Maintenance - tau ARM200-Serie Bedienungs- Und Wartungsanleitung

TESTING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
• Carefully check operating efficiency of the automated system
and of all accessories connected to it, paying special attention
to the safety devices.
• Hand the "User Guide" to the final user together with the
Maintenance register.
• Explain correct operation and use of the automated system to
the user.
• Indicate the potentially dangerous areas of the automated
system to the user.
MANUAL RELEASE
If the automated system needs to be moved manually due to a
power lack or to an actuator malfunction, proceed as follows:
1_ Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the
event of a power lack).
2_ Slide the protective cap, fig.16;
3_ Insert the key and turn it 90°, fig.17.
4_ As shown in fig.18, rotate the release lever upward in order to
release the actuator.
5_ Open or close the leaf manually.
Note: To hold the actuator in manual operation the
release device should be left in its current positions
and the system should be without power.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To restore normal operating conditions, proceed as follows:
1_ Lock the release lever by rotating it downward.
2_ Turn 90° the release key and remove it.
3_ Close the protection cover.
4_ Power up the system and perform some movements in order to
check the correct restoring of every function of the automated
system.
USE
Actuators ARM225 - ARM225BENC, ARM250 - ARM250BENC
and ARM270 - ARM270BENC are designed to move gates with a
maximum length of, respectively, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 metres.
It is expressly forbidden to use the device for any other
purposes or under any other circumstances other than those
mentioned. The electronic control unit (which must be fitted with
an electric clutch) allows the following functions to be selected:
automatic : a command impulse opens and shuts the gate
semiautomatic : a command impulse opens or shuts the gate.
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually by
activating the "manual release" device. Mod. ARM200BENC can
be powered by a buffer battery and is able to perform at least 15
complete cycles (open and close) on its own.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should
therefore be used with care. In particular:
• do not touch with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
• disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the actuator;
• do not pull the plug out by its cable;
• do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cool;
• only operate the gate when it is completely visible;
• do not approach the gate while it is moving;
• do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
• do not allow children or disabled people to use the remote
control or other operating devices;
• carry out routine maintenance;
• in the case 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 and call in an authorised technician.

MAINTENANCE

To censure trouble-free operation and a constant safety level, an
overall check of the system should be carried out every 6 months.
A form for recording operations has been included in the "User
Guide" booklet.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance
man, who must be a specialised technician,
must be able to use the automatic system during
maintenance.
Switch off the mains power supply to eliminate the risk of
electrocution. If the power supply must be left on for certain
operations, each control device should be checked or disabled
(remote controls, push button strips, etc.) except for the one used
by the maintenance man.
The ARM200 / ARM200BENC actuators need very little
maintenance. However, as the gate must be in good working order
for them to work properly, the operations required to keep it in
perfect condition are described below.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out 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:
- check the safety devices (photocells, pneumatic edge, etc.)
work according to the manufacturer's instructions;
- grease (with a greaser) the worm screw from underneath the
actuator (see fig.12); TAU srl recommends using the complex
lithium soap grease produced by SYNECO.
- use a tester for lead-acid batteries to check whether the
battery is charged; if it needs replacing use an original battery
and recycle the flat one in compliance with current legislation
(alternatively, TAU srl recommends using FIAMM batteries).
N.B.: With use, a thin line of oxide may form on the
actuator stem. This is due to the materials addition
when welding the tube/stem. However, in NO WAY
does this affect the quality or normal operation of
the gearmotor. We recommend the stem be cleaned
regularly using special products for stainless steel.
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.
Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or near
the control unit.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
There is no special application other than the described use.
NOISE LEVELS
Airborne noise generated by the gearmotor in normal operating
conditions is constant and does not exceed 70 dB.
