14 Warnings

Read these instructions before proceeding with the installation work. They contain important information regarding safety, installation, use and maintenance.

In order to make the use of these instructions as simple as possible, we have tried to follow the same order as the various phases of installation. All operations not specified in these instructions are not allowed; improper use may damage the product and endanger persons and property.

Store this manual safely for future use.

This manual, as well as the design and manufacture of the devices that make up SIGNO, comply fully with the standards and regulations in force.

Considering the hazards that may exist during the installation and operation of SIGNO, it is necessary that also the installation be carried out in strict compliance with current legislation, standards and regulations, particularly:

• Before you start with the installation, check whether additional devices or materials are needed to complete the automation with SIGNO based on the specific application requirements.

• The automation system must not be used until it has been commissioned as described in the heading: Testing and commissioning.

• The packing materials must be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

• Do not make modifications to any components unless such action is specified in this manual. Operations of this type are likely to lead to malfunctions. NICE disclaims any liability for damage resulting from modified products.

• Do not immerse the automation parts in water or any other liquid. During installation, ensure that liquids do not leak into the control unit or other open devices.

• In the event that liquid substances have penetrated inside the automation devices, immediately disconnect the power supply and contact the NICE customer service department. The use of SIGNO in these conditions can be dangerous.

• Keep all components of SIGNO away from heat sources and open flames; these could damage the components and cause malfunctions, fire or dangerous situations.

• During long periods of inactivity, the optional battery should be removed and stored in a dry location to prevent leakage of noxious substances.

• Connect the control unit only to a power supply line equipped with safety grounding system.

• All operations requiring the opening of the door of the SIGNO device must be performed with the control unit disconnected from the power supply; if the disconnection device is not identifiable, affix a notice to the effect:

“WARNING: MAINTENANCE WORK IN PROGRESS”.

• In the event that any automatic switches are tripped or fuses blown, you must identify the fault and eliminate it before resetting the switches or replacing fuses.

If a fault occurs that cannot be solved using the information provided in this manual, refer to the NICE customer service department.

15 Product description

SIGNO is an electromechanical barrier operator including foundation plate, bracket for attachment of a rectangular section bar, and control unit.

The automation system is designed to reach its stroke limit positions (opening and closing strokes) with a deceleration phase, while monitoring motor load during the movement.

Thanks to these control systems any obstacles encountered in the range of the stroke are identified immediately causing reversal of the direction of movement (current sensor function). The system can be used in "manual",

"semiautomatic” and "automatic" mode with functions such as “Close 0 sec. after Photo”, “Always close" and two types of traffic light signalling. The control unit includes a cycles counter that allows management through time of system maintenance interventions, and it is also prearranged for inclusion of radio receivers with SM slot.

Optional accessories are available for all versions.

SIGNO 3 . Serves to automate an access protected by means of a barrier bar of up to 3 m in length

SIGNO 4 . Serves to automate an access protected by means of a barrier bar of up to 4 m in length

SIGNO 6 . Serves to automate an access protected by means of a barrier bar of up to 6 m in length
