Automatic energy limitation
Description of function
The SIDOOR ATE500E controller has a system that automatically limits the kinetic energy in
the closing direction.
After a learn run, the set parameters for the closing speed and the nudging speed are limited
as a function of the learnt door weight according to the speed limit curves (see below).
The maximum physical energy limit of the controller is 75 joules.
The maximum (opening) speed is limited as a function of the door weight.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to moving mechanical parts
Irrespective of the maximum closing speed determined automatically during the learn run,
after a learn run, the kinetic energy of the door in the closing direction must be checked by
the commissioning engineer.
•
According to EN 81, the kinetic energy of the door in the closing direction must not
exceed 10 joules while the reversing device is enabled.
•
Without enabled reversing device, the kinetic energy of the door in the closing direction
must not exceed 4 joules according to EN 81 and each closing operation must be
signaled acoustically. An acoustic signal is not part of the SIDOOR system and must be
provided and ensured by the operator.
The set maximum closing speed and the nudging speed must be reduced accordingly.
Check the final application-specific limit values and adjust the limit values accordingly.
