General information General information Purpose and use of the instructions These instructions are an integral part of the system and enable efficient and safe handling of the sys- tem. In order to ensure proper functioning, the instructions must be accessible at all times and kept in the immediate area of the system.
General information Definition of terms Term: Explanation: System The term is also used in these instructions as a synonym for the product. Door operators, revolving doors, sliding doors, etc. are re- ferred to as a system. If information in these instructions refers to a specific type, this is shown accordingly in the text.
– FF TWIN 1400 Interpretation principle The FlipFlow TWIN is designed for automatic handling of passenger traffic in and around airports and other security-sensitive buildings. People walk individually through the corridor in only one direction and without the ability to go back in the direction they came from, i.e. in the opposite direction. The FlipFlow also prevents uncontrolled access by people coming from a public area to a security zone or a protected area.
Page 14
In all three cases, however, the average passenger flow per hour is identical. A FlipFlow TWIN can handle around 1500 to 2000 people per hour in FLOW mode. Of course, the throughput rate decreases if a single passenger interrupts the flight in any way.
Description Product overview 1 – entrance door 2 – exit door 3 – handrail (option) 4 – protective screen Type of installation Safety features and controls 3.4.1 BDE-S The control panel BDE-S (for the selecting the operating mode) is located in the on the cladding behind the cover of the entrance door.
Description 3.4.2 Emergency open push button In the event of a system failure or panic, the emergency escape switch can be operated to bring the FlipFlow into the safety position. FlipFlow-status – Lighting on – Entrance door closed and locked –...
Description 3.4.6 Conduct during power failure (battery pack optional) In the event of a power failure, the entrance door closes and locks while the exit door unlocks and opens. The FlipFlow remains in this position until power is restored. This mode is only available when the optional battery pack is selected.
Operation Operation How to operate the BDE-S control panel The BDE-S is a key switch with 5 positions: Simply insert the key into the lock and then turn it until the LED cor- responding to the desired operating mode lights up. Each time the key is turned, another LED lights up.
Operation 4.2.2 CLOSED and LOCKED operating mode Also serves as a manual reset Status of the FlipFlow: – Illumination is off. – LED-Strips and pictograms are red. – Doors are closed and locked. If secured, it is prohibited to use the service display. NOTICE Configurable with the service display: a) Option to enable detection in tunnel to open the exit door.
Operation NOTICE Configurable with the service display: a) Activation / deactivation of the sensors and movement detection. IMPORTANT In this mode, the security level is compromised! If detection in the tunnel is deactivated, it is possible to pass through in both directions without trigger- ing an alarm.
Operation – A passenger enters the tunnel, the door closes again (if another passenger arrives, the door stays open). – A passenger arrives in front of the exit door, and the door opens. – The passenger exits the tunnel, the door closes again (if another passenger arrives, the door stays open).
Page 22
Operation Initial state: – Illumination is on. – Entrance door is closed. – Exit door is closed. – LED-Strips are green. – Entrance pictogram is green. If secure, it is not permitted to use the service display . Cycle – A passenger arrives in front of the entrance radar, the door opens.
Operation – To increase the flow of persons and to minimize the eventual waiting time, the entrance door opens again, if the exit door is closed and the INTERLOCK is empty. After a short waiting time, the entrance door will close again. If another passenger enters the detection field of the tunnel, the FlipFlow will return to its normal INTERLOCK-Mode.
Page 24
Operation Cycle When passenger flow is low, the FlipFlow operates in INTERLOCK mode as described above. – If the number of passengers exceeds the preset threshold value the FlipFlow changes to FLOW mode and operates as described above. – The flow level is higher than the fixed threshold value the FlipFlow remains in FLOW mode and oper- ates as previously described.
Operation – The flow drops below the fixed threshold value the FlipFlow switches back to INTERLOCK mode and operates as described above. NOTICE Configurable with the service display: a) Flow and Interlock mode parameters. b) Flow - > Interlock threshold value. c) Interlock - >...
Operation Exiting cleaning mode This mode can exited in two ways: – The service personnel deactivate this mode themselves before the set time expires and the Flip- Flow goes back to the operating mode previously set. – The FlipFlow sends an audible signal indicating that the set time has expired, after a second time delay, the FlipFlow will prepare to close.
Operation 4.2.9 TEST mode – without alarm function This function allows the FlipFlow operating modes to be tested without triggering an alarm (no alarm signal transmitted to the BMS). This function can be activated by turning the rotary button on the con- trol panel.
Operation 4.2.11 Emergency opening When this function is activated, the FlipFlow doors open regardless of the status of the safety sensors. This mode is activated in case of fire or emergency by a remote switch in the building management system. This switch is provided by the customer and will interrupt the con- nection between pin 3 and pin 4 on PM11 on the circuit board of each tunnel.
Operation 4.2.15 Example of the Antipassback function A person crosses the exit door threshold in the opposite direction, an alarm is set off and the entrance door closes BAL_FF_TWIN_EN_2V3_REC_121-006454269 29 / 38...
