C - INSTALLATION
HAZARD ANALYSIS
REGULATION
Installation of a motorised gate or a motor drive
on an existing gate within the framework of
“Residential” type use must be compliant with
Regulation (EU) 305/2011 concerning building
products.
The reference standard used to check this
compliance is EN 13241-1 which refers to EN
12453, which specifies the motorised gate safety
methods and components to reduce or completely
eliminate hazards to people.
The installer must train the end user on the correct
operation of the motorised gate, and the trained
user must train the other people likely to use the
motorised gate, using this guide.
It is specified in standard EN 12453 that the
minimum protection of the gate’s primary edge
depends on the type of use and the type of control
used to set the gate in motion.
The gate motor drive is a press control system, i.e.
simply pressing one of the control parts (remote
control, key selector, etc.) sets the gate in motion.
This gate motor drive is equipped with a force
limiter which complies with appendix A of EN
12453 standard, within the framework of use with a
gate that is compliant with the specifications given
in this chapter.
The specifications of EN12453 standard therefore
enable the 3 following use cases, as well as the
minimum levels of protection:
• Press activation with visible gate
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter only.
• Press activation with non-visible gate
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter and 2
pairs of photocells to protect the gate’s opening
and closing.
• Automatic control (automatic closure)
Minimum level of protection: Force limiter and 1
pair of photocells to protect the gate’s automatic
closing.
The flashing light is an essential safety component.
The photocell type safety devices and their correct
operation must be checked every six months.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE GATE TO
MOTORISE
This motor drive can automate openwork swing
gates up to
1.75 m
wide and
2.20 m
high and
weighing up to
150 kg
.
These maximum dimensions and weights are for
an openwork-type gate and for use in an area
that is not very windy. For use in an area with
significant wind speed, it is necessary to reduce
the maximum values indicated above for the gate
to be motorised.
SAFETY CHECKS ON THE GATE
The motorised gate is strictly for residential use.
The gate must not be installed in an explosive or
corrosive atmosphere (presence of gas, flammable
smoke, vapour or dust).
The gate must not have locking systems (latch,
lock, bolt, etc.).
The hinges of the gate must be on the same axis
and the axis must be vertical. The posts supporting
the gate must be strong and stable enough so that
they do not bend (or break) under the weight of the
gate. Without the motor drive, the gate must be
in good mechanical conditions, correctly balanced
and open and close without friction or resistance.
Greasing the hinges is recommended. Check that
the fastening points of the different components
are in locations that are sheltered from shock and
that the surfaces are solid enough. Check that the
gate does not have any part protruding from its
structure. The central stop and side stops must be
appropriately fastened so as not to give way under
the force exerted by the motorised gate.
If installation does not correspond to one of the
cases shown in the guide, contact us so that we
can provide all the components necessary for
proper installation with no risk of damage. The
motor drive cannot be used with a driven part that
has a door.
