1. About this document
1.1 Contents and purpose
The purpose of this manual is the safe and efficient mounting and commissioning of the ED sliding door operators (hereinafter also called “operator”). Before commencing any work, personnel must have carefully read through and understood this manual. Complying with all safety instructions and action steps provided in this manual is the basic prerequisite for safe working.
1.2 Target group
This manual is designed for use by qualified assembling technicians. Thanks to their professional training and experience, as well as their knowledge of technical terminology and the relevant standards and regulations, a qualified assembling technician is able to mount and commission the operator and to independently detect and avert possible dangers.
The assembling technician should have knowledge and experience in the following areas:
- Industrial safety, operational safety, and accident prevention regulations
- Using ladders and scaffolding
- Using tools and machinery
- Attachment of fixing materials
- Assessment of the building fabric
1.3 Documents storage
This manual and the applicable documents must be kept during the service life of the product and must be passed on with the product.

2. Safety
2.1 Intended use
ED 100 and ED 250 are electromechanical swing door operators and are used solely for opening and closing swing doors in indoor areas with a door leaf weight of max. 160 or 400 kg.
2.2 Improper use
The use of control elements, settings or procedures not described in this documentation may cause electric shocks, hazards posed by electrical voltages/currents, and/or hazards posed by mechanical processes.
2.3 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
Any mounting above and beyond the correct mounting is considered to be incorrect mounting.
2.4 Risk assessment by installer
The assembling technician should ensure that the results of the risk assessment are complied with. The assembling technician should carry out their own inspection and flag up any unresolved hazards.
2.4.1 Special protection requirements with regard to particularly vulnerable people
If the risk assessment results in an unacceptable impact for a door user, in terms of a health risk or risk of injury, protection must be added in the form of a safety device (connecting a safety sensor or mounting a protective panel). This is to be taken into special consideration if particularly vulnerable persons (e.g. children, elderly people or disabled people) use the door area.
2.5 Use of ED 100 and ED 250 on fire and smoke protection doors
Before installation, it is necessary to check whether the operator and door combination is permitted and complies with local standards. As a rule operators must be switched off in the event of fire. When used in Germany, the system must be operated as a local hold-open system. The EVAC function can be used as an optional subordinate function.
2.6 Residual risk
The danger point on each swing door (also those that are manually operated) at the secondary closing edge is generally known to all users of a door. The danger point is not controllable by the operator manufacturer, and their protection is often not possible in terms of design and functional technology.
Any suitable jam protection (e.g. rubber or textile cover) is available in specialist shops and is not included in the scope of delivery.
2.7 Briefing
After successfully setting, commissioning and functional testing of the door unit, the mounting and operation instructions must be handed to the facility operator and a briefing on the operation and maintenance of the door unit must be carried out.
