TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

These are the most important phases of the automation’s con-

struction,  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  qualified  personnel, 

who are responsible for the tests required to ver-

ify 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 12445 standard, which 

defines the test methods for checking gate automa-

tions.

The additional devices must undergo specific testing, both in 

terms of their functions and their proper interaction with the con-

trol unit. Refer to the instruction manuals of the individual devic-

es.

6.1  TESTING

To run the test:

1. 

verify that all the instructions stated in the “

GENERAL 

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

”  chapter 

have been strictly observed

2. 

unlock the gearmotor as indicated in the “

Manually un-

locking and locking the gearmotor

” paragraph

3. 

make sure that the leaf can be moved manually during 

both the opening and closing phases with a force not ex-

ceeding 390N (roughly 40 kg)

4. 

lock the gearmotor

5. 

using the control devices (transmitter, control button, key 

selector, etc.), test the gate’s opening, closing and stop-

page movements to make sure that the leaves move as 

intended. Several tests should be carried out to assess 

the movement of the leaves and detect any defects in the 

installation and adjustment, besides any points of exces-

sive friction

6. 

check, one-by-one, that all safety devices mounted on the 

system (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.) work properly. 

Each time a device intervenes, the “

Bluebus

” LED on the 

control unit will emit two faster flashes to confirm the rec-

ognition

7. 

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 

12445 standard and, if the “motor force” control is used 

to aid the system in reducing the impact force, it is neces-

sary to test various adjustments to find the one that gives 

the best results.

6.2  COMMISSIONING

a 

Commissioning can only be performed after all test-

ing phases have been successfully completed.

a 

Before commissioning the automation, ensure that 

the owner is properly informed of all residual risks 

and hazards.

a 

The gate cannot be commissioned partially or un-

der “temporary” conditions.

To commission the automation:

1. 

compile  the  automation’s  technical  file,  which  must  in-

clude the following documents: overall drawing of the 

automation, wiring diagram, risk assessment and relative 

solutions adopted, the manufacturer’s declaration of con-

formity for all devices used and the declaration of con-

formity compiled by the installer

2. 

affix a permanent label or sign near the gate specifying 

the operations for unlocking the gate and manoeuvring it 

manually “

3. 

affix a data plate on the gate specifying at least the fol-

lowing data: type of automation, name and address of 

the manufacturer (responsible for commissioning), serial 

number, year of manufacture and CE mark

4. 

compile the declaration of conformity of the automation 

and hand it to the owner of the automation

5. 

compile the User Manual of the automation and hand it to 

the owner of the automation

6. 

compile and provide the owner with the automation’s 

“Maintenance schedule”, containing the maintenance in-

structions for all the automation’s devices.

PROGRAMMING

There are 3 buttons on the control unit:

, 

g

and

manding the control unit during the testing phase and to pro-

gramme the available functions.

The available programmable functions are grouped into 

two 

levels

 and their operating status is signalled by eight LEDs “
