About this file

This is a specification document for automatic door operators for the James H. Quillen VA Medical Center Police Dispatch Relocation project (Project Number 621 23 104). The specification establishes requirements for institutional-type swing door operators with comprehensive performance, design, control, and safety standards.

The specification requires swing door operators that move doors from fully closed to fully open position in a maximum of five seconds when speed adjustment is at maximum setting, compliant with BHMA A156.10 and UL 325 standards. Operators must feature aluminum alloy housing (ASTM B209, Type 6063-T5) measuring 112 mm wide by 140 mm high by 3.2 mm thick, completely assembled and sealed units with gear drive transmission, mechanical springs, and special lubricant for extreme temperature conditions. Power operators must include interlock mechanisms to prevent operation when doors are electrically locked, self-contained electrical control units with transformers, relays, and rectifiers, and microprocessor controls providing adjustable hold-open time (1-30 seconds), fully adjustable opening speed, LED status indications, and safety circuits that monitor obstructions. Control devices include back-lit wave activation wall switches (stainless steel, minimum 100 mm by 100 mm) with basis of design BEA MS41S or approved equal, and motion detectors with 1500 mm detection area and 25 millisecond maximum response time. Safety devices include presence sensors on the pull side of swing doors and adjustable time delay switches (3 to 60 seconds). Manufacturers must demonstrate satisfactory service on five similar installations for a minimum five years, and provide a two-year warranty against material and manufacturing defects. All operators must be from a single manufacturer with one consistent type throughout the project. Installation requires coordination with related electrical work (Division 26) and access control systems (Division 28), with training provided by manufacturer-approved instructors for a minimum of two hours.
