Do you have a question about the Record DFA 70 and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

The record DFA 70 is a compact, self-monitoring, microprocessor-controlled swing door operator designed for a wide application spectrum. It is suitable for various door movement control scenarios, including automatic, continuously open, and manual operation. The operator continuously evaluates the current door position, speed, and the target position at every instant to precisely calculate the optimum motion. This ensures smooth and efficient door operation, preventing abrupt stops and excessive speeds. Depending on the door width, the corresponding spring range must be selected in the range of EN 4 to EN 6 (according to European standard EN 1154), which also allows for increased use of a redundant force limitation for safety.

Technical Specifications

The DFA 70 has dimensions of 900 x 70 x 127 mm (W x H x D). It operates on a voltage of 110 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with a power consumption of 13 W (nominal) and 67 W (maximum). The maximum torque is 65 Nm, and the maximum mass inertia of the door leaf is 65 kgm². The opening angle is adjustable from 70° to 115°. The hold-open time is adjustable from 0 to 60 seconds (in 40 steps), the opening speed from 3 to 20 seconds (in 40 steps), and the closing speed from 5 to 20 seconds (in 40 steps). The noise level is less than 45 dB, and the protection class is IP20. It operates within a temperature range of -15 to +50°C and a humidity range of up to 85% relative humidity, non-condensing. The maximum door leaf weight is 65 kgm².

Usage Features

The DFA 70 offers various operating modes, including:

  • Automatic: The door opens and closes automatically, either by an activated release device or by tapping the door when the automatic jog function is switched on.
  • Continuously open: The door opens and remains in the open position. If an obstacle is in the way during opening, the DFA 70 tries five more times within a few seconds to bring the door to the target "Open" position. If the obstacle remains, the current position is temporarily adopted as the permanently open position (fault 9 Open unsuccessful is displayed).
  • Manual operation: In this mode, the DFA functions like a mechanical door closer. The door can be opened easily by hand and closed again independently. The behavior of the connected release and safety devices is determined by the configuration.

The operator can be configured using the electronic controller BDE-D, which provides an intuitive operation and navigation through its operator-friendly menu. The LCD with backlight shows data and information about the door status with symbols and text messages. The system also supports a mechanical BDI (toggle switch) with three selectable operating modes: Locked, One-Way, Continuously Open, Manual, and Automatic. The priority and code of the following table apply, where BDE1 (S1) and BDE2 (S2) represent the two STG input terminals (J7/1 + J7/2, print BDE-M) for the mechanical BDE:

  • L = Interruption or 0V, H = +24V.
  • BDE2 (S2) L, BDE1 (S1) H: Function Locked, Priority 1.
  • BDE2 (S2) L, BDE1 (S1) L: Function One-Way, Priority 2.
  • BDE2 (S2) H, BDE1 (S1) H: Function Continuously Open, Priority 3.
  • BDE2 (S2) H, BDE1 (S1) L: Function Manual, Priority 4.
  • BDE2 (S2) L, BDE1 (S1) L (if BDE-D indicates current operating mode): Function Automatic, Priority 5.

The system includes a reset button, which, when pressed for at least 5 seconds, generates a control unit reset. Status indication is provided, with a fault indicated if no fault is present, and blinks if a fault is present (see chapter Status and fault signals BDE-D).

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance and servicing are crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the DFA 70. Specific checks and maintenance may only be carried out by a specialist or a person trained for this purpose. The authorization of these persons is carried out exclusively by the manufacturer. The scope, result, and time of the periodic inspections and maintenance must be recorded in an inspection book and a checklist. These documents must be kept by the operator.

Testing:

  • Visual inspection: Check door leaves, guides, bearings, limiting devices, sensors, and the securing of crushing and shearing points for damage.
  • Mechanical inspection: Check fastenings for tight fit.
  • Safety check (exit and escape routes): Check sensors, safety devices, and monitoring devices for tight fit and damage.
  • Function testing: Check functioning of switches, operators, controllers, power or energy storage devices, and sensors. Also check the adjustment of the safety devices and the setting of all movement sequences including the end points.

Servicing:

  • Adjustment and cleaning: Clean and adjust bearings, sliding points, and power transmission.
  • For documentation and information purposes, the testing and servicing work, as well as the condition of the system, are recorded in a test log book. The test log book must be kept for at least one year or until the next testing/servicing.
  • The testing and/or servicing interval according to the manufacturer's specification is at least 1 to 2 times a year.

Door care: The entire system, including the sensors and safety devices, can be cleaned with a moist cloth and standard commercial cleaners (non-scouring, do not use any solvents). First test the cleaners on a hidden (not easily visible) place. Keep all guides free of dirt.

Maintenance and regular inspection: A safety inspection must be carried out before initial start-up and as required, as well as in accordance with the applicable regulations – but at least twice a year. We recommend having maintenance carried out at the same time. A safety-related inspection must be performed by a competent service technician or an authorized partner. Maintenance due is displayed on the BDE-D operating unit if this function has been activated. The interval for the output of the message is defined by the number of opening cycles and/or after a certain operating time has elapsed. Regular inspection and maintenance of the equipment by trained personnel, authorized by the manufacturer, provides the best guarantee for a long service life and trouble-free safe operation. We recommend concluding a service agreement with the service center responsible for your area.

Logbook: The logbook serves only as a template. According to local regulations, such a logbook must be attached to the door installation, and all interventions and recurrent controls must be recorded in it.

Spare parts and wearing parts: The design of the system, not all spare parts and wearing parts are listed.

  • Slide shoe: 3 years
  • Lever socket: 3 years
  • Ball joint axle: If wear is detected
  • Support ring for lever socket: If wear is detected
  • Mounting set for stop: If wear is detected
  • Cable transmission: If wear is detected
  • Pushing flap (only for fire doors): If wear is detected
  • Operator unit ATG: If wear is detected
  • Power supply unit NET: In the event of breakdown
  • Control device STG: In the event of breakdown
  • Control panel BDE: In the event of breakdown

Decommissioning and dismantling: When shutting down or taking out of service, the system is disconnected from the mains supply and any existing battery is unplugged. After each temporary shutdown, a new commissioning must be carried out. All machine parts must be sorted by type of material and disposed of according to local regulations and guidelines. The door systems can be completely disassembled in reverse order.
