2.02 AUTOMATIC GT "WHISPERSLIDE" SYSTEM

A.             GT Model #1175 Whisperslide as indicated on door schedule and details.

B.        Mode of operation: Sliding door shall be driven by an electro-mechanical operator with a micro-computer control system. The door will be pulled from closed to open and open to close position stopping the door in both directions by electrically reducing the voltage, stalling door against mechanical stop. Opening, closing speeds and hold open time shall be adjustable. A reinforced timing belt shall be used to convert rotating motion from the operator sprocket into horizontal motion of the door

C.             Components:

1. Aluminum doors, sidelites, operator housing and frame.

2. Rollers-support, anti-riser and guide.

3. Door carrier hanger assembly, breakaway latch, limiting arm and door lock.

4. Air infiltration and intrusion protection equipment.

5. Gyro Tech Whisperslide power close operator with micro-computer control.

6. (Optional) Access Security Equipment

1a)             Door panel(s) and sidelite(s) panel shall be factory assembled with 3/8"-16 threaded tie rods spanning full length of top and bottom rails. Snap-in glass stop with integral extruded vinyl standoff to accommodate glass flexing. A horizontal muntin bar to provide glass protection.

1b)             Operator housing section shall be three piece construction 6-1/2"(165.10 mm) by 7-1/2"(190.5 mm) extrusion with enclosed end caps. All header sections shall have a minimum thickness of 0.140" (3.6mm) and shall be fabricated of 6063-T5 aluminum alloy.

1c)             Sidelite configuration shall be fixed, full breakaway or pocket type.

1d)       Finish: Aluminum shall have a standard finish of AA-M12-C22-A31 (204R1, clear) or AA-M12-C22-A42 (dark bronze). Black and special finishes available upon request.

1e)       Vertical jambs shall be of 1-3/4" (44.4mm) by 4-1/2" (114.3mm) extruded aluminum tubes. 1-3/4" (44.45mm) by 6-3/8" (161.93mm) for pocket type units. Optional framing available.

2a)       The door assembly shall ride on two 2-11/16" (68.3mm) dia. support rollers incorporating lubricated sealed ball bearings rated at 250 lbs. each. The door shall be held on the track by means of two 2-7/16" (62.2mm) anti-riser rollers. Lateral adjustment of the door assembly shall provide positive sealing at door edges. Door height shall be adjustable by 9/32" (7.1mm).

2b)       Fixed Sidelite and Pocket Units - Each door shall include one guide assembly incorporating double rollers with sleeve bushings. Guide assembly shall be attached to the door with 10 gauge (3.44mm) thick-formed guide bracket. All steel brackets and fittings shall be plated for corrosion resistance.

2c)       Full Open Units - Each door shall include one guide assembly incorporating one roller and bottom guide riding in a surface or recessed floor track assembly.

3a)       Entrance systems shall have door panels attached to a door carrier assembly by means of an adjustable support rod pivot assembly and corrosion resistant adjustable breakaway release latch holding panel in the closed position under normal automatic operation. The support rod pivot assembly allows the door panel to be broken outward at any point in the door's opening or closing cycle allowing for safe emergency egress in compliance with NFPA 101. The door panel in the breakout mode disconnects the power to the control circuit inhibiting automatic door operation. The control circuit shall be reset by re-engaging the door panel with the door carrier assembly. Breakaway pressure shall be field adjustable (5-50 lbs.) to meet local building code requirements but will be factory set at 50 lbs. maximum.

3b)       Door assembly shall have a limiting arm to control the door as it swings in the direction of egress.

3c)       The active door will incorporate a two-point lock securing the lead stiles and door carrier assembly. In the case of a single slider, securing at the jamb and door carrier assembly. The lock assembly will incorporate a key cylinder on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior in accordance with NFPA 101.

4)         Double pile weatherstripping on the lead edge of the sliding door(s) .36" thick (9.1mm) including the area of the lock.
