How To Check Your Side Presence Detector(S) - Assa Abloy Besam SL500 User Manual

Open the door and move your hand from one side (right/left) into the inner door face presence field.
Keep it motionless for several seconds at about 30 cm over the floor level. The door should remain
open as long as you are within the detection area. Repeat the same procedure on the outer door
face.

How to check your side presence detector(s)

Side presence sensors are used for example if higher door speed is required or for installations in
homes for elderly/disabled or childcare centres, to protect users from being struck by the doors
during their opening cycle. When a side presence sensor detects an obstacle the door operator will
not stop, but slow down the door movement to a quite safe speed. With this safe speed the door
will try to push the obstruction away of the opening door. Make sure that the door starts to open.
Walk into the detection field of the side presence sensor on one side. The door shall not stop, but
slow down to safe speed during the opening.
If you have a bi-parting (double) door then repeat the procedure above on the other side.
