ANSI/BHMA and UL Compliance Requirements for Sliding Doors
(Sheet 1 of 3)
Final adjustment and proper operation of the door system must be and shall be performed in the field.
NOTE
: These instructions are for informational purposes and do not substitute for review against the current
revision of the referenced standards. Where a requirement exists in multiple standards, such as the ANSI/BHMA
standard and the UL standard, the more restrictive condition applies. Other local codes and fire codes likely exist,
and must also be followed.
ANSI/BHMA A156.10 Sliding Door Systems
Sliding door systems must be installed and adjusted for compliance with the current version of ANSI/BHMA
A156.10, “American National Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors”.
Critical aspects of the installation for compliance with ANSI/BHMA A156.10 include:
• Control mat size, layout, molding height, active areas and sensitivity.
• Sensor pattern size, sensitivity, and function.
• Knowing Act guidelines and secondary activating zone.
• Entrapment protection rules including door speeds, forces, and time delays.
• Signage. (Decals and application instructions are provided with the door system.)
NOTE
: For Procare and Duracare series Automatic series refer to the current version of ANSI/BHMA A156.38.
UL 325 Compliance
All power operated door systems must be installed in compliance with the current edition of UL 325, “Standard for
Safety for Door, Drapery, Gate, Louver, and Window Operators and Systems”.
Wiring
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock proper and reliable grounding is mandatory. See
Main Power Wiring
instruc-
tions and
Wiring Diagrams
in this guide for grounding techniques.
2. Permanent wiring is to be employed as required by the National Electrical Code and/or local codes.
3. Connection of external devices is shown in the wiring diagrams and terminal block layouts elsewhere in this
guide. Refer to these figures for proper wiring of external devices to ensure compliance with UL 325.
Knowing Act
Doors activated by a manual switch (Knowing Act switch in ANSI/BHMA terms) must have the switch installed
in a location from which operation of the door can be observed by the person operating the switch and not
located in a positon where the user would be in the path of the moving door.
