- 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.
