TESTING TIMES

OPENINGS were delighted to be asked to install automated bi-parting sliding gates by one of our best clients.

The installation required 7 safety edges in order for it to comply with current European and English LAW and for OPENINGS to fully pressure test and issue the appropriate CE certification and EN12453 standard certification.

When closing the leading safety edges are required to react within .75 of a second. The reaction time was 1.15 of a second or .40 of a second too slow and therefore giving a FAIL on the pressure test thus not enabling OPENINGS to issue a compliance certificate.

24 hours of research, retesting, adjusting and worry we archived the required .75 of a second and issued the compliance certificates.

So if you want peace of mind and an installation that complies on Existing or Future automatic gate installations;

USE OPENINGS!
