An activation control is used to switch an automatic door operator. The correct choice of control is critical since this will dictate how well the automated entrance works. The choice of switching method will regulate traffic flow and prescribe how and by whom the door is used. Your choice may also dictate whether the automated doors are classed as Low Energy Swing Doors or Powered Doors.
How to Make the Correct Choice
Initially the choice is two-fold between automatic activation and manual activation. Consideration should be given to the following:
- Traffic flow or density
- Traffic profile
High traffic situations, found in public or commercial buildings, require frequent unhindered switching of doors via microwave motion sensors (or detectors).
Low traffic situations, usually residential applications or automated doors specifically designed for the exclusive use of those requiring automated access, can be controlled manually using actuators (or push pads).
