BFT / BFT Stoppy B
« Last post by andylock on July 28, 2022, 01:20:32 pm »
I came across the complete list of instruction manuals for BFT which seems a bit easier to navigate than the BFT page. It includes the MiximaUltra automatic barriers and the Giotto  BT https://www.windlesham-electric-gates.co.uk/bft-instruction-manuals - hope someone finds it useful.

Safety Edges / CAT 2 & CAT 3 Safety Edges
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 03, 2017, 03:17:46 pm »
There are several sources of information in the Industry at the moment reagarding gate safety. The most relevant and official document currently available is from the Powered Gate Group of the DHF (Door Hardware Federation). link here http://www.dhfpoweredgategroup.co.uk

This document was produced by members of the group and was commented upon by the HSE (Health & Safety Executive) who approved the advice given within. Within this guide it is pointed out that almost all gates (except those exceptional circimstances where no untrained user can get anywhere near the gate) would need to be assessed for risk and protected with force limitation (and or) pressure sensitive equipment (safety edges). In fact HSE's own documentation points out that it does not consider inherrent force limitation in drives alone to be sufficient to protect a gate. link here http://www.hse.gov.uk/safetybulletins/electricgates.htm

CAT2 & CAT3 are also explained in more detail in the DHF guide, however to quickly summarise CAT2 can only be used if "TESTED" by the control panel of the gate control board. This "TEST" requires a special output from the automation panel to complete before each movement of the gate. For scenarios where the control panel does not have this test feature CAT3 must be used.

Faac / Barrier Staying upright 680H
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 03, 2017, 03:01:58 pm »
After completing a service, I removed the plastic circuit board cover, to find the barrier went to the upright position, and kept the number 4 displayed on the LCD screen.

Moving the wiring loom into the main terminal block, caused the screen and power to flicker on/off.

Fault - broken wire going into the common, but still making a slight connection.

Tip - Always give the wiring a light wriggle, see if that causing any change!

Call out Checksheets / Automated Gate Electrical Faults & Diagnostics
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 03, 2017, 02:25:37 pm »
Automated Gate Electrical Faults & Diagnostics, Basic checks to confirm faults.

- Blank screen on Panel but power to other devices in the control panel
Door switch circuit not making Press door switch in and check Panel screen
Panel has developed an electrical fault or had a power spike or blown on board fuses
Change fuses or panel MAKE SURE that the panel is run through a MCB 14 amp breaker

- Gate does not run (stays open)
Check panel is showing no  codes Power down then back up press and hold “stop” key to reset
Loop detector is faulting or sensing presence Clear obstacle or reset the detector
Check panel settings have not been altered
gate staying up in raise position Access control giving a constant pulse shorten this
Photo cell batteries (if fitted) Check that the fitted batteries still have power to them. They should only be replaced with special 3.6V Lithium-ion batteries made for purpose. These can be provided by your supplier
Photo cells dirty (if fitted) Clean photo cells make sure they are debris free

- Gate staying open and not closing
If photo-cells fitted then batteries may have expired
Check and if needed replace batteries
Faulty loop detector Check & set or replace faulty unit
gate does not have loops fitted or these have been removed
Call the technical department for assistance the program/wiring needs to change
Key switch left in open position Put the switch back into the “Auto” position
Permanent supply/signal to the raise terminals Check wiring to terminal blocks remove any access control try again
gate programmed for safety only or gate is on a timer

Call out Checksheets / Gate Mechancial Errors & Faults
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 03, 2017, 02:20:20 pm »
basic Mechanical Automated Gate faults and General Mechanical Issues to check when diagnosing faults;

Gate not Moving  Motor brake locked on Check brake is releasing

Gate creaking when moving Gate alignment Check and align gate correctly

Gate motor not running Loss of voltage Check motor supply test 3 phases

Gate not moving or closing Drive shaft connections Re-connect any drive shaft connections

Gate not moving or moving half way Gearbox or gate track damaged Gears/Track stripped due to overlading replace

Gate crashes into catch post Cantilever arm not adjusted correctly Adjust and check alignment

Gate not running at all Door has been left open or switch not making Close the door and check display is not reading e.211

Gate open and will not close Key switch is left in open position Turn key switch to auto if fitted

Loop fault or loop detecting Check if green light is on detector if so remove object that it is detecting or replace loop
