GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

2

Meccanica Fadini has compiled this guide in order to provide the installer and all professional figures working in the sector of automatedcivil and industrial entrance systems with a summary of the essential guidelines for the installation of automatic gates, starting withrisk analysis and resolution in keeping with EN 12455 and EN 12453 safety standards, within Machinery Directive 98/37/EC.All contents of this guide must be strictly adhered to when installing or checking automatic entrances.The manufacturer does not guarantee installations performed using methods and procedures not described in this booklet, and declinesall responsibility for consequent damage to persons, animals and material goods.

GENERAL INFORMATIONAs in most sectors today, the installation and motorization of an automatic gate or entrance is supported and governed by countlessregulations and laws, primarily in terms of safety for both the installer and the end user.For years, the UNI 8612 standard in force until May 2001 was used as a reference by all professional figures working in the automaticgate sector for the correct installation and construction of a power operated gate.Today, UNI 8612 has been replaced by the EN 12445, EN 12453, EN 12604 and EN 12605 standards, etc. These standards indicate theinstaller as the appropriate professional figure for installing the gate and testing the whole system in order to ensure that it complieswith safety standards and is in good working order.According to the current Machinery Directive 98/37/EC, all automated barriers are effectively “machines”, therefore it raises the problemof barrier safety through a typical machine approach.

According to the standards, anyone who sells and installs a power operated gate or entrance becomes the “constructor” and is“responsible” towards the end user of the “machine/automatic gate”. This responsibility entails compiling and conserving (for at leastten years following the installation date) the system’s Technical File, which should include such documentation as a complete poweroperated system design, a list of all the components, the Electrical Diagram (provided in the Installation Guide), the Installation andUser Guide, the Maintenance Record, the Declaration of Conformity and the Risk Analysis: this will be explained in greater detail laterin order to assist the installer in his/her work.

What must an installer do? He/she must firstly assess the suitability of the gate to be automated, install the system following principlesof good practice in order to ensure the system’s correct working order, test the system and then compile the Technical File: carry outthe risk analysis, include a copy of the Declaration of Conformity, draw up the electrical diagram, list all the system components, fill inthe Maintenance Record and apply the CE plaque to the automated entrance.What should be consigned to the end user? At the end of this safety procedure, the end user must be provided with the installed system’sUser Manual, Maintenance Record and Declaration of Conformity; the end user is thus responsible for the correct use of the entireautomated system.

The EN 12445 and EN 12453 safety standards specify methods and components for ensuring the safety of automatic entrances, proposingmethods for the reduction or complete removal of probable risks to people found during the risk analysis, which must be carried outby all installers.However, while these standards are strict and detailed, they leave the installer with the possibility to interpret them in keeping with aprofessionally performed installation, with all the minimum safety accessories required by the Fadini range.

Technical TerminologyRisk Analysis = List of risks in an automatic system (mechanical, electric, electromagnetic, etc.) and finding the most suitable solutionsfor removing the various risk situations.Main Edge = Automatic gate surface that poses a possible risk while the system is in operation.Sensitive Edge = This indicates an electromechanical or electro-pneumatic type device or an electromagnetic plate to be applied tothe Main Edge or in zones that present a risk of entrapment, thereby making it possible to interrupt or invert the gate’s movement.Operator command = This indicates a command in order to make the gate move in a “controlled” fashion (without relay self-holdingfunction), thereby implying the active presence of the operator throughout the gate’s progress until the button or switch key is released.EN 12445 = Safety standard indicating test and classification methods for safety devices.EN 12453 = Safety standard obtained through the risk analysis and successive risk elimination or reduction operation.EN 12635 = Standard regulating installation, maintenance and repair procedures and parameters.EN 12987 = Standard that defines the characteristics of pressure sensitive protective equipment (PSPE) such as plates and sensitiveedges, while photocells, capacitive sensors and electro-sensitive sensors are in the ESPE category.Technical File = Technical documentation encompassing (in compliance with Attachment V of the MD):

- Complete automatic entrance design - Electrical diagram- Risk analysis encompassing the entire installation - Installation Booklet- User Instructions and General Safety Warnings - Compiled Maintenance Record- EC Declaration of Conformity- Compiled CE plaque attached to the automatic gate.

