SKYFOLD WALLS IN OPERATION
Standard Operation
1. Ensure that both operators of the Skyfold wall have an unobstructed view of the wall. The
Skyfold wall must be monitored from both sides of the wall for the duration of the wall’s
ascent or descent as this can prevent damage to the Skyfold wall, and/or injury.
2. At both switches, activate and maintain pressure simultaneously on the switches with the
key turned to the desired position. If your Skyfold system is equipped with the optional
touch screens, please refer to the
Touch Screen User Manual issued separately.
3. Release the switches once the desired position is reached or after the wall stops
automatically by its upper or lower limit controls.
OPER ATING A “T ” CONFIGUR ATION APPLICATION
The following procedures apply to situations wherein two Skyfold walls meet in a “T”
Configuration. In a “T” Configuration, one wall stacks above the other in the ceiling pocket.
The wall operating sequence is entirely controlled by the key switch (or touch screen) logic
circuit in the electrical control box.
1. Ensure that both operators of the Skyfold wall have an unobstructed view of the wall. The
Skyfold wall must be monitored from both sides of the wall for the duration of the wall’s
ascent or descent as this can prevent damage to the Skyfold wall and/or injury.
2. When deploying the Skyfold walls in the down position, ensure that the lower Skyfold
wall is in the fully closed position before bringing down the upper Skyfold wall.
3. When retracting the walls, ensure that the upper Skyfold wall is fully retracted into its
ceiling pocket before bringing up the lower Skyfold wall.
4. At both switches, activate and maintain pressure simultaneously on the switches with the
key turned to the desired position. If your Skyfold system is equipped with the optional
touch screens, please refer to the
Touch Screen User Manual issued separately.
5. Release the switches once the desired position is reached or after the wall stops
automatically by its upper or lower limit controls.
OPER ATING MULTIPLE IN-LINE SK YFOLD WALL SECTIONS
Multiple Skyfold wall sections, controlled by a single pair of switches with their own
independent motor units, are used to create a monolithic Skyfold barrier across long
distances or over stepped or sloped floors.
The following is not applicable to the Mirage model: There are mechanical acoustic
seals between each Skyfold wall section, similar to those found at the ends of the Skyfold
wall, which deploy and fill the gap between wall sections. The mechanical seals deploy
automatically once all wall sections reach their lower limits. When raising the Skyfold wall
sections from their completely closed positions, there is a default delay of approximately
eight (8) seconds while all the mechanical seals retract. At the time of installation, the wall
can be programmed to start rising once the end seals have cleared of the fixed walls.
