GEZE Powerdrive Pre-installation Instructions - Safety Notes & Overview

2 Fundamental safety notes

GEZE GmbH is referred to as GEZE below.

2.1 Intended use

The sliding door system is used for the automatic opening and closing of a building passage.

The sliding door system may only be used in a vertical installation position and in dry rooms within the permitted application area.

The sliding door system is designed for pedestrian traffic in buildings.

The sliding door system is not designed for the following uses:

  • For industrial use
  • For areas of application which do not serve pedestrian traffic (such as garage doors)
  • On mobile objects such as ships

The sliding door system may only be used:

  • In the modes of operation provided for by GEZE
  • With the components approved/released by GEZE
  • With the software delivered by GEZE
  • In the installation variants / types of installation documented by GEZE
  • Within the tested/approved area of application (climate / temperature / IP rating)

Any other use is considered non-intended and will lead to the exclusion of all liability and warranty claims to GEZE.

2.2 Safety notes

  • Interventions and modifications which influence the safety technology and functionality of the sliding door system may only be carried out by GEZE.
  • Problem-free and safe operation assumes proper transportation, proper set-up and installation, qualified operation and correct maintenance have taken place.
  • The relevant accident prevention regulations and other generally recognised safety technology or health & safety rules must be kept.
  • Only original accessories, original spare parts and accessories approved by GEZE guarantee problem-free function of the sliding door system.
  • The mandatory installation, maintenance and repair work must be performed by properly trained personnel authorised by GEZE.
  • The country-specific laws and regulations are to be observed during safety technology tests.
  • If unauthorised changes are made to the system, GEZE cannot be held liable in any way whatsoever for any resulting damage, and the statement of approval for use in escape and rescue routes is no longer valid.
  • GEZE does not accept any warranty for combinations with third-party products.
  • Only original GEZE parts may be used for repair and maintenance work.
  • The connection to the mains voltage must be completed by an electrician or specialised electrical technician. Perform the power connection and protective earth connection test in accordance with VDE 0100 Part 600.
  • Use an on-site 10-A overload cut-out as the line-side disconnecting device.
  • Protect the display programme switch against unauthorised access.
  • In compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, a risk analysis must be performed and the door system identified in accordance with CE Marking Directive 93/68/EEC before the door system is commissioned.
  • Observe the latest versions of guidelines, standards and country-specific regulations, in particular:
    • DIN 18650: “Building hardware – Powered automatic doors”
    • VDE 0100, Part 600: “Installation of low-voltage systems”
    • EN 16005: “Power operated pedestrian doorsets – Safety in use – Requirements and test methods”
    • EN 60335-1: “Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety Part 1: General requirements”
    • EN 60335-2-103: “Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety: Special requirements for drives for gates, doors and windows”
  • Do not loosen screw-fitted, electrical ground connections.

The product should be installed or incorporated in such a way that effortless access to the product is guaranteed during any repairs and/or maintenance, and that any removal costs do not stand out of proportion to the value of the product.

2.3 Safety-conscious working

  • Secure workplace against unauthorised entry.
  • Use only the cables specified on the cable plan provided. Cables must be shielded in compliance with the wiring diagram.
  • Secure loose, internal drive cables with cable ties.
  • Before working on the electrical system:
    • Disconnect the drive from the 230 V mains and secure it against being switched back on again. Check isolation from power supply.
    • Disconnect the control unit from the 24 V rechargeable battery.
  • Note that if an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is used, the system will still be supplied with voltage despite the fact that the power supply is disconnected.
  • Always use insulated wire-end ferrules for wire cores.
  • Make sure of sufficient lighting.
  • Risk of injury with opened drive. Hair, clothing, cables, etc. can be drawn in by rotating parts.
  • Risk of injury caused by unsecured crushing, impact, drawing-in or shearing spots.
  • Risk of injury due to sharp edges on the drive and door leaf.
  • Risk of injury during installation through freely moving parts.

2.4 Environmentally conscious working

  • When disposing of the door system, separate the different materials and have them recycled.
  • Do not dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries with household waste.
  • Comply with the statutory regulations when disposing of the door system and the batteries/rechargeable batteries.

2.5 Safety notes related to transportation and storage

  • Do not throw, do not drop.
  • Avoid heavy impacts.
  • Storage temperatures under –30 °C and above +60 °C can result in damage to the device.
  • Protect against humidity.
  • Dry, well ventilated, closed, weather-proof and UV-protected rooms are suitable as storage areas.

2.6 Qualification

Observe country-specific regulations!

Applicable in Germany: Companies that carry out the pre-assembly of sliding door drives for escape routes must be licensed as an expanded manufacturing facility by the testing institution that issued the type approval certificate.
