1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND INTENDED USE

During operation, the gate should not under any circumstances obstruct public path ways and roads (public area).

When using tools and small parts to install or carry out repair work on a gate exercise caution and do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing.

To avoid serious personal injury due to entrapments, remove any locking device fitted to the gate in order to prevent damage to the gate.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical installation regulations. Power cables must only be connected to a properly earthed supply.

Disconnect electric power to the system before installation, maintenance, repairs or removing covers. A disconnecting device must be provided to the mains power supply (permanently-wired installation) to guarantee all-pole disconnection (isolating switch or by a separate fuse). The repairs and electrical installations may be performed only by an authorised electrician. Emergency Stop Button must be installed for emergency case based on the risk assessment.

Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surrounding fixed parts due to the opening movement of the driven part is avoided by respecting the given safety distances in accordance with the EU: EN 13241, EN12604, EN 12453, EN 12635; GB (UK, NI) BS EN 13241, BS EN12604, BS EN 12453, BS EN12635 and/or with safety devices (e.g. safety edge).

Testing of the safety function of the drive system is recommended to be carried out at least once a month. Refer also to manufacturers instruction of the gate system components.

After the installation a final test of the full function of the system and the of the safety devices must be made and all users must be instructed in the function and operation of the swing gate operator.

Gate systems must meet the force limitation according EU: EN 12453, EN 60335-2-103; GB (UK, NI) BS EN 12453, BS EN 60335-2-103.

Additional safety device (safety edge,) must be considered in accordance to the standard by changes to the system.

It is important to make sure that the gate always runs smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be repaired immediately. Employ a qualified technician to repair the gate, never attempt to repair it yourself. This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instruction in how to use the device. If necessary, control equipment MUST be mounted within sight of the gate and out of reach of children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device. Do not allow children to operate push button(s) or remote(s). Misuse of the gate operator system can result in serious injury.

Please observe the following instructions for battery:

Batteries should not be treated as household waste. All consumers are required by law to dispose of batteries properly at the designated collection points. Never recharge batteries that are not meant to be recharged.

Danger of explosion!

Keep batteries away from children, do not short-circuit them or take them apart. See a doctor immediately, if a battery is swallowed. If necessary, clean contacts on battery and devices before loading. Remove flat batteries from the device immediately!

Increased risk of leakage!

Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or similar!

There is increased risk of leakage!

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth. Rinse the parts affected by battery acid with plenty of cold water and consult a doctor immediately. Use only batteries of the same type. Remove the batteries if the device is not being used for a long time.

Replacing battery:

To replace battery, turn remote control around and open the case with a screwdriver. Lift cover and lift control board below. Slide battery to one side and remove. Watch polarity of battery! Assemble again from in reverse direction.

ATTENTION!

Danger of explosion if battery is replaced improperly. Replacement only by identical or equivalent type (CR2032) 3V.

CAUTION

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Do not ingest battery, Chemical Burn Hazard.

This product contains a coin battery. If swallowed, button batteries can cause injuries, or death.

WARNING

  • Keep batteries out of sight and out of the reach of children, button/coin batteries can be dangerous for children.
  • Dispose of used button batteries immediately. Do not use defect/swallowed batteries.

CHAMBERLAIN CHLA250EVC - WARNING - 1

CHAMBERLAIN CHLA250EVC - WARNING - 2

The drive mechanism

The drive mechanism is maintenance free. Check the gate fittings and the drive mechanism at regular intervals (monthly) are securely fixed. Release the drive and check that the gate functions properly. Unless the gate runs smoothly it will not operate correctly with the drive mechanism. The drive cannot eliminate the problems caused by a gate that does not work correctly.

Limit switch adjustment and force regulation

These settings must be checked and undertaken properly during the installation of the opener! Due to weathering, minor changes can occur during operation of the opener that need to be addressed by a new setting. This can particularly happen in the first year of operation. Follow the instructions for setting travel limits and force (refer to section Limit Learning Phase, pages 11 and 12) carefully and re-check the automatic safety reverse after each resetting!

Disassembly

IMPORTANT Notice! Follow the safety notices. See "Safety instructions" (pages 2 and 3). The sequence described in the "installation" section, but in opposite order. Ignore the setup instructions.
