WORKING IN SAFETY!

Please note - These instructions must be followed to
guarantee personal safety.
Please note – Important safety instructions. Keep for
future reference.
The design and manufacture of the devices making up the product
and the information in this manual fully comply with current stan-
dards governing safety. However, incorrect installation or program-
ming may cause serious physical injury to those working on or using
the system. For this reason, during installation, always strictly
observe all instructions in this manual.
If in any doubt regarding installation, do not proceed and contact the
Mhouse Technical Assistance for clarifications.
If this is the first time you are setting up an automation for garage doors
(sectional or up-and-over), we recommend that you read this entire man-
ual with care. This is preferable before any work, without any hurry to start
practical tasks.
Also keep product devices on hand while consulting the manual to enable
testing and checking (excluding any programming phases) with the infor-
mation provided in the manual.
While reading this manual, take care to observe all instructions
marked with the following symbol:
These symbols indicate subjects that may be the source of potential
hazards and therefore the prescribed operations must be performed
exclusively by qualified and skilled personnel, in observance of
these instructions current safety standards.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

According to the most recent legislation, the installation of a garage
door must be in full observance of the standards envisaged by Euro-
pean Directive 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive) and in particular stan-
dards EN 12445, EN 12453 EN 12635 and EN 13241-1, which enable
declaration of presumed conformity of the automation.
In consideration of the above,
The final connection of the automation to the electrical mains, sys-
tem testing, commissioning and periodic maintenance must be per-
formed by skilled and qualified personnel, in observance of the
instructions in the section "Tasks reserved for qualified technicians".
These personnel are also responsible for the tests required accord-
ing to the risks present, and for ensuring observance of all legal pro-
visions, standards and regulations , and in particular all requirements
of the standard EN 12445, which establishes the test methods for
checking automations for garage doors.
However, all preliminary set-up, installation and programming opera-
tions may be performed by personnel with standard skills, provided
that all instructions and the relative sequences in this manual are
strictly observed, with special reference to the warnings in STEP 1.
Before starting installation, perform the following checks and
assessments:
– ensure that each device used to set up the automation is suited to the
intended system. For this purpose, pay special attention to the data pro-
vided in the paragraph "Technical specifications". Do not proceed with
installation if any one of these devices does not correspond to specifica-
tions.
– ensure that the devices in the kit are sufficient to guarantee system safe-
ty and functionality.
– an assessment of the associated risks must be made, including a list of
the essential safety requirements as envisaged in Appendix I of the
Machinery Directive, specifying the relative solutions adopted. Note that
the risk assessment is one of the documents included in the automation

installer
Considering the risk situations that may arise during installation
phases and use of the product, the automation must be installed in
observance of the following warnings:
– never make any modifications to part of the automation other than those
specified in this manual. Operations of this type will lead to malfunctions.
The manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift
modifications to the product.
– ensure that parts of the automation cannot come into contact with
water or other liquids. During installation ensure that no liquids penetrate
the gearmotors or other devices present.
– Should this occur, disconnect the power supply immediately and con-
tact a Mhouse service centre. Use of the automation in these conditions
constitutes a hazard.
– never place automation components near to sources of heat and never
expose to naked flames. This may damage system components and
cause malfunctions, fire or hazardous situations.
– all operations requiring opening of the protection housings of various
automation components must be performed with the control unit discon-
nected from the power supply. If the disconnect device is not in a visible
location, affix a notice stating: "WARNING! MAINTENANCE IN
PROGRESS".
– the product may not be considered an efficient system of protection
against intrusion.
If an efficient protection system is required, the automation must be inte-
grated with other devices.
– Connect the control unit to an electric power line equipped with an
earthing system.
– the product may only be used after completing the automation "com-
missioning" procedure as specified in paragraph "Automation testing
and commissioning" provided in the section "Tasks reserved for qualified
technicians".
– The automation component packaging material must be disposed of in
full observance of current local legislation governing waste disposal.
