To install the Fadini Dardo 424 Electromechanical operator for swinging gates, follow these steps:
1. Before installation, assess the suitability of the access, its general condition, and the structure. Make sure there is no risk of impact, crushing, shearing, conveying, cutting, entangling, and lifting situations that may endanger people's safety.
2. Do not install the operator near any source of heat and avoid contact with flammable substances.
3. Keep all accessories that can turn on the operator (transmitters, proximity readers, key-switches, etc.) out of the reach of children.
4. Transit through the access only with the stationary operator.
5. Do not allow children and/or people to stand in the proximity of a working operator.
6. Install photocells, sensitive edges, magnetic loops, and detectors to ensure safety in the whole movement area of the gate.
7. Use yellow-black strips or proper signals to identify dangerous spots.
8. Before cleaning and maintenance operations, disconnect the appliance from the mains by switching off the master switch.
9. If removing the actuator, do not cut the electric wires, but disconnect them from the terminal box by loosening the screws inside the junction box.
10. All installation operations must be performed by a qualified technician, following the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE and safety regulations EN 12453 - EN 12445.
11. Verify the presence of a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker 0.03 A - 230 V - 50 Hz upstream of the installation.
12. Use appropriate objects to test the correct functionality of safety accessories such as photocells, sensitive edges, etc.
13. Carry out a risk analysis by measuring the crushing and impact force of the main opening and closing edge in compliance with EN 12445. Identify the appropriate solution to eliminate and reduce such risks.
14. If the gate to automate is equipped with a pedestrian entrance, prepare the system to prohibit the operation of the engine when the pedestrian entrance is used.
15. Apply safety nameplates with CE marking on the gate to warn about the presence of an automated installation.
16. The installer must inform and instruct the end user about the proper use of the system by providing a technical dossier, including layout and components of the installation, risk analysis, verification of safety accessories, verification of impact forces, and reporting of residual risks.
17. The end user should establish a written maintenance contract with the installer/maintenance technician. Any maintenance operation must be done by qualified technicians.
