3 INSTALLATION
3.1 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
a
The installation must be carried out by qualied
personnel in compliance with the current legisla-
tion, standards and regulations, and with the in-
structions provided in this manual.
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, it is necessary to:
– check the integrity of the supply
– check that all the materials are in good working order and suited
to the intended use
– check whether it is possible to observe the operating limits spec-
ied in the paragraph “Product usage limits“
– check that the installation location is compatible with the overall
clearance of the product (see “Figure 3“)
– check that the surface chosen for installing the boom gate is
solid and can ensure stable anchorage
– make sure that the installation area is not subject to ooding;
if necessary, the product must be installed appropriately raised
above ground level
– check that the space surrounding the boom gate allows for exe-
cuting the manual manoeuvres easily and safely
– check that there are no obstacles along the boom’s path capable
of hampering the opening and closing manoeuvres
– check that each device to be installed lies in a position that is
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
– verify that the mounting positions of the various devices are pro-
tected against impacts and that the mounting surfaces are suf-
ciently sturdy
– prevent any parts of the automation from being immersed in wa-
ter or other liquids
– keep the product away from heat sources and open ames and
acid, saline or potentially explosive atmospheres; these may
damage the product and cause malfunctions or dangerous sit-
uations
– connect the control unit to an electricity supply line equipped
with a safety earthing system
3.2 PRODUCT USAGE LIMITS
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, it is necessary to:
– check that all the values appearing in the “TECHNICAL SPECI-
FICATIONS” chapter are compatible with the intended use
– check that the estimated durability (refer to the paragraph “
Product durability”) is compatible with the intended use
– check that all limitations, conditions and warnings appearing in
this manual can be fully observed.
3.2.1 Product durability
The product’s durability is its average economic life value and is
strongly inuenced by the degree of severity of the manoeuvres: in
other words, the sum of all factors that contribute to product wear.
To estimate the durability of your automated device, proceed as
follows:
1. add the values of the items in "Table 2" relative to the sys-
tem’s conditions
2. in the graph shown in "Figure 2", from the value obtained
above, trace a vertical line until it intersects the curve; then,
trace a horizontal line until it intersects the line of the "ma-
noeuvre cycles". The value obtained is the estimated lifetime
of your product.
The durability values shown in the graph can only be obtained if the
maintenance schedule is strictly observed – see the “PRODUCT
MAINTENANCE” chapter. The durability is estimated on the basis
of the design calculations and the results of tests effected on pro-
totypes. Being an estimate, therefore, it offers no explicit guarantee
of the product’s actual useful life.
Example of durability calculation: WIDE M with mobile sup-
port, jointed boom
"Table 2" shows the "severity indices" for this type of installation:
15% ("mobile support"), 15% ("jointed boom").
These indicators must be added together to obtain the overall se-
verity index, which in this case is 30%. With the value calculated
(30%), identify along the graph’s horizontal axis (“severity index”)
the value corresponding to the number of “manoeuvre cycles” that
the product can perform throughout its lifetime = roughly 200.000
cycles.
