13. TESTING
It is the responsibility of the person testing and configuring the automatic gate opener (of which the control
unit is part) to conduct the checks required in relation to the existing risk and to check compliance with the
applicable legislation and standards, in particular with EN 12453, which specifies performance requirements for
operational safety.
• Testing and trial runs are the most important steps in an installation to ensure maximum operational safety.
• Inspections and testing procedures can also be used for routine checks of the device and its equipment.
• The device may only be tested if a non-hazardous force tolerance has been set. The force tolerance must be
set to a minimum value to avoid the risk of injury during the closing sequence.
• The maximum force must be set in accordance with EN 12453.
• Do not touch the gate or movable parts while they are moving.
• Stay at a safe distance while the gate is moving. Cross only when the gate is fully open and motionless.
• In the event of a malfunction (noise, abrupt movements, etc.), stop using the device immediately: failure to
comply with this rule may lead to serious dangers, risk of accidents and/or severe damage to the gate and the
device.
• Check if the recommendations given in the sections SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS and
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS have been strictly followed.
• Ensure that the device is correctly set and that the safety and release systems work properly.
ATTENTION: once the device has been tested, its parameters must not be changed. If further changes are made
(e.g. change in voltage value), all checks required for testing and compliance with EN 12453 must be repeated.
14. USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage or injuries caused by failure to comply with the usage
information contained in this manual and by failure to comply with the safety precautions listed below.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage and malfunctions caused by not following the usage
recommendations.
• This manual should be kept in a safe and easily accessible place to be consulted quickly when needed.
• Before activating the gate, ensure that every person is at a safe distance.
• Do not touch the gate or movable parts while they are moving.
• Stay at a safe distance while the gate is moving. Cross only when the gate is fully open and motionless.
• Children must not be allowed to play with the gate controls; do not leave the radio control device or other control
devices in a place within reach of children.
• Children must not play or be in the vicinity of the gate or the controls (radio control device). The same
precautions should be taken with regard to disabled people and animals.
• In the event of a malfunction (noise, abrupt movements, etc.), stop using the device immediately: failur e to
comply with this rule may lead to serious dangers, risk of accidents and/or severe damage to the gate and the
device. Contact the Manufacturer’s Technical Assistance Department, and in the meantime, use the gate
manually by disconnecting the actuator (see chapter Manual unlocking).
• To maintain the device efficiently, ensure that the operations indicated in the MAINTENANCE section are
conducted as often as indicated by a PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER.
• Inspect the device frequently to check for signs of mechanical imbalance, wear, or damage to cables and
installed parts: do not use the device until the required repairs or adjustments have been made.
• If the control unit comes into contact with any liquid, disconnect the power supply and contact the
Manufacturer’s Technical Assistance Department immediately. This may be extremely dangerous for the user.
The device cannot be used under such circumstances, not even using buffer batteries (optional).
• If a problem cannot be solved using the information in this manual, contact the Manufacturer’s Technical
Assistance Department.
