Portavant 80 automatic 3
Revision 12/2017
2 Safety notices
This operating manual contains safety notes pointing out the unavoidable residual risks
associated with the operation of the Portavant 80 automatic system. The following warnings
are used:
DANGER!
(Type and source of the danger)
Ignoring warnings indicated by the signal word "Danger" may lead to death or
most severe injury.
Caution!
(Type and source of the risk)
The signal word "Caution" indicates potential material damage. Ignoring
warnings indicated by the signal word "Caution" may lead to damage to the
product, other objects in its proximity or to the environment.
2.1 Intended purpose
The Portavant 80 automatic fitting system may only be used for the power-assisted and
manual opening and closing of sliding doors in protected building interiors and under normal
ambient conditions (see section 4 "Specifications"). Special influences like direct splash
water, an atmosphere containing chlorine or elevated temperatures are not allowed. This
excludes, in particular, the use of Portavant 80 automatic for shower doors or doors in
saunas, steam baths or swimming pools.
The system may only be used with single-sash doors weighing between 20 and max. 80 kg
(incl. handle, etc.) and with double-sash doors weighing between 20 and max. 60 kg each
(incl. handle, etc.). Only tempered safety glass or laminated safety glass made of may be
used. The assembly instructions contain further information and must be observed.
DANGER!
The Portavant 80 automatic system must not be installed in escape or
emergency routes. It must not be used in smoke-control and fire doors.
Caution!
Outdoor use, or indoor use for shower doors or doors in saunas, steam baths
or swimming pools, is expressly excluded.
2.2 Legal conditions
The motion area of an automatic door must always be secured by safety sensors (in
compliance with DIN 18650 / EN 16005 and other standards).
Safety sensors may be omitted in many situations in case of automated doors operating at a
low level of kinetic energy where door mass and speed are kept sufficiently low so that the
collision between a person and the door edge and the subsequent reversing motion of the
Portavant 80 automatic 4
Revision 12/2017
door can be seen as uncritical (see DIN 18650 / EN 16005). The situation must be analysed
by the installer in each individual case if doors are to be used by particularly vulnerable
persons such as children or persons with disabilities. The conditions on site must be
considered in the analysis (see section 2.4 "Safety analysis by the installer" and section 7
"Safety analysis by the installer according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005").
Related to EN 16005 an operation at a low level of kinetic energy means that the kinetic
energy of the door is below 1.69 Joule.
Evaluation:
E = m*v²/2 (E = kinetic Energy [J]; m = mass of the door [kg], v = velocity of the door [m/s])
DANGER!
(Risk of crushing/shearing/impact)
To avoid potential danger, the installer must perform a safety analysis
according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005 (see section 7).
2.3 Residual risks
Automatic doors may imply the risk of crushing, shearing, impact and drawing-in at the
closing edges (primary and secondary closing edges).
Depending on the installation conditions in the building and on the installation variant
(installation method), residual risks cannot be fully excluded.
DANGER!
(Risk of crushing/shearing/impact)
Never rush through a closing door, but start the opening motion and
wait until the door has opened sufficiently wide.
Never let children play with the Portavant 80 automatic system and
always keep the remote control out of the reach of children.
(1) Primary closing edge
(2) Secondary closing edge
Portavant 80 automatic 5
Revision 12/2017
The Portavant 80 automatic system can be operated as a manual sliding door temporarily or
permanently if so required to ensure the safety of particularly vulnerable persons (see
section 8 "Operating instructions"). The operating instructions also explain how to reduce the
immanent residual risks by using the semi-automatic mode and or by reducing the door's
motion speed (primarily the closing speed). See also section 3.3 "Operating modes and
safety levels".
In general, the Portavant 80 automatic system features a very high safety level.
2.4 Safety analysis by installer
Before installing the Portavant 80 automatic system, the installer must perform a safety
analysis of the entire doorset with due consideration of the conditions of the installation site
and the anticipated user groups of the door. If it is assumed that the doorset may represent
an unreasonable hazard to particularly vulnerable persons, then the operating mode of the
door can be changed and set in such a way that the mode (e.g. semi-automatic or manual)
cannot be manipulated without major intervention. See section 7 "Safety analysis by the
installer according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005".
DANGER!
(Risk of crushing/shearing/impact)
To avoid potential danger, the installer must perform a safety analysis
according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005 (see section 7).
It is not possible to fit the Portavant 80 automatic system with safety
sensors as an option. If the result of the safety analysis shows that
safety sensors are required, then the Portavant 80 automatic system
may not be installed.
2.5 Limitation of liability / Exclusion of liability for the USA and Canada
The Portavant 80 automatic system may only be used for its intended purpose (see section
2.1 "Intended purpose"). The manufacturer excludes any liability for damage resulting from
unauthorised changes to the Portavant 80 automatic system.
Operation of the Portavant 80 automatic system in the United States of
America (USA) or Canada is not permissible.

General safety precautions for installation, maintenance and cleaning
DANGER!
(Risk of electric shock and of crushing/shearing/impact)
Installation, maintenance and cleaning work may only be performed by
specialist technicians trained by the manufacturer.
