4 Design and function description
4 Design and function description
Design
The sliding door operator Besam SL500 T works electromechanically. The motor, control unit,
transmission – and optional emergency unit and electromechanical locking device – are all assembled
in a support beam with an integrated cover. The motor and gear box transmit movement to the
door leaves by means of a tooth belt. The door leaf is fitted to a door adapter/carriage wheel fitting
and hangs on a sliding track. The guiding at the bottom is carried out by means of floor guides (Full
Break-Out) or Side Panel Guides (Fixed Sidelites).
Function
Opening
When an OPENING IMPULSE is received by the control unit the motor starts and transmits movement
to the door leaves, which move to the open position.
Closing
The closing starts when no OPENING IMPULSE is received and the HOLD OPEN TIME has expired.
Safety functions integrated in the operator

To permit safe passage between closing doors, the doors immediately reverse to the open position
if an obstruction is detected, then resume their interrupted movement at low speed to check
whether the obstruction has disappeared. If an obstruction is detected between opening doors
and surrounding walls or interior fittings, the doors immediately stop and then close after a time
delay.
Microprocessor for precise control

The microprocessor has an integral self-monitoring device that detects most interference or faulty
signals in door operation. If an input signal does not correspond to the preprogramming, the mi-
croprocessor automatically takes necessary measures to ensure a safe operation.
Emergency escape
The Besam SL500 T can be combined with an emergency unit that automatically opens or closes¹
the doors in the event of a power failure and can also be interfaced with the fire alarm or smoke
detector. Safety can be further reinforced by incorporating a break-out fitting. This enables the
doors and sidelites to swing outwards in an emergency situation by applying a light pressure at
the front edge.
Doors used for emergency escape in buildings such as hospitals and homes for elderly people may
not be locked or put in mode selection OFF.
¹ Electrical emergency operation unit only
Safety sensors
Safety sensors must be installed per ANSI A156.10 Standards for Power Operated Pedestrian Appli-
cations.

After installation, final adjustment for proper operation of the door system, shall be performed in
the field.
8.3 Installation Overview

This is only a summary of the installation process. See the rest of this manual for detailed information.
a Start by determining the answers to the pre-installation questions.
b First install header to jamb tubes if concealed, tilt into place, level and plumb, then secure to
rough opening with shims and appropriate fasteners. See "Surface Applied" section on page 19,
for fastener recommendations. If surface applied mount operator to rough opening header and
level.
c Full Break-Out: mount the pin or threshold guide track.

8.4 Installation Examples

8.4.1 Concealed
16 Issue 2013-06-27 1010767-US-1.0

8.4.2 Surface Applied
1010767-US-1.0 Issue 2013-06-27 17

8.5 Site Inspection

The rough opening must be plumb and square and the finished floor must not vary by more than
3/8" from the highest to the lowest point. If necessary, have the floor leveled before attempting to
install the sliding door system.
It is important to check the floor level within the path of the doors in Break-Out mode. The doors
must not encounter any obstruction when broken out. The grade of the floor in the direction of
break-out should ideally be 90° or greater, measuring from the highest point of the floor (see below).
For concealed applications the rough opening width should be 1/2" wider than the overall frame
width of the sliding door system, and the rough opening height should be 1/4" higher than the
overall frame height. For standard installations, the overall frame height will be 89-3/4", higher with
transoms.
For Surface Applied Standard Applications all narrow frame with 1/4” glass, both Single Slide and
Bi-parts, the overall frame height is 91”. (Overhead Concealed overall frame height is 89 ¾”.)
18 Issue 2013-06-27 1010767-US-1.0

8.6 Installation and Adjustment Processes

8.6.1 Surface Applied Mechanical Installation
In most instances, Surface Applied installation is similar to the Overhead Concealed Package instal-
lation with the exception that it is mounted to the side of the door opening. With this in mind,
rather than to repeat the same information, references are made within this process to those found
in the Overhead Concealed Package installation process.
a Ensure that existing doorframe work is square to the threshold and the threshold area is level
including the break-out area. Reference "Checking – Marking Out – Fastening" section on page
22. Look for high spots in the floor, if there is a slight rise in the floor at any point then the bottom
of the jambs should be set level with the highest point, with the header leveled across the
opening. Reference, "Leveling Header and Jambs" process on page 24.
b Using the same criteria as above, check the wall where the beam and jamb will be attached.
Look for high spots and fill in the valleys and shim where our fasteners will be going in order to
give the beam a flat level surface to be mounted. Failure to do this could cause the beam to
bend and twist, resulting in component binding.
c Determine location of Mounting Clip – mark, drill and secure.
Mounting Clip
d Attach Jamb Tubes to Header. See "Checking – Marking Out – Fastening" on page 22.
e Lift Header and dry fit. Drill for attachment and attach to substrate or wall using standard con-
struction methods.
Drill attachment holes in this area
Note!
Attachment points will vary from application to applica-
tion. Use best building practices and appropriate hard-
ware in order to install beam and jambs securely.
1010767-US-1.0 Issue 2013-06-27 19

f Caulk back of Header and Jambs and attach to existing structure.

