• Heating: tests whether the motor, winding, and enclosure remain within safe temperature limits during normal operation.
• Leakage current and electrical strength: tests the insulation by measuring leakage current and electrical strength at operating temperature and after a humidity test.
• Moisture resistance: tests whether the drive is safe when exposed to the humidity and condensation found in a garage.
• Abnormal operation: tests whether the drive is safe under abnormal conditions, such as rotor locking, motor overloading, or door jamming, and whether the protection systems function properly.
• Force limitation and obstruction detection (auto-reverse): tests whether the door automatically reverses when it detects an obstruction in front of it, protecting people, children, and animals.
• Manual release: tests whether the door can be disengaged from the drive and operated manually, for example, in the event of a power failure.
• End-of-travel stopping: tests whether the drive stops automatically when the door reaches the end of its travel.
