8 COMMISSIONING
8.1 INTENDED USE
The gate is intended to control access to a specific plot, premises or site. The gate is intended for both
industrial and private use.
The gate drive and control unit is adjusted to the options agreed with the user. The relevant options
are laid down during hand-over.
Carefully read this user manual before operating the gate. You must always be familiar with
the operating mode the gate is in.
8.2 OPERATING MODES
The control software is divided into separate function modules and is available to users in three
possible operating modes:
dead man's operation
automatic mode
emergency operation (only for the Netherlands)
8.2.1 DEAD MAN'S OPERATION
The gate motor drive can be operated in dead man's mode with limited comfort. In dead man’s mode,
the gate does not require anti-crushing safety protection devices. The gate will move as long as an
OPEN or CLOSE key is pressed.
Dead man's operation is only permitted if the operator can see the entire gate system.
The drive and control unit must be fitted to the gate.
8.2.2 AUTOMATIC MODE
If the safety facilities have been installed completely, the motor drive will usually work in this
automatic mode. The user can only use all motor drive functions in automatic mode. Total safety of
the gate is guaranteed here by the activated safety facilities.
Opening or closing the gate can be initiated in automatic mode by means of the backplane and:
two command keys (OPEN, CLOSE)
one impulse input with toggle function (OPEN, STOP, CLOSE, STOP)
3x3 impulse inputs for OPEN, STOP and CLOSE commands
1 impulse input with PART OPEN function
