Automatic Swing Door Operator Upgrade – Wantage Hospital

Following a change to the security of Wantage Hospital, we were contacted to provide a solution as the existing operator did not provide access or keep the building secure in the result of a power failure. We carried out a site survey with the customer to fully understand the requirements to allow us to provide a bespoke quotation.

The customer accepted and we arranged the installation to be carried out at the most convenient time when the building was closed. Also we arranged the access control and fire alarm companies to attend the same day so on completion the Automatic door system was tested for all scenarios. We always carry out a risk assessment and deploy our yellow safety barriers to designate a safe working area.

For the new installation we used the Record DFA127 operator with battery back-up and BEA Flatscan on door safety sensors which monitor the sweep area of the door. If a sensor detects a person or object the door will stop at a safe distance eliminating any risk of impact or crushing.

The battery back-up will allow the door to continue to operate as normal without the need to install an additional UPS power supply.

Following setting up, commissioning and testing we handed over all documentation as all of our engineers are qualified and are part of the Doorsafe Register.

During the hand over we also trained the staff on safe use of the door system and what to do in case of an emergency.
