PART 2 - PRODUCTS

 

2.01       MANUFACTURER

A. Series 6100 Electromechanical low energy swing door operator as detailed shall be supplied by record-usa, Monroe, N.C.

 

2.02        MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT:

 

A.   Unit must be non-handed, and able to operate as an in-swing or out-swing unit with simple field modifications.

 

B.   The unit must be factory assembled, adjusted and tested.

C.                           The door operating equipment must use the electro-mechanical 6100 series drive system utilizing a dc motor and helical gears for quiet operation.  The gear box shall use an adjustable compression spring engineered for maximum life.  No electro-hydraulic equipment shall be allowed.

 

D.   All equipment must meet the requirements of the American National Standard for Low Energy Power Operated Doors, ANSI/BHMA A156.19-2002.

E.   The system must be capable of operating between -40oF (-40oC) and 140oF (60oC).

F.   Door closing shall be by spring force and monitored by the microprocessor control, capable of providing limited power assist to insure the door closes.

 

G.  The operator header shall be 5" (127 mm) deep by 4-1/2" (114 mm) high, by the width of the door panel(s) plus 3” (76 mm).

 

H.   Door activating controls shall be by push plates.  All controls shall be hard wired using standard 4x4 handicap push plates on the exterior or swing side and on the interior or approach side.  On some existing conditions, radio controls may be accepted.

 

2.03        FINISH

A.   The header shall be anodized aluminum in CL 204R1 clear aluminum finish to match framing. (DB 313R1 dark bronze aluminum finish where entrance framing bronze).
Any exposed conduit shall match header in color.

2.04                                         FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND MARKINGS

A.   The equipment must be designed to handle swing doors up to a weight of 175 lbs. (79.4 kg).

B.   Opening speed:

1.       Opening speed to fully open shall be adjusted as required in ANSI/BHMA A.156.19-2002 for low energy doors.

C.   Hold open:

1.       The door shall be field adjusted to remain fully open for not less than 5 seconds.

D.   Closing speed:

1.          Doors shall be field adjusted to close from 90o to 10o as required in ANSI/BHMA A156.19-2002 dependent upon final door weight.

2.          Doors shall close from 10o to fully closed in not less than 1.5 seconds.

 

E.      The force required to prevent a stopped door from opening in the last 10º of opening, or at any point in closing shall not exceed 15 lbs. (67 N) applied 1" (25 mm) from the latch edge of the door.

F.      In the event of a power failure, doors shall open with a manual pressure not to exceed 15 lbs. (67 N) at a point 1" (25 mm) from the latch edge of the door.
