Radio remote control
• The radio remote control may only be used for equipment and systems in
which defective remote operation of the transmitter or receiver does not
constitute a risk to people, animals or property, or in cases where this risk
is eliminated by means of additional safety facilities.
• All persons operating the gate must be instructed that systems, where
there is a risk of injury or damage, may not be operated by remote con-
trol, or that such operation is only permitted, if all movements of the gate
can be supervised.
• The radio remote control device may only be used, if the operator can
fully supervise the movement of the device and if no persons or objects
are within the movement range of the gate.
• Keep the remote control device out of reach of children or animals and
prevent any inadvertent use.
• The operator of this radio-controlled equipment is not in any way pro-
tected against interference from other telecommunication systems and
facilities (e.g. other radio-controlled equipment that is licensed to operate
at the same frequency range). If such interference occurs, please con-
tact the local radio and telecommunications authority requesting a radi-
olocation.
• Do not use hand-held transmitters near locations or installations that are
susceptible to radio interference (e.g. airports, hospitals).

The rating plate is located on the cover of the control unit housing.
Normal Use
After the drive system has been installed, the person responsible
for the installation must complete an EU Declaration of Confor-
mity according to Machine Directive 98/37/EU and attach a CE
mark at the type plate of the drive.
This also applies in cases where the owner of the system is a
private person, as well as to manually operated gates that have
been upgraded with a drive. The above documents and the
instructions for installation and operation must be handed over
to the operator.
• The drives are exclusively designed for the opening and closing of gates.
Any other use is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not be liable
for damages resulting from improper use. The user accepts sole respon-
sibility for any risks thereby incurred. Improper use shall void all warranty.
• Gates that are to be upgraded with an automatic drive system must com-
ply with the applicable standards and directives as amended,
e.g. EN 12 453, EN 12604, EN 12605.
• The drive system may only be operated if it is in proper working order.
Always follow standard safety procedures and adhere to the instructions
in this installation and operating manual.
• Immediately eliminate any defects that might impair the safety of the
equipment.
• The gate wings must only have minimum play at the hinges.
• The gate wings must be stable and warp-proof, i.e. they may not bend or
warp during opening or closing operation.
• The DSTA24 control and twist 200 drive systems may only be operated in
conjunction.
• The DSTA24 control and the twist 200 drives are designed for use in
private premises.
• The electric drive may only be used for the opening and closing of gates
with one or two wings.
