GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLERS

Important safety instructions.
Follow all of these instructions. Improper installation can cause serious bodily harm.
Before continuing, also read the general precautions for users.

Use this product only for its specifically intended use. Any other use is hazardous. The manufacturer can not be held liable for any damage caused by improper, unreasonable, and erroneous use. This manual’s product is defined by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE as partly-completed machinery.

Partly-completed machinery is an assembly that almost constitutes a machine, but which, alone, cannot ensure a clearly defined application. Partly- completed machinery is only destined to be incorporated or assembled to other machinery or other partly-completed machinery or apparatuses to build machinery that is regulated by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The final installation must comply with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the current European reference standards. The manufacturer declines any liability for using non-original products; which would result in warranty loss. All operations indicated in this manual must be carried out exclusively by skilled and qualified personnel and in full compliance with current regulations. Laying of cables, installation and testing must follow state-of-the-art procedures as dictated by applicable standards and laws.

Make sure the mains power supply is disconnected during all installation procedures. Check that the temperature ranges given and those of the location match. If necessary, add suitable reinforcements to the anchoring points. If necessary, add suitable reinforcements to the anchoring points.

Make sure that the operator, in the installation place, does not get wet by direct jets of water (sprinklers, water cleaners, etc.). Make sure you have set up a suitable dual pole cut off device along the power supply that is compliant with the installation rules. It should completely cut off the power supply according to category III surcharge conditions. Demarcate properly the entire site to prevent unauthorized personnel to enter; especially children and minors. In case of manual handling, have one person for every 20 kg that need hoisting; for non manual handling use proper hoisting equipment in safe conditions. Use suitable protections to prevent any mechanical hazards due to persons loitering within the operating range of the operator.

The electric cables must pass through special pipes, ducts and cable glands in order to guarantee adequate protection against mechanical damage. The electrical cables must not touch any parts that may overheat during use (such as the motor and the transformer). Before the installation, check that the guided part is in good mechanical condition, and that it opens and closes correctly. The product cannot automate any guided part that includes a pedestrian gate, unless the latter can be enabled only when the pedestrian gate is secured. Make sure that people cannot be entrapped between the guided and fixed parts, when the guided part is set in motion.

All fixed controls must be clearly visible after installation, in position that the guided part is directly visible, but far away from moving parts. In the case of a maintained action command, this must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the ground and must not be accessible to the public. If not already present, apply a permanent tag, that describes how to use the manual release mechanism, close to the mechanism.

Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted and that the safety and protection devices, and the manual release, are working properly. Before turning over to the final user, check that the system complies with the harmonized standards and the essential requisites of Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE. Any residual risks must be indicated clearly with proper signage affixed in visible areas. All of which must be explained to end users.

Fit, in plain sight, the machine’s ID plate when the installation is complete.

If the power-supply cable is damaged, it must be immediately replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorized technical assistance centre, or in any case, by qualified staff, to prevent any risk. Keep this manual inside the technical folder along with the manuals of all the other devices used for your automation system.

Remember to hand over to the end users all the operating manuals of the products that make up the final machinery.

Cable types and minimum thicknesses

CAME FROG-A Swing-gate operator Installation Guide - Cable types and minimum
thicknesses

*no. = see product mounting instructions – Warning: the cable section is merely indicative as it depends on the motor power and cable length.

When operating at 230 V and outdoors, use H05RN-F-type cables that are 60245 IEC 57 (IEC) compliant; whereas indoors, use H05VV-F-type cables that are 60227 IEC 53 (IEC) compliant. For power supplies up to 48 V, you can use FROR 20-22 II-type cables that comply with EN 50267-2-1 (CEI).
If cable lengths differ from those specified in the table, establish the cable sections depending on the actual power draw of the connected devices and according to the provisions of regulation CEI EN 60204-1.
For multiple, sequential loads along the same line, the dimensions on the table need to be recalculated according to the actual power draw and distances. For connecting products that are not contemplated in this manual, see the literature accompanying said products
