Inspecting the automation
This is the most important phase in realising the automation to gua-
rantee maximum safety. The inspection can be used also to periodi-
cally check the devices which make up the automatism.
The inspection of the entire system must be performed by ex-
pert and qualified staff
who must take responsibility of the tests
requested, depending on the risk involved and to check compliance
of what is set out by laws, rules and regulations and in particular all
the requirements of regulation EN 12445 which establishes the te-
sting methods to verify gate automatisms.
Inspection
Each single component of the automatism, for example sensitive
edges, photocells, emergency shutdowns, etc. requires a specific
inspection phase; for these devices follow the procedures shown in
the respective instruction manuals.
For inspection of the gear motor follow the operations below:
01.
Check that everything in this manual and in particular in chapter
1 has been rigorously complied with;
02.
Unblock the gear motor as shown in
fig. 8
;
03.
Check it is possible to manually move the leaf when opening and
closing with a force no greater than 390N (approx. 40 kg);
04.
Block the gear motor and connect the electrical power supply;
05
. Using the control or shutdown devices envisaged (key selector
switch, control buttons or radio transmitters), perform a number of
opening, closing and stopping tests of the gate and check it behaves
as it should;
06.
Check the correct operation of all the safety devices one by one
in the system (photocells, sensitive edges, emergency shutdown,
etc.) and check the gate behaves as it should;
07.
Command a closing manoeuvre and check the force of the im-
pact of the leaf against the end of the mechanical limit switch. If
necessary, try to unload the pressure, finding a setting which gives
better results;
08.
If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf
have been protected by limiting the force of impact the force must be
measured as required by regulation EN 12445;
Note
– The gear motor is not provided with torque setting devices,
such regulations are done by the Control unit.
Putting into operation
This can occur only after having performed, with positive results, all
the inspection phases of the gear motor and other devices present.
To put it into operation refer to the instructions manual of the control
unit.
IMPORTANT
– It is forbidden to put into partial or provisional
operation.
6.
Product maintenance
To keep the level of safety consistent and to guarantee maximum life
of the entire automation it is necessary to maintain it regularly.
The maintenance must be performed in line with the safety instruc-
tions of this manual and according to what is set out by the laws and
regulations in force.
For the gear motor a programmed maintenance within no more than
6 months is required.
Maintenance operations:
01.
Disconnect any sources of electricity.
02.
Check the status of deterioration of all the materials which make
up the automation with particular attention to signs of erosion or oxi-
dation of the structural parts: replace the parts which do not provide
sufficient guarantees.
03.
Check the screw connections are sufficiently tight.
04.
Check the bolt and endless screw are suitably greased.
05.
Check the wear of the moving parts and, if necessary, replace
used parts.
06.
Reconnect the sources of electrical power and perform all the
tests and checks envisaged in chapter 5.
For the other devices present in the system refer to the individual
instruction manuals.
7.