Risk = The overall probability that a dangerous situation may arise.Dangerous Zone = Area in the vicinity of the power operated system that poses a risk to the health and safety of persons or materialgoods.

3

MAIN EDGE PROTECTIONThe main closing or opening edge is simply the gate’s profile that may pose a danger or physical risk to people while in movement. Itmust therefore be made “safe”. The following table summarizes the figures able to control the movement of the gate with respect tothe type of installation.The table should be understood as a minimum level of protection and must be referred to when compiling the Risk Analysis.

1) Expert personnel working in a private area: authorized personnel within a company2) Authorized personnel in an area facing onto a public street3) Any personnel working in an area facing onto a public street

N.B: If an automatic gate’s movement is controlled by the operator command, the presence of photocells or a sensitive edge is sufficientin order to ensure that the system is safe, without the need for measuring the forces in play.

MAINTENANCE:In order to ensure a long working life it is very important to keep all automatic gate components in a good state of maintenance, sincethis makes it possible to prevent, and therefore reduce, any avoidable faults or repairs; saving money and end user disappointment.Therefore, the Directive requires the maintenance and inspection operations to be scheduled by the installation company and the finaluser, in relation to the provisions suggested by this document in the Maintenance Record.

RISK ANALYSIS AND SOLUTIONS ADOPTEDEvery automatic gate must be complete with an analysis of the possible risks to people, therefore a table follows below that shouldbe filled in (after having made a copy of the original) with the main mechanical risks found and relative solutions to be adopted (numberednext to the table) in the most hazardous points listed in Pic. 1.

UNAVOIDABLE RISKSIn the mechanical risk analysis, not all hazards found are avoidable, therefore the EN 12445 and EN 12453 standards make provisionsfor written warnings, both in the Risk Analysis and above all on the hazardous points of the system itself that cannot be protected. Thesesigns should be standard danger signs in black on a yellow background (i.e. protruding handles or doors, or excessive steps or risesin the ground), while for forbidden zones the prohibition and danger signs provided for by the highway code should be used.

Safety Distances in Points of EntrapmentThe EN 12604 and EN 12605 standards specify requirements and test methods for structurally checking the mechanical characteristicsof the installation to be automated. Appendix C of EN 12604 also indicates the required safety distances for the points of entrapment.This standard must always be respected by installers who follow good installation practice, using additional safety devices such asphotocells or presence sensitive edges to delimit the points of entrapment.The principal minimum measures recommended by the EN 12604 standard are illustrated below (distances of less than 8 mm and over25 mm are not considered dangerous).

Note: the test blocks are used to check the correct working order of the photocells and the presence sensory devices. The blocks arein the form of parallelepipeds measuring 700 x 300 x 200 mm and in cylindrical form Ø 50 x 300 mm, which the standard describes ashaving 3 opaque surfaces and 3 shiny reflective surfaces (parallelepiped) and half an opaque surface and half a shiny surface (cylinder).

Protection Devices: PhotocellsTests in order to check that the photocells are working correctly are described as an illustration of ESPE devices, while the sameconsiderations are also valid in order to test the working order of PSPE type accessories.

Measuring the impact and crushing forcesStandards EN 12445 and EN 12543 consider the forces manifested by a gate during movement as a way for learning about risks duringthe Risk Analysis and intervening quickly in order to prevent them.The standards make provisions for the use of an appropriate tool for measuring the impact and crushing force of the main opening andclosing edge, providing detailed descriptions of all this device’s technical characteristics and measurement procedures. Therefore,all measurements should be made three times in each point indicated and for three different gate openings. The measurement of themaximum peak and the progress of the force measured must respect the maximum values given in the following table and in Pic. 22.

FD = Dynamic force of impact, max. value 1˙400 NSF = Crushing force, max. value 150 NDT = Dynamic time, max. value 0.75 sTo = Total time, max. value 5 s
