2.2 EQUIPMENT

A. Ready-Fold package consists of Swingmaster 900 overhead concealed operator, electronic control, wire harnesses, connecting hardware, aluminum frames, door pivot system, door panel carriers, exterior on/off key switch, activation device (see Section 2.4) and presence device (see Section 2.4). Package also available with a surface mounted operator. Ready-Fold is available in 2-door panel and 4-door panel configurations. In-fold or out-fold configurations are available.

2.3 AUTOMATIC SWING DOOR OPERATOR

A. Operator: Ready-Fold package is powered by an electro-mechanical operator, with a 1/4 hp motor. Completely assembled and sealed unit includes helical gear drive transmission and interconnected rack and pinion system for compression of exterior replaceable light duty spiral compression spring, all contained within a die cast aluminum housing and filled with special lubricant for extreme temperature conditions. Drive shaft is minimum 15/16" (24mm) thick containing 14 tooth splines to maximize bearing surface contact with drive arm assembly and eliminate slippage and door latch drifting. Interfaced with the transmission system is a DC permanent magnet motor with sealed ball bearings and external replaceable brushes. Operator is mounted in the aluminum header case housing using vibration isolators to maintain quiet operation. B. Operator Housing: Non-handed operator is completely contained in a 6" (152mm) wide x 6" (152mm) high extruded aluminum housing. All aluminum sections are 6063-T5 alloy and have a minimum thickness of .156" (4mm). The operator housing provides a seal against dust, dirt and moisture. C. Electonic Controls: A self-contained, solid-state integrated circuit controls the operations and

Ready-Fold Automatic Bi-Folding Door 08460 - 3 switching of the swing power operator. The electronic control provides low voltage power supply for all means of actuation. No external or auxiliary low voltage power source will be allowed. The control includes adjustable time delay (1 to 60 seconds) for normal cycle. Control unit must also include wake up protection for power outages and panic breakaway. The Swingmaster 900 CU2 control also has the following built in features: 1. Torque limiting for controlled forces on opening. 2. Acceleration control for smooth starts and recycle. 3. Special circuitry for reducing power to the motor when door is in HOLD-OPEN mode, extending longevity and assuring reliability. 4. Ramp down control for backcheck 5. Plug-N-Play ready to reduce mis-wiring and labor 6. Ribbon Harness for plug-n-play interface with CUHub and sensors. No screw lug terminals or wire nut connections will be accepted. E. Connecting Hardware: Overhead concealed operator is connected to the door by means of an electroplated case hardened steel door arm. The door arm is secured to the top rail of the swing door using aluminum biting 6mm nuts in the top channel of the door horizontal rail with 6mm socket head bolts. The door arm is broached for positive engagement with the splined drive shaft and requires no additional linkage. F. Power Open: The automatic door operator powers the door open by forces transmitted mechanically to the drive shaft and maintains a constant engagement throughout the opening cycle. The operator is designed to counteract most exterior wind conditions and/or interior stack pressure without the need of additional power assist mechanisms. The automatic door system provides emergency egress in the event of a power failure. The automatic door system is electro-mechanical in design requiring no remote pumps or compressors. G. Spring Close: Automatic door operator is spring closed. Spring is designed to counteract most wind conditions and return the door to full close. Closing forces are regulated by utilizing the motor and gear assembly as a dynamic brake. Spring is compression type to ensure longevity. Clock type torsion springs will not be allowed. H. Emergency Breakaway: Ready-Fold bi-fold package includes a breakaway feature which allows the door panels to swing out in the direction of egress with forces that comply with current ANSI/BHMA 156.10 American National Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors. Outfold versions are equipped with a magnetic latch which allows the doors to return to the full closed position and reset automatically. Infold doors are equipped with a ballcatch assembly. The doors must be manually returned to the full closed position.

2.4 SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR APPROACH AND SAFETY MOTION SENSOR CONTROL DEVICE – select one of the following:

A. Actuation and safety devices are as indicated on door schedule and specified herein. Controls cause door to open instantly when device(s) located on approach side of door is actuated; hold door in open position, and cause door to close - unless safety device or re-actuation of opening impulse overrides such operation. 1. Sensor which causes door to open instantly when device(s) located on approach side of door is actuated; activate time delay per applicable code, and allow the door to close - unless safety device or reactuation of opening impulse overrides such operation. (See expanded specification under Section I -- Actuators and Controls) 2. Overhead presence sensor with mounting blocks to be mounted on fold side of the package. (See expanded specification under Section I – Actuators and Controls)
