Section 13.0 - Daily Safety Checklist
The best time to perform a Daily Safety Check is early in the morning while pedestrian traffic
is still restricted from Sensor activating zones. The purpose of a Daily Sensor Check is to ensure
pedestrian safety and Owner protection.
If the Swing Door will not be used for at least 1 month, it is recommended to
turn power OFF to the Unit.
In order to guarantee reliability of the installation, any components showing
signs of wear must be replaced as a preventative measure.
If a Sensor is not working, the door may swing towards you without stopping.
ATTENTION: In the event any type of object needs to be removed from the Sensor Safety
Zone (vicinity), the Sensor must "relearn" the zone before resuming normal operations.
Relearn may take a 1-2 minutes.
1. Ensure the Power Breaker is switched ON. Do not switch Power Breaker On and OFF too
quickly.
2. Ensure the (On/Off/Hold Open) Rocker switch is set to "ON."
3. Activate the Swing Door.
Door should open at a slow, smooth pace (4 or more seconds), and stop without impact.
Door must remain fully open for a minimum of (5 seconds) before beginning to close.
Door should close at a slow, smooth pace (4 or more seconds), and stop without impact.
4. Inspect the floor area. It should be clean with no loose parts that might cause user to trip
or fall. Keep traffic path clear.
5. Inspect door's overall condition. The appropriate signage should be present and the
hardware should be in good condition.
6. Remove anything that does not belong in the path of the Swing door. There should be
no bulletin boards, literature racks, merchandise displays, or other attractions in the door
area that would interfere with use of the door or invite people to stop or stand in the door
area.
7. Ensure the Header Cover and all other hardware is properly secured.
8. Check for damaged or missing weather stripping.
9. If Equipped: Test Emergency Break Out. In Break Out mode, the door must not activate.
Call your supplier for details.

certified inspector.
Always follow the safety sensor devise manufacturer's detailed installation, commissioning, and testing instructions.
