ANSI/BHMA and UL Compliance Requirements for Sliding Doors
(Sheet 1 of 3)
Final adjustment and proper operaon of the door system must be and shall be performed in the eld.
NOTE: These instrucons are for informaonal purposes and do not substute for review against the current 
revision of the referenced standards. Where a requirement exists in mulple standards, such as the ANSI/BHMA 
standard and the UL standard, the more restricve condion applies. Other local codes and re codes likely exist, 
and must also be followed.
ANSI/BHMA A156.10 Sliding Door Systems
Sliding door systems must be installed and adjusted for compliance with the current version of ANSI/BHMA 
A156.10, “American Naonal Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors”.
Crical aspects of the installaon for compliance with ANSI/BHMA A156.10 include:
•  Control mat size, layout, molding height, acve areas and sensivity.
•  Sensor paern size, sensivity, and funcon.
•  Knowing Act guidelines and secondary acvang zone.
•  Entrapment protecon rules including door speeds, forces, and me delays.
•  Signage. (Decals and applicaon instrucons are provided with the door system.) 
 
NOTE: For Procare and Duracare series Automac series refer to the current version of ANSI/BHMA A156.38.
UL 325 Compliance
All power operated door systems must be installed in compliance with the current edion of UL 325, “Standard for 
Safety for Door, Drapery, Gate, Louver, and Window Operators and Systems”.
     Wiring
1.  To reduce the risk of electric shock proper and reliable grounding is mandatory. See Main Power Wiring instruc-
ons and Wiring Diagrams in this guide for grounding techniques.
2.  Permanent wiring is to be employed as required by the Naonal Electrical Code and/or local codes.
3.  Connecon of external devices is shown in the wiring diagrams and terminal block layouts elsewhere in this 
guide. Refer to these gures for proper wiring of external devices to ensure compliance with UL 325.
     Knowing Act
Doors acvated by a manual switch (Knowing Act switch in ANSI/BHMA terms) must have the switch installed 
in a locaon from which operaon of the door can be observed by the person operang the switch and not 
located in a positon where the user would be in the path of the moving door.
