5500 Series Automatic Hurricane-Rated Wind Load Sliding Door

Offering a wide breadth of configurations and functions, the record 5500 series assures the architect and building owner a wide array of capabilities in ensuring the most safe, secure and attractive entranceway available by choosing from the following options:

Different operating modes

• Automatic mode with full opening width 
• Automatic mode with reduced opening width
• Automatic mode in one-way (exit only) for traffic control
• Adjustable reduced opening mode
• Continuously open: door opens and remains in open position; either full open or reduced opening width
• Off mode: door can be moved by hand

Safety Functions

• Safety sensors (self-monitoring holding beams) in the clear opening of the door prevent the door from shutting if persons or objects are in the detection zone.
• Safety automatic reversing mechanism: if the door leaves are inhibited when closing, they are immediately re-opened (automatic reverse 2-step adjustable). If the door leaves are hindered when opening, they are immediately stopped.
• The position of the obstacle is stored and will be slowly approached during the next door movement.
• Even in the case of power failure, the emergency fail close or the emergency opening is assured by the optional emergency power options.
• Sidelite protection – additional sensors located above the opening path of the door will slow the opening if a person or object will inhibit the door opening normally.
