1.4 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

A. Doors Powered to Open Position:
    1. Doors powered by electro-mechanical drive assembly transmitted to active leaves by fiberglass-reinforced tooth drive belt for silent operation.
    2. Power door to open position by signals received from the actuation controls.

3. The last portion of the opening cycle shall be controlled by a microprocessor generated signal that electronically reduces voltage to motor until door is fully open.

B. Doors Powered to Closed Position:
    1. The active leafs will only be powered to closed position when all actuating devices are cleared and after remaining in the open position for a preset time delay (per ANSI standards).
    2. The last portion of the closing cycle shall be controlled by a microprocessor generated signal that electronically reduces voltage to the motor until door is fully closed.

C. Emergency Breakaway:

1. Full Breakout System: Interior sliding active leaves and sidelites swing out from any position in sliding mode.

2. Fixed Sidelite System: Exterior sliding active leaves swing out from any position in sliding mode.

3. Breakaway Pressure: Field adjustable to building code requirements and in accordance with ANSI/BHMA 156.10, maximum of 50 pounds.
