5. Inspection and
commissioning
ATTENTION! – The operations described in this chapter
must only be performed by qualified and skilled staff,
respecting the instructions in the manual, the laws and the
Safety Standards in force on the territory.
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 Regulations: particularly,
all requisites of the EN 13241-1 Standard, which establishes the
test methods for checking the gate automations.
ATTENTION! – Before carrying out any check, disconnect
any electrical power input source.
5.1 - 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.
For the inspection, proceed as follows:
01. Check that everything envisioned in chapter 1 - General safety
warnings and precautions, is rigorously respected.
02. Close the gate.
03. Remove any electric power input source to the control unit.
04. Release the gear motor using the relative wrench, see
paragraph 3.6.
05. Open the panel manually until the maximum opening position
is reached and check that there is no friction during the
movement.
06. Check that the panel, left in any position of its run, does not
move.
07. Check that the safety systems and the mechanical stops are
in good working order.
08. Check that the screw connections are well-fastened.
09. 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, see paragraph
3.6.
11. Apply the electric power input to the control unit.
12. Measure the impact force according to the EN 12445 and
EN 12453 standards. 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.
13. Permanently fix a label, which describes how to manually
release the gear motor, in a zone adjacent to the automation.

5.2 - 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.
6. Product maintenance
Maintenance must be performed in strict observance of the
safety provisions in this manual and according to current
legislation and standards.
The automation devices do not require special maintenance.
However a check should be performed at least every six months
to ensure complete efficiency of all devices.
For this purpose, the tests and checks envisaged in paragraph
5.1 "Testing" should all be performed, as well as all procedure in
the paragraph "Maintenance operations permitted for the user".
If other devices are present, follow the instructions in the relative
maintenance schedule.
7. Disposal of the product
This product is an integral part of the automation and
therefore must be demolished with it.
As for installation, the plant must also be demolished by qualified
staff at the end of its life span.
This product is made up of various types of materials: some can
be re-cycled, others must be disposed of. Obtain information
regarding recycling or disposal systems envisioned by the
Standards in force on your territory for this category of product.
