Emergency, Specific, and Other Openings:

• Backup battery
• Motorized emergency exit: outside France, a second motor opens the door in case of an emergency
• Antipanic device (EMI-CO48 – Intrinsic Mechanical Energy): The EMI system is activated in the event of a power outage or an emergency requiring immediate door opening. It is installed by default in France (CO48 standards).
• Opening/closing safety features (NO NF IR Curtains): Detection of obstacles, objects, and force (people) near the door panels. Unidirectional/bidirectional sensors installed on the sides of the housing. Installed by default in Europe (EN 16005 standard), optional for the rest of the world.
• Infrared barrier: Outside Europe, provides safety in passage areas. Prevents door closure by detecting obstacles. Not available in Europe as it does not comply with European standards (for Europe, refer to Opening/Closing Safety (NO NF IR Curtains)).
• Floor Rail: Embedded floor rail required before installation. Ensures secure door guidance and protection against derailment and forced entry.
  • Discreet, low profile
  • Smooth, shock-free passage (PMR-compliant < < 20mm)
  • Mounting options: embedded, screwed, sealed, or glued
  • Compatibility: G25, G38, RPT door panels
  • Mandatory in certain telescopic door configurations
• Universal SAS Card: Configures the management of 2 or 3 doors in SAS mode.
  SAS mode ensures optimal protection for sensitive areas by managing both pedestrian flow and thermal regulation.
  • Typical applications: banking sector, airports, clean rooms, and sensitive sites

Locking/Unlocking:

• Hook lock: A locking mechanism that uses hooks or bolts to secure the door panels in the closed position. These hooks engage with a strike plate or corresponding fixing point on the door frame, ensuring stable and secure locking. Enhances door security.
• Multipoint cremone lock:This mechanism secures the door at multiple points simultaneously. The locking points can be positioned at the top, middle, and bottom of the door.
• Electric Locking: Electromechanical lock – motorized locking system that prevents door panels from opening
• Interior Manual Emergency Unlocking: pull handle
• Exterior (on fixed leaf or door jamb): key-operated box
• Fail-Safe Locking: Doors unlock in case of emergency (e.g., sleeping establishments) – opposite of standard locking
• RC2 Anti-Burglary Motorized Lock
• Cover Locking: Secured by key or screws

Door Control and Operation:

• NAVIBLU:Command and configuration console – allows full control of the automation via a wide LCD display. Provides access to all door functions and programming. Displays modes and incidents using pictograms and numbers. Integrated reset button, cycle counting, and incident logging.
  • CAN Connectivity
  • Operating mode selection: automatic, entry, exit, open, closed, manual
  • Opening type selection: full opening, partial opening, secure opening
  • Door settings: locking mode, speeds, forces, leaf braking, opening/closing delays, partial opening width, buzzer activation, PMR function, auxiliary command management, battery mode
  • IR command learning: up to 20 IR keys or S remote controls
  • Keypad lock with customizable code
  • Reset function
  • Incident signaling and analysis
  • Fault history and counter consultation
  • Compatibility: RS

Unintentional Commands:

• Internal radar (NO NF Self-Monitored)
• Opening/Closing Safety (NO NF IR Curtains): detects obstacles, objects, and forces (people) near the door leaves. Unidirectional/bidirectional sensors installed on the housing sides. Installed by default in Europe (EN 16005 standard), optional for the rest of the world.

Intentional Commands:

• S Remote Control – NAVIBLU: remote control for NAVIBLU
• 6-Position Key Selector (with Reset): mode selector using a key – open, closed, auto, manual, reset… available in multiple sizes and configurations (wall-mounted or embedded).
• Touchless Switch – MAGIC SWITCH: contactless opening detector, activated by a simple hand wave. Ensures hygiene, comfort, and safety. Includes a detection light signal. 80×80 mm.
  • CHROMA ADVANCED Option: Antimicrobial surface and sealing joints, LED animations, Adjustable sound settings, Entry signal
• Push Button: Manual interaction device to trigger door opening or closing
• Key Switch: Uses a key to activate or deactivate the door mechanism
  Restricts access by selectively locking or unlocking the door for specific users or time periods.

Other Access Control Systems:

• Input Module (NO/NF/Frequency): allows integration with other systems (e.g., access control)
• Output Module (2 relays): sends signals to communicate with external systems (e.g., HVAC, intrusion detection)

When a door is installed “between walls,” it means that the door mechanism, including the guide rail and other components, is recessed into the thickness of the wall.

• Advantages:
  • Clean, streamlined aesthetic
  • Space-saving, as the door is aligned with the wall surface
• Architectural Criteria:
  • Wall thickness sufficient to accommodate the mechanism
  • Lateral space available for the door’s horizontal movement

When a door is installed “surface mounted,” it means that the door mechanism is fixed directly onto the surface of the wall. The guide rail is mounted on the exterior of the wall.

• Advantages:
  • Easy installation, no major work required on the wall structure
  • Flexibility to replace or upgrade existing doors
• Architectural Criteria:
  • Wall surface must be strong enough to support the weight of the door and mechanism
  • Sufficient space available on the wall surface to fix the guide rail

When a door is installed “on posts,” it means that the door mechanism is mounted on special posts or uprights rather than directly on the wall. These posts serve as support for the door structure.

• Advantages:
  • Flexibility in the design and arrangement of the door
  • Can be used when wall conditions do not allow for direct installation
• Architectural Criteria:
  • Strong, well-anchored posts to support the mechanism
  • Sufficient distance between the posts to allow the door to move
