4. Acceptance tests
ATTENTION!
After installing the controller and all associated devices, especially safety devices, final tests should be made to
check the entire automation. These tests should be performed by competent personnel who are aware of the risks
involved! Final tests are the most important phase in the implementation of automation. Individual components
such as the motor, photocells, etc. may require specific checks and therefore it is recommended to follow the
checking procedures in the manuals for the relevant components.
ATTENTION!
Both leaves of the gate, both during opening and closing, should present the same resistance to the
actuators. Therefore, wings of the same size and weight should be used. Moreover, the plane of the gate leaf
should be positioned in relation to the ground in such a way that the resistance varies during opening and
closing due to the force of gravity.
Final tests include the following steps
4.1. Direction control
Check whether the automation is physically moving in the opening direction when the OPENING
function is activated. In a situation when the movement is in the direction of closing, or there is no movement,
disconnect the power supply of the controller and switch the places of connecting the cables of the appropriate
actuator to the OPEN and CLOSE terminals. Check the operation again.
4.2. Making any additional controller settings
All required parameters of the controller operation should be set. We perform this operation on the basis
of the manual delivered with the control unit and this is where you should look for information on electrical
connections and the configuration of the controller itself.
4.3. Security control
If photocells are installed, break the photocells and check that the controller reacts appropriately. Do
the same for the other safety devices, if fitted.
4.4. Checking the functions controlling the movement of the actuator
Check that all devices (especially safety devices), buttons and radio transmitters properly control the
movement of the gate. If not, make the necessary corrections.
4.5. Control of emergency gate opening mechanisms
Carry out a trial unlocking of the mechanism with the gate closed in order to check the forces required
for this operation.
