All specifications in this manual and the applicable documents must be taken into account.

2.2 Non-intended 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 use above and beyond the correct use is considered to be incorrect use. Do not allow children to play with the ES PROLINE sliding door unit, the regulating and control equipment or the remote controls.

2.4 Basic warnings

2.5 Danger points

Depending on the structural condition, door variant and protection option, residual risks exist at the closing edges, e.g. due to slight crushing or force limited impacts.

3.1 Operating mode switch

The door unit is equipped with an operating mode switch. The following operating modes can be set:

Off operating mode

The door cannot be opened automatically. Where units have a locking device, the door is mechanically locked. The door can be opened in conjunction with suitable activators via the night/bank function.

Automatic operating mode

The door opens automatically after an activator has been activated. The door closes after the set hold-open time expires.

Permanently open operating mode

The door opens automatically and remains open while this function is active.

Exit operating mode

The door opens automatically after an activator has been activated on the inside. The activators on the outside are not active. The door closes after the set hold-open time expires.

Partial open operating mode

The door opens automatically to the set partial opening width after an activator has been activated. The door closes after the set hold-open time expires.

3.2 Outside and inside detectors

The outside and inside detectors respond to movement. If a person or object enters the detection area of the detectors, the door opens. When the hold-open time expires, the door closes.

3.3 Safety equipment

3.3.1 Main closing edge safety sensors

The area of movement between the open door leaves is monitored by safety sensors. If a person or object enters the detection area of the safety sensors during the closing movement, the door brakes, opens and remains in the open position. When the monitored area is clear again, the door closes after the hold-open time expires. The safety sensors are tested automatically before every closing movement. If the test is negative, the control unit reports the corresponding error and the door no longer closes. The unit must be inspected by a service technician.

3.3.2 Secondary closing edge safety sensors (optional)

The secondary closing edges are monitored by safety sensors. If a person or object enters the detection area of the safety sensors during the opening movement, the door stops. Depending on the door unit setting, the door remains still or continues to move slowly.

3.3.3 Force monitoring

The control unit detects obstacles that are not detected by the safety sensors (e.g. a doormat lying in the area of movement).

3.3.3.1 Force monitoring during the closing movement

If the obstacle is detected during a closing movement, the door opens again. When the hold-open time expires, the door closes. Depending on the setting, the next closure is done slowly. This process is repeated until the obstacle is removed.

3.3.3.2 Force monitoring during the opening movement

If the obstacle is detected during an opening movement, the door stops. The door performs up to 6 opening movements at creep speed. If the obstacle is still present, the door closes. At the next opening impulse, the door opens at creep speed. This process is repeated until the obstacle is removed.

3.4 Automatic adjustment of the hold-open time to the footfall

To protect the drive from overheating, the hold-open time is automatically extended when the door unit experiences high footfall. The hold-open time is automatically reduced to the set value when the footfall drops again.

3.5 Door unit behavior in the event of power failure

Depending on how the operator is equipped, the door behaves as follows in the event of a power failure:

3.5.1 Escape route sliding door

• In Off operating mode:
  • The door remains closed and locked.
  • Depending on the setting, the door can be opened from outside, e.g. via a key switch.
• In Automatic, Partial open and Exit operating modes:
  • The door opens automatically.

3.5.2 Escape route sliding door with FIA locking device

• In Off operating mode:
  • The door remains closed and locked.
  • The door can be opened via the emergency open switch.
  • Depending on the setting, the door can be opened from outside, e.g. via a key switch.
  • Changing the operating mode has no effect.

  Due to the interlock’s increased power consumption, the battery is depleted after max. 1.5–2 hours.

  • The battery is switched off when the voltage falls below 21 V.
  • The door is unlocked.
  • The door leaves can be moved.
• In Automatic, Partial open and Exit operating modes:
  • The door opens automatically.

3.5.3 Standard sliding door without battery pack

The door leaves remain in the current position. Depending on the locking device type installed, the door behaves as follows in the event of a power failure:

• Fail-safe locking device:
  • When the locking device is locked, it is unlocked.
  • The door leaves can be moved manually.
• Fail-secure locking device:
  • The door is locked in every position.
  • The door leaves cannot be moved.
• Standard locking device:
  • The status of the locking device does not change.

3.5.4 Standard sliding door with battery pack

A locked door unit can be opened with a key switch if the battery is charged. Depending on the configured battery mode, the door behaves as follows in the event of a power failure:

3.5.4.1 Emergency open

• In Automatic, Partial open, Exit and Permanently open operating modes:
  • The door opens at creep speed and enters energy-saving mode.
• In OFF operating mode:
  • The door closes at creep speed.
  • If the door is equipped with a locking device, the door locks.
  • The door enters energy-saving mode.

3.5.4.2 Emergency close

• In all operating modes:
  • The door closes at creep speed.
  • If the door is equipped with a locking device, the door locks.
  • The door enters energy-saving mode.

3.5.4.3 Emergency operation

• In Automatic, Partial open, Exit and Permanently open operating modes:
  • The door behaves according to the set operating mode.
  • If the battery voltage drops below 21 V, the door opens and the battery switches off.
• In OFF operating mode:
  • The door remains closed.
  • If the door is equipped with a locking device, the door remains locked.
  • If the battery voltage drops below 21 V, the battery is switched off. The door cannot be opened until power is restored.

3.5.4.4 The battery mode is not set

• The door remains open for a short time. Ongoing movements are not necessarily terminated.

3.6 Door Pilot Interface (option)

The DPI function comprises a Bluetooth low energy module, the Door Pilot Interface and an app for mobile end devices (smartphones): the Door Pilot App. The Door Pilot App allows remote control of the door unit. The Health Check function can also be used to check the current status of the unit. When using the Door Pilot App, an additional lock, e.g. a floor lock, must be mounted on the door.

The customer bears sole responsibility for the safeguarding of access details required to operate the door unit via the Door Pilot Interface. To protect against misuse, it is necessary after installation of the door unit and the Door Pilot Interface to log in using the Door Pilot App and to personalize the user key. If there is to be no operation using the Door Pilot App, the Door Pilot Interface must be deactivated or uninstalled.

For further information, see the terms and conditions (within the Door Pilot App).

3.7 Fire protection function

The fire protection function enables the sliding door to close safely in case of fire. The function is controlled externally, e.g. via fire alarm systems or building management systems. The function is only available for standard doors.

When the fire protection function is triggered, the door closes and is locked.

The door moves at creep speed due to the deactivated sensor system.

The following functions are no longer possible:

• Opening the door via the sensor system
• Change of the operating mode
• Fire brigade functionality
• Panic lock
• Close dead man’s switch
• Open dead man’s switch
• Pharmacy functionality

Opening the door is now only possible via emergency opening or the night/bank impulse.
