EN-7
6 START-UP
The start-up phase is very important to ensure maximum security and compliance to regulations, including all the requirements of EN
12445 standard which establishes the test methods for testing the automation for gates.
DEA
System reminds that all installation, maintenance, cleaning or repair operations on any part of the system must be performed
exclusively by qualified personnel who must be responsible of all texts requie by the eventual risk;
6.1 Installation test
The testing operation is essential in order to verify the correct installation of the system.
DEA
System wants to summarize the proper
testing of all the automation in 4 easy steps:
• Make sure that you comply strictly as described in paragraph 2 “WARNINGS SUMMARY”;
• Test the opening and closing making sure that the movement of the leaf match as expected. We suggest in this regard to perform
various tests to assess the smoothness of the gate and defects in assembly or adjustment;
• Ensure that all safety devices connected work properly;
• Perform the measurement of impact forces in accordance with the standard 12445 to find the setting that ensures compliance with
the limits set by the standard EN12453.
WARNING
Using spare parts not indicated by
DEA
System and/or incorrect re-assembly can create a risk to people, animals and
property and also damage the product. For this reason, always use only the parts indicated by
DEA
System and scrupulously follow all
assembly instructions.
6.2 Unlocking and Manual operation
In the event of malfunctions or simple power failure, release the motor (Pic. 7) and perform the operation manually.
The knowledge of the unlocking operation is very important, because in times of emergency the lack of timeliness in acting on such
a device can be dangerous.
WARNING
The efficancy and safety of manual operation of the automation is guaranteed by
DEA
System only if the installation has
been installed correctly and with original accessories.
7 MAINTENANCE
Good preventive maintenance and regular inspection ensure
long working life. In the table below you will find a listo f inspections/
maintenance operations to be programmed and executed periodi-
cally.
Consult the TROUBLE-SHOOTING” table whenever anomalies are
observed in order to find the solution to the problem and contact
DEA
System directly whenever the solution required is not provided.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Description
Possible solutions
When the opening or closing command is activated the
gate leaf fails to move and the operator’s electric motor
fails to start.
The operator is not receiving correct power supply. Check all connections, fuses, and the
power supply cable conditions and replace or repair if necessary. If the gate does not close
check the correct functioning of photocells.
When the opening command is activated, the motor starts
but the gate leafs fail to move.
Check that the unlocking system is closed (see Pic. 7).
Check the electronic force adjustment device and the mechanical clutch.
Make sure that the motor does not push in the opposite direction, the limit switch electrical
connections might be reversed.
The gate moves by fits and starts, it is noisy, it stops at half
run or it does not start.
Make sure that nothing hinders the gate wheels movement and the slide in which they roll.
There always must be backlash between rack and pinion; make sure the rack is accurately
positioned.
The power of the gearmotor may be insufficient for the characteristics of the gate’s wing;
check the choice of model whenever requiredh.
If the operator attachment to the gate bends or is badly fastened, repair and/or buttress it.
