8.1 Additional Components: Sensor(s) / Knowing Act Devices
Safety Sensors
The control board can accommodate overhead and door mounted safety sensors. To permit safe passage through, the
closing door will reverse (if equipped with door mounted safety sensor) to full open position, if an obstruction is encountered
during the closing phase. If equipped with door monitor sensor, the operator will then resume its standard closing cycle and
repeat when the obstruction remains.
• If equipped, the safety sensor on the closing side of the door will activate while the door is closing. The door will reverse
to open.
• If equipped, the safety sensor on the opening side of the door is activated by another pedestrian while the door is
opening, the door will stall until that pedestrian has left the opening area.
• If the door is equipped with an overhead safety sensor, the door will not open when there is an obstruction or pedestrian
in the swing path.
• If the door is equipped with an overhead presence sensor in the closed position, the door will not open when there is an
obstruction or pedestrian in the swing path.
Jamb mounted switches
It can be used but are not practical for individuals using a wheelchair because of their range of motion (positioning their
wheelchair to clear the door opening). (See Section 1.5) In a vestibule entrance a switch must be installed in the vestibule
space to prevent entrapment and the doors can be sequenced to ease the traffic flow and limit the time of both doors
being open to outside weather conditions.
Push Plate or Knowing Act Devices
• Test the knowing act device. The door should swing smoothly to the open position and stop without impact. After a time
delay (normally 1s to 5s) the door should close smoothly.
• Repeat on the other side of the opening if the door has two-way operation.
• If there is more than one push plate or Knowing Act Device on each side of the door, each should be tested.