g Slide Filler Tube apart and attach back section of it to existing structure so that it will be flush
with the existing opening and so that the wire can access the hole(s) in header.
Ensure that the surface is even, particularly when attaching to block or con-
crete surfaces - level and shim as necessary. (Failure to provide and even
surface results in warping the profile making it impossible to snap the filler
tube together.)

p Once the doors are properly adjusted, adjust Break-Out Sensor in a manner that allows it to
sense the presences of the doors until doors are broke out. (This is accomplished by setting the
sensor so that it aligns with the magnetic strip in the door frame.)
q For sensor system connection, see "Connection of activation units" on page 51 to complete this
task.
r Secure cover and attach with screws. See "Installing/Removing the Cover" on page 45.

8.6.2 Overhead Concealed Mechanical Installation

Checking – Marking Out – Fastening
a Mark the center of the rough opening width and the center of the header. (The center marks
will be aligned during installation.)
b Drill holes at the top, middle and bottom of the jambs for securing to the door opening. (Adjust
for site conditions that may require the holes to be at a certain height.)
c Drill 1/4" holes through the face or pocket of the jamb and out the back. Then drill the back
holes to a minimum of 1/2" to allow for later adjustment – see illustration.
d Mount jambs to beam using five screws per jamb. (ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems jambs are
factory prepared for Header installation.)
Hex Head Screws
22 Issue 2013-06-27 1010767-US-1.0

e Check that jamb and beam are aligned where indicated below.
f If the beam to jamb is not properly aligned, loosen the screws and align beam to jamb and
retighten screws.
1010767-US-1.0 Issue 2013-06-27 23

Leveling Header and Jambs
Note: The header and jambs must be square and level to ensure a proper installation!
a Inspect the rough door opening, measuring from side to side and using a level, to find areas
where shims may be needed. Look for high spots in the floor, if there is a slight rise in the floor
at any point then the bottom of the jambs should be set level with the highest point of the floor,
with the header leveled across the opening. Also, check the floor in the break-out panel’s swing
area for being level. Any high spots will need to be considered when setting header height.
b Tilt header/jamb assembly up into rough opening in wall, being careful to pull power through
access hole in jamb.
c Start with one jamb. Loosely install the middle fastener, using a level on the outside of the frame
to plumb the jamb. Confirm that the header is level across the opening. Repeat for the opposing
jamb, loosely installing first the middle fastener, then the top and bottom. Return to the first
jamb and install the remaining top and bottom fasteners loosely.
d Starting with the top screws on both jambs, equally shim behind both jambs, leaving equal gaps
and centering the package in the door opening. Tighten the top fasteners. Use your level on the
inside of one jamb to determine shim requirements for the middle fastener, then shim and
tighten. Repeat for the bottom fastener. Shim and tighten the middle and bottom fasteners on
the other jamb in the same way. Check for jamb bowing with a straightedge and correct if
present.
e If the header and jambs are truly square, the top and bottom jamb-to-jamb measurements will
be identical and both diagonal measurements will be identical. If necessary, strings can be taped
from corner-to-corner on the outside of the jambs. The strings should cross in the center of the
door opening, slightly touching each other. If there is a gap between the strings or the strings
are pushing against each other, than the package is twisted and needs adjusting.

Fitting the Floor Guide Track

The following are installation steps for floor mounted guide tracks, recess and surfaced mounted
pin guide tracks and G channel tracks for Fixed Sidelite applications.
Note: It is important that the floor guide track is installed level, to prevent derailment of the floor
guide foot when the door is swung out and to provide proper door operation.
a Inspect the floor for conditions such as high and low spots that can cause the track to twist and
rock. High spots (such as small rocks) should be removed; shim the track assembly at the low
spots.
b Using a chalk line, snap a reference line from jamb to jamb on the side where the track is being
installed.
c Using the measurements provided (see "Site Inspection" on page 18), lay the track in place.
While standing on the track and keeping it in line with the chalk line, mark the holes to be
drilled.
d Secure the track to the floor with concrete anchors and screws, leveling it with shims from end
to end. If possible, a sealant should be used under the track assembly. To check for proper lev-
eling, measure from the top of the track to the bottom of the header, checking for the same
result at each fastener.
Note: All screws must be countersunk and fully tightened to avoid interference with guide
travel.

