Additional Features and Benefits of record’s 5100-5600 Series

Hydraulic Closures

Hydraulic Closures are used on door panels instead of the spring closures or roller switches used by record’s competitors. Those subpar closures can fail on average every 24 months. The hydraulic closure prevents damage to the door during break away and provides a controlled return to a near closed position reducing the risk of damage from wind gusts.

ANSI Standards

The 5100-5600 Series Exceed ANSI strict standards for safety. Dual safety beams come standard on every door package and operation is programmed to auto reverse if the door comes into contact with any object. ANSI Standards https://adata.org/factsheet/opening-doors-everyone

Operating Mode Options

  • 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.

Additional Options

  • Emergency battery: in the case of power failure, the optional battery backup device will perform flawlessly (including all sensing devices) for hours. When the battery’s capacity is low, the door slides to a predetermined position (open, shut or locked). In the case of continued power failure, the shut and locked door can still be opened automatically by a key-operated impulse.
  • Electro-mechanical locking device concealed in the operator casing.
  • Systems available for locking device surveillance and alarm.
  • Communication module for data exchange with a higher-level building services control system is available.

Door Closers

  • Integrated support for hydraulic closers comes in both SX (slide/swing) and SO (swing sidelite) panels.
  • Built into the top rail, door closers are available when specified, to ensure the door closes and remains operable after emergency breakout egress.
  • Panic Device – recessed panic hardware is available for full-breakout and fixed panel applications which will comply with all existing exit codes.

record USA recognizes the importance of the Green initiative. Disposing of items that could be recycled diminishes energy, water and natural resources that could be saved by recycling. Creating an environment of cultural responsibility has been a focus over the past several years and will remain as such for the foreseeable future.
