Cleanroom automatic doors are a cornerstone of modern cleanroom facilities, offering safety, convenience, and improved efficiency. However, to ensure their continued safe and reliable operation, proper user behavior is crucial.
Here are 10 essential precautions for using cleanroom automatic doors
- Orderly Traffic Flow: Maintain a smooth flow through the doorway. Avoid rushing through the door as it closes, and allow ample space for others to exit before entering.
- Respect the Door: Refrain from forceful actions like pushing, pulling, or leaning against the door. This can damage the delicate sensors and mechanisms.
- Assistance for Vulnerable Users: Children under 1.2 meters tall, individuals with mobility limitations, and those with disabilities should be accompanied by a guardian or medical staff when using the automatic door.
- Clear the Entryway: Do not linger in the doorway or place any objects that could obstruct the smooth operation of the door.
- Sensor Etiquette: When the door is in automatic mode, avoid lingering in the sensor activation zone for extended periods. This can disrupt the sensor and cause malfunctions.
- Manual Override in Emergencies: In case of power outages, most cleanroom automatic doors can be manually pushed open in either direction.
- Emergency Procedures: If the automatic door malfunctions or an emergency situation arises, locate the designated power shutoff and disable the automatic function before manually opening the door.
- Visual Cues for Fixed Doors: For facilities with both automatic and fixed doors, consider adding clear signage or markings to distinguish them and prevent accidental collisions with automatic doors.
- Maintain a Clear Doorway: Avoid placing objects near the door that could obstruct its opening and closing path or potentially damage the door during operation.
- Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: Maintain a clean environment around the door's sensor housing and machine box to prevent dust or debris from interfering with proper operation. Schedule regular cleaning and maintenance of the automatic door system according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
