GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This installation manual is intended for professionally
competent 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 envi-
ronment 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 atmos-
phere: gas or inflammable fumes are a serious hazard risk.
Before installing the motors, make all structural changes relating
to safety clearances and protection or segregation of all areas
where there is risk of being crushed, cut convoyed, 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, sys-
tem 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 convoyed, 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 on
the electrical system an omnipolar disconnection switch with a
contact opening gap of at least 3 mm.
Check there is a differential switch and adequate overcurrent
protection upline from the electrical system.
When necessary, connect the motorised door or gate to a reli-
able 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 a 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 Machinery Directive (98/37/EC) the installer who
motorises a door or gate has the same obligations as the ma-
nufacturer of machinery and as such must:
- prepare the technical file which must contain the documents
indicated in Annex V of the Machinery Directive;
(The technical file must be kept and placed at the disposal of
competent national authorities for at least ten years from the
date of manufacture of the motorised door);
- draft the EC declaration of conformity in accordance with
Annex II-A of the Machinery Directive and deliver it to the
customer;
- affix the CE marking on the power operated door in accordance
with point 1.7.3 of Annex I of the Machinery Directive.

APPLICATIONS
Service class: 5 (minimum 5 years of working life with 600
cycles a day)
Applications: HEAVY DUTY (For vehicle or pedestrian acces-
ses to institutional complexes with very intense use).
- 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 characteristics 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.

Manufacturer: DITEC S.p.A.
Address: via Mons. Banfi, 3
21042 Caronno P.lla (VA) - ITALY
Herewith declares that the electromechanical automatic system
for swing doors series SPRINT
- is intended to be incorporated into machinery or to be assem-
bled with other machinery to constitute machinery covered
by Directive 98/37/EC;
- is in conformity with the provisions of the following other
EEC directives: Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
89/336/EEC; Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC;
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.
