Notes before assembly
The described products acc. to EN 1125:2008 guarantee a very high quality and safety standard. In order to maintain the high standard, the
doors have to be in good condition. The door is to be checked for easy and unhindered opening and shall not show any deformation.
1 - Before assembling an exit device on a door, the door must be inspected to ensure it is mounted correctly and nothing can obstruct its
movement. Never assemble the exit devices on honeycomb core doors unless they have been specifically designed by the manufacturer for
this type of door. It is advisable to check that the construction of the door allows the device to be used; i.e. verify that the distance of the
hinge axis from the door and the interference of the door leaves allow both door leaves to be opened together (see paragraph 3), or check
that the clearance between the door leaves does not differ from that indicated by the manufacturer of the exit device, or check that the
operating elements do not interfere, and so on. NB: The devices for panic emergency exits manufactured to this European Standard ensure a
high level of safety to persons and sufficient safety for things, provided they are fitted on doors and frames in good condition.
2 - Before assembling a panic exit device on a fire/smoke door, check the fire resistance certification for the door on which the exit device
was fitted during the relative tests to ensure it is suitable for use on the fire door.
3 - Pay attention that the seals and gaskets fitted on the door do not prevent the panic exit device from working properly.
4 - On rebated double doors, when panic exit devices are assembled on both leaves, it is essential to check that each leaf opens when the
relative device is activated and also that both leaves open freely when both panic exit devices are activated at the same time. It may be
necessary to use an operating bar to move the active leaf in these cases.
5 - If the panic exit devices are manufactured in different sizes, make sure that the right size is assembled.
6 - Category 2 panic exit devices (standard projection) must be used in situations where there is not a lot of space around the emergency
exit, or when the doors the panic exit devices are assembled on cannot open wider than 90°.
7 - If the panic exit devices are designed to be fitted on a glass door, the glass must be tempered or laminated.
8 - When fitting the panic exit devices on metal or glass doors without frames, it may be necessary to use different fixing systems.
Use male and female through bolts to guarantee more secure fixing.
9 - The panic exit devices are not to be used on double-action doors (double-swing), unless they are specifically designed by the
manufacturer.
10 - All fixing instructions must be followed carefully during assembling. These instructions and all maintenance instructions must be
delivered to the user by the assembling operator.
11 - The horizontal bar should normally be assembled at a height of between 900 mm and 1100 mm from finished floor level, when the door
is closed. If it is known that most of the occupants of the premises are children, it is necessary to consider lowering the height of the bar.
12 - The horizontal bar must be assembled so as to provide use of the entire length.
13 - The closing elements and the keepers must be fitted so they connect securely. Make sure that when the closing elements are retracted,
there are no projections that prevent the door from rotating freely.
14 - If the panic exit devices are to be fitted on rebated double doors and automatic closing devices, a door coordination device conforming
to the EN 1158 Standard must also be fitted to guarantee the correct closing sequence of the doors. This recommendation is most important
for fire/smoke doors.
15 - No devices must be used to block the door in a closed position other than those indicated in the EN 1125:2008 European Standard. This
does not preclude the assembling of automatic closing devices.
16 - If a door closer must be used in order to close the door, make sure this does not make the door difficult to use for children, the elderly
and the disabled.
17 - All the keepers or protection plates supplied must be fitted in compliance to the EN 1125:2008 European Standard.
18 - Indications must be applied to the inside of the door with the words "Push the bar to open the door" or a pictogram, immediately above
the horizontal bar or on the actual bar if it has a flat surface that can hold the words in the size required. The pictogram must be no smaller
than 8000 mm² and it must be white on a green background. It must be drawn so that the arrow points towards the operating element, if
assembled.
