10 A SAFE DOOR
The safety of an Automatic door is achieved with careful basic adjustments.
Low speed, higher speeds increase the force applied to any obstruction. The speed should be set so that users
are able to pass through the door unhindered, with the speed set as slow is as reasonable possible. The position
of the input devices are also a factor i.e. where ever possible, they should see users approaching and start to
open allowing the door to open slowly.
The door operator should always be set to the lowest possible force setting, ensuring that the door operates
smoothly, but equally does not have excessive force for the application.
In all cases the door size should be set to the smallest possible setting, S small, M Medium, L Large,
remembering the half steps achievable with the custom setting we effectively have S, S+, M, M+, L, L+. We
should always remember that these force setting also has an effect with the inbuilt safety settings, i.e. the more
force applied, the lower the sensitivity, hence should the door make contact with an obstruction it will apply a
greater force is the door weight is set higher.
We recommend that safety sensors are fi tted to all applications, particularly on the driven side, opening face in
the case of a DA461.
Higher speeds are only achievable when full safety is speci fi ed.
REMEMBER!
With using safety sensors to opening and closings sides and activating self diagnostics, the door environment
will be safe and meets the EN 16005-standards.
