An overview of safety features that ensure the secure and safe operation of revolving doors.
The automatic revolving door is an exceptionally safe automatic door designed to meet the strictest safety standards. Safety features within the door panels and frame ensure the door responds to users and objects, allowing it to slow down or stop when necessary.

NOTE
Boon Edam offers various types of revolving doors, and your door may differ slightly from the images shown on this page. However, the safety principles remain consistent across all models. The inclusion of specific safety features depends on the chosen door type and selected options.
The safety package, door dimensions and type of drive mechanism determine whether a safety sensor or safety profile is applicable and whether the safety profile is active or passive.
Safety Profiles for Revolving Doors
SRT: Safety Rail Turning:
SRD: Safety Rail Door wing
BDB: Backstile Door wing Buffer
Revolving doors are equipped with rubber safety rails, attached to either the door wings or the curved walls, designed to ensure user safety. These rails come in two types: active and passive.
-
Active Safety Rails
Active safety rails have a sensor inside. When a person or object pushes an active safety rail, the machine stops the door set. When the active safety rail is not pressed anymore, the door set starts to turn after 1 second. -
Passive Safety Rails
Passive safety rails do not have a sensor inside. When a person or object blocks the door set, the machine senses the blockage and stops the door set. When a person or object blocks the door set at the location of a safety rail, the safety rail decreases the impact.
Safety Features for Automatic Night Doors
Revolving doors with automatic night doors have an active SRB on both sides of the fascia. When a person or an object touches the SRB, the night locking doors stop immediately., preventing accidental harm or damage.
This thoughtful integration of active and passive safety features ensures revolving doors remain both secure and user-friendly.

Explanation of Safety Sensors in Revolving Doors
|
Safety Sensor |
Description |
|
TRS (Top Rail Sensors) |
The TRS decreases the speed or stops the door set when it senses a person or object near the door wing.
|
|
TRS, stop |
For a Duotour: The TRS stops the door wings when a person or object is detected near the door wings. |
|
SWS, alarm |
The SWS is only on in sliding-door mode. If the sliding doors open and the SWS senses a person or object, the SWS gives an audio alarm. |
|
CCS (Centercolumn Ceiling Sensor) |
For a Tournex: The CCS stops the door wings when it detects a person or object near the central column. |
|
EBS (End Buffer Safety) |
The EBS decreases the speed or stops the door set if it senses a person or object between the door wing and the end post.
If the machine has automatic night locking doors the EBS stops the night locking doors if it senses a person or object. This functionality guarantees smooth, secure, and user-friendly operation in all scenarios. |
|
Rotating, EBS, stop |
For a Duotour: The EBS stops the door set if a person or object is detected in front of the SRT. |
|
Rotating, EBS, slow |
For a Duotour: The EBS reduces the speed if a person or object is detected in front of the SRT. |
|
Stationary EBS, stop |
For a Duotour: The EBS stops the door set if a person or object is detected between the door set and the end post. |
|
HBS (Horizontal Boon Sensor), slow |
For a Duotour:In rotation mode, the HBS reduces the speed of the door set if a person or object is detected near the door set. In sliding door mode, the HBS reopens the sliding doors. . |
|
SCD (Safety curtain door wing) |
The SCD stops the door wing that folds away if it senses a person or object near the door wing. Note: When the door wing folds away, the SCD is the only safety sensor that is on. All other safety sensors are off. |
|
Ceiling Sensors |
The ceiling sensor turns the door set one more segment if it senses a person is locked in the closed segment. The quantity of ceiling sensors for each segment depends on the diameter of the machine |
One second after a safety sensor detects a person or object, the door wings return to their normal operating speed.
