1.2 General Safety and Accident Prevention Regulations
This system is not intended to be used by persons (including children from the age of 8) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities or with a lack of experience and/or knowledge. Unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions from that person on how to use the system.
Supervise children and ensure that they do not play at the system.
Do not allow children to play with the device or its regulating and/or control devices, including remote controls.
When using motion detectors, make sure that no moving objects such as flags, plants, etc. enter the detection areas of the motion detectors.
In order to avoid malfunctions, the system must NOT be disconnected from the mains overnight!
If malfunctions that endanger the safety of individuals occur, the system must be turned off. It may not be turned back on until the problem has been resolved by a professional and the danger no longer exists.
Safety devices (e.g. sensors, protective wings) must not be dismantled or put out of operation.

1.3 Danger Zones
Refer to specific system diagrams for defined danger zones (not depicted in this text).
1.3.1 Security and Surveillance Equipment
The passages of the plant are monitored by sensors. It is important that they work faultlessly and are under no circumstances set out of service.
1.3.2 Danger Warnings on the Product
If necessary, the country-specific regulations have to be adhered to.
1.3.3 Reconstructions and Changes to the Product
Unauthorized modifications to the installation will release the manufacturer from all liability for any resulting damage.
1.4 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, complies with the requirements of:
- Machine Guidelines 2006/42/EG
- EN 16005
- DIN 18650 (D)
Nevertheless, danger may arise if not used as intended.
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.
1.5 Intended Purpose of Use
The system is designed exclusively for use as a pedestrian passage. The installation may only occur in dry areas. If there are deviations then proper waterproofing and water drains will be required on-site.
Any other application or use beyond this purpose is not considered to be an intended purpose. The manufacturer bears no liability for any resulting damage; the operator alone shall bear the associated risk.
The intended purpose also includes observation of the operating conditions specified by the manufacturer, in addition to regular care, maintenance, and repair.
Interventions in or alterations to the installation performed by non-authorized maintenance technicians exclude the manufacturer's liability for consequential damages.
1.6 Control of Safety Devices
Beside the maintenance carried out at regular intervals by a service technician or authorised person, it is recommended, for additional safety, that the operator regularly controls the essential elements of the door. You will find a check-list of the functions to be tested monthly at the end of this document.
1.7 Storage of the Manual
After the installation of the system, the instructions should be stored in an accessible and dry place.
