CAUTION!– When making this connection, the electrical mains power line must be equipped with short-circuit protection device (between the automa-
tion and the mains).
The electrical mains line must also be equipped with a power disconnect device (with overvoltage category III, i.e. minimum gap between contacts of 3
mm) or an equivalent system such as socket with removable plug.
This device, when necessary, guarantees fast and safe disconnection of the power supply and therefore must be placed in a location visible from the
automation. If the power disconnect device is not in the vicinity of the automation and not visible from the latter, it must be fitted with a lockout facility
to prevent inadvertent or unauthorised connection.
Note – The disconnect devices are not supplied with the product.
These are the most important phases of automation set-up to ensure maximum system safety. The testing procedure described can also be performed
as a periodic check of automation devices.
Testing and commissioning of the automation must be performed by skilled and qualified personnel, who are responsible for the tests required to veri-
fy the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and for ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards and regulations, and in particular
all requirements of the standard EN 12445, which establishes the test methods for checking automations for garage doors.
AUTOMATION TESTING
1 Ensure that all specifications in STEP 1 regarding safety have been
strictly observed.
2 Using the transmitter, perform door opening and closing tests and
ensure that the movement corresponds to specifications.
Test several times to assess smooth operation of the door and check
for any defects in assembly or adjustment and any possible points of
friction.
3 Check operation of all system safety devices one at a time (photocells,
sensitive edges, etc.), Photocells: Activate the device during an Open-
ing or Closing manoeuvre and check that the control unit stops the
manoeuvre and activates a total inversion of the movement (the cour-
tesy light emits 2 flashes, twice). Sensitive edges: Activate the device
during an Opening or Closing manoeuvre and check that the control
unit stops the manoeuvre and activates a short inversion of the move-
ment (the courtesy light emits 4 flashes, twice).
4 To check the photocells, and to ensure there is no interference with oth-
er devices, pass a cylinder (diameter 5 cm, length 30 cm) through the
optic axis joining the pair of photocells (fig. 45): pass the cylinder first
close to the TX photocell, then close to the RX and lastly at the centre
between the two. Ensure that in all cases the device engages, changing
from the active status to alarm status and vice versa, and that the
envisaged action is generated in the control unit (for example move-
ment inversion in the Closing manoeuvre).

CAUTION! – All operations in this section must be performed exclusively by skilled and qualified
personnel, in observance of the instructions in the manual, and current local legislation and safe-
ty standards in the place of installation.

CONNECTING THE AUTOMATION TO THE ELECTRICAL MAINS

AUTOMATION TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

5 Measure the force as specified in the standard EN 12445. If the motor
force control is used as an auxiliary function for reduction of impact
force, test and identify the setting that obtains the best results.
6 Activate a closing manoeuvre and check impact force of the door
against the mechanical stop. If necessary, test by discharging pressure
to obtain the best results.
