INTRODUCTION
The Ready Access window is quality designed to give you years of reliable, trouble-free service.
Each window is shipped pre-assembled, fully glazed and ready for installation. All Ready
Access windows are thoroughly tested prior to shipping.
The 131 Bi-Parting Window is the perfect enhancement to the drive-thru concept, offering
unobstructed views of customer and crew.
The 131 come in two versions, manual/self closing and electric operation. The electric version is
fully automatic with a manual override in case of a power outage. The doors will open and close
by stepping into an out of the presence sensor. Both models meet health department
requirements for self-closing units.
This attractive and economical window is ideal for a drive-thru or walk up application. The large
service opening is suitable for both large and small operations. It is available in one standard
width, 53 ½” and two standard window heights, 37 ¾" H and 43 ¾" H.
When used with the READY ACCESS pass-thru air curtain system, this single panel-sliding
window will provide the crew and customer with comfort during winter (AA300 only) and an
insect and exhaust deterrent during the summer.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
• Manual/Self Closing or Electric Openings
The 131 Bi-Parting Slider keeps building costs down by offering the window in a manual/self
close operating style. Or for those who experience heavier traffic, an electric operating style is
also available. Both models meet health department requirements for self-closing units.
• Ease of Operation
In a manual/self closing operation, the inside attendant pulls the door handle, and both doors part
from the center to either side. With a fully automated operation, the operator simply steps into the
presence sensor and the movable window panels slide open. When the operator steps out of the
presence sensor, the movable window panels automatically close. The range for the presence
sensor is adjustable to specific customer needs.
• Adjustable Service Opening
Operators can easily adjust the window for two convenient opening sizes at any given time. By
simply pressing a button the doors will open to either 12"W or 18"W serving area.
• Quality Construction
Anodized aluminum extrusions, stainless steel and 1/4" tempered glass combine to give you an
attractive window that not only enhances building exteriors, but will not rust, pit or weather. Track
free bottom sill provides for a contaminant free surface.
• Double Security Locks
The 131 Bi-Parting Slider automatically locks each time the window closes, providing security
when the window is left unattended. When the drive-thru is closed, manual security locks help
prevent outside entry.

WARNING:
TWO PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED FOR THE LIFTING AND
INSTALLATION OF THE WINDOW.
1. Confirm that the customer-supplied frame is made to accommodate the dimensions as illustrated
on page 9.
2. Confirm that AC power has been run and is ready for connection to the window.
3. Check shipping carton for any shipping damage and remove window from the carton.
4. Check window for any shipping damage.
NOTE: There are two wall-mounting applications. The mounting space can be
surrounded either by sidelights (windows) or masonry. In both cases the upper
part of the window above the counter top (window sill) fits flush with the outside
of the wall. (See Figure 2) The illustrations will show the walls with the
sidelights, as this is the most common application. (Figure 3)
Figure 3 Figure 4
NOTE: If mounting the window in a masonry wall the window mounts flush with the
outside finishing of the building. Drill points are scribed directly into the masonry.
The outside edge of the mullion should be flush with the outside finishing of the
building. (See Figure 4)
