1.2 RELATED SECTIONS
NOTE ** Delete sections below not relevant to this project; add others as required.
A. Section 03300 - Concrete: Floor recess for carpet.
B. Section 04200 - Unit Masonry.
NOTE ** Verify that doors will be butt hung; A or B labeled for double egress doors, B labeled for simultaneous pairs (doors swinging in same direction). Head frame and side jamb widths must be 5-3/4 inches (146 mm) minimum, 12-3/4 inches (324 mm) maximum. Verify that operator door arms allow fire doors to swing to full corridor width without the need to pocket arms in side walls.
C. Section _____ - ____________: Doors and frames.
NOTE ** Verify that two sets of UL-listed panic exit hardware (Von Duprin, Russwin, or Corbin) are specified for each opening to receive fire door operators.
D. Section 08710 - Door Hardware.

1.4 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. Operation: Electric power open, spring close.
1. Normal: Operators instantly recycle to full-open position from any point in closing cycle; motor stops when door is in open position.
2. Power Failure: Doors operate manually as though equipped with manual door closers, without damage to automatic door components.
3. Entrapment Protection (Forces and Speeds of Power Opening, Manual Opening, and Spring Closing): Conform to requirements of ANSI A156.10 (BHMA 1601).
B. Gear Box Operator: Allowing easy access to adjustable back check and latching.
C. Operating Sequence:
1. Automatic Operation: Latching device electrically held in retracted position; panic exit hardware held in unlatched position; doors function normally in automatic mode.
2. Operation During Fire or Power Failure: Signals generated by either power failure or heat and smoke detectors extend latching device on to panic device latch trigger, tripping panic exit hardware into latched position at top and bottom; operator de-energized; springs close doors. Doors open manually by pushing panic device crossbar, close, and latch automatically by virtue of panic exit hardware.
3. Resetting Automatic Operation when Power is Restored: Pressing system reset button on control panel returns latching device to retracted position and reinstates power to automatic door operator; panic exit device is reset to automatic mode by pushing panic device crossbar on each door.
1.5 SUBMITTALS
A. Submit under provisions of Section 01300.
B. Product Data: Manufacturer's catalog data, detail sheets, and specifications.
C. Shop Drawings: Prepared specifically for this project; show dimensions of operators and interface with other products.
D. Operating and Maintenance Data: Operating and maintenance instructions, parts lists, and wiring diagrams.
1.6 QUALITY ASSURANCE
A. Installer Qualifications: Factory-trained, with minimum 3 years experience.
