The use of a Seip door operator with any garage-door that
was approved for the use with other certied door opera-
tors is possible and within legal regulations without any
restrictions!
Directives and Regulations
The operators TS 75 and TS 100 apply to the latest European
directives and regulations. The declaration of conformity is enc-
losed at the end of these instructions.
Use of the operators
The operators were designed for the use with up-and-over doors
(tilting and canopy-type) and sectional doors. They can be used
with side-hinged doors using a special conversion-kit.
Any garage door needs to be mantained before automating it - it
must easily be opened and closed by hand. A garage door must
not be automated when it is not possible to easily use it manual-
ly.
Garage Doors
In January 2001 the European regulations EN12604 and
EN12605 became compulsory for garage doors. Before installing
an automatic door operator it must be assured that the garage
doors applies to these regulations (the information can be obtai-
ned from the manufacturers‘ declaration of conrmity). A Seip
door operator may be installed to any door that complies to the
regulations. Should a garage door not be compliant then please
refer to the chapter „older garage doors“.
The installers declaration of conformity
No matter whether a door operator was delivered together with
a garage door or seperately, the installer must issue a declaration
of conformity for the complete installation.
With this declaration the installer assures, that the installation
was made according to the instructions given by the manufactur-
ers (e.g. the installation instructions of the garage door and the
operator). This declaration can only be issued by the installer and
may not be issued from the manufacturer!
If both components comply to the directives and the installation
was made as to the manufacturers instructions the whole installa-
tion will normally be CE-compliant.
Older Garage Doors
When automating an older garage-door the TS-series will still
comply to the regulations - through the automatic force setting
the requested values for forces and reversion will be according to
the regulations.
But it needs to be taken in consideration that most older garage
doors do not meet the regulations EN 12604 and EN 12605
- especially regarding security features. They might still have
sharp edges bearing the danger of severe injuries - for example
sectional doors might not have a nger protection between the
sections. Automating a garage doors.
Unfortunately the entire regulations do not mention how to
handle the automation of such an older garage door - the danger
basically is not the automation but the construction of the door.
Therefore we strongly recommend to
- check the garage door for sharp edges bearing danger when
the door is moving; take any necessary action to avoid the dan-
gers and make the door safer
- check the doors‘ springs and readjust them if necessary
- grease or oil the pivotal points and rollers of the garage door
- check that the door may be easily used by hand
If, however, the dangers cannot be avoided we recommend to
use the automatic pre-warning function of the operator. The
operators‘ lighting will then be blinking for approx. 5 sec. before
every movement of the garage door. People inside the garage will
be warned before the opening and can step back from the garge
door in time.
