3.2.1 Operating Instructions – Switch Panel

The switch panel controls the operation modes of the automatic sliding door.

Switch Panel Operations:

• AUTO CLOSE OPEN: When an external or internal activation signal is received, the door will open to its full width unless the Partial Open switch is ON. Once the door is fully open, a hold-open time is initiated. If no activation, presence, or safety beam sensors (optional) are active, the door will close when the hold-open time expires.
• CLOSE: If the door is open, it will immediately close.
• OPEN: The door will remain closed until the Main switch is set to OPEN or AUTO. The door will open at creep speed and remain open until the Main Switch is set to AUTO or CLOSE.
• EXIT ONLY – OFF: Internal and external activation sensors are both active. The external activation sensor is disabled when the door is fully closed. Only the internal activation sensor will enable door opening.
• PARTIAL OPEN – OFF: The door will open to its full opening width.
• PARTIAL OPEN – ON: The door will open to a pre-set partial opening width.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 from the other direction if the door is used for two-way traffic.
5. Inspect the floor area. It should be clean with no loose parts that might cause a user to trip or fall. Keep the traffic path clear.
6. Inspect the door's overall condition. The appropriate signage should be present.
7. Have the door inspected by an AAADM certified inspector at least annually.

[WARNING] DO NOT USE DOOR if it fails any of these safety checks or if it malfunctions in any way. Call a qualified automatic door service company to have the door repaired or serviced.
