9. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
This is the most important phase of automation set-up to ensure maximum system safety. The test can also be performed as a periodic check
of automation devices.
Testing of the entire system must be performed by skilled and qualified personnel, who are responsible for the tests required
to verify the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and for ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards
and regulations, with particular reference to all requirements of the standard EN12445 which establishes the test methods for
testing automations for power-operated gates.
9.1_
Testing
Each automation component, such as sensitive edges, photocells, emergency stop, etc., requires a specific testing phase; for these devices take
care to follow the procedures specified in the respective instruction manual.
To test T-ONE, perform the following sequence of operations:
Ensure that all specifications in this manual, and in particular chapter "1 WARNINGS" have been strictly observed;
2. Using the control or stop devices envisaged (key-operated selector switch, control pushbuttons, radio transmitters, etc.) perform gate open-
ing and closing tests, ensuring that the leaf movement corresponds to specifications.
3. Check operation of all system safety devices one at a time (photocells, sensitive edges, emergency stop etc.);
4. To test photocells and in particular that there is no interference with other devices, pass a cylinder (diameter 5 cm, length 30 cm) through
the optic axis joining the pair of photocells, first close to the TX and then the RX and then mid-way between the two. Ensure that in all cases
the device engages, changing from the active status to alarm status and vice versa. Also check that the envisaged action is generated in the
control unit, for example: that during the Closing manoeuvre, the door inverts the current movement.
5. If hazardous situations generated by the moving leafs are protected by means of impact force limitation, measure the force as specified in
the standard EN 12445. If the settings "speed" and "gearmotor force" control are used as an auxiliary function with the system for reduction
of impact force, test and identify the setting that obtains the best results.

Commissioning
Commissioning can only be performed after positive results of all test phases on T-ONE and other devices present. Partial or
"makeshift" commissioning is strictly prohibited.
•
Prepare the automation technical documentation (to be conserved for at least 10 years), which must contain the following documents: an
overall layout diagram of the automation, electrical wiring diagram, risk assessment and relative solutions adopted, manufacturer's declara-
tion of conformity for all devices used (for T-ONE use the CE declaration of conformity enclosed) copy of instruction manual for operation and
the automation maintenance schedule.
•
Affix a dataplate on the gate, specifying at least the following data: type of automation, name and address of manufacturer (responsible for
commissioning), serial number, year of construction and CE mark.
•
Permanently fix a label or plate in the vicinity of the gate, stating the procedures for release and manual manoeuvres.
•
Compile the automation declaration of conformity and deliver to the owner.
•
Compile the manual "Instructions and warnings for automation operation" and deliver to the owner.
•
Prepare the automation maintenance schedule (including all instructions for the maintenance of individual devices) and deliver to the owner.
•
Before commissioning the automation, ensure that the owner is adequately informed in writing of all associated risks and hazards (for exam-
ple of the manual of instructions and warnings for automation operation).
10. OPERATION
The gearmotors in the series T-ONE have been designed to move horizontal sliding gates with leafs of a maximum weight of 400 kg (T-ONE3B), 500 kg
(T-ONE5), 600 Kg (T-ONE5B), 800 kg (T-ONE8BR and T-ONE8), 1000Kg (T-ONE10B) and 1200 Kg (T-ONEXL).
Use of the device for other purposes or in other circumstances than as specified is strictly prohibited.
The electronic control unit installed enables selection of the operating mode:
automatic: a control pulse activates gate opening and closing;
semiautomatic: a control pulse activates gate opening or closing;
In the event of a power failure, the gate can still operate thanks to the option of manual control, possible by means of the manual release device.
The models T-ONE3B, T-ONE5B, T-ONE8BR and T-ONE10B, with the optionals batteries power supply guarantee normal automation operation also
in the event of a power failure.
Note that this is an automatic device and mains powered, and therefore when used the due precautions must be taken. The following in particular
is recommended:
•
Never touch the device with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
•
Disconnect the power supply before opening the controls box and/or gearmotor;
•
Never touch the motor before ensuring it is completely cool;
•
Only move the gate when it is completely visible;
•
Perform periodic maintenance;
•
In the event of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only move the gate manually when possible and in safety. Do not intervene on the
gate; call an authorised technician for assistance.
CLEANING OF THE AUTOMATION WITH WATER JETS OR SIMILAR DEVICES IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. NEVER DIRECT WATER JETS
DIRECTLY ONTO THE AUTOMATION.
11.
MAINTENANCE
The gearmotors in the T-ONE series are low maintenance products. However efficient operation also depends on the condition of the gate:
Therefore a number of simple operations are described below to maintain gate efficiency.
Caution: No person other than the maintenance engineer (who must be a specialised technician) must be allowed to operate
the automatic gate during maintenance.
Therefore disconnect the device from the power mains to avoid the risk of electric shock. However, if the power supply is required for a number
of checks, ensure that the control devices are controlled or disabled (remote controls, pushbutton panels etc.) with the exception of the device
used by the maintenance engineer.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be performed when deemed necessary and in any event every 6 months in the case of domestic use (ap-
