Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Locks & Building Hardware Feature At just 7cm tall the A951 swing door operator can be installed on either the lintel or transom and some standard size door frames, giving flexibility to make installation quick and easy (thanks to its lightweight and simple fixing plate). The operator housing is finished in an extruded anodised aluminium which combines seamlessly with an optional battery backup module offering continuous use during power failure. The A951 is also able to automate double-leaf entrances by interfacing the 2 units in a master/slave configuration. The double leaf guarantees perfect synchronisation of the leaves through CAN BUS communication. The operator can also provide an interlock/airlock mode and a series connection of up to 15 doors can be networked together (100m radius) so that when master mode is selected all subsequent doors follow suit. The A951 features a microprocessor controlling all the door activities in real time, with an encoder detecting its angular position at all times. Additionally, the programming (automatic, manual, night, open) can be selected by means of an integral toggle switch. Manufactured in compliance with the new European safety standards EN16005, the A951 automated system can operate in low energy or manage EN16005 radar/IR/laser monitoring such as the new laser sensor FLATSCAN. Due to the new microprocessor it also has programmable inputs, safety circuits and outputs ensuring the absolute operating safety at any time. Thanks to the innovative selection of mechanical and electronic components, the A951 is a universal operator for Push/Pull, Left/Right and Single/Double door applications making it easy to specify for almost any internal door, it has a maximum absorbed power of 100W offering significant energy savings both during stand-by and when operating.
