5 - TESTING AND COMMISSIONING THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
The system must be tested by a qualified technician, who must
perform the tests required by the relevant standards in relation
to the risks present, to check that the installation complies with
5.1 - Testing
All system components must be tested following the procedures
described in their respective operator's manuals
ensure that the recommendations in Chapter 1 - Safety Warnings -
have been complied with
check that the gate or door is able to move freely once the
automation system has been released and is well balanced,
meaning that it will remain stationary when released in any position;
5.2 - Commissioning
Once all (and not just some) of the system devices have passed the
testing procedure, the system can be commissioned;
the system's technical dossier must be produced and kept for 10
years. It must contain the electrical wiring diagram, a drawing or
photograph of the system, the analysis of the risks and the solutions
adopted to deal with them, the manufacturer's declaration of con-
formity for all connected devices, the operator's manual for every
device and the system maintenance plan:
fix a dataplate with the details of the automation, the name of
the person who commissioned it, the serial number and year of
construction and the CE marking on the gate or door:
also fit a plate specifying the procedure for releasing the system by
hand:
the relevant regulatory requirements, especially the EN12453
standard which specifies the test methods for gate and door
automation systems.
check that all connected devices (photocells, sensitive edges, emer-
gency buttons, etc.) are operating correctly by performing gate or
door opening, closing and stop tests using the connected control
devices (transmitters, buttons or switches);
perform the impact measurements as required by the EN12453
standard, adjusting the control unit's speed, motor force and
deceleration functions if the measurements do not give the required
results, until the correct setting is obtained.
draw up the declaration of conformity, the instructions and
precautions for use for the end user and the system maintenance
plan and consign them to the end user;
ensure that the user has fully understood how to operate the system
in automatic, manual and emergency modes;
the end user must also be informed in writing about any risks and
hazards still present;
WARNING!
After detecting an obstacle, the gate or door stops du-
ring its opening travel and automatic closure is disabled; to
restart operation, the user must press the control button or use
the transmitter.