Fixed Sidelite Installation Procedure
Note: Remove any glass stop or packing material from the sidelite before installation.
a End load the sidelite panel on the roller track guide. Depress the spring loaded pins located at
each end of the top door rail and guide into the mating holes located in the beam. Slide the
panel against the jamb, leaving 1/8" (3mm) gap. Check panel to ensure that both pins have en-
gaged into the header.
b For bi-part, install 2nd sidelite as above.
1010767-US-1.0 Issue 2013-06-27 27

Setting of the Slow Leaves 2 (Fixed Sidelite)

a Put the carriers at the closed position, remove the black plastic end caps located at each end
of the carriers.
b Maneuver the door towards the jamb “opposite the carrier” and insert the bottom roller guide
wheels “located at the bottom heel of the active leaf door” into the cutout in the bottom hori-
zontal rail of the sidelite. See below.
c Maneuver the carrier and door such that the bolt holes inside the carrier line up with the bolt
holes on the blocks at the top of each end of the active leaf door. See below.
d Insert the bolts and washers through each end of the carrier and fasten the carrier to the blocks.
See below.
e Install end cap to lead edge of carrier.
f Make sure that the lead edge of the door and the lead edge of the carrier is flush, adjusting the
door blocks if necessary.
g Reinstall the black plastic end cap that was removed earlier.

Full Break-Out Sidelite Installation Procedure
Note: Remove any glass stop or packing material from the sidelite before installation.
a Install and level any thresholds (surface or recessed) before installing any of the door panels.
b Check that jamb mounted bottom pivot is installed and tight. Also make sure that the pivot
plate is also secured to the floor.
c If the pivot base does not rest fully on the floor, support the pivot base with shims.
d Place the bearing washer on the pivot base.
e Set the sidelite on the pivot and tilt it into place. (There should be no more than 1/8" between
the bottom of the header and the top of the sidelite.)
f To adjust, raise or lower the bottom pivot by loosening the set screw at the side of the floor
portion of the pivot and turn the shaft clockwise to lower the sidelite and counter clockwise to
raise the sidelite; then retighten the set screw.
g With the sidelite on the bottom pivot, carefully push down the top spring-loaded pivot pin and
line it up with its receiving hole in the header portion of the pivot until the shaft pops into place.
h Check all clearances and adjust the Break-Out Latch (See "Adjusting Ball Catch" section on page
41 and "Adjusting Magnetic Catch (Option)" section on page 42).
i If the distance between the jamb and hinge stile needs to be adjusted, loosen the top and/or
bottom door portion pivot and slide left or right. Once adjusted properly, retighten screws.
j When all sidelite panels are installed, tighten top pivot security set screw to prevent depressing
(carding) pivot pin.

Height Adjustment
The height adjustment is to be carried out with the vertical adjustment screw as described in section
titled, "Setting of Fast Leaves 1 (Full Break Out)" on page 33.
• It is very important that the door leaf hangs vertically after the adjustment and that bi-parting
doors are parallel in the closed position (no gap at the top or bottom).
• The guide pin roller (frame doors) should not touch the upper edge of the door guide track or
become easily disengaged.
• If a weather brush is used on the lower edge of the door leaf, it should only lightly touch the
floor.
• Check that the door leaf is parallel with the fixed panel.

Adjusting Ball Catch (Sidelite and Fast Leaf)

• Check that the sidelite door assembly engages properly with the sidelite header assembly. Both
can be repositioned slightly if necessary.
• Adjust the tension on the ball catch by turning the adjustment screw, to meet local egress codes.
To increase tension, turn the screw counterclockwise. To decrease tension, turn the adjustment
screw clockwise. Tension is not to exceed 50 lbs. break out force; see ANSI/BHMA standards at
back of manual. Installer must verify that without power, break-out force does not exceed 50
lbs or local egress codes.
A magnetic panic break out switch (bi-parting units have two) shuts the operator off when the
sidelite is opened. A ceramic magnet is located in the upper horizontal sidelite rail. The switch(s)
are located over the magnet in the bottom face of the beam. The magnet location can be field ad-
justed by loosening the bracket mounting screw. See Electrical section to wire the break out
switches (MCU terminals 1 and 3).

