INSPECTION AND COMMISSIONING
Testing of the entire system must be conducted by experienced and qualified
personnel, who must establish what tests are necessary depending on the
risks involved. To test MFAB(...) proceed as follows:
1. close the gate; 2. disconnect the power supply to the control unit; 3. release
the gearmotor from the gate leaf as shown in Chapter "Instructions and Warn-
ings for Users of the Gearmotor". 4. open the gate manually all the way; 5.
make sure the gate opens and closes smoothly without any points of friction;
6. make sure that the gate, when stopped in any position and released, does
not display a tendency to start moving again; 7. make sure that the safety sys-
tems and mechanical stops are in good working order; 8. make sure that the
3 – English
screw connections are properly tightened; 9. clean the inside of the box and
make sure that the drain operates properly; 10. when all the checks have been
completed, re-connect the gearmotor and power the control unit; 11. MFAB(...)
is not equipped with any torque adjustment device, therefore this operation is
performed by the control unit; 12. measure the impact force as provided by the
EN12453 and EN12445 standards.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
MFAB(...) does not require any special maintenance; however, routine checks
conducted every six months at least will ensure the long life of the gearmotor
as well as the correct and safe operation of the system.
Maintenance consists simply in repeating the testing procedure.
