6 TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
These are the most important phases of the automation’s construction, as
they ensure maximum safety of the system. The test can also be used to
periodically verify the devices making up the automation.
m
Testing and commissioning of the automation must be
performed by skilled and qualied personnel, who are
responsible for the tests required to verify the solutions
adopted according to the risks present, and for ensuring
that all legal provisions, standards and regulations are
met, in particular all the requirements of the EN 12453
standard, which denes the test methods for checking
door automations.
The additional devices must undergo specic testing, both in terms of their
functions and their proper interaction with the control unit. Refer to the
instruction manuals of the individual devices.
6.1 TESTING
To run the test:
1. verify that all the instructions stated in the “GENERAL SAFETY
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS” chapter (page 3) have been
strictly observed
2. unlock the gearmotor as indicated in the “Manually unlocking
and locking the gearmotor” paragraph (page 11)
3. make sure that the gate can be moved manually during both the
opening and closing phases with a force not exceeding 225N
(roughly 23 kg)
4. lock the gearmotor
5. using the control devices (selector, radio transmitter, etc.), test the
door opening, closing and stoppage phases, ensuring that the
movement matches the specications. Run several tests to check
that the door moves smoothly and check for any defects in the
assembly or adjustment and any possible points of friction
6. To check the operation of the photocells and ensure that there is
no interference with other devices, pass a cylinder (5 cm diameter,
30 cm length) on the optical axis, rst near the “TX” photocell then
near “RX” photocell and, lastly, at the mid-point between the two
and verify that in all these cases the device is triggered, switching
from the active to the alarm status and vice-versa; make sure that
it triggers the intended action in the control unit; for example, that
it triggers the reversal of movement during the closing manoeuvre.
7. verify the correct operation of all the safety devices present, one
by one (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.). If a device intervenes,
the “BlueBus” LED device on the control unit will emit two quick
ashes to conrm the recognition
8. if potentially dangerous situations due to the movement of the
leaves have been prevented by limiting the impact force, the latter
must be measured according to the EN 12453 standard and, if
the “motor force” control is used to aid the system in reducing the
impact force, it is necessary to test various adjustments to nd the
one that gives the best results.
6.2 COMMISSIONING
a
Commissioning can only be performed after all testing
phases have been successfully completed.
a
Before commissioning the automation, ensure that the
owner is properly informed of all residual risks and haz-
ards.
a
The gate cannot be commissioned partially or under
“temporary” conditions.
To commission the automation:
1. compile the automation’s technical le, which must include the fol
-
lowing documents: overall drawing of the automation, wiring dia-
gram, risk assessment and relative solutions adopted, the man-
ufacturer’s declaration of conformity for all devices used and the
declaration of conformity compiled by the installer
2. permanently afx a label or plate in the vicinity of the door, indicating
the operations for the door unlocking and manual manoeuvres
3. permanently afx a label or sign to the door with the following image
(minimum height 60 mm) "Figure 39"
39
4. afx a label to the door containing at least the following data: type
of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person respon
-
sible for commissioning), serial number, year of manufacture and
the CE mark
5. compile the declaration of conformity of the automation and hand it
to the owner of the automation
6. compile the User Manual of the automation and hand it to the own
-
er of the automation
7. compile and provide the owner with the automation’s “Maintenance
schedule”, containing the maintenance instructions for all the auto
-
mation’s devices.
