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.
