1) Intended Purpose
This motor control unit is intended for the following 24V/DC drive units:
- On one or two-leaf garage or courtyard gate systems (e.g. hinged, sliding, tilting
and up-and-over gates)
- In industrial, residential, business and commercial areas and in small businesses
- According to the stipulations in these instructions.
These instructions are intended for the fitter of the control unit and the processing
industry, however not for issue to the owner/operator of the gate system. The end
product manufacturer is responsible for preparing suitable instructions for the complete
gate system.
a) Requirements
The motor control unit is not operational until it is installed in the ready for use gate
system.
This requires external components such as e.g. ...
- command input devices,
- signalling devices,
- sensors and
- the drive unit,
but which are not supplied with this motor control unit.
This control unit is therefore a "non ready for use component" from a legal point of
view. It therefore does not fall within the scope of various EC Directives until it is
integrated in the end product (gate system).
b) Legal requirements
The end product manufacturer is thus responsible for compliance and declaration of
CE conformity. The control unit complies with the requirements in
- DIN EN 60204. This makes it easier for you to carry out the conformity assessment
according to the Machinery Directive.
- DIN EN 50081 T1/2 and EN 55011 and EN 55014. This makes it easier for you to
carry out the conformity assessment according to the EMC Directive.
- VDE 0700 Part 95 (Draft 02/98; IEC 60335-2-95) and EN 12445 and EN 12453
concerning requirements for motor control units for "power-driven doors and gates"
(formerly ZH 1/494).
- DIN EN 60335-1. This makes it easier for you to prepare the declaration of
conformity according to the so-called "Low Voltage Directive".
- EN 61 508, SIL2, Functional Safety.
