FAQ

Q1. Is this operator truly compatible with Dorma ESA200 “dorma doors”?
A. Yes. The design and control philosophy mirror the ESA200 family, including profile heights, mounting geometry, and controller logic. The modular BM/FM architecture, DCW bus, and program modes align with the ESA200 platform used across dormakaba sliding door installations (dormakaba, 2016; dormakaba, 2019).

Q2. What motor is inside—and why choose the Dunkermotoren GR 63×55?
A. The GR 63×55 brushed DC motor is the proven workhorse used in numerous ESA200 drives. It delivers a compact footprint with ~95 W nominal output and ~3350 rpm nominal speed—an ideal balance for smooth acceleration, reliable braking, and long duty life in commercial entrances (Dunkermotoren, n.d.).

Q3. What door sizes and weights can the system handle?
A. ESA200 capabilities vary by configuration. Typical published limits include up to 1 × 200 kg single leaf or 2 × 160 kg bi-parting. Confirm the glazing, hardware, and header height when selecting your exact profile (dormakaba, 2019; dormakaba, 2016).

Q4. What operating modes are available from the program switch?
A. Standard modes include Off, Automatic, Permanent Open, Partial/Half Open, and Exit Only. Night/Bank and additional logic are enabled in the controller to fit building schedules and security routines (dormakaba, 2013; dormakaba, 2016).

Q5. Does the operator meet current safety guidelines for automatic doors?
A. The ESA200 family is designed and tested against DIN 18650 / EN 16005 requirements for automatic sliding doors when installed with compliant sensors and safety edges. Always use approved safety devices and commissioning procedures (dormakaba, 2024).

Q6. How does the modular BM/FM design help my maintenance budget?
A. The Basic Module covers core functions; the Function Module adds options like door status contacts, edge protection, airlock, pharmacy, and synchronous operation. This upgrade-by-module approach reduces parts inventory and limits downtime (dormakaba, 2016).

Q7. What happens during a power failure?
A. With the optional rechargeable battery pack fitted, the controller performs an emergency cycle (open or close depending on the configured fail-safe policy) to preserve egress and security (dormakaba, 2016).

Q8. Can I retain my existing glass, profiles, and sensors when replacing an older ESA200?
A. In most professional retrofits, yes. The consistent 100/150 mm header formats, DCW bus, and standard sensor interfaces allow many assets—profiles, locks, safety beams—to be reused. Verification on site is essential for legacy combinations (dormakaba, 2016).

Product Description

Engineered for high-traffic buildings that demand uptime, the ESA200 Sliding Door Operator (Dunker Brushed Motor) pairs a robust mechanical platform with the Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 drive to deliver quiet, precise motion through millions of cycles. If you manage dormakaba sliding door assets across retail, healthcare, transit, or corporate campuses, this operator is a direct fit for the dorma es200 ecosystem and a proven path to lower lifecycle costs (dormakaba, 2016; Dunkermotoren, n.d.).

Drive Power that Feels Effortless

At the heart of the system is the GR 63×55 brushed DC motor, a compact, service-friendly unit tuned for smooth acceleration and deceleration. Its nominal output near 95 W and ~3350 rpm speed keep door motion linear and predictable—even with pressure differentials, stack effect, or changing seasonal conditions (Dunkermotoren, n.d.). The motor’s industrial lineage shows in the consistent torque curve and thermal behavior, translating to quiet starts, clean stops, and fewer nuisance reversals.

A Header that Installs Fast and Maintains Even Faster

Available in 100 mm and 150 mm header profiles with roughly 180 mm installation depth, the system leverages a full-width mounting plate and prefabricated MiniDriveUnit for quick, repeatable installs. Service access is straightforward, and critical adjustments—belt tension, trolley alignment, and end-stop positioning—are all accessible without dismantling the entire header (dormakaba, 2013; dormakaba, 2016).

Controller Intelligence That Scales with Your Site

The modular controller structure separates core logic (BM) from add-ons (FM), so you can start lean and scale features as the building evolves. The integrated DCW bus simplifies sensor/activator integration and reduces wiring errors. Parameterization from the built-in display means field techs can fine-tune open and close speeds (10–70 cm/s and 10–50 cm/s respectively), hold-open times, and special functions without a laptop. Outcomes are predictable: smooth traffic flow all day, secure closing after hours (dormakaba, 2016).

Safety and Compliance Built-In

When paired with compliant sensors and edge protection, ESA200 platforms are tested to DIN 18650 / EN 16005, the prevailing European frameworks for automated sliding entrances (dormakaba, 2024;). The optional emergency battery pack supports egress during power loss and maintains secure locking where required—vital for pharmacies, banking, and healthcare environments (dormakaba, 2016).

Performance Envelope for Real-World dorma doors

Depending on regional specification and glazing, the ESA200 family accommodates generous clear openings and substantial panel weights—documented up to 1 × 200 kg single and 2 × 160 kg bi-parting. Speeds are incrementally adjustable to tune user comfort and throughput, while Night/Bank, Exit-Only, and Partial/Half-Open modes adapt the entrance to traffic patterns and energy-saving strategies (dormakaba, 2019; dormakaba, 2016; dormakaba, 2013).

What Professionals Appreciate Most

• Interchangeability: Header heights, mounting geometry, and DCW bus compatibility mean upgrades or replacements fit neatly where older dorma es200 operators lived (dormakaba, 2016).

• Predictable Commissioning: On-board display and parameter sets mirror standard ES-series workflows, shortening the learning curve for technicians (dormakaba, 2016).

• Quiet, Clean Motion: The combination of Dunker drive quality and ES-series mechanics yields low vibration and low acoustic signature—essential in lobbies, clinics, and hospitality (Dunkermotoren, n.d.; dormakaba, 2016).

• Lower Lifecycle Cost: Module-based upgrades, durable mechanics, and standardized accessories keep inventory small and downtime minimal across large estates (dormakaba, 2016).
