The GEZE Slimdrive SC/SCR, Slimdrive SLT, Slimdrive SL, and EC Drive/Powerdrive are automatic sliding door operators designed for pedestrian use. This manual outlines their operation, safety, and maintenance procedures.
These devices are automatic sliding door drives that facilitate the opening and closing of various types of doors. They are suitable for glass doors (single or double glazed) and doors with timber, metal, or aluminum frames. The core function is to provide automated access, enhancing convenience and managing traffic flow in various environments.
The drive system incorporates a low-wear, high-capacity DC motor and an extremely quiet, enclosed running gear. Power transmission is achieved via toothed belts with precision bearings, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. A self-learning processor control system continuously monitors and adapts to the door's environment. Permanent position sensing of the door leaves is managed by a non-contact distance measuring system, which allows for precise control of door movement. The system can also determine the door leaf weight using an acceleration meter, further optimizing its performance.
Key operational features include an adjustable hold-open time, allowing the door to remain open for a specified duration (typically 1 to 5 seconds). Automatic error detection is built into the system, with error indications displayed on the program switch and an audible signal in case of a fault. Both opening and closing speeds are individually adjustable, and the system automatically adjusts the opening time based on traffic patterns.
For enhanced safety, the doors feature an automatic reversing function with adjustable reversing pressure. If the door encounters an obstacle during closure, it will automatically reopen. An emergency opening function is provided via an integrated battery backup in case of power failure, ensuring egress. An integrated mains isolator is also included for safety during maintenance. The closing force is limited to less than 150 N to prevent injury.
Optional features include a connection to a fire alarm system, allowing the doors to respond appropriately during an emergency. Electro-magnetic locking can be integrated to secure the door leaves against forced entry.
The door's operation is managed through a program switch, which allows users to select different modes of operation, view error messages, and perform programming and service functions.
It is crucial to ensure that any manual locks fitted to the door leaf are UNLOCKED before switching the drive unit into any operational mode. Additionally, the drive unit should be switched to NIGHT MODE before manually locking the door.
In the event of a power failure, the door's behavior depends on the presence of a battery and the selected mode. If a battery is present, the door will typically open unless in Night mode. If the battery is discharged or not present, the door must be unlocked and opened/closed manually. After power is restored, the door automatically returns to its previously selected operating state, or to "Night" mode if it was locked.
If a fire alarm is activated (and the system is fitted with this option), doors in "Automatic" setting will power open and remain fully open until the alarm is reset. Doors in "Night" position will remain closed/locked to maintain security.
Regular maintenance is essential for the continued safe and efficient operation of the GEZE automatic sliding doors. The manual strongly advises implementing a preventative maintenance program in line with BS 7036: Safety at Powered Doors for Pedestrian Use, with servicing carried out by an authorized technician.
The occupier is responsible for undertaking weekly safety tests, or more frequently in high-traffic areas, as per BS 7036: Part 2: 1996 (Annexes).
If any fault affecting safe operation is found, the door operating equipment should be switched off and made safe. Use of the door should not be reinstated until an authorized technician has completed repairs.
A service indicator LED will illuminate when an annual service is required. GEZE provides comprehensive 24-hour nationwide service and offers service contracts based on the recommendation of servicing powered doors twice per year.
