SAFETY
SYSTEM
If your sliding door is equipped with an Overhead Threshold Safety System, check the
following components daily:
Inside
and
Outside
Approach
Activation
Sensors
‐
Both sensors should be in
place and should operate as described in steps 1 and 2 under Electronic Controls. For
“one way” traffic applications, one of the sensors will shut off when the door is fully
closed. The sensor should turn on when the opposite side sensor activates this system.
Overhead
Threshold
Safety
Sensor
– The Overhead Threshold Safety Sensor is
mounted on the aluminum enclosure directly above the door opening. It senses presence
in the threshold zone. This zone covers the full width of the door opening and extends
approximately 10” on either side of the threshold.
To
test
the
system
:
1.
Walk towards the door opening from several angles. The door should start opening
when you are about five feet from the door. The door should slide open smoothly
and stop without impact.
2.
When the door starts to open, the Stan‐Guard sensor will be activated. Walk into the
threshold area and stop. A red indicator light on the Stan‐Guard will turn off when
the control senses you. Stand in the threshold zone for several seconds. The door
should remain open. Continue on through the opening and walk at least five feet
from the door. After a brief delay, the door should close.
3.
Turn and repeat the above zone tests by approaching the door from the opposite
direction.
DOORS
AND
FRAMES
1.
Check the door area for tripping and slipping hazards.
2.
Check all door panels for broken or cracked glass. There should be no bulletin
boards, literature racks, merchandise displays, or other attractions in the door area
where people could be hit by the door.
3.
