Q. How can I install door mounted, swing side sensors that slow/stops the door if a
pedestrian is detected as the door is opening?
A. A door mounted swing side sensor may be installed with the use of a Safety harness
(part number 600-0007-01). Wire the sensor's output contact to the green and black wires
(Stop-N-Seek input) of the Safety harness.
Q. How does the "UL" setting work?
This setting will delay the opening of the door after being activated and will require the
"LL" setting to be turned on.
Q. How does a safety mat function?
A. A safety mat will have two wires which will be connected to the black and wire wires of
the Safety harness (600-007-01). If someone is standing on the mat, the switch or sensor
will not open the door. If someone opens the door and stands on the mat, the door will not
close. After the person steps off the mat the ES-500 will start the "HO" cycle then close.
Q. I am using the operator in a high energy mode. How can I acquire support for a
safety beam per ANSI 156.10?
A. Although Quad Systems does not recommend the use of this operator and/or control in
a high energy mode, this feature is supported beginning in Versions 1.02/1.03. An
auxiliary harness (Close Monitor harness, (part number 600-0008-01) will be required.
Set the AF parameter to 3*. Wire the safety beam's output contact to the red and black
wires of the auxiliary harness. A beam break will prevent the door from opening if it's
closed, prevent it from closing if it's open, slow the door to seek speed if it's opening, and
will immediately cancel the lockout delay and re-engage the safety sensor if the door is
closing.
Q. What transient filter is built into the control?
A. The control has the industry standard metal oxide varistor (MOV) surge absorber built
in. It is rated for 150VAC continuous, 20 joules, and is located downstream of the slow
blow fuse. Short overvoltage conditions are typically absorbed by the MOV with no control
damage, while prolonged ones (such as accidental connection to the wrong supply
voltage) will normally blow the fuse.
Q. Is there any kind of gate to kill spikes?
A. The MOV discussed above would be considered the "gate" that kills spikes. There is
also a part called a 'Surge Limiter' on the control. Its function is to reduce the initial surge
when the control is powered up, prolonging the life of certain components on the control.
