Safety and Security Features
The Dorma ESA II incorporates crucial safety mechanisms, including obstruction detection and force limitation, preventing injuries. Emergency stop mechanisms ensure immediate door halt if needed.
Obstruction Detection and Force Limitation
The Dorma ESA II incorporates advanced safety features designed to protect users and prevent accidents. The system utilizes sophisticated obstruction detection sensors to monitor the door’s path. If an obstruction is detected during operation, the door immediately reverses its movement, ensuring a safe and controlled stop. This crucial safety feature helps prevent collisions and potential injuries caused by contact with the moving door. Furthermore, the force limitation mechanism in the Dorma ESA II actively monitors and restricts the force exerted by the door’s motor. This prevents excessive pressure, safeguarding users from being pinched or trapped, particularly children or individuals with reduced mobility. The combination of these safety features ensures a highly secure and reliable automatic door operation.
Emergency Stop Mechanisms
The Dorma ESA II system prioritizes safety and includes multiple emergency stop mechanisms for immediate door halting. A readily accessible emergency stop button is strategically positioned for quick access during emergencies. Activating this button instantly cuts power to the door operator, bringing the door to a complete standstill regardless of its operational state. In addition to the manual emergency stop, the system incorporates automatic safety features. These include obstruction detection sensors that automatically halt the door upon detecting an obstacle in its path. This dual approach ensures reliable emergency stopping capabilities, providing multiple layers of protection and minimizing the risk of accidents. Understanding and knowing the location of these mechanisms is vital for safe and responsible operation of the Dorma ESA II automatic door system.