Adjusting Magnetic Catch (Sidelite and Fast Leaf Option)

a Check that the sidelite door assembly engages properly with the sidelite header assembly. Both
can be repositioned slightly if necessary.
b Adjust the tension on the magnetic catch by moving the magnets back and forth inside the
magnetic catch, as required by local egress codes. Tension is not to exceed 50 lbs. break out
force; see ANSI/BHMA standards at back of manual. Installer must verify that without power,
break-out force does not exceed 50 lbs.
Potential hazard of shattering magnets if not handled correctly, use hand
and eye protection at all times when working with magnetic catch.
Gap between door-header/door-carrier should not exceed 1/8” gap in order for magnetic catch
to function properly.
Loosen screws shown to adjust magnets. Only loosen screws 2-3 turns each with a 4MM allen
key. Use plastic shim to adjust magnet away from clapper plate. Place plastic shim in center of
each magnet and tap shim in order to move magnet.

8.6.3 Installing/Removing the Cover
In all instances, where work is being done, the area is to be secured from
pedestrian traffic, and the power removed to prevent injury.
Cover latching can be achieved when the cover is in the full open position by pressing the cover
toward the unit. (Usually when opening the cover, it will latch with little effort, making it appear
to be an automatic function.)
To unlatch the cover, lift slightly, pull and the cover will rotate downward, thereby allowing it to
close.
To secure the cover, unlatch and close, then tighten the screws located in each end and/or the
center, ensuring that they fall in the slots on the cover latches.
To fully remove the cover, start by uninstalling each detachment guard. Next, disconnect wiring
coming from the sensors. Lift cover off of the hinge on the beam.
To install the cover, center the cover on the beam and mate the hinge portion of the cover to the
beam. Install the detachment guards equally spaced down the length of the beam. Re-connect any
wires that were disconnected.
Close and secure cover with screws, as shown below.

9.3.9 Standard operation mode selectors

Types
A narrow version with measurements WxH 1 9/16"x 1 3/16" (40x80 mm), with either 5 or 3 buttons
are available.
The operation mode selectors can be flush mounted in profiles or in electrical wall boxes. The op-
eration mode selectors can also be installed surface applied in wall boxes.
Flush mounted Surface mounted
Operation mode selector functionality

Three alternative selectable codes are used.
• The default access is obtained by pushing an arrow symbol pointing up or down for 2 seconds.
• An optional access code can be selected where the access is obtained by briefly pushing in turn
the arrow up symbol, followed by the arrow down symbol, followed by the arrow down symbol
again and at last the arrow up. The entire code must be entered within 3 seconds.
• No access code.
The different operation modes are selected by pushing the arrow symbols pointing upwards or
downwards. When a button is pushed a buzzer will sound. The present selection is indicated by a
blue light to the left of the function symbol or text.
When an arrow symbol has not been pushed for 15 seconds the access will be locked.
In the upper right corner a flashing light can be displayed.
- A red light every other second is indicating an error in the door operator. If the error remains after
a RESET then service is needed. See also page 71.
- If the red light is quickly flashing 3 times per second it is indicating an internal error in the operation
mode selector.
- An orange light every other second is indicating a status or condition that can be cleared by the
owner e.g. a break-out door is standing open.
- A yellow light every other second is indicating that maintenance is needed.
1010767-US-1.0 Issue 2013-06-27 55

One or two operation mode selectors can be used. When having two operation mode selectors,
one will be a Master and will override the other, called Slave. While the Master is in AUTO the mode
selection can be made from the Slave. A Slave mode selector has a cut jumper. See illustration below.
The operation mode selector(s) can also be remotely controlled from e.g. a timer or an optional
operation mode selector. IOU required. The standard operation mode selector(s) will not indicate
the new selection made from the remote timer or operation mode selector.

