should be left in its current positions
and the system should be without power.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To restore normal operating conditions, proceed as follows:
1_ Lock the release lever by rotating it downward.
2_ Turn 90° the release key and remove it.
3_ Close the protection cover.
4_ Power up the system and perform some movements in order to
check the correct restoring of every function of the automated
system.
USE
Actuators ARM225I - ARM225BI, ARM250I - ARM250BI e AR-
M270I – ARM270BI are designed to move gates with a maximum
length of, respectively, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 metres.
It is expressly forbidden to use the device for any other pur-
poses or under any other circumstances other than those
mentioned. The electronic control unit (which must be fitted with
an electric clutch) allows the following functions to be selected:
automatic : a command impulse opens and shuts the gate
semiautomatic : a command impulse opens or shuts the gate.
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually by
activating the "manual release" device. Mod. ARM200BENC can
be powered by a buffer battery and is able to perform at least 15
complete cycles (open and close) on its own.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should there-
fore be used with care. In particular:
• do not touch with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
• disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the actuator;
• do not pull the plug out by its cable;
• do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cool;
• only operate the gate when it is completely visible;
• do not approach the gate while it is moving;
• do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
• do not allow children or disabled people to use the remote
control or other operating devices;
• carry out routine maintenance;
• in the case of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only
move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so. Do not touch
the gate and call in an authorised technician.
MAINTENANCE
To censure trouble-free operation and a constant safety level, an
overall check of the system should be carried out every 6 months.
A form for recording operations has been included in the "User
Guide" booklet.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance
man, who must be a specialised technician, must
be able to use the automatic system during main-
tenance.
Switch off the mains power supply to eliminate the risk of elec-
trocution. If the power supply must be left on for certain opera-
tions, each control device should be checked or disabled (remote
controls, push button strips, etc.) except for the one used by the
maintenance man.
The ARM200 / ARM200BENC actuators need very little mainte-
nance. However, as the gate must be in good working order for
them to work properly, the operations required to keep it in perfect
condition are described below.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out 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).
WARNING: In the event installation is to take place
in areas exposed to a great deal of sea spray and/or
sand (maritime regions, desert zones, etc.), mainte-
nance will need to be performed at shorter intervals,
every 2/3 months.
Gate:
- lubricate and grease the hinges of the gate.
Automation system:
- check the safety devices (photocells, pneumatic edge, etc.)
work according to the manufacturer's instructions;
- grease (with a greaser) the worm screw from underneath the
actuator (see fig.12); TAU srl recommends using the complex
lithium soap grease produced by SYNECO.
- use a tester for lead-acid batteries to check whether the bat-
tery is charged; if it needs replacing use an original battery and
recycle the flat one in compliance with current legislation (alter-
natively, TAU srl recommends using FIAMM batteries).
Note: with use, a thin line of oxide may form on the
actuator stem. This is due to the materials addition
when welding the tube/stem. However, in NO WAY
does this affect the quality or normal operation of
the gearmotor. We recommend the stem be cleaned
regularly using special products for stainless steel.
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.
Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or near
the control unit.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
There is no special application other than the described use.
NOISE LEVELS
Airborne noise generated by the gearmotor in normal operating
conditions is constant and does not exceed 70 dB.
GUARANTEE: GENERAL CONDITIONS
TAU guarantees this product for a period of 24 months from the
date of purchase (as proved by the sales document, receipt or in-
voice).
This guarantee covers the repair or replacement at TAU's expense
