Lubrication:
Any grease nipple (All other items are “sealed for life” and require no lubrication)
Function checks:
• Overall barrier structure is plumb
• Lubricate any parts that need lubricating see section “Lubrication” above
• Gearbox oil level
• Function of manual release
• Torque setting on control unit (If obstacle detection has been used)
•Obstacle detection effectiveness (measure forces: not a legal requirement)
• Overall function/condition of motor/gearbox
• Function and condition of safe edges
• Photocells internal and external
• Sealing of photocell covers and cable entry
• Wire terminations in control panel
• Sealing of control unit cover and cable entries
• Condition of all wiring and junction boxes
• Function of all controls – transmitters, loop and intercoms
•Security and effectiveness of all earth connections
• Test earth fault loop resistance and RCD function (MCB is preferred)
• Reassess and check the ongoing validity of the hazard assessment
Performance tests:
Force Test (Not a legal requirement but advisory)
Check that the manual release is working
Ensure that the barrier is running smoothly
Check Flashing Beacon is working (If fitted)
Check any safety devices fitted are working as designed (Loops/Photocells/Light Curtains etc.)