11 Start-Up
11 Start-Up
After installing the operator, the Start-up and adjustment must be carried out in the following order
(see also "Electrical connections" on page 46).
a Set the Program Selector to the “AUTO” position. With all accessories such as well adjusted
sensors and breakout switches connected, connect the main power plug to the control unit. If
the door is open and no opening or presence impulse is active, it will move to the closed position
with low speed.
b Push the Learn button, LB for 2 seconds to initiate a learn cycle. The display is flashing letter L.
See detailed description on next page.
c To check the door movement, give opening impulse by shorting the terminals speeds on the
main control unit (MCU).
d If necessary adjust the door speed parameters to the required speeds.
e Check that the installation complies with valid regulations and requirements from the authorities.
11.1 Adjustments and selection of special operating functions

The main control unit has a two-digit display that can show text and/or digits.
UP
SELECT
LEARN/
EXIT
DOWN
'on' = operation OK
E1 = flashing letter E followed by a digit is displaying an active error (0-9) and this digit is showing
the coarse type of error. It is alternating between this coarse error and a second two digit number
specifying the error.
If several errors are present they will be displayed in sequence.
Errors can be cleared by a RESET from the operation mode selector or by turning off and back on
the mains power. For a detailed description of errors, see "Troubleshooting" on page 71.
60 Issue 2013-06-27 1010767-US-1.0

11 Start-Up
To the right of the display there are four push buttons, to the left a Learn/Exit button, to the right
a Select button, one Up and one Down button.
The Learn function can be of three different types.
• By pushing the Learn/Exit for one second each connected electronic module, including the op-
eration mode selector will be recognized.
• By pushing the Learn/Exit for two seconds the display will flash L and when the button is released
a complete Learn cycle will start. The main power supply type is also detected. The door will
first close, start to open a short distance and close again. It will sense if an electromechanical
lock is installed and also find out of which type it is. It will then open the door and during the
opening it will calculate the friction in the system. It will stop in the fully open position and
register the clear opening width. It will also register connected sensors and can judge whether
they are monitored or not. After a 4-10 seconds delay it will close again. During the closing it
will automatically calculate the door weight and adjust the speed accordingly.
Some parameters, like whether the door is biparting or single sliding, cannot be determined
automatically and have to be altered by the installer. If manual intervention is needed, the door
will reopen and the Learn will end with the display alternating between P and two digits repre-
senting the parameter(s) that must be altered manually. By pushing the right Select button
once you will enter this parameter and by pushing the Select button once again the value of
this parameter will be shown while flashing. By pushing the Up or Down buttons you can step
up or down the value within the allowed range. To confirm the selected value, push the right
Select button again. When all values are right, push the Learn/Exit button for 2 seconds and the
display will show 'on'. After a two seconds delay the door will close and is ready for operation
or for further adjustments.
• By pushing the Learn/Exit for ten seconds the operator will return to the default factory set pa-
rameters. While pushing, the display will flash L and when 'on' is displayed it indicates that you
have returned to the default parameters.
When pushing the right Select button the first time, each of the two display windows will make a
rotating test pattern. Verify that all seven segments of the two display windows will be lit during
the test. Otherwise there is a risk that you can misjudge the digits shown in a defective display.
When the display test is finalized the display will show two steady digits representing a parameter.
By pushing the up or down buttons you can step up or down to be able to select the parameter
you want to adjust. By pushing the right Select button again you will be able to read out the present
value of the parameter you have selected. It is shown as two flashing digits and can be adjusted
within an allowed range, by pushing the Up or Down buttons. When the proper value is selected
you push the right Select button again.
If you do not want to alter a new value you can always return to normal operation 'on' by pushing
the left Exit button. If you wait ten seconds without pushing any button you will also return to
normal operation 'on'.

11.2 Description of parameters marked with *
CT Name Description
01 Low Speed The low speed is self adjusting to optimal operation if this parameter is set to
max. Depending on authority or installation requirements the low speed, low
speed distance opening and/or closing can be further reduced.
06 Lock Release If “Lock Release” is On, the door will apply force in the closing direction when
the lock is unlocked. This is made to prevent a lock from being stuck in locked
position when opening. Should be set to On when an electromechanical lock
is installed.
07, 08 Presence This parameter determines if a presence impulse is normally open (NO) or
Input Configura- normally closed (NC). The “Presence Impulse 1 and 2 Configuration” selected
tion with the function selector applies also to “Stop Configuration”.
09 Presence Im- Set to “00” if no monitoring of Presence impulse sensors is required or if no
pulse Monitoring presence impulse sensors are installed. Set to “01” if one Presence impulse
sensor that shall be monitored is installed (Presence impulse 1). Set to “02”
if two Presence impulse sensors that shall be monitored are installed (Presence
impulse 1 and 2).
10 Emergency The emergency unit will be tested by opening the door with the emergency
Unit Monitoring unit. The test is never done in program selection Open and also normally not
in Off, unless parameter 37 “Emergency Action In OFF Mode”, see below, is set
to On.
Authorities can demand that the emergency unit is monitored on a regular
basis, see parameter 40 “Emergency Unit Test Interval” below. Half an hour
before this time has elapsed, a ghost impulse will initiate the emergency unit
test.
The test is also always performed after a Reset and after changing program
selection from a position where a test is not done to a position where the test
is a demand.
13 Hold Force Adjustment of the force used to keep the door in closed position.
14 Group / Param- Preprogrammed parameter sets suitable for specific conditions.
eter Set
22 Auto Width If “Auto Width” is chosen this time determines when the door shall open from
Activation Time partial open width to full open width.
23 Auto Width Re- This parameter determines how long time that has to elapse before a new
sume Time opening impulse does not open the door to full open width instead of partial
open width after an Auto Width opening has been performed.
24 Jam Hold Time Sets how long time the door shall be stopped when a jam is detected during
opening and the time until the door can restart after a stop impulse.

