1) Purpose
Purpose of this document is to describe the operation of the Underground Roll-up PVC Ventilation
Door for the control of air flow underground.
2) Operation Limitations
Underground Roll-up PVC Ventilation Door Unit installed close to any blasting condition, it is
recommended that the doors must be fully opened when blasting take place and then be closed
directly after blast.
This will prevent any damage due to concussion and shock loads.

3) Door Assembly
➢ Door frame manufactured Channel - 230 x 90 x 32.2 kg/m
➢ Top box section for drive assembly manufactured from 4,0 mm plate.
➢ Drive shaft fitted with bearings fixed to Cast Iron ACME Machined Shaft, Coupling & Nut.
❖ Depending on the system used by the mine fitted to underground vehicles / CAS &
PDS, a system is supplied that will connect to the door control system.
❖ When vehicle approach the door, the door system will pick-up the signal from the
vehicle within 8-10 meters (this can be set as per mine requirements) of the door and
the first door will start to open if there is not another vehicle approach through the
other door.
b) Pull switch option with pull switches fitted to hang wall 10 meters from door on both
sides of door and both sides of roadway.

❖ Use of a traffic light system assists with regulating traffic and notifying fellow drivers,
that would like to enter the system, of vehicles currently in the system.
❖ System is based on priority levels that will allow access to the vehicle of the highest
priority. In the case of similar priorities, the door system will work on the first in - first
out principle.
❖ Indication lights are on each side of the door. The second vehicle needs to be forced
into a stop state until the current vehicle exits the system.
❖ Ventilation doors are mounted on steel frames, with the rest of the haulage closed with
concrete. On the side, there is a pedestrian walkway, equipped with a sealed turnstile.
❖ Door height is about 2 m and it takes an average of 20 seconds to open and close
respectively.
❖ Interlocked 2-door shares a centralized UPS and Electrical panel with a single mobile
controller, with network capabilities allowing remote access to the door status and
control from the surface.
❖ Controller is used to enable the system to be bypassed by a digital key provided by the
responsible person. Thus, the digital key allows the user to operate the door manually
by push buttons and rope switches.
❖ Each door is equipped with a field bus station collecting the door status from the limit
switches on either side of the door and a safety light curtain to prevent the door from
pinching equipment or possible pedestrians.
❖ Single-phase motor used for operating the door is controlled by a variable speed drive,
minimizing the inrush current and controlling the speed of the motor.
❖ It is important that a VSD is used, as the UPS system is not designed to accommodate
the inrush current as per motor specifications.
❖ Control panel of the door is to be placed at the point where it is most accessible.
❖ On each side of the door, closest to the pedestrian walkway, a switch box containing
an emergency stop and two push buttons is to be placed.
❖ Emergency button is to be always available, whereas the push buttons are only to be
used when maintenance/bypassing or repairs are to be done.

Solution consists of a centralized controller with a Fieldbus module at each door. Each door is
equipped with a control panel containing a variable speed drive and the necessary motor protection
as specified by the supplier. The system is powered by a three-phase 525V AC source, converted to
a single-phase supply of 230V AC in the main electrical panel with the necessary MCB’s and shunt
trips for emergency purposes. Therefore the system includes:

1. Release the brakes that the curtain is standing halfway in closed position, then, tighten
the brakes.
2. Emergency stop buttons must be unlocked (turn clockwise and release)
3. Then press the green button so that the door will open upwards.
4. Door Opening and Closing
a) When the door is opening and the ACME Nut bypass the Limit Switch, then the main
feed connection is wrong.
b) But, when the ACME Nut touches the Limit Switch and door stops, then the
connection is correct.
c) When the door closes and the Curtain is level with the floor, then Limit Switch is
rightly connected.
d) When the Curtain is not touching the floor, the Limit Switches must be adjusted.
e) When the door is closing, and you press the Emergency Stop Button, the door will
stop. When releasing the stop button, and then the press the green button, the door
will go up. But, if the door closes, then the connection on the motor is wrong.
5. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not adjust anything in the Electrical Panel, otherwise it
will override the connection, and nothing will work.
6. The third Limit Switch in the Canopy acts as an emergency stop. i.e., when the opening
Limit Switch has failed, the third Limit Switch will stop the door.
7. Check all Pull Switches (4 off) if they are working.
8. Robot Lights
a) When the door is opened, the light is Green. When it starts to close, it turns Red.
b) No one or no vehicle is allowed to pass through the door.
c) Once the door is closed, the light stays Red.
d) When the door is opening or closing, then an alarm will be buzzing.
Note
Door commissioning (Mechanical & Electrics) must be done by UVSS and signed off.
