7、3 FOREWORD (This Foreword is not a part of ANSI/BHMA A156.19) The general classification of builders hardware includes a wide variety of items which are divided into several categories. To recognize this diversity, a sectional classification system has been established. Power Operated Doors is one s
8、uch section and this Standard is a result of the collective efforts of members of the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, Inc. who manufacture this product. The total Product Standards effort is, therefore, a collection of sections, each covering a specific category of items. Performance te
9、sts and, where necessary, dimensional requirements have been established to ensure a degree of safety. There are no restrictions on design except for those dimensional requirements imposed for reasons of safety. This Standard is not intended to obstruct but rather to encourage the development of imp
10、roved products, methods and materials. The BHMA recognizes that errors will be found, items will become obsolete, and new products, methods and materials will be developed. With this in mind, the Association plans to update, correct and revise these Standards on a regular basis. It shall also be the
11、 responsibility of manufacturers to request such appropriate revisions. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. GENERAL .5 2. DEFINITIONS .5 3. REQUIREMENTS FOR SWINGING POWER ASSIST DOORS .6 4.

12、A A156.19) 10 5 1. GENERAL 1.1 Requirements in this Standard apply only to swing door operators. The operator types are power assist, and low energy power operators, for pedestrian use, and some small vehicular use. It does not address doors, finish or hardware. The activation of all doors described
13、 in this standard requires a knowing act. Included are provisions intended to reduce the chance of user injury or entrapment. 1.2 Doors that require higher speeds, forces, shorter time delays, and activating sensing devices shall comply with ANSI/BHMA A156.10 for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors and
14、are not covered in A156.19. 1.3 This Standard does not attempt to assess any factors that exist with respect to custom design installations which are not required to meet the requirements of this Standard. 1.4 Unless otherwise specified, all references to time delay, opening speed and forces in this
15、 standard, refer to the operator in the power mode as opposed to the manual mode. 1.5 Required dimensions are expressed in US units first and the SI (metric) equivalents given in parentheses are approximate. All values which do not carry specific tolerances or are not marked maximum or minimum shall
16、 have the following tolerances: Linear dimensions shall be 1/16 in (1.6 mm). Pounds or pound force shall be 5%. Angular measurements shall be 4 degrees. Voltage measurements shall be 5 percent. Temperature measurements shall be 4 degrees F (2 degrees C). 1.6 Compliance with the requirements of this
17、standard shall be accomplished through factory settings or field adjustments as necessary. 1.7 Operators used on labeled fire door assemblies shall be listed or labeled by a nationally recognized independent testing laboratory, and be subject to a periodic in-plant follow-up service. Consult the aut
18、hority having jurisdiction for the appropriate fire test requirements. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Knowing Act Consciously initiating the powered opening of a low-energy door using acceptable methods including: wall or jamb-mounted contact switches such as push plates; fixed non-contact switches; the action
19、of manual opening (pushing or pulling) a door; and controlled access devices such as keypads, card readers, and keyswitches. 2.2 Low Energy Power Operated Door A door with a power mechanism that opens the door upon receipt of a knowing act activating signal, does not generate more kinetic energy tha
20、n specified in this Standard, and is closed by a power mechanism or by other means. 2.3 Power Assist Door A door with a power mechanism that activates by pushing or pulling the door, reducing the opening resistance of a self-closing door to allow easier manual opening of the door. If the opening for
21、ce on the door is released, the door shall come to a stop and either immediately begin to close, or begin to close after a predetermined time. 2.4 Push-Pull Activation A door where the user pushes or pulls a door equipped with a Low Energy Power Operator to activate a mechanism, causing the door to
22、go through a complete cycle of automatic opening, hold open time delay, and closing. 2.5 Small Vehicular Carts used to transport people or objects. 6 3. REQUIREMENTS FOR POWER ASSIST DOORS 3.1 Activation Power assist doors shall operate only by pushing or pulling the door. An activating means is per
23、mitted to be used to put the door in the power assist mode. 3.2 Opening If the opening force on the door is released, the door shall come to a stop and either immediately begin to close or begin to close after a predetermined time. 3.3 Time Delay Not required. 3.4 Closing Doors shall close from 90 d
