TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
vice-versa; finally, make sure that it causes the intended action in the
control unit; for example that it causes the reversal of the movement
during the closing manoeuvre.
05.
Measure the force as specified in the standard EN 12445. If the motor
force control is used as an auxiliary function for reduction of impact
force, test and identify the setting that obtains the best results.
8.2 - COMMISSIONING
Commissioning can take place only after all testing phases have
been terminated successfully. Partial or “makeshift” commission-
ing is strictly prohibited.
01.
Draw up the technical dossier of the automation that should include
as a minimum: overall design (for example
fig. 1
), electrical connec-
––– STEP 8 –––
These are the most important stage in the automation system installation
procedure in order to ensure the maximum safety levels.
Testing can also be adopted as a method of periodically checking that all
the various devices in the system are functioning correctly.
Testing and commissioning of the automation must be performed
by skilled and qualified personnel, who are responsible for the
tests required according to the risks present, and for ensuring
observance of all legal provisions, standards and regulations, and
in particular all requirements of the standard EN 12445, which
establishes the test methods for checking automations for gates.
8.1 - TESTING
01.
Ensure that you have strictly complied with the instructions
and warnings in STEP 1.
02.
Using the selector switch or the radio transmitter, carry out testing of
opening and closing the gate and check that the movement of the
leaves corresponds to what is expected. It is useful to perform sev-
eral tests to evaluate the freedom of movement of the gate and any
adjustment or installation faults, as well as the presence of particular
points of friction.
03.
Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one
(photocells, safety edges, etc.). In particular, each time a device is
activated, the “ECSBus” LED on the control unit flashes longer, con-
firming that the control unit has recognised this.
04.
To check the photocells and make sure that there is no interference
with other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylinder (
fig.
30
) on the optical axis, first near TX, then near RX and finally at the
mid-point between them and make sure that in all these cases the
device is triggered, switching from the active to the alarm status and
