3.5.1 Reversing and stopping mechanism
If the sliding wings meet an obstacle during the closing process, the drive unit immediate-
lystopsandreopensthewings.Forreasonsofpersonalsafety,thenextclosingattempt
is performed after 3 seconds with reduced speed from the point where the obstacle had
been detected.
If the door touches an obstacle during the opening procedure, it is immediately stopped.
Forreasonsofpersonalsafety,thenextopeningattemptisperformedwithreduced
speed from the point where the obstacle had been detected.
3.5.2 Limitation of the force
The static driving power is limited to 150 N.
If the sliding wings are not protected by means of a fan-beam feeler/a protection wing
(depending of risk evaluation, directives, prescriptions), this protection is achieved by a
limitation of the dynamic forces of the sliding wing.
