8.2 Automatic door
You often find automatic door control systems at the en-
trance to supermarkets, public buildings, banks, hospitals
etc.
8.2.1
Requirements of an automatic door
•
When a person approaches the door, it must open auto-
matically.
•
The door must remain open until the doorway is cleared.
•
When the doorway is cleared, the door must close auto-
matically with a short delay.
The door is usually driven by a motor that is equipped with a
slip coupling. This prevents people from being squeezed in
and injured. The control system is connected to the mains
via a master switch.
