Regular Safety Checks
To help you fulfil national/international requirements and to avoid malfunction and risk of injuries, please use the following daily checklist.
WARNING: Do not use the door if repair or adjustment is necessary. Disconnect supply when cleaning or other maintenance is to be carried out.
Daily Visual Inspection
- Activate your operator and visually check fastening and for any damage to operator and cover.
- Inspect cables for wear or damage.
- Check operator mode selector(s).
- Ensure door and glass stability.
- Inspect condition of door seals and weather stripping.
- Check condition of glazing rubbers.
- Verify finger protection is intact.
- Confirm proper operation: door should close slowly and smoothly.
- Ensure no ventilation or objects are obstructing the door.
Functional Testing
Lock Check: Set the programme selector to
OFF and check that the operator and electromechanical lock (if fitted) work together. Ensure the lock securely holds the door.
Manual Activation: Activate manual activation units (if any) and walk towards the door. The door must open appropriately while you pass the entrance/exit.
Automatic Activation: Perform the same test with automatic activation units (sensors).
Safety Sensors: Check safety sensors to ensure they prevent the door from closing when an object is detected.
Escape & Fire Safety
-
Escape Doors (Break-out System): If equipped, set selector to
AUTOmode. Push the door manually in escape direction to ensure it opens freely. Ensure escape route is clear. Restore to normal mode after test. - Fire Doors: If equipped with automatic opening system, shut off power. The door should open and remain open. Restore power and the door should close.
Note: By law, these tests must be performed regularly by trained personnel.
Cleaning Care Instructions
The best way to remove dust and dirt from the Besam SL500, SL500 T, and SL500 SL is to use water and a soft cloth or sponge. A gentle detergent may be used.
Maintenance Schedule
