regulations. The system, depending on its options and diameter, comply with the requirements of the
Machine Guidelines 2006/42/EG as well as EN 16005 and DIN 18650 (D).
Nevertheless, danger may arise if not used as intended.
IMPORTANT
Installation, commissioning, inspection, maintenance and repair work may only be conducted
by qualified, trained and authorized technicians.
After commissioning or repair work, fill in the check list and give it to the customer for safe
keeping.
We recommend obtaining a service agreement.
1.5 Personal protective equipment
Personal protective equipment is used to protect persons from adverse effects on health. Personnel
must wear personal protective equipment during the various work activities on and with the system.
Personal protective equipment is explained below:

Safety 1
BAL_PROTECT_RC2_RC3_EN_1V0_BLA_121-006454704 9 / 30
Hearing protection is used to protect the hearing from noise. As a rule of
thumb, hearing protection is compulsory from when normal conversa-
tion with other people is no longer possible.
The head protection serves to protect against falling and flying parts
and materials. It also protects the head from bumping into hard objects.
Protective goggles protect the eyes from flying parts, dust, splinters or
splashes.
Protective gloves are designed to protect hands from friction, abrasions,
punctures or serious injury and from burning caused by contacting hot
surfaces.
Safety shoes protect the feet from crushing, falling parts and slipping on
surfaces. The puncture resistance of the shoes ensures, that pointy ob-
jects do not penetrate the foot.
The high-visibility vest is used to make the personnel stand out and
therefore to be seen. With improved visibility and attention, the high-vis-
ibility vest protects personnel in busy work areas from collisions with
vehicles.
Depending on the place of work and the working environment, the protective equipment varies and
must be adapted accordingly. In addition to protective equipment for specific work, the work site may
require other protective equipment ( for example a harness).
In hygiene-protected areas, special or additional requirements of personal protective equipment may
be required. These requirements must be considered when choosing personal protective equipment.
If there is any uncertainty regarding the choice of personal protective equipment, the safety officer
must be consulted at the place of work.
1.6 Spare parts and liability
Reliable and trouble free operation of the door is only guaranteed when using parts that were recom-
mended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer declines any liability for damages resulting from un-
authorized modifications to the door or the use of parts that are not permitted.

5.6 Self-test (redundancy test) of operator
5.6.1 When is a self-test carried out?
As standard, the door automatically performs a so-called redundancy test at least once every 24
hours (except in the Locked operating mode). During this self-test, the door performs a slow opening
and closing cycle, which checks safety-relevant functions.
The self-test is done to ensure that all components are working and can perform their service in case
of emergency opening.
The redundancy test is performed after a restart of the controller and when changing from the follow-
ing operating modes:

– From continuously open - to another operating mode
– From Locked - to another operating mode
– From one-way - to another operating mode
NOTICE
After a faulty self-test, the door opens and remains in the open position. An alarm is triggered and
displayed on the control unit. In this case, the service center must be notified.
5.6.2 Resetting the alarm
An alarm can be activated for the following reasons:
– An error occurring during the self-test or during normal operating
– A hindrance during the opening movement
An alarm can be reset as follows:
– By pressing the E-key on the BDE-D (press key longer than 5 seconds)
– By pressing the emergency stop switch (option)
