1. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This installation manual is intended for qualied personnel only.
The installation, the power connections and the settings must be completed in conformity with Good
Working Methods and with the regulations in force.
Before installing the product, carefully read the instructions. Bad installation could be hazardous. The packaging
materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) should not be discarded in the environment or left within reach of children,
as these are a potential source of hazard.
Before beginning the installation check that the product is in perfect condition.
Do not install the product in explosive areas and atmospheres: the presence of ammable gas or fumes rep-
resents a serious threat to safety.
The safety devices (photocells, sensitive edges, emergency stop, etc.) must be installed taking into account:
the provisions and the directives in force, Good Working Methods, the installation area, the functional logic of
the system and the forces developed by the automation.
Before making power connections, check that the rating corresponds to that of the mains supply. A mul-
tipolar disconnection switch with a contact opening gap of at least 3 mm must be included in the mains
supply. Check that upstream of the electrical installation an adequate residual current circuit breaker and an
overcurrent cut out are tted.
When requested, connect the automation to an eective earthing system carried out as indicated by current
safety regulations.
During installation, maintenance and repair operations, cut o the power supply before opening the cover to
access the electrical parts.
To handle electronic parts, wear earthed antistatic conductive bracelets. The manufacturer of the mo-
torisation declines all responsibility in the event of components which are not compatible with the safe
and correct operation of the product.
For repairs or replacements of products only original spare parts must be used.
