between two vertical jambs. The header holds the drive and control units and supports the
sliding doors and Sidelites.
An ASSA ABLOY SL500 Resilience operator ensures all-around safety. It can be combined
with the full range of ASSA ABLOY safety units, such as presence and motion sensors.
It is easy to install for both new construction and retrofit application and can be adapted to a
wide range of overhead concealed or surface applied installations.
Theoperatoritselfisnotintendedforusebypersons(includingchildren)withreducedphysical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the operator by a person responsible for
their safety.
This does not however prevent those persons to use the door where the operator is installed.
The door is designed to offer continuous use, a high degree of safety and maximum lifetime.

How the ASSA ABLOY SL500 Resilience works
The ASSA ABLOY sliding door operator ASSA ABLOY SL500 Resilience works
electromechanically. The motor, control unit, transmission –and optional emergency unit and
electromechanical locking device –are all assembled in a support beam with an integrated
cover. The motor and gear box transmit movement to the door leaves by means of a tooth
belt. The door leaf is fitted to a door adapter/carriage wheel fittingand hangs on a sliding
track. The guiding at the bottom is carried out by means of floor guides.
When an OPENING IMPULSE is received by the control unit the motor starts and transmits
movement to the door leaves, which move to the open position.
The closing starts when no OPENING IMPULSE is received and the HOLD OPEN TIME
has expired, and no PRESENCE IMPULSE is activated.
The ASSA ABLOY SL500 Resilience user can select five different modes of operation if an
operator mode selector is installed. See Operation mode selectors on page 8.

Integrated safety
Topermitasafepassagebetweenclosingdoors,thedoorsreverseimmediatelyifanobstruction
is detected. They then resume their interrupted movement at low speed to check whether the
obstruction has disappeared or not.
If an obstruction is detected between opening doors and surrounding walls or interior fittings,
the doors stop immediately, and then close after a time delay.
Safety system with presence sensors
Usually the safety system incorporates presence sensors installed above the door opening. A
presence sensor detects an object in the doorway, while the doors are closing, the doors reverse
immediately. They then resume their interrupted movement as soon as the object is removed.

Technologically advanced sensors
The ASSA ABLOY sensors have been tested and approved by the ASSA ABLOY test
laboratory for use on ASSA ABLOY's automatic sliding doors. These presence sensors
further improve the already high obstruction detection obtained with the built in self-
monitored reverse upon obstruction force limitation.
Monitored sensors have built-in monitoring for error detection. However, all sensors, inner
and outer as well as side presence (if fitted), shall be checked at least once a week by the
owner of the building, see below. These tests shall be documented, signed and traceable (e.g.
in the service book).
Note: If you have a problem you cannot correct, turn off the automatic door immediately and
call your ASSA ABLOY service representative for assistance.
How to check your inner and outer combined motion and presence
detection sensors
Combined sensors are used when you want both a motion sensor and a presence sensor
integrated into the same unit.
Whenwalkingtowardsthedooropeningat moderatespeed,thedoorshouldstartopeningwhen
you are about 5 ft (1.5 meter) from the door. It shall slide open smoothly and stop in the fully
open position. Repeat the same procedure from the other side of the door opening. Move
slowly through the door (about 6"/s (15cm/s)). The door shall remain open.
Ifyour doorisset upfor one-waytraffic,the sensoron thesidenot intendedfor useshall reopen
the closing door if an object is detected at a minimum of 8" (20 cm) from the door at floor
level.
Step out of the detection field. After a short time delay the door shall slide closed smoothly.
Walk parallel to the inner door face (about 31.5" (80 cm) from the door face) to check that
your motion is detected during at least the complete door opening width. Repeat the same
procedure on the outer door face.

Open the door and move your hand from one side (right/left) into the inner door face presence
field. Keep it motionless for several seconds at about 11.75" (30 cm) over the floor level.The
doorshouldremainopen aslongas youarewithinthe detectionarea.Repeatthesameprocedure
on the outer door face.
Safety system with photocells
Alternatively, the safety system can incorporate presence photocells in the door opening. If
an object is breaking the infrared (invisible) beam between the photocell units, while the
doors areclosing, thedoors reverseimmediately. Theythen resumetheir interrupted movement
as soon as the object is removed.
