AP functional test - Digital Cylinder AX (Z5)
Carry out a function test:
- After assembly
- After realignment
- After changes to the fastening screw
- After a modification (length modularity)
U section: | No restore force on the cam |
R section: | Restore force section towards U section |
O section: | Top dead point in dead bolt throw (no restore force on the cam) |
- Functional test is carried out in escape direction.
- The dead bolt is retracted.
- With the cylinder engaged, first turn the thumb-turn in the direction of locking as far as the dead bolt throw in the R section.
- Reset torque detectable...
- Release the thumb-turn.
- Cylinder must automatically turn back into the U section.
- Activate an authorised identification medium.
- Cylinder engages.
- Turn the engaged thumb-turn in the locking direction of the lock through the R section into the O section.
- The dead bolt extends.
- No reset torque detectable.
- Move the thumb-turn slightly over the threshold between the 'O' and 'R' section in the same direction of rotation.
- Release the thumb-turn.
- The reset force must continue to turn the cam independently from this point to the U section.
- The dead bolt extends completely.
- If the thumb-turn does not automatically rotate as far as the 'U' section, either the fastening screw has been tightened too firmly or the locking device has been aligned incorrectly. The test is to be repeated after the fault has been eliminated. A fastening screw which has been tightened too firmly acts as a brake on the restoring force mechanism.
- Lock the door and check that the locking device functions correctly by pressing the door fitting or panic bar in the direction of escape.
- The dead bolt must snap back.
- The door must open easily.
- If the dead bolt does not draw back when the handle is turned or the door fitting catches, either the locking cylinder or the locking device is incorrectly aligned or defective. The test is to be repeated after the fault has been eliminated as described above.
