Exit Device Durability test equipment
Exit Device Durability test equipment
Function: The equipment meets Standard requirement of EN 179 and EN 1125 to perform durability test. It is suitable for emergence exit and panic exit device and be capable to conduct TEST 1 (on single door), TEST 2 (on double doors). The operating force (release force) can be monitored during test, and the specific cycle number and the release force limit can be set on the HMI.
Test 1
-
A force of 25 N shall be applied to the test door at a position of 550 mm from the centre line of the hinges, and between 800 and 1 200 mm from the bottom of the test door in the direction of door opening, to simulate a force caused by seals
-
The test door shall be opened to an angle of between 10° and 12° by solely actuating the operating bar.
-
Following a dwell period of not less than 0,5 s a closing force shall be applied to return the test door to the secured position in a time of between 1,0 s and 2,0 s.
-
The closing force shall be removed when the test door reaches an open position of (5 ± 1)°, allowing the test door to latch by kinetic energy alone, and with no residual closing moment.
-
Following a dwell period in the latched position of not less than 0,5 s, cycling shall continue for a total of 100 000 cycles for grade 6 or 200 000 cycles for grade 7.
-
In the case of testing a panic exit device on the inactive leaf, the active leaf shall be held open throughout Test 1.
Test 2:
-
A force of 25 N shall be applied to the test door at a position of 550 mm from the centre line of the hinges, and between 800 and 1 200 mm from the bottom of the test door in the direction of door opening, to simulate a force caused by seals
-
Both leaves of the test door shall be opened by solely actuating the operating element of the inactive leaf to an angle of at least 10°, for a total of 10 000 cycles for grade 6, or 20 000 cycles for grade 7. Means shall be provided to return each leaf in a time of between 3 s and 6 s to the secured position in the correct sequence, with no residual closing moment, before the commencement of the next cycle.
The test door may be opened further than 10° if required by the construction of the panic exitdevice.
