4.3 Short description

S-series high-speed spiral doors are door systems for industrial
and commercial purposes. A door system is a machine which is
used to open and close different types of building openings or as a
safe access route for goods and vehicles, accompanied or driven
(controlled) by personnel.
The control unit (Fig. 6/1) is used to move the door leaf (Fig. 6/5)
upwards and roll it up in the hanging box (Fig. 6/3) (or in the case
of the "low drop" version, guide it along the ceiling). The door leaf
can be closed again manually or closes again after a preset "keep-
open" time. Optional command devices (Fig. 6/4, see also
Ä Chapter 4.5.2 ‘Manual command devices’ on page 26) can be
used to open up the door leaf or prevent the automatic closing pro-
cedure if it is approached.
4.4 Operating modes

The system can be operated in the following operating modes:
n Automatic mode
n Manual mode

Operating modes > Automatic mode
4.4.1 Automatic mode

In automatic mode the door is opened and closed by an operating
control (Ä Chapter 4.5 ‘Operating controls and display elements’
on page 24) after a preset "keep-open" time. It can also be closed
by manually actuating a command device.
The "keep-open" time determines the time which elapses before
the opened door closes again. The time is counted from the point
when the door reaches the end position and is shown on the con-
trol unit's display screen (Ä ‘Display screen’ on page 24).
Depending on the version of the door system, up to three different
"keep-open" times can be defined:
n Minimum "keep-open" time,
n "Keep-open" time,
n "Keep-open" time for intermediate stop.
Minimum "keep-open" time The minimum "keep-open" time starts as soon as there is no
longer an active command for opening. If there is no active com-
mand for opening once the minimum "keep-open" time has
elapsed, the door is closed.
The minimum "keep-open" time cannot be set by operating staff.
Contact the customer service department if you wish to change the
minimum "keep-open" time (Ä Chapter 1.5 ‘Customer service’
on page 7).
"Keep-open" time The "keep-open" time starts as soon as there is no longer an active
command for opening. If there is no active command for opening
once the "keep-open" time has elapsed, the door is closed.
To set the "keep-open" time Ä Chapter 7.9 ‘Calling up/changing
parameters’ on page 44.
"Keep-open" time for intermediate The intermediate stop function can be used to open the door to a
stop programmable height (at least 2.5 m) instead of opening it all the
way. The control unit can be set so that different command devices
can be used at the same time for intermediate stop and complete
opening.
How the command devices work:
n Command devices for intermediate stop open the door to the
intermediate stop end position,
n Command devices for intermediate stop can optionally be actu-
ated twice to open the door to the upper end position,
n Command devices for complete opening open the door to the
upper end position.
The "keep-open" for intermediate stop time starts as soon as there
is no longer an active command for opening. If there is no active
command for opening once the "keep-open" time for intermediate
stop has elapsed, the door is closed.
To set the "keep-open" time for intermediate stop Ä Chapter 7.9
‘Calling up/changing parameters’ on page 44.

Operating controls and display elements > Control unit
4.4.2 Manual mode

In manual mode, the door is opened and closed using the mem-
brane keypad on the control unit only (Ä ‘Membrane keypad for
door’ on page 25). Movements are only performed whilst a button
is pressed (control unit without self-locking). All other command
devices are ignored.
In manual mode, safety devices are ignored.
