• Re-engage the drive by moving the door manually until the drive mechanism re-locks on the transmission rail.

WARNING

The yellow warning sticker concerning the risk of crushing and the description of how to move the door manually must be displayed inside the garage.

3.6 Operation after a power outage

Following a power outage, the drive must recognise its "fully open" position again.

• Open the door fully using a memorised remote control.
  • The door will open at a reduced speed.

Allow the door to open to its "fully open" position.

DANGER

Switch the electrical power supply to the drive off before installing any peripheral.

4.1 Connecting the photoelectric cells

The photoelectric cells allow the presence of an obstacle to be detected when opening/closing the door. An obstacle placed between the cells will prevent the door from closing. if an obstacle is detected when the door is closing, the door stops then reopens.

The integrated lighting is activated intermittently for 30 seconds.

When positioning the cells, remove the bridge created between terminals "1" and "2" of the motor electronics.

If the cells are disconnected, it is essential to recreate the bridge between terminals "1" and "2".

4.2 Connecting the flashing light

The flashing light is activated whenever the door moves, with a 2-second pre-warning before movement starts.

4.4 Connecting the back-up battery

▶ Operation

White electronic device with two labeled connectors (Ni-Cd and Cd) and a black cable, no visible text or symbols on the body.

If a backup battery is installed, the drive will work even during a general power outage.

Operation is then activated under the following conditions:

• Reduced speed.
  • The lighting does not work.
  • the safety devices are inactive.

Battery specifications:

- Battery life: 24 hours; 5 to 10 operating cycles depending on the weight of the door.

• Recharging time: 72 hours.
• Service life before replacement: Approximately 3 years.

For optimum battery life it is recommended that the main power supply be switched off and the drive operated using the battery for several cycles, three times a year.
