5.1) Testing
Each component of the system, e.g. safety edges, photocells, emer-
gency stop, etc. requires a specific testing phase. We therefore rec-
ommend observing the procedures shown in the relative instruction
manuals.
To test ROBUS 350 proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in particular in
chapter 1 "Warnings" have been observed in full;
2. Using the control or stop devices (key-operated selector switch,
control keys or radio transmitter) test the opening, closing and
stopping of the gate and make sure that the leaves move in the
intended direction.
3. Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one
(photocells, sensitive edges, emergency stop, etc.). In particular,
each time a device is activated the "BLUBUS" LED on the control
unit flashes 2 times quickly, confirming that the control unit rec-
ognizes the event.
5.2) Commissioning
Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases of the
ROBUS350 and the other devices have been terminated success-
fully. It is not permissible to execute partial commissioning or to
enable use of the system in makeshift conditions.
1. Prepare and store for at least 10 years the technical documenta-
tion for the automation, which must include at least: assembly
drawing of the automation, wiring diagram, analysis of hazards
and solutions adopted, manufacturer's declaration of conformity
of all the devices installed (for ROBUS350 use the annexed CE
declaration of conformity); copy of the instruction manual and
maintenance schedule of the automation.
2. Post a label on the gate providing at least the following data: type
of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person
responsible for the "commissioning"), serial number, year of man-
ufacture and "CE" marking.
6) Maintenance and Disposal
This charter provides information about how to draw up a maintenance schedule, and the disposal of ROBUS350
6.1) Maintenance
The automation must be subjected to maintenance work on a regular
basis, in order to guarantee it lasts.
!
The maintenance operations must be performed in strict
compliance with the safety directions provided in this manual
and according to the applicable legislation and standards.
If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the corre-
sponding maintenance schedule.
1. ROBUS350 requires scheduled maintenance work every 6 months
or 10,000 manoeuvres (max.) after previous maintenance:
6.2) Disposal
ROBUS is constructed of various types of materials, some of which
can be recycled: steel, aluminium, plastic, electric cables; while oth-
ers must be disposed of (batteries and electronic boards).
!
some electronic components and the batteries may
contain polluting substances; do not pollute the environ-
ment. Enquire about the recycling or disposal systems
available in compliance regulations locally in force.
4. To check the photocells and make sure that there is no interfer-
ence with other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylin-
der on the optical axis, first near TX, then near RX and finally at
the mid-point between them and make sure that in all these cas-
es the device is triggered, switching from the active to the alarm
status and vice-versa; finally, that it causes the intended action in
the control unit, for example that it causes the reversal of the
movement during the closing manoeuvre.
5. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf
have been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the user
must measure the impact force according to EN Standard 12445.
If the adjustment of the "speed" and control of the "motor force"
are used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact
force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.
3. Post a permanent label or sign near the gate detailing the opera-
tions for the release and manual manoeuvre.
4. Prepare the declaration of conformity of the automation system
and deliver it to the owner.
5. Prepare the "Installation instructions and warnings" of the
automation system and deliver it to the owner.
6. Prepare the maintenance schedule of the automation system and
deliver it to the owner; it must provide all directions regarding the
maintenance of the single automation devices.
7. Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner in
writing regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing (e.g.
in the "Installation instructions and warnings").
2. Disconnect the power supply (and buffer batteries, if featured)
3. Check for any deterioration of the components which form the auto-
mation, paying particular attention to erosion or oxidation of the struc-
tural parts. Replace any parts which are below the required standard.
4. Check the wear and tear on the moving parts: pinion, rack and the
leaf components; if necessary replace them.
5. Connect the electric power sources up again, and carry out the
testing and checks provided for in Paragraph "5.1 Testing".
1. Disconnect the power supply of the automation system (and the
buffer battery, if featured).
2. Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse
order the procedures described in chapter 3 "Installation".
3. Wherever possible, separate any parts which can or must be
recycled or disposed of in different ways, e.g. metal parts must
be disposed of separately from plastic ones, as must the elec-
tronic cards, batteries etc.
4. Sort the various materials and consign them to local licensed
firms for recovery and disposal.
