EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
In case of emergency, for example when the elec-
trical power is disconnected, open the electric lock
by means of the appropriate key to release the gate,
and open the leaf manually; you may also reach the
release knob to facilitate the manoeuvre. In order
to get access to the release knob, move the small
cap in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig.1) to
reveal the lock, insert the key, turn it clockwise by
90° and lift the entire release cover by pulling with
the key. The knob must be allowed to turn as far as
possible in the direction indicated by the arrows.
OPEN to release: the gate can be opened manually
with ease.
CLOSE to lock : turn the knob clockwise until it is
completely locked, and so restore the actua-
tor electrical operation.
The electric lock can also be used to keep the block
of the gate in case of actuator malfunction or cu-
rrent failure.
