INSPECTION AND COMMISSIONING
This is the most important phase in the realisation of the automation, in order to
guarantee maximum safety of the system. The inspection procedure described
can also be used to periodically check the devices that make up the automation.
The inspection phases and commissioning of the automation must be
performed by qualified and expert staff that must establish the tests
necessary to check the solutions used regarding the risks present and
to check respect with that envisioned by the Laws, Standards and Reg-
ulations: particularly, all requisites of the EN 13241-1 Standard, which estab-
lishes the test methods for checking the gate automations.
6.1 - Inspection
Each individual component of the automation, e.g. sensitive edges, photocells,
emergency stop etc requires a specific inspection phase. For these devices
the procedures given in the respective instruction manuals must be performed.
To test LFAB(...) / BFAB(...) proceed as follows:
1 Check that everything envisioned in chapter 1 - General safety warnings
and precautions, is rigorously respected.
2 Close the gate.
3 ATTENTION! – Remove any electric power input source to the con-
trol unit.
4 Release the gear motor using the relative wrench (read Chapter 8).
5 Open the panel manually until the maximum opening position is reached
and check that there is no friction during the movement.
6 Check that the panel, left in any position of its run, does not move.
7 Check that the safety systems and the mechanical stops are in good work-
ing order.
8 Check that the screw connections are well-fastened.
9 If necessary, clean the inside of the foundation case and check that the
water drain functions correctly.
10 Block the gear motor using the relative wrench (read Chapter 8).
11 Apply the electric power input to the control unit.
12 Measure the force of impact according to that envisioned by the EN 12445
Standard. If the control of the "driving force" is used by the control unit
as an auxiliary to the system for the reduction of the force of impact, try
and adjust the functions that offer better parameters. LFAB(...) / BFAB(...) is
not equipped with any torque adjustment device, therefore this operation is
performed by the control unit.
13 Permanently fix a label, which describes how to manually release the gear
motor, in a zone adjacent to the automation.
6.2 - Commissioning
Commissioning can only be performed after all of the inspection phases of
the gear motor and other devices present have been performed with positive
results. For commissioning refer to the control unit instruction manual.
IMPORTANT – Partial commissioning or in "temporary" situations is
prohibited.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
LFAB(...) / BFAB(...) does not require any special maintenance; however, rou-
tine checks conducted every six months at least will ensure the long life of the
gearmotor as well as the correct and safe operation of the system.
Maintenance consists simply in repeating the testing procedure.
