MAINTENANCE
The gearmotors in the ZIP serie need very little maintenance. How-
ever, to ensure it always works properly, the gate has to be in good
condition.
Attention: no one, except the person who services the equipment
(who must be a specialised technician), should be able to command
the automatism during servicing. Consequently, it is advisable to turn
the electricity off at the mains also to avoid possible electric shocks.
If the electricity has to be on for certain checks, check or disable all
command devices (remote controls, push button panels, etc.) except
for the device being used by the maintenance person.
Automation system
•
Keep oiled the jointed arm's pin, the boss that works coupled to the
motor output shaft and all parts subject to wear due to friction.
•
Check how the safety devices are working (pneumatic edge,
torque limiter, etc.).
Routine maintenance
•
Each of the following operations must be carried out when neces-
sary and always 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).
Extraordinary maintenance or breaks
•
If there are any complex jobs that need be done on electrome-
chanical parts, it is advisable to remove the actuator so that it can
be repaired in the workshop by the manufacturer or its authorised
technicians.
ANNEX (fig. 11 - fig. 12)
SAFETY DISTANCES FOR AUTOMATIC GATES
•
The distance A (fig.11) between the jamb and the upright next to
the gate must remain constant when the gate rotates. If this varies,
the maximum distance must be 25 mm up the whole height of the
gate; if this is not the case, fill in the extra space for the total height
of the gate up to a maximum of 2.5 m.
•
The distance B (fig.11) between the floor and the leaf must be mini-
mum 50 mm, if distance B varies due to sloping ground, the fitter
must take steps to reduce the danger of people or objects getting
trapped.
•
In a two-leaf gate, the distance C (fig.12) between the two closed
leafs must be at least 2,5 cm; this space can be covered by install-
ing a pneumatic edge on the side of the leaf or fitting a deformable
flexible element in the free space. If this space is smaller or absent,
the two leafs must be closed in sequence so as to leave a clear-
ance D (fig.12) of 50 cm.
SAFE INSTALLATION HINTS
Man present operation: an emergency stop device and a flashing
light is sufficient
Automatic or semiautomatic operation: install a flashing light and
adjust motor torque as described below; if this is not possible, fit a
pneumatic edge.
•
fit one photocell at both gate's sides thus limiting the gate's operat-
ing range. If the leafs overlap due to a stop profile they must be put
out of phase (distance D fig. 12).
For all operation types: If the leaf stops during the opening phase at
a distance (see figure on the previous page) of less than 40 cm with
respect to a fixed obstacle (wall, pillar, etc.), a pneumatic edge must be
fitted to the leaf or the fixed part as follows:
1 - if the obstacle is higher than it is wide apply the edge (for the whole
length of the obstacle) at a height of between 40 and 60 cm from
the ground;
2 - if the obstacle is wider than it is high and is lower than 60cm apply
the edge 5 cm from the upper edge of the obstacle.
CHARACTERISTICS, ADJUSTMENT AND INSTALLATION OF
SAFETY DEVICES
Photocells :
•
These are fitted at a height varying from 40 and 60 cm from the
ground at a max. distance of 10 cm calculated from the edge of the
open leaf and from the edge of the closed gate.
Sensitive safety edge
•
In the simplest cases there must be Normally Closed (NC) con-
tacts;
•
Minimum deformation must be at least 1 cm greater than the stop-
ping distance of the gate from when the device cut in
Torque limiting device
•
This must be adjusted so that the gate stops in the presence of
a mechanical resistance of 150 N (about 15 Kg) measured on its
edge as long as the kinetic force of the leaf is not greater than 10J.

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 invoice).
This guarantee covers the repair or replacement at TAU's expense
(ex-works TAU: packing and transport at the customer's expense) of
parts that TAU recognises as being faulty as regards workmanship or
materials.
For visits to the customer's facilities, also during the guarantee pe-
riod, a "Call-out fee" will be charged for travelling expenses and labour
costs.
The guarantee does not cover the following cases:
•
If the fault was caused by an installation that was not per-
formed according to the instructions provided by the company
inside the product pack.
•
If original TAU spare parts were not used to install the product.
•
If the damage was caused by an Act of God, tampering, over-
voltage, incorrect power supply, improper repairs, incorrect in-
stallation, or other reasons that do not depend on TAU.
•
If a specialised maintenance man does not carry out routine
maintenance operations according to the instructions provided
by the company inside the product pack.
•
Wear of components.
The repair or replacement of pieces under guarantee does not extend
the guarantee period.
In case of industrial, professional or similar use, this warranty is valid
for 12 months.
