2.2 Intended Use

2.2.1 Automatic Door Systems

• The sliding door system is used for the automatic opening and closing of a building passage.
• The sliding door system may only be used in a vertical installation position and in dry rooms within the permitted application area.
• The sliding door system is designed for pedestrian traffic in buildings.

The sliding door system may only be used:

• In the modes of operation provided for by GEZE
• With the components approved / released by GEZE
• With the software delivered by GEZE
• In the installation variants / types of installation documented by GEZE
• Within the tested/approved area of application (climate / temperature / IP rating)

Any other use is considered non-intended and will lead to the exclusion of all liability and warranty claims to GEZE.

• The automatic sliding door system Slimdrive SL-T30 is intended for use in fire protections closer.
• The automatic sliding door system Slimdrive SL-RD is intended for use at smoke protection doors.
• The automatic sliding door systems Slimdrive SL RC2 and Slimdrive SC RC2 are intended for use as burglary-resistant sliding doors with Resistance class 2.
• Only automatic FR and BO (Break-Out) sliding door systems are intended for use in escape and rescue routes.

Important information about doors in escape and rescue routes (FR drives, break-out drives)

• Do not place objects in the passage area.
• Existing protective door leaves/safety leaves on sliding doors must be closed again after cleaning.
• The programme switch for changing the mode of operation on automatic door drives must be secured against activation by unauthorised persons.
• When using a key operated programme switch, the key must be removed after changing the mode of operation.
• The door may only be locked by authorised persons.

2.2.2 FR Drives

The automatic FR sliding doors are equipped with components which allow them to be used as escape and rescue doors.

Redundant drive design (2 motors)

If the power supply fails (e.g. power failure), the sliding doors are opened with a battery (not in the “Night/Locked” mode of operation).

Switching over to safe mode

If a fault which could impede the automatic opening of the sliding door is detected in the drive, the door leaves are opened.

Deactivation of the escape and rescue route function

• By switching to the “Night/Locked” mode of operation, the sliding door is no longer available as an escape and rescue route.
• The “Night/Locked” mode of operation is not a defined mode of operation according to the guidelines on automatic sliding doors in escape and rescue routes (AutSchR).
• Only authorised persons may change the mode of operation with the key push button at the programme switch following authorisation (for example via the key switch).
• Switching to “Night/Locked” may only occur if the emergency exit route is no longer used, i.e. people are no longer in the building or an escape and rescue chart indicates other emergency exit routes for this time period.

Reduced opening width

To teach-in a reduced opening size, the operator must submit the escape route width specified for the escape route in writing. Only when this document has been submitted is it permitted to teach-in a reduced opening width. The set reduced opening width must be at least as large as the required escape path width. A copy of the document must be included with the service or test log. The reduced opening width may not be less than 30 % of the full opening width. The control cannot learn a smaller reduced position.

Product version FR-DUO

Two emergency exit directions possible.

Product version FR-LL

The door is locked in the “Shop closing time” mode of operation so that opening from the outside is prevented.

Product version FR-RWS (RWS = emergency exit system)

Additional mode of operation – similar to “Night/Locked”, but with a lock that ensures a fail-safe escape route function. Opening is enabled by means of a required emergency stop switch.

2.2.3 Break-out Drives

The door leaves and side panels can be broken out in the “Automatic”, “Hold open” and “Shop closing time” modes of operation in the direction of emergency exit.

2.2.4 RC2 Drives

The burglar-resistant function RC2 is only enabled in the “Night/Locked” mode of operation. When the door is operated in “Night/Locked” mode of operation, the rescue route function is deactivated.
