[5] Impact and crashing on the lower retaining
edge (figure 1, risk A)
Install two photo-cells (recommended height:
200 mm) to detect the presence of the test
parallelepiped (height 300 mm) positioned as
indicated in the figure.
In case of a tilting gate installed in a private
residence, which does not face onto a public area,
and does not work with time automatic closing,
the photocell is not compulsory.
To avoid the impact with trucks and jeeps that
park in the passageway, it is necessary to install
an additional couple of photocells at a height of
1000 mm.
N.B.
The sample for detection is a parallelepiped
(700 x 300 x 200mm) having 3 sides with clear
and reflective surfaces and 3 sides with dark and
opaque surfaces.
[6] Crashing, conveyance and cutting on the
upper
retaining edge (figure 1, risk B)
Check that the height of the open space is > 2500
mm;
or
mount a safety device that complies with the EN
12978 norm (e.g. a sensitive edge);
or
in case of a tilting gate installed in a private residence,
which does not face onto a public area, and does not
work with time automatic closing, this device is not
compulsory.
[7] Lifting hazard
□
Check that the gate is not able to lift a weight of 20 kg
(or 40 kg in case of gates installed in private areas).
[8] Shearing on the motor’s lateral arms
(figure 1, risk D)
□
Check that the motor's and gate's arms do not form
shearing points among them, with the rigid coupling and
the door; or
□
Isolate and protect your hands from coming into
contact with the motor's and gate's arms; or
□
this protection is not compulsory in case of a tilting
gate installed in a private residence, which does not face
onto a public area, and does not work with time
automatic closing.
