DANGER
Danger to life due to electric current!
a) In case of contact with live parts, there is an immediate danger to life due to electric shock. Damage to or removal of the insulation or individual components can be life-threatening.
- Before starting work on active parts of electrical systems and equipment, ensure that all poles are voltage free and that this is maintained for the duration of the work.
- Keep moisture away from live parts. This can lead to a short circuit.
- Never bridge fuses or put them out of operation.
- Do not connect the power supply until all work has been completed.
- Have work on the electrical system performed by qualified personnel only.

1.4 Intervention rules on sites
IMPORTANT
Before starting work on the door, ensure that all equipment and tools are in good working order and conform to current safety standards.
NOTICE
Labeling and information must be visible to everyone.
IMPORTANT
Do not change the components of the automation system in any way.
IMPORTANT
Before starting with inspection and maintenance, it is necessary to ensure that a side entrance can be used by third parties. It is highly recommended to have a pedestrian barrier around the complete door!
The safety of all persons must be ensured!
NOTICE
Ensure regularly that all safety systems are in good working order.
CAUTION
Unintentional activation of operating elements!
a) Possible Injury from hazardous movements due to unexpected activation of the drive by a third party.
- Switch all operating elements to the lock position where possible.
- Remove and safely store the keys from operating elements.
1.5 State of technology
This system was developed using state of the art technology and officially recognized technical safety regulations. The system, depending on its options and diameter, comply with the requirements of the Machine Guidelines 2006/42/EG as well as EN 16005 and DIN 18650 (D).
Nevertheless, danger may arise if not used as intended.
IMPORTANT
Installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance and repair work may only be conducted by qualified, trained and authorized technicians.
After commissioning or repair work, fill in the check list and give it to the customer for safe keeping.
We recommend obtaining a service agreement.
1.6 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is used to protect persons from adverse effects on health. Personnel must wear personal protective equipment during the various work activities on and with the system.
Personal protective equipment is explained below:
- Hearing protection
- Used to protect the hearing from noise. As a rule of thumb, hearing protection is compulsory from when normal conversation with other people is no longer possible.
- Head protection
- Serves to protect against falling and flying parts and materials. It also protects the head from bumping into hard objects.
- Protective goggles
- Protect the eyes from flying parts, dust, splinters or splashes.
- Protective gloves
- Designed to protect hands from friction, abrasions, punctures or serious injury and from burning caused by contacting hot surfaces.
- Safety shoes
- Protect the feet from crushing, falling parts and slipping on surfaces. The puncture resistance of the shoes ensures, that pointy objects do not penetrate the foot.
- High-visibility vest
- Used to make the personnel stand out and therefore to be seen. With improved visibility and attention, the high-visibility vest protects personnel in busy work areas from collisions with vehicles.
Depending on the place of work and the working environment, the protective equipment varies and must be adapted accordingly. In addition to protective equipment for specific work, the work site may require other protective equipment (for example a harness).
In hygiene-protected areas, special or additional requirements of personal protective equipment may be required. These requirements must be considered when choosing personal protective equipment.
If there is any uncertainty regarding the choice of personal protective equipment, the safety officer must be consulted at the place of work.
1.7 Spare parts and liability
Reliable and trouble free operation of the door is only guaranteed when using parts that were recommended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer declines any liability for damages resulting from unauthorized modifications to the door or the use of parts that are not permitted.
