10.1 General tips / Safety concerns
Important: In all instances where work is being done, the area is to be secured from pedestrian traffic, and the main power removed to prevent injury.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 parts of the body identified:
- 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 safeguarded 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.
10.2 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.
