Application A safety edge is to be installed on each door leaf to safeguard the main closing edge of a folding gate
1. Profile A suitable profile must be selected. When determining the appropriate profile, the over travel and actuating angel must be considered. Since the profile rarely knocks against the obstacle centrally in the case of a folding gate, it must be possible to actuate the safety edge from an angle. Because the profile is almost always mounted directly on the door`s main closing edge FRABA VITECTOR includes a variety of customized solutions.
2. Sensors and Control Unit The choice of control unit depends on the gate control system used. Many control systems can analyze the sensor signals directly. In this case, however, two edges must be controlled. The control unit OSE-C 2323 can be used here in accor-dance with the new standard. Most profiles have an 11 mm chamber, so that the sensor types OSE-R 1100 and OSE-T 1100 must be selected here. The exact length of the sensor wiring depends on the wiring of the door leaf. For some applications, it may be advisable to use sensors with wiring suitable for inclusion in energy guiding chains.
3. Accessories End stoppers are not required. The sensor wiring is usually routed via energy guiding chains.
4. Connection to the Gate Control System The Stop signal from the safety edge must interrupt the self-holding function of the gate. The gate may only be operated in deadman mode if the safety edge does not work. The gate must be reversed when the signal to reopen is given. In the closed position, the re-open signal from the safety edge should be interrupted via preset limit switches, otherwise the gate could be opened by actuation in the limit position.