ANSI/BHMA standard 156.10 and Besam standards specify that caution signs must be affixed to
both sides of any power operated pedestrian door. With double doors, signs should be applied to
each door. Sliding doors with swinging (Break-out leaves) shall be provided with signs reading “IN
EMERGENCY PUSH TO OPEN”. The signs shall have red backgrounds with contrasting letters one-
inch high minimum. The signs shall read horizontally and be located adjacent to the lockstile on a
centerline 36 inches minimum and 60 inches maximum from the floor, applied to the side appro-
priate for egress. ANSI/BHMA A156.10. In addition, the sign “AUTOMATIC DOOR” with letters 1/2”
high minimum will be applied to the door, visible from both sides. If switch activated, use “AUTO-
MATIC DOOR - ACTIVATE SWITCH TO OPERATE”.
Note: The kit decals are double-sided and normally will only need to be applied to one side of a
clear glass door. If the decals are not clearly visible on the other side due to the condition of the

13 Troubleshooting
13 Troubleshooting
Before starting the troubleshooting, check that the operation mode selector setting is correct and
then RESET the operator. Start the troubleshooting by checking the mechanical and electrical parts
of the operator in the following order.
The electromechanical parts are fixed in the support beam. To replace, the complete unit is to be
loosened and replaced.
13.1 Mechanical checking and remedies

Disconnect the mains power. Unlock all mechanical locks. Pull the door leaf manually and check
that the door can be easily moved over the complete sliding track/floor guide. If the door leaf stops
or is hard to move, the reason may be sand, stones, rubbish etc. in the floor guide.
The door leaf may also be jamming on the floor or on the sweeps. Clean the floor guide, adjust the
door leaf height/depth or take other necessary measures e.g. replacement of wear parts until the
door leaf is running smoothly when manually operated.
13.2 Main control unit display

The main control unit is equipped with a two digit display for error indication.
• During normal operation the display shows 'on'.
• If the display is extinguished check the mains power, power supply cable and perform a RESET.
If the problem remains replace the main control unit or the power supply.
• When an error is active the display is alternating between a coarse error type e.g. E4 and a second
two digit number specifying the error more in detail e.g. 03. If several errors are active they will
be displayed in sequence. On each electronic unit there is also a green light emitting diode
(LED). An extinguished or flashing LED is indicating that this unit is failing.

14 Maintenance/Service
Regular inspections should be made according to national regulations and product documentation
by a ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems-trained and qualified technician. The number of service occasions
should be in accordance with national requirements and product documentation. This is especially
important when the installation concerns a fire-approved door or a door with an emergency
opening function.
a Remove dust and dirt from the operator. Dirt on the sliding track should be removed with
methylated spirits. If necessary replace the sliding track.
b None of the parts need lubrication.
c The tooth belt must be kept dry and clean. Check the belt tension.
d Check that all nuts and bolts are tightened well.
e Adjust, if necessary, the door leaf speed, the HOLD OPEN TIME and the door leaf position to
comply with valid regulations and requirements.
f Check that the function of emergency escape units always is operational.
g If an electromechanical lock, LDP (locked with power) or LDB (bi-stable), is installed check the
function as follows:
• Set the operation mode selector to EXIT. The door should open and close without any sound
from the lock.
• Set the operation mode selector to OFF. Make sure the door can not be opened by pulling
the door leaf in the opening direction.
• When the operation mode selector is set back to EXIT, two clicking sounds (LDB) or one
clicking sound (LDP) indicate that the lock is unlocked. The door should then open and close
without any sound from the lock.
