1.
Step on the "opening" (activating) mat in several
places. Door should slide open smoothly and stop
without impact. (See Figure 3)
2.
Step through the doorway onto the mat on the other
side. Door should remain fully open without
interruption.
Note: If there is more than one mat on each side, each
mat should be tested.
3.
Step off the mat. After a brief time delay (at least 1
1/2 seconds), the door should close slowly and
smoothly without impact. Doors should be adjusted so
they do not close faster than 1 foot per second.
4.
Check the mat molding and threshold. It should be
complete and secured with all screws required.
1.
Signage. Door should have decals properly displayed.
There should be decals that include the statements:
"AUTOMATIC DOOR" (in letters 1/2 in. high,
minimum) and "IN EMERGENCY - PUSH TO
OPEN". An adjacent sidelite or wall should have a
"STAND CLEAR" or similar decal in the slide path of
the door (See Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 for examples of
some decals that may be used.). An AAADM safety
information label should be affixed to the door frame
in a visible, protected location.
2.
Closing Speed. The closing time of the door must not
be less than the minimum time as shown in the
following table. This closing time is taken from full
open to a point six inches from fully closed. Example:
If a single slide door with a nominal opening of 36
inches closes in 2.3 seconds it is too fast and must be
slowed down. If it closes in 3.0 seconds it is in
compliance.
