TESTING AND START-UP
In implementing the automation device, these are the most
important steps for guaranteeing maximum safety.
V2 recommends the application of the following technical
standards:
• EN 12445 (Safety in the use of automated closures, test
methods)
• EN 12453 (Safety in the use of automated closures,
requirements)
• EN 60204–1 (Safety of Machinery, electrical equipment of
machines, part 1: general principles)
In particular, with reference to the table in the section
“PRELIMINARY CHECKS and IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF
USE” in the majority of cases, it will be necessary to measure the
impact force, in accordance with the provisions of EN 12445.
The impact force profile should be measured using an appropriate
device (itself also certified and subjected to annual calibration)
capable of tracing the force-time graph.
The result should be in compliance with the following maximum
values:
For a comprehensive guide on the installation of automation
devices and the documentation to be prepared, we recommend
use of the guides issued by the Italian association UNAC,

MAINTENANCE
m
Before carrying out any maintenance operation,
disconnect the device from the power supply.
m
If you have to dismount the operator from its
supports, first tighten the discharge screw in order to
prevent the hydraulic fluid from leaking.
Maintenance should be performed in full compliance with the
safety instructions described in this manual and in accordance
with current legal and regulatory provisions.
The recommended interval between each maintenance operation
is six months, the checks involved should at least relate to:
• the perfect efficiency of all warning devices
• the perfect efficiency of all safety devices
• measurement of the gate operating forces
• the lubrication of mechanical parts on the automation device
(where necessary)
• the state of wear of the mechanical parts on the automation
device
• the state of wear of the electrical cables on the
electromechanical actuators
The result of each check should be recorded in a gate
maintenance log.
