8.1 General Tips / Safety Concerns
Installation Guidelines
- Make sure that the power is off before installing.
- If there are sharp edges after drilling the cable outlets, chamfer the edges to avoid damage to the cables.
- For enhanced security and vandalism protection, always mount the operator access in the interior of a building whenever possible.
- Make sure the ambient temperature is in the range specified in the Technical specifications page.
- Make sure that the door leaf and the wall are properly reinforced at the installation points.
- Unpack the operator and make sure that all parts are delivered in accordance with the packing note and that the operator is in good mechanical condition.
- Ensure proper material is being used for the door leaves and that there are no sharp edges. Projecting parts shall not create any potential hazards. If glass is used, bare glass edges shall not come in contact with other glass. Toughened or laminated glass are suitable glasses.
Entrapment Prevention
Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surrounding fixed parts due to the opening movement of the driven part is avoided. The following distances are considered sufficient to avoid entrapments for the identified parts of the body:
- For fingers: A distance greater than 25 mm or less than 8 mm
- For feet: A distance greater than 50 mm
- For heads: A distance greater than 200 mm
- For the whole body: A distance greater than 500 mm
Danger points shall be safe guarded up to a height of 2.5 m from the floor level.
The operator shall not be used with a doorset incorporating a wicket door.
8.2 Operator / Door Handing
Operator/Door handing (DIN Right or DIN Left) is determined by which side the hinges are mounted seen from the swing side.
8.3 Installation Examples
Refer to specific diagrams (ILL-01625 and related schematics) for mounting details. Key components identified in installation scenarios include:
- A: Steel reinforcement or rivet nut
- B: Wood reinforcement
- C: Expansion-shell bolt (for brick wall min. M6x85, UPAT PSEA B10/25)
- 1: Aluminum profile system
- 2: Plasterboard wall
- 3: Reinforced concrete wall and brick wall
- 4: Plasterboard wall (Non-combustible material in fire application)
8.4 Fastening Requirements
Note: Fasteners are not inherently included.
| Minimum Requirement of Wall Profile* | Base Material |
|---|---|
| 5 mm** | Steel |
| 6 mm*** | Aluminum |
| Min. 50 mm from the underside | Reinforced concrete |
| 50 mm | Wood |
| Expansion-shell bolt, min. M6x85, UPAT PSEA B10/25, min. 50 mm from the underside | Brick wall |
* ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems minimum recommended requirements. Building Codes may give different specifications.
** Thinner wall profiles (3-5 mm) must be reinforced with rivet nuts.
*** Thinner wall profiles (4-6 mm) must be reinforced with rivet nuts.
8.5 Tools Required
- Torx T10
- Metric Allen wrenches: 2.5, 3, 4, and 6 mm
- Flat blade screwdriver (potentiometer and terminal size)
- Screwdriver (Philips size 2)
- Nut driver, 5 mm
- Carpenter’s level
- Tape rule
- Power drill and set of drill bits
- Center punch
- Wire stripper
- Silicone sealant
- Installation and Service Manual (this manual)
8.6 Installation on Double Doors
If the operators are to be mounted at the same height with pushing and pulling arm systems, the height is determined by the pulling arm system (PULL). The pushing arm system (PUSH) must always have a shaft extension, minimum 50 mm, maximum 70 mm, to match the mounting heights visually.
