A new Dor-O-Matic Compact Operator for sliding doors has been launched by Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies to meet the demand for slimline automatic door systems.  The innovative and contemporary design combines sleek lines with robust construction and enhanced control.

The Dor-O-Matic operator is a self-contained electro-mechanical drive unit for surface applied applications on new or existing bi-parting doors.  Housed in high-grade extruded aluminium, the low-profile design co-ordinates with most commercial architectural systems and with an overall height of only 10.5cm and projection of just 13cm, the operator gives clean and contemporary look to any doorway. The Dor-O-Matic 2900 Series operator is supplied complete with a first-fix mounting plate for fast and accurate installation and a modular docking system to facilitate easy assembly, commissioning and servicing.

Other features include high-density rollers which make for very smooth and virtually silent automatic door operation.  The compact drive system is based on a micro-motor which consumes less power than traditional products and helps reduce whole life costs.  In addition, the operator is supplied with a frame mounted digital user-interface which enables the user to change door settings quickly and easily and to run on-screen diagnostics.  A number of built-in safety features provide appropriate operation in the event of abnormal situations, such as an obstruction in the doorway (when the operator’s auto-reverse function moves the doors to the open position until the obstruction is removed) or power failure (the battery-back up will either power the doors to the fully open – or closed – position, depending on the pre-programmed setting).

The operator also offers building owners a range of user options, including one-way traffic (useful when a building is closing and customers need to exit, while deterring entry by new people) and ‘summer-winter’ setting (where, during colder months, the operator can be set to automatically reduce the width of opening in periods of low-traffic usage – helping save energy).

Ingersoll Rand offer a full installation and commissioning service backed by a national network of installation and service engineers, all trained to BS7036 standards.  More details are available from Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies (tel 01926 437000) or visit our new website on www.security.ingersollrand.com/compactslide
