General Remarks
According to the legal provision in force, the operating entity of the automatic door is responsible for its maintenance and for the user's safety, as soon as the installation has been handed over.
The regular inspection of single elements by the operator requires little time investment and reinforces the prevention of accidents caused by an inappropriate use of the door.
Testing
As part of testing, visual and functional tests are conducted, ranging in particular over:
- Door leaves, guides, and bearings
- Limiting devices and sensors
- Safety at danger points due to crushing, shearing, or drawing-in
In addition, with door systems installed on escape routes, all the safety devices of the escape route function are controlled.
To provide the operator with documentation and information, the test result must be recorded on a check list and kept in the logbook by the operator for at least one year.
Maintenance
During maintenance, bearings, sliding points, and power transmission are cleaned and adjusted. Relevant fixing screws are controlled and retightened if necessary.
Functional testing is carried out for:
- Switching devices and drives
- Control units and command controllers
- Force or energy storing devices
The safety devices are adjusted and all motion sequences, including final points, are set. A test run with final overall control of the door system is executed.
The state of the door installation is recorded on a check list and must be kept in the logbook by the operator for at least one year until the next test / maintenance.
Monthly Inspection Work (By Operating Company)
The monthly inspection and maintenance of individual elements by the operating company requires little time and serves the reliable function, increased service life, and operational safety of the system.
