General Safety Precautions - DITEC Dod123 Manual De Instalacion Y Manutencion

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This installation manual is intended for professionally com-
petent personnel only. Installation, electrical connections
and adjustments must be performed in accordance with Good
Working Methods and in compliance with applicable regulations.
Before installing the product, carefully read the instructions. Bad
installation could be hazardous.
The packaging materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) should not
be discarded in the environment or left within reach of children,
as these are a potential source of hazard. Before installing the
product, make sure it is in perfect condition.
Do not install the product in an explosive environment and
atmosphere: gas or infl ammable fumes are a serious hazard
risk. Before installing the motors, make all structural changes
relating t o safety clearances and protection or segregation of
all areas where there is risk of being crushed, cut or dragged,
and danger areas in general.
Make sure the existing structure is up to standard in terms of
strength and stability. The motor manufacturer is not responsible
for failure to use Good Working Methods in building the frames
to be motorised or for any deformation occurring during use.
The safety devices (photocells, safety edges, emergency stops,
etc.) must be installed taking into account: applicable laws and
directives, Good Working Methods, installation premises, system
operating logic and the forces developed by the motorised door
or gate. The safety devices must protect any areas where the
risk exists of being crushed, cut or gragged, or where there are
any other risks generated by the motorised door or gate. Apply
hazard area notices required by applicable regulations.
Each installation must clearly show the identifi cation details of
the motorised door or gate.
Before making power connections, make sure the plate details
correspond to those of the power mains.Fit an omnipolar di-
sconnection switch with a contact opening gap of at least 3 mm.
Make sure an adequate residual current circuit breaker
and overcurrent cutout are fi tted upstream of the electrical
system. When necessary, connect the motorised door or gate
to a reliable earth system made in accordance with applicable
safety regulations. During installation, maintenance and repair,
interrupt the power supply before opening the lid to access the
electrical parts.
To handle electronic parts, wear earthed antistatic con-
ductive bracelets.
The motor manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event
of component parts being fi tted that are not compatible with the
safe an correct operation.
For repairs or replacements of products only original spare parts
must be used. The installer shall provide all information relating
to automatic, manual and emergency operation of the motorised
door or gate, and provide the user with operating instructions.
MACHINE DIRECTIVE
Pursuant to Machine Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who mo-
torises a door or gate has the same obligations as a machine
manufacturer and shall:
- prepare technical documentation containing the documents
indicated on Schedule V of the Machine Directive;
(The technical documentation shall be kept and placed at
the disposal of competent national authorities for at least ten
years starting on the date of manufacture of the motorised
door);
- draw up the EC declaration of conformity according to Sche-
dule II-A of the Machine Directive;
- affi x the CE mark on the motorised door pursuant to para.
1.7.3 of Schedule I of the Machine Directive.

documentation" available on Internet at the following address:

APPLICATIONS
DOD123
Service life: 4 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 100÷200
cycles a day).
Applications: HEAVY DUTY (For all special applications with
ongoing use such as toll gates and so on).
- Performance characteristics are to be understood as refer-
ring to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum
permissible weight). A reduction in performance is to be ex-
pected when the access is made to operate at the maximum
permissible weight.
- Service class, running times, and the number of consecu-
tive cycles are to be taken as merely indicative having been
statistically determined under average operating conditions,
and are therefore not necessarily applicable to specifi c condi-
tions of use. During given time spans product performance
characteristics will be such as not to require any special
maintenance.
- The actual performance characteristics of each automatic
access may be affected by independent variables such as
friction, balancing and environmental factors, all of which
may substantially alter the performance characteristics of the
automatic access or curtail its working life or parts thereof
(including the automatic devices themselves). When setting
up, specifi c local conditions must be duly borne in mind and
the installation adapted accordingly for ensuring maximum
durability and trouble-free operation.
