Gate & Barrier Risk Assessments & Safety / Responsibilities of the installer/manufacturer
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 01, 2017, 10:57:07 am »A new powered gate installation must comply with the Machinery Directive, particularly the safety requirements set out in the Essential Health and Safety Requirements. In most cases, the final responsibility for ensuring this will lie with the installer. This would apply in all of the following situations:
• The installer manufactures the gate and drive unit, including the controller
• The installer manufactures the gate, but uses controllers and drive units from another manufacturer
• The installer buys the gate, controllers and drive units from other manufacturers, and commissions the final assembly
However, when a complete gate is placed on the market, such as a “factory manufactured” gate supplied with all ancillary parts (all drive units, safety devices, and control units), and comprehensive installation and setting instructions, the person placing the product on the market will have the responsibility of complying with the Machinery Directive. The installer still has responsibility under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to ensure the gate has been installed correctly and safely in accordance with those instructions, including any adjusting and setting of the safety devices

Call out Checksheets / Automatic Barrier staying open (Raised) and won't shut
« Last post by MrDiagnostics on May 01, 2017, 10:51:49 am »1) Check Surrounds for any obstructions.
2) Check 240V Mains, Emergency Override and all fuses on control panel.
3) Operate Barrier Manually for any Resistance.
4) Check all Mechanical points to ensure secure.
5) Check all connections on panel
6) Test all Panel Low Voltages outputs for 12/24 Volts
7) Check for any warning LED’s or screen display warnings
Check if any access is working, not stuck on, or is faulty.
9) Test photocell connections, check power supply, voltages, obstructions. Clean photocells and covers.
10) Test ground loop resistance with a mega, check loop detector if any faults lights displayed. Check DIP switches, Reset if possible. Check power supply.
11) Test and ensure if any timers are installed on the barrier given a hold/ stop command.
12) If possible, remove access control and safety connections and using a jump wire test between common and open. If barrier raises, input one of the access/safety features until fault occurs.
