TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

6 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 12453 standard, which
defines the test methods for checking door auto-
mations.
The additional devices must undergo specific 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 2) have been strictly observed
2. unlock the gearmotor as indicated in the "Manually un-
locking and locking the gearmotor" paragraph (page 9)
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, en-
suring that the movement matches the specifications. 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, first 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 re-
versal of movement during the closing manoeuvre.
7. check, one-by-one, that all safety devices mounted on the
system (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.) work properly.
Each time a device intervenes, the "OK" LED on the control
unit will emit two faster flashes to confirm 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 12445
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 find the one that gives the best re-
sults.

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 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 include
the following documents: overall drawing of the automa-
tion, wiring diagram, risk assessment and relative solutions
adopted, the manufacturer's declaration of conformity for all
devices used and the declaration of conformity compiled by
the installer
2. permanently affix a label or plate in the vicinity of the door,
indicating the operations for the door unlocking and manual
manoeuvres
3. affix a label to the door containing at least the following data:
type of automation, name and address of manufacturer (per-
son responsible for commissioning), serial number, year of
manufacture and the 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 "Main-
tenance schedule", containing the maintenance instructions
for all the automation's devices.
