ZONE 1
Risk of crushing during
closing
ZONE 2
Risk of trapping and
cutting on the surface
of the gate
ZONE 3
Risk of crushing with
an adjoining fixed part
upon opening
ZONE 4
Risk of trapping and
crushing between the
roller rails and bearings
ZONE 5

Protection by safety edge(s)
(confirm detection by measuring
the force; see paragraph Force
measurement)
For operation with automatic
closing, install photoelectric
cells (see installation manual)
Protection by safety edge(s)
(confirm detection by measuring

Eliminate any gap ≥ 20 mm
Protection by safety edge(s)
(confirm detection by measuring

Protection via safety distances
(see figure 1)
Eliminate all sharp edges on
the guide rails
Eliminate any gap ≥ 8 mm
between the rails and the
bearings
Alter the installation dimensions
to ensure a space greater than
8 mm

> Force measurement
Take the mid-height measurement

of the gate by positioning the
measuring tool perpendicular to
1400N
the panel that is closing.

d The standard stipulates:
- dynamic force ≤ 400 N
- dynamic time ≤ 750 ms
