10.1 General tips / Safety concerns
10.1.1 General tips / Safety concerns
In all instances, where work is being done, the area is to be secured from pedestrian traffic, and the power removed to prevent injury.
- 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 specification section.
- Make sure that the power is off before installing.
- 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 identified parts of the body:
- Fingers: a distance greater than 25 mm or less than 8 mm
- Heads: a distance greater than 200 mm
- Feet: a distance greater than 50 mm
- Whole body: a distance greater than 500 mm
- The operator may be installed above or below 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.
10.3 Installation examples
The following diagrams illustrate standard installation scenarios and wall reinforcement types.
Building Material Legend
- A: Non-combustible material in fire application (Steel reinforcement or rivnut)
- B: Wood reinforcement
- C: Expansion-shell bolt (for brick wall min. M6x85, UPAT PSEAB10/25)
Wall Types
- Aluminium profile system
- Plasterboard wall
- Reinforced concrete wall and brick wall
- Plasterboard wall (Alternate configuration)
10.4 Fastening requirements
| Minimum requirements of wall profile * | Base material |
|---|---|
| 5 mm ** | Steel |
| 6 mm ** | Aluminium |
| min. 50 mm from the underside | Reinforced concrete |
| 50 mm | Wood |
| Expansion-shell bolt, min. M6x85 (UPAT PSEAB10/25), min. 50 mm from the underside | Brick wall |
* Besam minimum recommended requirements. Building Codes may give different specifications.
** Thinner wall profiles must be reinforced with rivnuts.

10.6 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.
Example: If PULL has a 20 mm extension, the PUSH must have a 70 mm extension. If PULL has 0 mm extension, the PUSH must have a 50 mm extension.
For installation, follow the instructions for the applicable arm system. If using a closing coordinator, see page 51 before starting the installation.
