Final Checks And Maintenance - BFT FAUNUS 600 Mode D'emploi

FINAL CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE

Before the automated system is finally put into operation, and during maintenance work,
perform the following checks meticulously:
- Affix a door/gate identification plate, also affix a warning sign on the frame.
- Make sure that, during operation, mechanical risks are avoided or relevant protective measures
taken and, more specifically, that nothing can be banged, crushed, caught or cut between
the part being operated and the surrounding parts.
- Make sure the motor automation settings are correct and that the safety and release systems
are working properly.
- Make sure all components are fastened securely;
- Check starting and stopping operations in the case of manual control;
- Make sure all safety devices are in good working order (photocells,etc.) and that safety devices
are correctly adjusted. Above all, make sure that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and the
drive reverts the direction of travel if the door meets a 50mm-high obstacle on the ground.
- Make sure that the emergency operation works, where this feature is provided.
- Check opening and closing operations with the control devices applied.
- Check that electrical connections and cabling are intact, making extra sure that insulating
sheaths and cable glands are undamaged.
- While performing maintenance, clean the photocells' optics.
- When the automated system is out of service for any length of time, activate the emergency
release so that the operated part is made idle, thus allowing the gate to be opened and
closed manually.
- The maintenance described above must be repeated at least once yearly or at shorter intervals
where site or installation conditions make this necessary.
- If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its technical service
or anyway by someone with a similar qualification, in order to prevent all risks.
- Above all, make sure, monthly, that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and the drive reverts
the direction of travel if the door meets a 50mm-high obstacle on the ground.
- Check that the release chord is not higher than 1.8m, and if so, lengthen it to make it accessible.
- Check that any fixed control is installed 1,5m high, at least, is not accessible to the public and
is in view of the door but far from any moving parts.
- Apply in a permanent fashion the labels warning about the danger of being crushed.
