13 - TESTING AND START-UP
In implementing the automation device, these are the most
important steps for guaranteeing maximum safety.
V2 recommends the application of the following technical
standards:
• EN 12445 (Safety in the use of automated closures, test
methods)
• EN 12453 (Safety in the use of automated closures,
requirements)
• EN 60204–1 (Safety of Machinery, electrical equipment of
machines, part 1: general principles)
In particular, with reference to the table in the section
"PRELIMINARY CHECKS and IDENTIFICATION OF THE TYPE OF
USE" in the majority of cases, it will be necessary to measure the
impact force, in accordance with the provisions of EN 12445.
Adjusting the operating force is possible by programming the
electronic circuit board, and the impact force profile should be
measured using an appropriate device (itself also certified and
subjected to annual calibration) capable of tracing the force-time
graph.
The result should be in compliance with the following maximum
values:
Force

devices and the documentation to be prepared, we recommend

14 - MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be performed in full compliance with the
safety instructions described in this manual and in accordance
with current legal and regulatory provisions.
The recommended interval between each maintenance operation
is six months, the checks involved should at least relate to:
• the perfect efficiency of all warning devices
• the perfect efficiency of all safety devices
• measurement of the gate operating forces
• the lubrication of mechanical parts on the automation device
(where necessary)
• the state of wear of the mechanical parts on the automation
device
• the state of wear of the electrical cables on the
electromechanical actuators
The result of each check should be recorded in a gate
maintenance log.
15 - DISPOSAL
Packaging materials (plastic, polystyrene etc.) should not be
disposed of in the environment and should not be left within the
reach of children, since they constitute sources of danger.
The ZARISS device is made from various types of materials, some
of which may be recycled (aluminium, plastic, electrical cables),
others should be disposed of (electronic circuit boards and
components).
PLEASE NOTE: certain electronic components may contain
pollutants; do not dispose of them in the environment.
Please seek information regarding recycling or disposal systems
and adhere to all current local regulations.
