19 ANSI / BHMA A156.10
8.1.1 Activating zones for swinging, sliding and folding doors shall have a minimum width
equal to the width of the clear opening measured at 8 in. and 30 in. perpendicular from the face
of the closed door(s). The length from the face of the door shall be 43 in. minimum measured
at the center of the clear opening. Detection shall be effective to within 5 in. from the face of
the door measured at the center of the clear opening. Exception: If the 43" activating zone length
is not practical due to physical or environmental conditions, it shall be permissible to be reduced
to 30 inches, along with an additional sign, visible from the side the zone has been reduced on,
stating "AUTOMATIC CAUTION DOOR" as described in 11.2.3.
8.1.2 Motion sensors shall detect a 28 in. minimum high person, moving at a rate of 6 in. per
second minimum toward the center of the door within the detection zone described.
8.1.3 Presence sensors shall detect a stationary 28 in. minimum high person within the detection
areas described for a minimum of 30 sec.
8.2 Swinging Doors
8.2.1 Swinging doors shall have an activating zone as described in 8.1.1.
8.2.2 A safety zone shall be provided on the swing side of all power operated swinging doors.
8.2.2.1 If an overhead presence sensor(s) is used to provide a safety zone, the length of the active
area shall be effective to within 5 in. of the face of the closed door measured at the center of
the door opening. The safety zone shall extend 5 in. minimum beyond the leading edge of the
door in the open position when measured at the center of the door opening. The width of the
active area measured perpendicular from the face of the closed door shall be the door opening
less 5 in. maXcimum measuring both sides for a total of lOin. maXcimum measured parallel
to the face of the door at a distance of 8 in. and 30 in. When the safety zone is occupied by a
28 in. minimum high person fully in the safety zone of a fully open or closed door, the door
operator shall not operate.
8.2.2.2 When an overhead presence sensor on the swing side is prevented from providing a
safety signal to the control during the closing cycle, an additional sensor, sensors, or photo beam
shall be used on the swing side to
1) stop the door, or
2) continue to close the door, or
3) slow the reopening door to a maximum latch edge speed of 4 in. per second measured within
1 in. of the latch edge before any contact is made.
8.2.2.2.1 When using a photo beam, the detection width shall be not less than the clear opening;
the beam shall be located between 6 and 28 in. above the finish floor, and not more than 8 in.
from the lead edge of the door panel in the full open position.
8.2.2.2.2 When using a door mounted presence sensor, the detection area shall be effective to
within 5 in. from the face of the door, for one half of the width of the door, and to within 1 in.
of the lead edge, and shall detect a 28 in. minimum high person fully in the defined area.
8.2.2.3 If a door mounted presence sensor is used to provide a safety zone, it shall be effective
to within 5 in. from the face of the door for the width of the door less 5 in from the pivot point
and to within 1 in. of the lead edge. A door mounted sensor on either side of the door shall detect
a 28 in. minimum high person fully in the swing path, during the opening or closing cycle and
shall cause the door to reverse direction, stop or slow down to a maximum latch edge speed of
4 inches per second measured within 1 in. of the latch edge before any contact is made.
8.2.3 Swinging doors serving both egress and ingress, including non-knowing act double egress
doors, shall have on the swing side, a safety zone as defined in 8.2.2, and an activating zone.
The length of the activating zone shall be established as follows: the activating zone starts adja-
cent to the safety zone and extending an additional 55 in. from the leading edge of the door in
