reference.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
If correctly installed and operated, 550 automation systems ensure a high level
of safety.
However, some simple rules should be followed to avoid accidents:
• Do not stand underneath the garage door.
• Do not stand in the vicinity of the automation or allow anyone else, especially
children, to do so and do not place objects in the vicinity of the automation.
This is particularly important during operation.
• Keep remote controls and other control devices out of the reach of children to
prevent them from accidentally operating the door.
• Do not allow children to play with the automation.
• Do not deliberately obstruct the movement of the door.
• Make sure that branches or bushes do not interfere with the movement of the
door.
• Keep the luminous signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.
Do not attempt to operate the door manually without first releasing it.
•
• In the event of a malfunction, release the gate to allow access and call a qua-
lified technician for service.
• After setting manual operation, disconnect the electricity supply from the system
before returning to normal operation.
• Do not make any modifications to components belonging to the automation
system.
• The end user has to be refrained to any tempted of repairing end he mast contact
only qualified FAAC' s personnel, or FAAC's technical after sale offices.
At least once every six months have the automation, the safety devices and the
•
earth connection checked by a qualified technician.
DESCRIPTION
The 550 automation system is ideal for operating residential counterbalanced
up-and-over garage doors.
It consists of an electromechanical operator, a control unit with courtesy light and
a protective cover integrated into a single unit to be mounted on the garage door
panel using the relevant accessories.
The irreversible system locks the door mechanically when the motor is not running,
so a lock is not required. A manual release device allows the door to be operated
in the case of a power failure or malfunction.
Anti-crushing safety is assured by an adjustable electronic device.
The 550 automation system allows two operators (550 ITT + 550 SLAVE) to be
installed on the same door.
The door is normally closed. When the control unit receives an opening signal via
the radio control or another control device, it activates the electric motor which
rotates the door to the open position to allow access.
If automatic operation has been set, the door closes again after the selected
pause time.
If semiautomatic operation has been set, a second signal must be given to close
the door again.
Giving an opening signal while the door is opening always causes the door to
stop moving.
Giving an opening signal while the door is closing causes the door to reverse its
direction of movement.
A stop signal (if available) always stops the door.
Ask the installation engineer if you need further information on operation of the
door in the various operating logics.
The automation systems may include safety devices (photocells) which prevent the
door from closing when an obstacle lies within the area they are protecting.
The 550 automation systems are provided as standard with an anti-crushing safety
device which limits the torque transmitted to the door.
The door can be opened manually using the release system.
The light flashes to indicate that the gate is moving.
The courtesy light comes on when the motor starts and remains on for about 90
seconds after it has stopped.
MANUAL OPERATION
The operator is equipped with an emergency release device that can be operated
from inside the garage. On request, a lock can be fitted to the door panel to allow
the release device to be operated from outside.
If the door has to be operated manually due to a power failure or a malfunction
of the automation system, operate the release device as follows:
Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the event of a
power lack).
1. From inside (fig. 1)
• Insert the hex wrench provided and turn clockwise about half a turn until
the stop is reached.
Depending on the type of installation, the release device may be on the
right (a) or left (b).
• Remove the wrench and move the door manually.
2. From outside (fig. 2)
• Open the safety door and insert the wrench.
Turn anticlockwise as far as possible and remove the lock unit.
•
• Insert the hex wrench provided and turn anticlockwise about half a turn until
the stop is reached.
• Remove the wrench and move the door manually.
RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an accidental movement from activating the door during the
operation, disconnect the power supply from the system before locking
the operator again.
1. From inside (fig. 1)
Insert the hex wrench provided and turn anticlockwise about half a turn until
•
the stop is reached.
Depending on the type of installation, the release device may be on the
right (a) or left (b).
• Remove the wrench
• Manually move the door until it stops.
• Restore power supply
2. From outside (fig. 2)
• Insert the hex wrench provided and turn clockwise about half a turn until
the stop is reached.
• Remove the hex wrench and insert the lock unit.
Turn the wrench clockwise so that it can be removed; close the safety door
•
again.
• Manually move the door until it stops.
• Restore power supply
MAINTENANCE
To ensure a correct operation and a constant safety level over time 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.
REPAIRS
The user must not attempt any repair or job and must only and exclusively contact
qualified FAAC personnel or FAAC service centres.
