Safety Features
Standard Operation
When a person approaches the revolving door they are
detected by the Motion Detectors and the door begins to revolve at a speed
of approx. 4 r.p.m. (adjustable). After a preset time the system
switches to the idling speed of approx. 1 r.p.m. and then stops at the
X-Position. (each person approaching will reset timer)
Safety Devices
1) Emergency stop button:
The revolving door can be stopped at any time by pressing
the EMERGENCY STOP button located on two corner posts.
2) Safety Sensor:
The electrical safety units are mounted in ceiling by
the entry and exit. They are activated when the revolving door wings
are approx. 50 cm (20") from the corner post. If beam is broken be
a late entering pedestrian the rotation will stop immediately.
3) Handicapped Person Button:
Unsure or handicapped persons, for whom the walking speed appears too fast,
can operate the handicapped button. The door then revolves for a
separate preset time at a reduced speed of approx. 2 r.p.m. (adjustable),
then returns to normal operating speed.
4) Safety Sensors on lower door
wings:
A safety sensor is mounted on the trailing door leaf
approx. 12 cm above the floor. If one of these sensors responds owing
to a moving person, the system is immediately switched to "stop function".
When clear, the door rotation will revert back to normal speed, (this is
to protect area near core).
5) Safety Sensors on upper door
wings:
The safety sensor strips are mounted on the top frame
section of all 4 door wings. The sensors are placed sloping downwards
approx. 5' and scan a safety zone in front of the revolving door wing.
If a person is "caught" in this safety zone, e.g. when walking slowly,
the revolving door changes back from walking speed to the idling speed
or a "Stop function" is initiated. Determined when ordering!
6) Anti-Panic device:
The 4 door wings are mounted on pivot bearings and are
held in the form of a cross by spring force. They can be folded back
at any time towards or away from the direction of walking, e.g. in a panic
situation (see open position previous page) door wings folded back to the
centre column locking themselves in this position.
The system comes to a halt when the door wings are pushed
forward approx. 10 degrees or pressed back 5 degrees.
7) Electrodynamic Brake:
To increase the breaking power in an emergency situation
such as safety sensors tripped or doors folded, the armature current induced
in the driving motor is diverted to the breaking resistor.
8) Torque-limitation device:
Force required to stop rotation of the door is limited
to a force not greater than can be applied by one person.
