MATERIALS

Aluminum: Alloy and temper recommended by manufacturer as indicated below:

Aluminum Extrusions: Alloy 6063-T5.

AUTOMATIC DOOR OPERATORS

Low energy automatic door operators shall be furnished with all required components for a complete installation. Automatic door operators shall include the following:

Automatic door operator

Operator housing

Connecting hardware

Activation and safety devices

Basis of Design: Record SimpleSwing SS8200 low energy automatic door operator:

Applicable Standard: ANSI/BHMA A156.19.

Operator: Non-handed, electro-mechanical operator, powered by 24 volt, 1/4 hp pulse-modulated motor.

Automatic door operator shall be able to operate and control a door leaf weighing up to 1200 pounds (544.3 kg). Consult factory when door exceeds 350 pounds (158.8 kg).

The pulse-modulated motor cycles on/off quickly during use resulting in an energy efficient motor that operates with minimal wear and negligible heat.

Configuration: Operator to control single or pairs of swinging doors as indicated on the drawings and specified below:

Traffic Pattern: [One way.] [Two way.] [Double egress.]

[Pairs of Doors: [Simultaneous swing.] [Single leaf operation.]

[Double Egress Doors: [Simultaneous swing.] [Independent operation.]

Operator Housing: The extruded aluminum operator housing, 5-1/2” wide x 4-1/2” high (140 mm x 114 mm). The Length of the operator housing determined by site conditions and/or specifications herein.

Length of Housing: Continuous full width of door, unless indicated otherwise.

Structural walls of the base plate have a minimum thickness of 0.187” (3/16”), housing wall thickness of 0.09” (3/32”).

Connecting Hardware: Surface mounted operator is connected to the top face of the swing door by means of an aluminum / steel arm.

The arm shall allow opening angles to 130 degrees.

The arm is equipped with a mechanical device which will sheer in the case of extreme force or wind.

Electronic Controls: Microprocessor controlled unit shall control the operation and switching of the swing operator. The microprocessor control to provide low voltage power supply for all means of actuation. The controls include time delay for normal cycle.

Control will accept signals from peripheral devices such as motion and safety sensors.

On board system monitoring with 24/7 feedback when equipped with the S.M.A.R.T. Panel LCD Display. The unit will display the status of the operator, any faults that occurred and contact information for fault notification.

Microprocessor shall be easily updated with new software versions.

Door Operation:

Power Open: When an opening signal is received, the door will open at the pre-set operator opening speed. At back check, the door slows, and at the pre-selected opening angle the door stops.

If the door is obstructed while opening, it will either stop or reverse (field selectable).

The open position is held by the motor.

Opening Angle: The operator shall have a field adjustable opening angle from 80 degrees to 180 degrees as follows:

Standard arm push side - opening angle to 130 degrees.

Standard arm pull side - opening angle to 98 degrees.

Track arm pull side - opening angle to 180 degrees.

Track arm push side - opening angle to 98 degrees.

Spring Close: An adjustable tension spring shall provide closing.

When the hold open time has elapsed, the operator will close the door automatically, using the motor and spring force. The door will slow at latch check.

The door is kept closed by spring power or extended closing force by the motor.

Power Assist: Operator can be adjusted to provide a lower opening force while pushing or pulling the door manually. Operator allows the door to close when an opening force is no longer applied to the door.

Power assist force is field adjustable from 5 lbf to 15 lbf maximum.

Electronic Dampening: The operator automatically counteracts additional forces applied to the door during the opening or closing cycle by reducing the door speed.

Stack Pressure Control: The opening force is electronically controlled to overcome changes of stack pressure. This control automatically compensates for manual push force.

Lock Engage Circuit: If latching of the door is unsuccessful when at the closed position, the operator will automatically reopen door to 10 degrees and retry closing in an attempt to successfully latch the door.

Door Coordinator: Door movement for a pair of doors with an astragal is sequenced to allow for coordinated opening and closing of doors.

Monitored Safety Sensors: Safety sensors are monitored, and automatic door activation is prevented if a sensor failure occurs. The door will function as a manual swing door and a fault is registered in the controls log.

Fire-Rated Doors: Automatic door operator listed and labeled by a qualified testing agency for use on fire-rated door assemblies that comply with NFPA 80.

<SPECIFIER: Two 18 gauge low voltage stranded wires are required from the automatic door operator to each activation device (wire length 50 feet maximum)>

Electrical Characteristics: Nominal power consumption is 67 watts, 0.08 amps at 120 VAC. Peak power consumption is 2.9 amps and standby power consumption is 0.02 amps.

Overload Protection: Motor is equipped with built-in thermal overload protection.

[Battery Back-up: Header mounted battery provides power for continues operation during power failure. Battery has a warning signal if not working properly.

Battery shall be capable of full operation including powered locking for approximately 200 cycles.]

Cycle Counter: Operator has integrated digital cycle counter that includes total operation time.

SIGNAGE: Provide signage in accordance with ANSI/BHMA A156.19.

ACTIVATION AND SAFETY DEVICES

General: Provide activation and safety devices in accordance with ANSI/BHMA standards, for condition of exposure and for long-term, maintenance-free operation under normal traffic load for type of occupancy indicated. Coordinate activation and safety devices with door operation and door operator mechanisms.

[Knowing Act Activation Device:]

<SPECIFIER: Select types of activation device(s) as required for project.>

[Push Plate: [Flush mounted,] [Surface mounted,] hard wired, [4-1/2 inch square] [6 inch round] stainless steel push plate switches engraved with "Push to Open" with a blue handicap logo.]

[Jamb Mounted Push Plate: Hard wired, 1-1/2 inch x 4-3/4 inch, stainless steel push plate switches engraved with "Push to Open" with a blue handicap logo.]

[Radio Controlled Push Plate: [Flush mounted,] [Surface mounted,] [4-1/2 inch square] [6 inch round] stainless steel push plate switches engraved with "Push to Open" with a blue handicap logo.]

[Touchless Sensor Plate: [Flush mounted,] [Surface mounted,] hard wired, [2-3/4 inch x 4-1/2 inch] [4-1/2 inch square] [black polycarbonate] [stainless steel] sensor plate switches engraved with "Push to Open" and a handicap logo. Microwave technology with an adjustable activation range.]

<SPECIFIER: Door can be used manually with no damage to the operator.>

[Push Activation:]

Pushing or pulling the door open from any position shall activate the opening cycle of the operator. Operator will power the door open and after the hold open time has elapsed, the door will close. This is a programmable feature of the operator.

[Power Assist Activation:]

Operator provides a lower opening force while pushing or pulling the door manually. Operator allows the door to close when an opening force is no longer applied to the door.

<SPECIFIER: Contact Record for safety device recommendations – safety sensors are not required by ANSI/BHMA A156.19 for low energy operators>

Suggested use of safety sensors for low energy operators include door openings subject to elderly or patient use, door openings with gurney or equipment traffic, door openings where people constantly piggy-back through the door, etc.

<SPECIFIER: Retain the following if safety devices are required for the project>

ALUMINUM FINISHES
