The locking of an emergency exit door is not permitted according to the standard, which
would also render the function of an emergency exit door invalid.
The BDE-D operating unit can be effectively protected against unauthorized adjustment of the operat-
ing mode via an external operating lock.

Selection of operating modes (BDE-M)
The BDE-M mechanical operating unit is equipped with a key
switch. This key switch can be used to set the various operating
modes. The key switch can be removed in any position.

Operating mode
Function
Automatic mode with total opening
width
This operating mode corresponds to standard operation. Activation
of a triggering device (e.g. RIC 290, RAD 290) opens the door.
After the hold-open time has elapsed, the door closes again.
Continuously open and manual op-
eration
Door opens and remains in the open position. It can then be moved
manually.
One-Way
The door opens only by activating the triggering element located on
the inside of the door or by an optional key swing contact (SSK).
Locking
The door is automatically locked after it has been closed. Only with
the key swing contact (SSK) can an opening be triggered with the
last valid opening width.
Caution:
In the event of
interrupted power
, door opening in the
locked state, without an additional battery or without manual re-
lease, is no longer guaranteed!

Operating mode display
The LED is lightening if mains voltage or battery voltage are available.

Reset-Button
– This hidden button will be actuated with a 25 mm long paper
clip.
– Therefore, there is a little hole in the middle of the logo.
– If the reset-button will be pressed for about 5 seconds, a soft-
ware-reset will happen. The pre-set settings remain unaffected.

Self-test (redundancy test) of operator
5.6.1
When is a self-test carried out?
As standard, the door automatically performs a so-called redundancy test at least once every 24
hours (except in the Locked operating mode). During this self-test, the door performs a slow opening
and closing cycle, which checks safety-relevant functions.
The self-test is done to ensure that all components are working and can perform their service in case
of emergency opening.
The redundancy test is performed after a restart of the controller and when changing from the follow-
ing operating modes:
