• Make sure the mains power supply is disconnected during all installation procedures.
• All the components (e.g. actuators, photocells and sensitive edges) needed for the final installation to comply with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and with the reference harmonised technical standards are specified in the general CAME product catalogue or on the website www.came.com.
• Check that the temperature ranges given are suitable for the installation site.
• Make sure that no direct jets of water can wet the product at the installation site (sprinklers, water cleaners, etc.).
• Make sure you have set up a suitable dual-pole cut-off device along the power supply that is compliant with the installation rules. It should completely cut off the power supply according to category III surcharge conditions.
• Demarcate the entire site properly to prevent unauthorised personnel from entering, especially minors.

Further Safety and Installation Guidelines

• Use suitable protection to prevent any mechanical hazards due to persons loitering within the operating range of the operator.
• The electrical cables must pass through special pipes, ducts and cable glands to guarantee adequate protection against mechanical damage.
• The electrical cables must not touch any parts that may overheat during use (such as the motor and transformer).
• Before installation, check that the guided part is in good mechanical condition, and that it opens and closes correctly.
• The product cannot be used to automate any guided part that includes a pedestrian gate, unless it can only be enabled when the pedestrian gate is secured.
• Make sure that nobody can become trapped between the guided and fixed parts, when the guided part is set in motion.
• All fixed controls must be clearly visible after installation, in a position that allows the guided part to be directly visible, but far away from moving parts.
• In the case of a hold-to-run control, this must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the ground and must not be accessible to the public.
• If not already present, apply a permanent tag that describes how to use the manual release mechanism close to it.
• Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted and that the safety and protection devices and the manual release are working properly.
