Abstract
An entrance system (1) comprising a swing door member (10) having a door leaf (12), and an automatic door operator (30) is provided. The automatic door operator (30) has a motor (34) capable of causing movement of the door member (10), a controller (31) for controlling operation of the motor (34), and the automatic door operator (30) being operable in a testing mode (60) and an operational mode, wherein the controller (31) is configured, in the testing mode (60), to automatically determine at least one test parameter; and causing an action in response to the determined test parameter.
Claims14
An entrance system comprising:
- a swing door member having a door leaf, and
- an automatic door operator having:
- a motor capable of causing movement of the door member,
- a controller for controlling operation of the motor,
- the automatic door operator being operable in a testing mode and an operational mode, wherein the controller is configured, in the testing mode, to:
- automatically determine at least one test parameter;
- and
- cause an action in response to the determined test parameter;
- and
- a lock assembly connected to a power supply and having a lock type, wherein the lock assembly is configured to put the entrance system in a locked position, and wherein the controller is further configured to:
- put the power supply in a power off condition;
- put the entrance system in the locked position;
- control said motor to initiate a movement of said door leaf between a shut closed position of said door leaf and a swung open position of said door leaf, and
- evaluate if the motor causes movement of the door leaf while the lock assembly is in the locked position,
- wherein the at least one test parameter comprises a result of the evaluation, and wherein the result is a determination whether the lock type is a fail-safe lock type or a fail-secure lock type.
A method of operating an entrance system which comprises a swing door member having a door leaf, and which furthermore comprises an automatic door operator having a motor capable of causing movement of the door member, a controller for controlling operation of the motor, and
- a lock assembly connected to a power supply and having a lock type, wherein the lock assembly is configured to put the entrance system in a locked or unlocked position,
- the method involving:
- operating the automatic door operator in a testing mode which involves:
- automatically determining at least one test parameter;
- and
- causing an action in response to the determined test parameter, wherein the step of automatically determining comprises:
- actuating the lock assembly to put the entrance system in the locked position;
- controlling said motor to initiate a movement of said door leaf between a shut closed position of said door leaf and a swung open position of said door leaf,
- evaluate if the motor causes movement of the door leaf while the lock assembly is in a locked position,
- wherein the at least one test parameter comprises a result of the evaluation, and wherein the result is a determination whether the lock type is a fail-safe lock type or a fail-secure lock type.
