Important information

This product is a motorisation for a hinged gate on a
residential property as defined in standard EN 60335-
2-103, with which it is compliant. The main purpose
of these instructions is to satisfy the requirements
of the aforementioned standards and to ensure the
safety of equipment and persons.
WARNING
Any use of this product outside the field of
application described in this manual is prohibited
(see "Field of application" paragraph in the manual).
The use of any accessory or any component not
recommended by Somfy is prohibited, on safety
grounds.
Somfy cannot be held liable for any damage
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in
this manual.
If in any doubt when installing the motorisation or
to obtain additional information, consult the website
www.somfy.com. The instructions may be modified
if and when there is a change to the standards or to
the motorisation.

Condition of the gate to be motorised

Before installing the motorisation, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition
• the gate is stable regardless of its position
• the structures supporting the gate allow the
motorisation to be fixed securely. Strengthen
these if necessary.
• the gate can be correctly opened and closed
manually using a force of less than 150 N.
• the temperature range inscribed on the
motorisation is suitable for the location.
CAUTION
Do not spray water onto the motorisation.
Do not install the motorisation in an explosive
environment.
WARNING
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting,
trapping) between the driven part and the
surrounding fixed elements caused by the opening
movement of the driven part are avoided or
indicated on the installation (see "Risk prevention").
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels near
any fixed control devices or so that they are clearly
visible.

Electrical installation

DANGER
The installation of the power supply must comply
with the standards in force in the country in which
the motorisation is installed, and must be carried
out by qualified personnel.
DANGER
The electric line must be exclusively reserved for
the motorisation and equipped with protection,
comprising:
• a 10 A fuse or breaker,
• a differential type device (30 mA).
An all-pole power supply cut-off device must be
provided. The switches provided to ensure a cut-out
of all poles on fixed appliances must be connected
to the power supply terminals and there must be
a separation between the contacts on all poles to
ensure complete disconnection in conditions where
category III high impulse voltage is present. Low-
voltage cables subject to inclement weather must
be at least of type H07RN-F. It is recommended that
you fit a lightning conductor (mandatory maximum
residual voltage of 2 kV).
