DSD (Drop Stop Device) Function
WARNING
The Drop Stop Device (DSD) must be adjusted when making motor operator connections. Failure to adjust properly may result in serious injury
or death. The door installer must be present with the Drop Stop Device (DSD) Installation Manual in possession when the door is first operated
electrically. Carefully perform all tests set forth below and make any adjustments..
Drop Stop Device (DSD) Function
The function of the Drop Stop Device (DSD) is to minimize the risk of the door closing without control of the motor. The correct spring tension of the pawl of
the Drop Stop Device (DSD) is critical to the functionality of the Drop Stop Device (DSD) and is adjustable. The spring tension must be adjusted tight enough
such that normal operation of the door (with or without a motor operator) will not engage the pawl into the stator ring, yet loose enough so that rapid
rotation
will
engage the pawl.
