Nice ROBO500 - Automation Testing and Commissioning; Product Disposal; Periodic Maintenance Operations

CAUTION! – All operations in this chapter must be performed
exclusively by skilled and qualied personnel, in observance of the
instructions in the manual, and current local legislation and safety
standards in the place of installation.
These are the most important phases of automation set-up to ensure
maximum system safety. The testing procedure described can also be
performed as a periodic check of automation devices.
Testing and commissioning of the automation must be performed by
skilledandqualiedpersonnel,whoareresponsibleforthetestsrequired
to verify the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and for
ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards and regulations: and
inparticularallrequirementsofthestandardEN12445,whichestablishes
the test methods for checking automations for gates.
7.1 - Automation testing
Each automation component, such as sensitive edges, photocells, emer-
gencystop,etc.,requiresaspecictestingphase;forthesedevicestake
caretofollowtheproceduresspeciedintherespectiveinstructionmanual.
To test, proceed as follows:
1 Ensurethatallspecicationsinthechapter“GENERALSAFETYPRE-
CAUTIONSAND WARNINGS”regardingsafety havebeenstrictly
observed;
2 Release the gearmotor by means of the special release key (refer to the
paragraph “Manually releasing or locking the gearmotor” in the “Opera-
tionmanual”);
3 Ensure that the gate leaf can be moved manually both in opening and
closing;
4 Then lock the gearmotor by means of the special key (refer to the para-
graph“Manuallyreleasingorlockingthegearmotor”);
5 Usingthecontrolorstopdevicesoftheautomation(key-operatedselec-
tor switch, control pushbuttons, transmitters, etc.) perform gate open-
ing and closing tests, ensuring that the leaf movement corresponds to
specications.Testseveraltimestoassesssmoothoperationofthe
gate and check for any defects in assembly or adjustment and any pos-
siblepointsoffriction;
6 Check operation of all system safety devices one at a time (photocells,
sensitive edges, etc.) and ensure that automation behaviour corre-
spondstospecications.Eachtimeasafetydeviceisactivated,theOK
ledonthecontrolunitmustemit2quickashes,toconrmacknowl-
edgementoftheeventbythecontrolunit;
7 MeasuretheimpactforceasspeciedinthestandardEN12445.Ifthe
motor force control is used by the control unit as an auxiliary function for
reduction of impact force, adjust the functions to identify the setting that
obtainsthebestresults;
8 Permanentlyafxalabelinthezoneadjacenttotheautomationdescrib-
ing how to manually release the gearmotor.
7.2 - Automation commissioning
Commissioning can only be performed after positive results of all
test phases. Partial or “makeshift” commissioning is strictly pro-
hibited.
1 Prepare the automation technical documentation (to be conserved for at
least 10 years), which must contain the following documents: an overall
layout diagram of the automation, electrical wiring diagram, risk assess-
ment and relative solutions adopted, manufacturer’s declaration of con-
formity for all devices used and the declaration of conformity compiled
by the installer, copy of instruction manual for operation and the auto-
mationmaintenanceschedule;
2 Afxadataplateonthedoor,specifyingatleastthefollowingdata:type
of automation, name and address of manufacturer (responsible for com-
missioning),serialnumber,yearofconstructionandCEmark;
3 Prepare and provide the automation owner with the declaration of con-
formity;theform“CE Declaration of conformity” must be compiled
forthispurpose;
4 Prepare and provide the automation owner with the form “Operation
manual”;
5 Prepare and provide the owner with the form “Maintenance sched-
ule”, containing all maintenance instructions for all devices in the auto-
mation;
6 Beforecommissioningtheautomation,ensurethattheownerisade-
quately informed of all associated risks and hazards.

PRODUCT DISPOSAL
This product is an integral part of the automation and therefore
must be disposed together with the latter.
As in installation, also at the end of product lifetime, the disassembly and
scrappingoperationsmustbeperformedbyqualiedpersonnel.
This product comprises various types of materials: some may be recycled
others must be disposed of. Seek information on the recycling and dispos-
al systems envisaged by the local regulations in your area for this product
category.
CAUTION! – some parts of the product may contain pollutant or hazard-
ous substances which, if disposed of into the environment, may cause
serious damage to the environment or physical health.
As indicated by the symbol alongside, disposal of this prod-
uct in domestic waste is strictly prohibited. Separate the
waste into categories for disposal, according to the meth-
ods envisaged by current legislation in your area, or return
the product to the retailer when purchasing a new version.
CAUTION! –Locallegislationmayenvisageseriousnesin
the event of abusive disposal of this product.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
Ingeneral,thisproductdoesnotrequirespecialmaintenance;however,
regularchecksovertimewillensuresystemefciencyandcorrectopera-
tion of the safety systems installed
The automation requires periodic maintenance to ensure optimal opera-
tion, extended lifetime and complete safety. Automation maintenance
must be scheduled at regular intervals. Scheduled routine maintenance
must be performed at the latest every 6 months.
To perform maintenance checks, proceed as follows.
CAUTION! - Disconnect all electric power sources before perform-
ing any checks.
•Checkallautomationcomponentsforwear;withspecialattentiontothe
phenomenaoferosionoroxidationofstructuralparts;ifnecessaryreplace
partsthatshowreducedefciency.
•Checkthemovingpartsforwear:Pinion,rack,andallpartsmakingup
thegateleaf;replacewornpartsasnecessary.
•Oncompletionofthemaintenancechecks,reconnecttheelectricpower
supply and perform all tests and checks as envisaged in chapter 4.
