After the above checks and adjustments, the system can now be tested.
The automation system must be tested by qualified and expert personnel who must establish what tests to perform
according to the relative risk.
Testing is the most important part of the whole installation phase. Each single component, e.g. the gearmotor, emergency stop, photocells,
etc., may require a specific test phase; please follow the procedures shown in the respective instructions manuals.
To test the control unit, perform the following operations:
1. Function selection:
• Set Dip-Switch 1 to ON (“Semiautomatic” operation)
• Set all the other Dip-Switches to OFF
2. Press the “Step-by-Step” button and check that:
• An opening manoeuvre starts
• The flashing lamp activates
• The movement stops when the opening limit switch FCA is reached.
3. Press the “Step-by-Step” button again and check that:
• A closing manoeuvre starts
• The flashing lamp activates
• The movement stops when the closing limit switch FCC is reached CC
4. Start an opening manoeuvre and check that during the manoeuvre the triggering of a device:
• Connected to the “Stop” input causes an immediate stop and a short reverse run
• Connected to the “Photo” input stops and reverses the manoeuvre
5. Start a closing manoeuvre and check that during the manoeuvre the cut-in of a device:
• Connected to the “Stop” input causes an immediate stop and a short reverse run
• Connected to the “Photo” input stops and reverses the manoeuvre
6. Press the “Step-by-Step” button and make sure that each activation of the input generates a step in the following sequence:
• “Open” – “Stop” – “Close” – “Stop”
7. If the “Phototest” function is used, check the test is efficient:
• Interrupt the “Photo” photocell, then start a manoeuvre and check this is not performed
• Short the “Photo” photocell contact, then start a manoeuvre and check this is not performed.
8. Perform the tests for detecting Impact Forces as required by EN 12445.
If further functions are activated after testing has finished that could reduce the safety of the system, specific testing of these functions must
be performed.