24、egrees to 10 degrees from closed, in 3 seconds or longer as required in Table I. Doors shall close from 10 degrees to fully closed in not less than 1.5 seconds. 3.5 Force and Kinetic Energy The force required to prevent a door from closing shall not exceed 15 lbf (67 N) measured 1 inch (25 mm) from
25、the latch edge of the door at any point in the closing cycle. Doors shall open with a manual force not to exceed 15 lbf (67 N) to release a latch if equipped with a latch, 30 lbf (133 N) to set the door in motion, and 15 lbf (67 N) to fully open the door. The forces shall be applied at 1 inch (25 mm
26、) from the latch edge of the door. 3.6 Signage See Section 6 for signage. 4. REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW ENERGY POWER OPERATED DOORS 4.1 Activation The operator shall be activated by a knowing act. 4.2 Opening Doors shall open from closed to back check, or 80 degrees which ever occurs first, in 3 seconds o
27、r longer as required in Table I. Backcheck shall not occur before 60 degrees opening. Total opening time to 90 degrees shall be as in Table II. If the door opens more than 90 degrees, it shall continue at the same rate as backcheck speed. 4.3 Time Delay When powered open, the door shall remain at th
28、e fully open position for not less than 5 seconds. Exception: When push-pull activation is used, the door shall remain at the fully open position for not less than 3 seconds. 4.4 Closing Doors shall close from 90 degrees to 10 degrees in 3 seconds or longer as required in Table I. Doors shall close
29、from 10 degrees to fully closed in not less than 1.5 seconds. 4.5 Force and Kinetic Energy The force required to prevent a stopped door from opening or closing shall not exceed 15 lbf (67 N) measured 1 inch (25 mm) from the latch edge of the door at any point during opening or closing. The kinetic e
30、nergy of a door in motion shall not exceed 1.25 lbf-ft (1.69 Nm). Table I provides minimum times for various widths and weights of doors for obtaining results complying with this kinetic energy. Doors shall open with a manual force not to exceed 15 lbf (67 N) to release a latch, if equipped with a l
31、atch, 30 lbf (133 N) to set the door in motion, and 15 lbf (67 N) to fully open the door. The forces shall be applied at 1 inch (25 mm) from the latch edge of the door. 4.6 Signage See Section 6 for signage. 7 5. CYCLE TESTS 5.1 Low Energy Power Operated, and Power Assist doors shall be cycle tested
32、 for 300,000 cycles. 5.2 Use the widest and heaviest test specimen recommended for use by the manufacturer. Narrower or lighter doors of the same configurations shall then be considered to meet the cycle test requirements. 5.3 Use the requirements in Table I and Table II to determine opening and clo
33、sing times. Open the door to a 90 + 5 degree open position and close the door to the 0 + 2 degree closed position using appropriate equipment. One opening and closing constitutes one cycle. In the case of Power Assist doors, use an actuator exerting an equivalent force equal to a 15 lbf (67 N) measu
34、red at 1 in (25 mm) from the latch edge of the door applied in the opening direction and allow the closing device furnished to close the door. 5.4 At the conclusion of the cycle test, the doors shall operate in accordance with requirements of Table I, Table II and the actual opening and closing time
35、 shall be within -10 % to +20 % of their respective values at the commencement of the test.

38、ted as shown in the chart. Back check occurring at a point between positions in Table II shall use the lowest setting. For example, if the backcheck occurs at 75 degrees, the full open shall be the time shown in Table I plus 1.5 seconds. * Check applicable Building Codes for clear width requirements
39、 in Means of Egress. Doors of other weights and widths can be calculated using the formula: T = D W /133 in US Units T = D W /2260 in SI (metric) units 8 Where: T = Time, seconds D = Door width, inches (mm) W = Door weight, lbs. (kg) The values for “T” time have been rounded up to the nearest half s
40、econd. These values are based on a kinetic energy of 1.25 lbf-ft. 9 6. SIGNAGE 6.1 Doors shall be equipped with signage visible from either side of the door, instructing the user as to the operation and function of the door. The signs shall be mounted 50” +/- 12” (1270 mm +/- 305 mm) from the floor
41、to the center line of the sign. The letters shall be 5/8 inch (16 mm) high minimum. 6.2 Consistent with section 2.2.1 of ANSI Z535.4 - 2002 the “signage and warnings“ guidelines of A156.19 are recognized, industry-specific standards that predate the adoption of Z535.4 and are not replaced by the sta
42、ndards set forth therein. 6.3 Power Assist Doors 6.3.1 When a separate wall switch is used to initiate power assist, the doors shall be provided with signs on both sides of the door with the message “EASY OPEN DOOR - ACTIVATE SWITCH THEN OPEN DOOR”.
