N

The drive is installed with a driven part, theforce exerted by the drive being adjusted to itshighest value in accordance with theinstructions. The drive is supplied at the mostunfavourable voltage between 0,94 and 1,06times rated voltage.

N

An obstacle having dimensions ofapproximately 200 mm x 300 mm and a heightof 700 mm is placed on the ground at anyplace in the path of the leading edge of thedriven part and in the most unfavourableorientation.NOTE The obstacle is normally made ofunplaned wood and painted white but othermaterials and colours may be used to simulatethe most unfavourable conditions

N

The drive is operated to close the driven part. Ifthe driven part moves, it shall stop or reverseits movement without contacting the obstacle.

N

The test is repeated with the obstacle beingmoved at a speed of 3 m/s ± 0,6 m/s.
