AUTOMATION TESTING
These are the most important stages in the automation’s construction in order to ensure maximum safety. Testing can also be adopted as a
method for periodically checking that all the various devices in the system are functioning correctly.
Testing of the entire system must be performed by qualied and experienced personnel who must establish which tests to conduct on
the basis of the risks involved, and verify the compliance of the system with applicable regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with all the
provisions of EN12445 which establishes the test methods for automation systems for gates.
5.1 - Testing
Each component of the system, (safety edges, photocells, emergency stop, etc.) requires a specific testing phase. To do so, follow the proce-
dures given in the instruction manuals.
Run the test as follows:
01. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in particular in chapter 1 have been observed in full.
02. Manually release the gearmotor
03. Make sure you can move the door manually both during opening and closing with a force of max. 390 N (40 kg approx.).
04. Manually lock the gearmotor
05. Hook up the electrical power supply
06. Use the control or stop devices to test the opening, closing and stopping of the gate and that it behaves as intended.
07. Check the operation of all safety devices, and check that the gate performs as it should.
08. Activate a closing manoeuvre and check impact force of the door against the mechanical stop. If necessary, reduce the pressure for
better adjustment
09. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the gate have been made safe by limiting the impact force, the user must
measure the impact force according to EN12445.
Note – The gearmotor’s torque cannot be adjusted directly: this adjustment is done by the control unit.
5.2 - Commissioning
Commissioning may only be done when all the gearmotor tests specified in par. 5.1, and those of the other equipment, have been passed: to
commission the unit, refer to the control unit manual.
IMPORTANT - It is not permissible to execute partial commissioning or to enable use of the system in makeshift conditions.
