Safety guidelines
The fire resistant door may only be operated by persons who have taken note of the
operating instructions. Under no circumstances may the door be operated by
children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacity. The door may
only be used in the manner described in section 4.1.
The fire resistant door is designed so that the door will always close mechanically
failsafe in the event of a fire or smoke alarm. During mechanical failsafe the door will
not signal persons and/or materials, in accordance with EN 13241 an optical and
acoustic warning signal will be activated. (Exceptions to this rule are possible in
consultation with or after approval by the competent authority, the installation
company or end user must arrange for this approval to be granted).
In exceptional situations, the fire resistant door can be supplied with a non-
mechanical failsafe system, this door should be closed at all times, it can be used as a
passage but should then immediately close again.
When the door is installed in an escape route ensure that the door is suitable for
intended use (escape door). (EN 16034-2) (EN 14351-1 and 2)
In the case of hold-to-open/hold-to-close operation, the control switch must be
positioned so that the operator has a clear view of the opening/closing of the door.
Before operating, check that there is no visible damage to the door, if damage is
found the supplier should be asked to repair the damage, a door with damage should
not be operated.
Before and during operation, check that there are no other persons within an area of
±2 [m] of the door.
Before and during operation, check that there are no obstacles under the door.
During maintenance/inspection of the fire resistant door the installation must be
powered down and ensure that it remains powered down.
Prevent entrapment of persons in the room. If persons are still present, the door
should remain open if there is no means of escape.
When using a mechanical failsafe motor, the door will close immediately upon power
failure unless a backup system is present, it will hold the door open until a fire alarm
is activated or after the critical voltage of the backup system is reached.
We recommend that the installation be grounded, with an ATEX version this is
mandatory.
