Maintenance - tau R18 Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

USE
The R18-R18BENC buried gear motor has been designed to
move swing gates with a maximum wing length of 1,80 m. The
R18BENCVEL buried gear motor has been designed to move
swing gates with a maximum wing length of 1,20 m. It is orbidden
to use the equipment for other purposes or in other circum-
stances than those mentioned herein.
The electronic control unit (which must feature a built-in elec-
tronic clutch) normally allows the following operating modes to
be selected:
automatic: a control impulse opens and closes the gate;
semiautomatic: a control impulse opens or closes the gate.
In the event of a power blackout, the gate will continue to work if it
is fitted with a buffer battery; use the release device to operate the
gate manually.
Please bear in mind that this is an electrically powered automatic
device which should therefore be used with care. In particular:
• Do not touch the device with wet hands and/or bare or wet feet;
• Disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the actuator;
• Do not remove the plug by pulling on the lead;
• Do not touch the motor unless you are sure it has cooled down;
• Only move the gate when it is completely visible;
• Do not approach the gate while it is moving: wait until it has
stopped;
• Do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
• Do not allow children or unauthorised people to use the remote
control or other control devices;
• Carry out routine maintenance;
• In the event of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only
move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so. Do not touch
the gate but call in an authorised technician.

MAINTENANCE

To work properly, the gate must be in good working order; the oper-
ations required to keep it in perfect condition are described below.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance man, who
must be a specialised technician, must be able to use the au-
tomatic system during maintenance.
Switch off the mains power supply to eliminate the risk of elec-
trocution. If the power supply must be left on for certain opera-
tions, each control device should be checked or disabled (remote
controls, push button strips, etc.) except for the one used by the
maintenance man.
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).
Gate:
- lubricate and grease the hinges of the gate.
Automation system:
- make sure the safety devices work properly (they must be ef-
ficient and trigger as set during installation);
- grease the unlock unit periodically with the grease nipple
(fig.17)
- inspect the inside of the foundation box periodically to check
rain water drains correctly and to avoid the stagnation of water
or other deposits (leaves, paper, etc.).
Extraordinary maintenance or breakage
If major work on electromechanical parts must be carried out, the
faulty component should be removed and repaired in the workshop
by the maker's or other authorised technicians.
N.B.: Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or
near the control unit.
