8 - INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS FOR THE END USER

Key Automation S.r.l. produces systems for the automation of gates,
garage doors, automatic doors, roller blinds and car-park and road
barriers. However, Key Automation is not the manufacturer of your
complete automation system, which is the outcome of the analysis,
assessment, choice of materials and installation work of your cho-
sen installer. Every automation system is unique, and only your
installer has the experience and skill required to produce a safe,
reliable, durable system tailored to your needs, and above all that
complies with the relevant regulatory standards. Although your au-
tomation system complies with the regulation safety level, this does
not rule out the presence of "residual risk", meaning the possibility
that hazards may occur, usually due to reckless or even incorrect
use. We would therefore like to give you some advice for the correct
use of the system:
• before using the automation system for the first time, have the
installer explain the potential causes of residual risks to you;
• keep the manual for future reference, and pass it on to any new
owner of the automation system;
• reckless use and misuse of the automation system may make it
dangerous: do not operate the automation system with people, ani-
mal or objects within its range of action;
• a properly designed automation system has a high level of safety,
since its sensor systems prevent it from moving with people or ob-
stacles present so that its operation is always predictable and safe.
However, as a precaution children should not be allowed to play clo-
se to the automation system, and to prevent involuntary activation,
remote controls must not be left within their reach;
• as soon as any system malfunction is noticed, disconnect the
electricity supply and perform the manual release procedure. Never
attempt repairs on your own; call in your installation engineer. In
the meantime the door or gate can be operated without automation
once the geared motor has been released using the release key
supplied with the system. In the event of safety devices out of servi-
ce arrange for repairs to the automation immediately;
• in the event of malfunctions or power failures: while waiting for the
engineer to come (or for the power to be restored if your system is
not equipped with buffer batteries), the door or gate can be used just
like any non-automated installation. To do this, the manual release
procedure must be carried out;
• manual release and operation: first bear in mind that the release
procedure can only be carried out with the door or gate stationery.
• Maintenance: Like any machine, your automation system needs
regular periodic maintenance to ensure its long life and total safety.
Arrange a periodic maintenance schedule with your installation
engineer. Key Automation recommends that maintenance checks
should be carried out every six months for normal domestic use, but
this interval may vary depending on the level of use. Any inspection,
maintenance or repair work must only be carried out by qualified
staff.
• Never modify the automation system or its programming and setup
parameters: this is the responsibility of your installation engineer.
• Testing, routine maintenance and any repairs must be recorded by
the person who performs them and the documents must be conser-
ved by the system's owner.
The only procedures you are capable of, and which you are recom-
mended to perform, are cleaning of the photocell glass and removal
of any leaves or stones that may obstruct the automation system.
To prevent anyone from activating the gate or door, release the au-
tomation system before starting. Clean only with a cloth dipped in
a little water.
At the end of its useful life, the automation system must be disman-
tled by qualified personnel, and the materials must be recycled or
disposed of in compliance with the legislation locally in force.
If after some time your remote control seems to have become less
effective, or stops operating completely, the battery may be flat (de-
pending on the level of use, this may take from several months up
to more than a year). You will realise this because the transmission
confirmation light does not come on, or only lights up for a very
short time.
Batteries contain pollutants: do not dispose of them with normal wa-
ste but follow the methods specified by the local regulations.
