To Our Customers


The purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with your automatic door system. It is
essential that you "know your system" and that you recognize the importance of maintaining
your door system in compliance with the industry standards for safety.

It is your responsibility, as owner or caretaker of the equipment, to inspect the operation
of your door system on a daily basis to insure that it is safe for use by your invitees,
customers, or employees.

This manual will provide you with a description of the operation and maintenance
requirements of your door. It also provides the instructions for the Daily Safety Check.

Should the door fail to operate as prescribed in the Daily Safety Check, or at any other
time for any other reason, do not attempt to repair or adjust the door. Call a qualified
service technician. These technicians are trained to service your door in accordance with
applicable industry safety standards.

Service Availability


Automatic door products are distributed through a nationwide network of authorized
automatic door suppliers for sales, installation, and service.

Should you need service on your door system, consult the yellow pages of your telephone
directory under "Door-Opening Devices" for your manufacturer's local authorized automatic
door supplier or call the manufacturer for a local automatic door supplier.

Compliance with Safety Standards


Your door system was designed to the latest operating and safety standards. In order to
ensure the continued safe operation of your door, it is important that:

- Your door system be maintained in compliance with the standards of the industry.

- Proper decals and labels be applied and maintained on your doors. If decals are
removed or cannot be read, request labels to be replaced when calling for service.

- Safety devices for all doors should be checked by an AAADM certified inspector at
least annually.

AAADM, the American Association of Automatic Door Manufacturers, has established a
program to certify automatic door inspectors. Through this program, the inspectors are
trained to check your door systems for compliance with the appropriate version of the
American National Standards Institute standard ANSI A156.10.

Daily Safety Check


Perform these safety checks daily on each automatic swinging door to insure your customers'
safety and your own protection. Perform these tests while traffic is restricted from all detection
and sensing zones.

Sensor Activation / Presence Detection Safety

1. Check electronic sensor by walking toward the door opening at a
moderate speed. The door should start opening when you are about
four feet from the door, should swing open smoothly and stop without
impact. Move slowly through the door (6 in. per second). The door
should remain open.

2. Step out of the sensor zone. After a brief time delay (at least 1 1/2
seconds) the door should close to 10° from fully closed, then
noticeably slow down and take at least 1 1/2 seconds for the final
10° closing.

3. Approach the safety side of the door first, then have someone else
approach the activating side of the door, as long as you are in the
safety area of the door it should not open. (See Figure 1
)

4. Crouch motionless in the door opening for at least 4 seconds. The
door should not close.


Caution: If safety sensor is not working, door may
swing toward you without stopping.

Floor Mat Activation/Floor Mat Safety

1. Step on the "opening" (activating) mat.

2. It is necessary to have a safety mat covering the entire area the door
swings over. Step through the doorway onto the safety mat and
remain motionless for 4 seconds. The door should remain open.
Repeat at several locations on the mat. (See Figure 2 or 3
)


3. Step off the safety mat. After a brief time delay (at least 1 1/2
seconds) the door should close to 10° from fully closed, then slow
down. The last 10° of closing should be noticeably slower (at least 1
1/2 seconds).

4. With the door closed, step on the safety mat. Have someone step on
the opening mat. Door should remain closed as long as someone
remains on the safety mat.

Caution: If safety mat is not working, door may swing
toward you without stopping.
