4. INSTALLING THE ACCESSORIES (Optional)
Holes have been prepared on the upright of the automated system
to facilitate fastening operations for accessories (if any), such as
photocells (Orion) and key-selector (Quick).
Fig. 23 shows the accessories that can be fitted on the housing of
the automated system.
On the upright sides as well as over the entire beam length you
can install signalling lights.
To fix the single accessories, please refer to the relevant
instructions.

5. ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Install an omnipolar switch on the power supply mains of
the automated system with contact opening distance of 3
mm or more. The use of a thermal magnetic switch 6A with
omnipolar switching is recommended.
Make sure that a differential switch with 0.03 A threshold is fitted
upstream of the system.
At the end of the assembling and adjusting operations of the
mechanical part of the automated system you can connect the
power mains and all accessories fitted.
To connect the power cable you need to open the prepared hole
on the central box, fig. 24 ref. a, and mount the supplied cable
gland M16x1.5.
A channel for the cable routing has been prepared inside
the upright.
The power cable must enter the control unit passing through
its dedicated cable gland.
To connect the power line and the accessory line to the
control unit, please refer to the instructions for the control
unit.
The control unit has been located on a swinging support, fig. 25.
This makes the wiring and programming operations for the control
unit easier.
6. START-UP
• Place the panel as shown in fig. 26 and power up the system.
• Check the status of the signalling LEDs and of the control unit.
• Perform the programming procedure for the control unit
according to your needs.
• Perform a functional check of all the accessories connected,
paying special attention to the safety devices.
• Close the unit enclosure and position it horizontally.
• Place the upper cover as shown in fig. 27.
• Inform the end user about the correct operation of the automated
system
• Show the release and lock operations of the automated
system.
• Hand over the booklet "Instructions for use": this is a detachable
booklet in the middle of the manual. Fill out the enclosed
maintenance register.

7. MANUAL OPERATION

If a manual operation of the rod is necessary due to a fault of the
automated system or to a power cut, operate as follows:
Cut power to the system using the differential switch upstream
of the system.
• Insert the key into the release device and turn it clockwise until it
stops, as shown in fig. 28 ref. a.
• Turn the release device clockwise until it stops, fig. 28 ref. b.
• Move the rod by hand, fig. 28 ref. c.
8. RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an involuntary pulse from activating the automated
system, make sure the system is not powered up using
the differential switch, before restoring normal operation
mode.
• Turn the release device counter-clockwise until it stops, Fig. 29
ref. a.
• Turn the key counter-clockwise until it stops and then remove it, counter-clockwise until it stops and then remove it, clockwise until it stops and then remove it,
fig. 29 ref b.
• Move the rod by hand until it stops, fig. 29 ref. c.
• Power up the system again.
9. MAINTENANCE
To ensure a correct operation and a constant safety level over time
RAINBOW 524 C- RAINBOW 724 C
perform, every six months, a general check of the system paying
special attention to the safety devices. The booklet "Instructions
for use" contains a form for the registration of the maintenance
operations.
Every maintenance job or inspection performed by the
operator must only occur after having cut power to the
system and with the rod in vertical position.
For the correct operation of the barrier, we recommend you to
periodically replace the spring and the balancing springs. The table
below shows the spring life according to the type of automated
system and spring used:
Spring type RAINBOW 524 C
Strong spring 500.000 cycles
Soft spring spring 500.000 cycles
To remove the spring or the balancing spring in complete safety,
operate as follows:
1. Cut power to the system.
Prepare the operator for manual operation; move the rod into
2.
vertical position and lock the operator again making sure that
it cannot be moved manually.
3. Remove the upper cover and the panel.
4. Now you can remove the balancing springs.
If you need to remove the rod for maintenance operations, you
need to perform the following:
1. Remove the balancing springs as described before.
2. Prepare the operator for manual operation and move the rod
into horizontal position.
3. Now you can remove the rod.
The rod can only be removed after having removed the
balancing springs.
10. REPAIRS
The user must not attempt any repair or job and must only and
exclusively contact qualified GENIUS personnel or GENIUS service
centres.

11. ACCESSORIES

11.1. ARTICULATION KIT
IThe articulation kit, fig. 30, was created to articulate the rigid rod
enabling installation in covered places.
If the articulation kit is used, the balancing spring must be
adapted.
11.2. SKIRT KIT
The skirt kit, fig. 31, increases visibility of the beam. The kit is available
in lengths of 2 meters.
If the skirt kit is installed, the balancing spring must be
adapted.
11.3. END FOOT
The end foot, fig. 32, allows the rod to rest when closed thus
preventing the profile bending downward.
If the end foot is used, the balancing spring must be
adapted.
11.4. FORK SUPPORT
The fork support, fig. 33, has two functions:
• It prevents the rod, when closed, from bending and splitting due
to external stresses.
• It allows the rod to rest when closed thus preventing any
bending.
The use of the fork support does not imply any adaptation
of the balancing spring.
11.5. PHOTOCELL SUPPORT
The photocell support, fig. 34, enables the positioning of a pair of
photocells aligned with the rod.
The second photocell must be positioned using a column.
11.6. LUMINOUS STRIP FOR UPRIGHT
The luminous strip for the upright increases visibility of the automated
system and compensates the use of a flashing lamp.
Its operation is controlled by the control unit.
