This manual provides the correct procedures and requirements
for installing BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC and maintaining it in a safe
condition.
When drafting the manual, the results of the risk assessment con-
ducted by FAAC S.p.A. on the entire 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 con-
sidered:
- 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 gate falls under the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and the corresponding harmonised standards. Anyone
automating a gate (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 gate 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 12453
standard and in particular that you adopt the safety criteria and de-
vices indicated, without exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and guidelines,
which are purely illustrative and not exhaustive, 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 harmo-
nised standards on the basis of the actual condition of the locations
and structures where the product BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC 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 standards. The au-
tomation of a gate must fully comply with any laws, standards and
regulations applicable in the country where installation will take place.
