REVOLVING DOOR TECHNICAL MANUAL

CRYSTAL SERIES

AGP Door Systems Pty Limited

OUTLINE

Offering the ultimate in customisable revolving door

design, the AGP Crystal Series features an elegant

glass roof and slimline steel portal frame. It offers

various glass fixing options to suit the architectural

requirements of the client and provides a modern

spacious appearance to the entrance foyer of any

building.

This door can be built in either 3 or 4 wing configuration and is

avaiable with fixed door wings only. The electrical motor drive

can be contained in a pit in the concrete slab, or if there is a

suspended slab, it can be mounted to the underside for ease of

access when servicing.

Despite its highly transparent nature, the Crystal series is equipped

with all the modern safety sensors to ensure optimum safety at

all times. The slimline steel support structure, the design of which

is customised for each project, can be clad with stainless steel,

aluminium or brass.

LOCATION OF THE DRIVE UNIT

OPTION A - MOUNTED UNDER CONCRETE SLABShould the revolving door be located on a suspended slab, with a basement or underground parking below, the preferable option is to

bolt the drive unit to the underside of this concrete slab with a 100mm diameter core hole drilled in the slab to enable the drive axle of the

revolving door to control the door set.

OPTION B - CONTAINED IN PIT IN CONCRETE SLABWhen there is no under slab access, the alternative is to build a pit into the concrete slab which will house the drive unit. Separate conduits

will be required to allow power and data cables to be connected to the drive unit, and suitable drainage will be required should any water

penetrate the pit. A removable floor inside the revolving door is fi tted to allow for access to the drive unit for servicing.

STANDARD FEATURES

CLADDINGDoors can be supplied in a range of finishes

including powdercoated and anodised

aluminium, stainless steel and brass. All

cladding is folded over to provide a neat finish

with no visible fixings.

LOCKINGElectric locking of the doorset is built into the

drive motor to provide a secure entrance at

night. Please refer to the following page for

further information.

STEEL SUPPORT FRAMEThe steel support frame is custom engineered

to suit the size of the revolving door, the

architectural preferences for the door

appearance, and any specific loading

requirements of the overhead glazing.

GLASSAll glazing within the revolving door meets

the requirements of AS1288:2007. The glass

to the revolving carousel is 12mm toughened.

The glass to the sidewalls is 8mm toughend

and the glass roof is 15mm toughened. These

thicknesses are submitted to engineering

analysis. All glass is clear with other options,

such as low iron or tinted, available upon

request.

DOOR OPERATIONAll Crystal doors are be programmed to operate

at a constant run speed during normal

operation. As mounting of radar sensors to

the glass roof would detract from the doors

appearance, Stop-Run operation would only

be provided upon special request.

SPEED ‘SLOW DOWN’ BUTTONAll doors are fitted with an illuminated push

button that will slow the door down to half

of its normal speed for 2 revolutions. This

will make the revolving door more safely

accessible for wheelchair users and elderly

people.

CONTROL SWITCH PANELAll doors are fitted with a control switch panel

that has a number of features

A. Mode and Fault Indicator LED’sThe 3 indicator LEDs are designed to indicate

the current status of the four position mode

key switch as well as any fault indications

The LEDs will either be switched constantly

on, slowly flashing or fast flashing and can

be in any combination of these to give a

particular mode or fault indication.

B. Emergency Stop ButtonWhen the button is pressed the door will stop

immediately.

C. Mode Key SwitchThe four position mode switch can have the

key removed in any position leaving the door

set in that particular operational mode. The

functions of the control switch are as follows;

‘REMOTE’ mode

This mode is used when the door is connected

to a remote security system that will

automatically switch the door from lock mode

to run mode on a programmed basis.

‘RUN’ mode (automatic operation)

The door will run automatically. If the door

is connected to a security system for remote

operation the run mode will override any

signal from the security system.

‘LOCK’ mode

The door will rotate to the lock position and

automatically lock. This mode will override a

signal from a remote security system.

‘STOP’ mode

The door will stop in the locking position but

the door will not lock.

CASE STUDIES

SIR KEITH MURDOCH HOUSE Adelaide [2006]To provide a prestige entrance for one of

Adelaide’s most significant commercial

building developments, a 3000mm diameter,

3 wing Crystal series revolving door was

selected. The door features a frameless glass

roof suspended below the steel portal frame

with spider fittings as well as curved sliding

night doors which manually slide across a

tubular track to seal off the door entrance at

night.

Builder: Baulderstone Hornibrook

Glazier: Kingswood Aluminium

Architect: Fender Katsalidis

AMP SYDNEY COVE Circular Quay [2002]As part of the ground floor lobby

refurbishment of this landmark

building opposite Circular Quay, two

3500m diameter, 3 wing Crystal series

revolving doors were installed. In

keeping with the heritage appearance

of the building, specially extruded

aluminium sections were made for the

door support structure, providing the

appearance of steel universal beams

and matching the surrounding glazing

details.

Builder: Probuild

Glazier: Architectural Glass Projects

Architect: Peddle Thorp Walker

1D HOMEBUSH BAY DR. Rhodes [2003]With a bold a strike first impressive desired,

a large 4000mm diameter, 4 wing Crystal

Series revolving door was installed as the

main entry to this new commercial building.

To maximise the open and clean appearance,

the door was specially engineered to support

the dead loads and wind loads imposed by

the frameless glass screen above, without the

need for a separate entry portal. To achieve

this, 150 x 100mm RHS steel members were

used for the door support structure.

SAFETY FEATURES

MULLION SAFETY SENSORSThe AGP mullion safety sensors provide

optimum safety between the leading

edge of the mullion and the approaching

revolving door leaf.

If an object is detected in front of the

leading mullion when the door leaf

is within a distance of 500mm from

the leading mullion the door will stop

rotating until the object

has moved from the safety zone.

The AGP mullion safety sensors comply

with the Australian Standard on

Revolving Doors AS5007:2008

DOOR LEAF SAFETY SENSORSThe AGP door leaf infrared safety sensors

are fitted to the top door rails and scans

the area directly in front of each door

leaf.

Should a person be detected the door

will slow down to the speed of the

person and if necessary stop.

The system is designed to minimise the

possibility of collision between each

revolving door leaf and a person or

object inside the revolving door.

For elderly or handicapped persons the

ability of a door to slow down to the

same speed as they are walking has real

safety advantages. This system is ideally

suited for larger doors when there is

more space

inside each door quadrant. The AGP

door leaf safety sensors comply with the

Australian Standard on Revolving Doors

AS5007:2008

DOOR RAIL SAFETY SENSORSThe AGP Door rail contact safety sensors

are fitted to the front of each door leaf.

Should a person’s foot come into contact

with the bottom rail the revolving door

will immediately stop.

The system is designed to stop the

revolving door should the infrared sensor

fail to pick up the obstruction earlier.

The AGP door rail safety sensors

comply with the Australian Standard on

Revolving Doors AS5007:2008
