This manual provides the correct procedures and

When drafting the manual, the results of the risk

product life cycle have been taken into account in
order to implement effective risk reduction measures.
The following stages of the life cycle of the product
have been considered:
- Delivery/handling
- Assembly and installation
- Set-up and commissioning
- Operation
- Maintenance/troubleshooting
- Disposal at the end of the product’s life cycle
Risks arising from installation and using the product
have been taken into consideration; these include:
- Risks for the installation/maintenance technician
(technical personnel)
- Risks for the user of the automation system
- Risks to product integrity (damage)
In Europe, the automation of a door falls under the Ma-
chinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the corresponding
harmonised standards. Anyone automating a door
(new or existing) is classified as the Manufacturer of the
Machine. They are therefore required by law, among
other things, to carry out a risk analysis of the machine
( automatic door in its entirety) and take protective
measures to fulfil the essential safety requirements
specified in Annex I of the Machinery Directive.
FAAC S.p.A. recommends that you always comply with
the EN 16005:2012 standard and in particular that
you adopt the criteria and safety devices indicated,
without exception.
This manual also contains general information and
guidelines, which are purely illustrative and not exhau-
stive, in order to facilitate the activities carried out by
the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects with
regard to carrying out the risk analysis and drafting the
instructions for use and maintenance of the machine. It
should be clearly understood that FAAC S.p.A. accepts
no liability for the reliability and/ or completeness of
the above instructions. As such, the manufacturer of
the machine must carry out all the activities required
by the Machinery Directive and the corresponding
harmonised standards on the basis of the actual
condition of the locations and structures where the
product A951 will be installed, prior to commissioning
the machine. These activities include the analysis of all
the risks associated with the machine and subsequent
implementation of all safety measures intended to
fulfil the essential safety requirements.
This manual contains references to European stan-
dards. The automation of a door must fully comply
with any laws, standards and regulations applicable in
the country where installation will take place.
