In order to comply with Type 2 of safety standard EN12453 (the safety standard for the use of powered doors),
an automatic test of the output(s) of the PSSW should be applied and checked by the gate/door control unit be-
fore every operation. If the outputs fail to respond, the operation of the gate/door should be prevented until the
situation is corrected. The auto-test can be applied by a signal connected to ATEST1 (for output R1) and/or
ATEST2 for (output R2). Only apply the auto-test for outputs that are being used. . The PSSW/RX can deal with
positive- or negative-polarity auto-test signals applied by the gate control cabinet.

With no jumper in the ATEST POL position, the applied auto-test signal should normally be at 0V and go to
+12/24V for at least 2s before returning to 0V. With a jumper in the ATEST POL position, the applied auto-test
signal should normally be at +12/24V and go to 0V for at least 2s before returning to +12/24V. The COM con-
nection for ATEST1 and ATEST2 (pin 7) must be connected to the common of the control unit applying the
auto-test.
Applying the auto-test signal should cause the relevant output to change state and this should be checked.
With no jumper in ATEST POL and no auto-test signal applied, EN12453 will not be fully complied with.
•
*N.B.: Only connect the auto-test output to be used.
•
** Where the auto-test is not used, the system is not checked at the start of the operation, which means
that safety standard EN 12453 regarding the use of a powered door or gate, is in some cases, not
complied with.
INSTALLATION ADVICE
Install the equipment so that the cable
gland is at the bottom. In installations that
could possibly have range problems be-
tween the transmitter and receiver, ensure
that the antenna hangs vertically from the
hole in the cable gland.
Do not fit the equipment at ground level.
Do not place metal surfaces between the
transmitter and the receiver
The transmitter and receiver antennae must be parallel
to each other for optimum signal reception
Once the system has been installed, check that it works correctly by enabling the
safety edge on the ends of the powered gate.
