2.4.1 Safety measures when carrying out maintenance and service work
2.4.2 Operator obligations
In addition to this operating manual, the applicable safety, accident prevention and environmental protection
regulations must be followed by the operator for operation of the door system.
When doing so the operator must adhere to the following:
The system may only be operated by authorised personnel who are familiar with the operation of the
system. The operator must ensure that the system is operated by personnel familiar with the system
who have read and understood the operating manual.
For doors with uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), the manufacturer's documentation must be
heeded (attached to the device)!
The operator must ensure that the system is always visible during operation and that no people and/or
objects are located in the closing area of the door system during operation. If the operator does not
have full view of the system during operation, then the operator must take appropriate operational
safety measures to protect people and objects.
The system operator must ensure that the system is only operated in a technically flawless state. In
the case of possible damage, the operator must immediately have the system inspected by repaired
by Butzbach GmbH Industrietore.
The system operator must ensure that the safety notices affixed to the door system are
permanently visible.
The system operator must ensure that the safety devices are regularly checked by a qualified
professional for functionality (i.e. prior to putting into operation and as needed, but at least once
annually). A test report should be kept for these required tests. This test report should be kept in the
door documentation.
For systems with larger glass surfaces, the system operator must ensure that the glass surfaces
(especially those at eye level) are made visible, e.g. with stickers, in order to avoid people running into
them. The operator must ensure that these markings are always present to a sufficient extent.
2.4.3 Requirements of the operating personnel
The door system may only be operated by personnel who are familiar with the operation of the system.
The following safety notices must be mandatorily followed by operating personnel:
Warning! Block off the work area!
Block off the work area prior to starting assembly, maintenance and service work, in order to prevent
unauthorised access by people and vehicles! Risk of injury!
Adhere to the national regulations (e.g. for Germany, the BG Regulation BGV A 8 / VBG 125, §12
"Obstacles and Hazard Areas" specifies that temporary and obstacles and hazard areas must be
marked with red / white stripes).
