- Ensure a clear line of sight to the gate and that no obstructions are present before operating.
5.2 Sigurnosne karakteristike
The system includes a reflective photocell that detects obstructions. If an obstruction is detected while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and reverse. The built-in thermal overload and torque limiting features protect the motor from damage due to excessive force or overheating.
6. Održavanje
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your gate operator.
- mjesečno: Inspect the gate's movement for any signs of friction or misalignment. Check all mounting hardware for tightness.
- Kvartalno: Clean the reflective photocell lenses to ensure proper operation. Check electrical connections for corrosion or damage.
- Godišnje: Have a qualified technician inspect the entire system, including motor, gears, and safety devices.
7. Otkrivanje problema
If you encounter issues with your gate operator, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Gate not responding to remote: Check remote battery. Ensure the receiver is powered and connected.
- Gate stops unexpectedly: Check for obstructions in the gate's path, especially near the photocell. Clean photocell lenses.
- Gate moves slowly or with difficulty: Inspect the gate hinges and wheels for friction. Ensure the actuator is not obstructed.
- Nema snage: Provjerite glavni dovod napajanja i osigurač.
For persistent issues, contact a qualified service technician.
