General Safety Precautions; Machinery Directive - DITEC CUBIC6 Montage- Und Wartungshandbuch

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This installation manual is intended for professionally com-
petent personnel only. Installation, electrical connections
and adjustments must be performed in accordance with Good
Working Methods and in compliance with applicable regulations.
Before installing the product, carefully read the instructions. Bad
installation could be hazardous.
The packaging materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) should not
be discarded in the environment or left within reach of children,
as these are a potential source of hazard. Before installing the
product, make sure it is in perfect condition.
Do not install the product in an explosive environment and
atmosphere: gas or inflammable fumes are a serious hazard
risk. Before installing the motors, make all structural changes
relating t o safety clearances and protection or segregation of
all areas where there is risk of being crushed, cut or dragged,
and danger areas in general.
Make sure the existing structure is up to standard in terms of
strength and stability. The motor manufacturer is not responsible
for failure to use Good Working Methods in building the frames
to be motorised or for any deformation occurring during use.
The safety devices (photocells, safety edges, emergency stops,
etc.) must be installed taking into account: applicable laws and
directives, Good Working Methods, installation premises, system
operating logic and the forces developed by the motorised door
or gate. The safety devices must protect any areas where the
risk exists of being crushed, cut or gragged, or where there are
any other risks generated by the motorised door or gate. Apply
hazard area notices required by applicable regulations.
Each installation must clearly show the identification details of
the motorised door or gate.
Before making power connections, make sure the plate
details correspond to those of the power mains.Fit an
omnipolar disconnection switch with a contact opening gap of at
least 3 mm. Make sure an adequate residual current circuit bre-
aker and overcurrent cutout are fitted upstream of the electrical
system. When necessary, connect the motorised door or gate
to a reliable earth system made in accordance with applicable
safety regulations. During installation, maintenance and repair,
interrupt the power supply before opening the lid to access the
electrical parts.
To handle electronic parts, wear earthed antistatic con-
ductive bracelets.
The motor manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event
of component parts being fitted that are not compatible with the
safe an correct operation.
For repairs or replacements of products only original spare parts
must be used. The installer shall provide all information relating
to automatic, manual and emergency operation of the motorised
door or gate, and provide the user with operating instructions.

MACHINERY DIRECTIVE

Pursuant to Machine Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who mo-
torises a door or gate has the same obligations as a machine
manufacturer and shall:
- prepare technical documentation containing the documents
indicated on Schedule V of the Machine Directive;
(The technical documentation shall be kept and placed at the
disposal of competent national authorities for at least ten years
starting on the date of manufacture of the motorised door);
- draw up the EC declaration of conformity according to Sche-
dule II-A of the Machine Directive;
- affix the CE mark on the motorised door pursuant to para.
1.7.3 of Schedule I of the Machine Directive.

documentation" available on Internet at the following address:

APPLICATIONS
CUBIC6-CUBIC6J-CUBIC6V
Service life: 3 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 30÷60
cycles a day)
Applications: FREQUENT (For vehicle or pedestrian accesses
to town houses or small condominiums with frequent use).
CUBIC6H-CUBIC6VH
Service life: 4 (minimum 10÷5 years of working life with 100÷200
cycles a day).
Applications: INTENSIVE (For all special applications with
ongoing use such as toll gates and so on).
- Performance characteristics are to be understood as referring
to the recommended weight (approx. 2/3 of maximum permis-
sible weight). A reduction in performance is to be expected
when the access is made to operate at the maximum permis-
sible weight.
- Service class, running times, and the number of consecutive
cycles are to be taken as merely indicative having been statisti-
cally determined under average operating conditions, and are
therefore not necessarily applicable to specific conditions of
use. During given time spans product performance characteris-
tics will be such as not to require any special maintenance.
- The actual performance characteristics of each automatic
access may be affected by independent variables such as
friction, balancing and environmental factors, all of which
may substantially alter the performance characteristics of the
automatic access or curtail its working life or parts thereof
(including the automatic devices themselves). When setting
up, specific local conditions must be duly borne in mind and
the installation adapted accordingly for ensuring maximum
durability and trouble-free operation.
DECLARATION BY THE MANUFACTURER
(Directive 98/37/EC, Annex II, sub B)
Manufacturer: DITEC S.p.A.
Address: via Mons. Banfi, 3
21042 Caronno P.lla (VA) - ITALY
Herewith declares that the electromechanical automatic system
series CUBIC:
- is intended to be incorpored into machinery or to be assem-
bled with other machinery to constitute machinery convered
by Directive 98/37/EC;
- is in conformity with the provisions of the following other EC
directives:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC;
Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC;
and furthermore declares that it is not allowed to put the ma-
chinery into service until the machinery into which it is to be
incorporated or of which it is to be a component has been found
and declared to be in conformity with the provisions of Directive
98/37/EC and with national implementing legislation.
