ESCAPE AND RESCUE ROUTES ACCORDING TO DIN EN 1125

This standard is applied in public buildings where users are not familiar with the functions of the emergency exit and must operate it in an emergency without prior instruction.

This means that the door must be able to be opened by anyone without special knowledge in emergency situations. In these buildings, there is a possibility of a panic situation with high risk due to incorrect use of panic hardware (people behave irrationally). Especially in the event of a power failure (no light) or crowding, the panic function of door handles is no longer given.

Here, the opening function must be provided across the entire door width even if improperly operated or in a panic situation. In such a situation, people rush directly to the emergency exit and must be able to open it without instruction. The door systems used according to this DIN are referred to as panic doors, which must be secured with a panic bar across at least 60% of the door width. Here too, lock and fitting elements must be tested completely as a unit.


POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS

  • Theater, cinema, opera house
  • Discotheques, nightclubs
  • Stadiums
  • Airports
  • Shopping centers, department stores
  • Administrative buildings
  • Employment offices etc.
  • Larger hotels
KEY POINTS AT A GLANCE
  • The door is secured with a handle/push bar (panic bar) over at least 60% of the door width.
  • Panic bar and lock must be certified together.
  • The max. release force is 80 N or 220 N against pressure.
  • When in doubt, use a panic bar for safety.

GfS Day Alarm LC (Low Cost) including profile half cylinder
GFS Day Alarm The GfS-Day Alarm is easy to install. It is a cost-effective alternative to monitor the locking of doors along escape routes. The device is plug-and-play. The connection is made via the cable reed contact (930210). When the door is opened, an alarm is triggered, which is also visually perceived by the built-in alarm light in the device. Authorized persons use the doors without triggering the alarm simply with a key. The device status is indicated by a red or green LED. If the door is not closed after an authorized opening, an interval tone sounds after 15 seconds of opening time and the green LED blinks. As soon as the door is closed, the red LED lights up again, the interval tone is turned off, and the device is armed. A permanent release of the door can also be achieved via the key switch. The corresponding pictogram "Door alarm secured" indicates that it is a monitored door. If the door is used on both sides, a button must be installed on the outside (e.g., in the lock storage, so that the storage can be left at any time). The switch only allows authorized passage and does not trigger an alarm. This setting as well as a permanent release can only be made directly on the Day Alarm device by an authorized person. The elegant, anodized aluminum housing of the GfS-Day Alarm is well suited for use in areas with public traffic.