Ensure that the Portavant 80 automatic system is completely isolated from
mains power before commencing any installation, maintenance or cleaning
work. Pull the mains connector from the power socket or, in case of a
hard-wired system, disconnect the fuse switch or circuit breaker. After
removing the aluminium cover profile, pull the mains connector at the
housing of the drive unit to prevent unintended reconnection to mains
power by third parties (danger to life by electric shock).
Take measures to prevent unauthorised persons from accessing the work
area to avoid injury by falling tools or components.
Fastening material such as bolts, screws and plugs must be selected by
the installer according to the building structure material and the load. The
installer is responsible for the secure and permanent attachment of the
components of the Portavant 80 automatic system to the building
structure.
Do not expose the Portavant 80 automatic system to water or any other
liquid (danger to life by electric shock).
Never introduce any objects into the openings of the drive unit's housing
(danger to life by electric shock).
The mains connection housing may be opened by specialist technicians
(qualified electricians) only (danger to life by electric shock).
Work on parts carrying live voltage may be performed by qualified
electricians only (danger to life by electric shock).
Route the mains power cable in such a way that no one can trip over it and
tear it off (danger to life by electric shock).
Never use the Portavant 80 automatic system if the mains power cable is
damaged. Replace the cable immediately if damaged (danger to life by
electric shock).
Portavant 80 automatic 7
Revision 12/2017
Always pull on the connector housing when pulling the mains power cable
from its socket, never on the cable itself (danger to life by electric shock).
Do not attach any pictures, power sockets, switches or other objects to the
wall within the travel path of the door. Keep the travel path clear of objects
such as vases or umbrella stands. Remove skirting or door frame, if
required. Observe the regulations concerning safety clearances (see
installation instructions and section 7 "Safety analysis by the installer
according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005").
Never place ladders or other objects within the travel path if motorised
motion is imminent.
Check the settings and functionality of the Portavant 80 automatic system
after installation.
The installation described in this manual is an example. The situation on
site, the building structure or available aids or other conditions may require
alternative suitable procedures.
Caution!
The drive and control unit must not be disposed of as household refuse.

Portavant 80 automatic 8
Revision 12/2017
3 Function description
3.1 General information
The Portavant 80 automatic system is an electro-mechanical drive system for single-sash or
double-sash interior doors. In single-sash operation, the permissible door weight including
add-on parts such as handles ranges from 20 to max. 80 kg. In double-sash operation, the
permissible door weight including add-on parts such as handles ranges from 20 to max.
60 kg per sash. The door sash is connected by roller assemblies.
The maximum permissible opening and closing speed is different for single-sash and
double-sash variants and depends on the door weight set by the installer via the control
panel. The only adjustment that can be made by the user is to reduce the actual motion
speeds. The user-adjustable speeds comply with the requirements for low kinetic energy
operation according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005.
3.2 Teach-in cycle / power failure
When commissioning the device, the installer must make the system perform a teach-in
cycle in order to calibrate the end positions of the door.
If a power failure occurs after commissioning, the door must be push-started manually into
either direction. The user must ensure that the travel path of the doors is free of
obstructions. Push-starting the door will start the automatic teach-in cycle during which the
door slowly moves into its end positions. Settings made via the control unit are not lost in
case of power failure.
3.3 Operating modes and safety levels
Manual mode:
This mode allows the door to be moved manually like a sliding door without powerassistance. In this mode the motor drive is disabled. All signal senders (push buttons, motion
detectors, etc.) are disabled. The belt drive remains connected to the door, causing it to be
moved when the door is operated manually. This has no adverse effects on the drive unit or
the control system. Manual mode may be used over extended periods.
It represents the highest safety level as the motorised drive is disabled.
Semi-automatic mode:
In semi-automatic mode the door opens and closes automatically when being triggered by a
signal. However, any motion detectors connected are disabled. Door motion must be actively
triggered by push-starting the door at the door handle [Push&Go] or by using the push
button or remote control. The door only moves if willingly commanded to do so by the user.
Accordingly, the user then always has the opportunity to check whether the travel path of the
door is free, and can observe the door as it moves.
This mode represents the second-highest safety level as all door motions are deliberately
triggered and can be observed.
Automatic mode:
In automatic mode, the installed motion detectors can be enabled or disabled by the user
e.g. to temporarily prevent pets from entering or leaving rooms. The door opens when
receiving an impulse from the motion detector or by someone pushing the door handle
[Push&Go] or pressing the push button or remote control. It then closes after an adjustable
open period without any further impulse from the user. This mode represents the thirdhighest safety level as door motion is triggered by motion detectors or a timer without a
deliberate decision by the user.
Portavant 80 automatic 9
Revision 12/2017
All motor-assisted operating modes comply with the definition of low kinetic energy
according to DIN 18650 / EN 16005.
DANGER!
(Risk of crushing/shearing/impact)
The use of radio motion detectors that could theoretically be connected to
the radio receiver (intended for radio push button and remote control) is not
permissible. The use of radio motion detectors has been deliberately omitted
by the manufacturer in order to prevent any adverse effects on the safety
concept described above. Any mention of motion detectors in this document
always refers to the hard-wired connection of one or more motion detectors to
the dedicated terminals provided at the drive unit.
3.4 Collision with obstacles
If a door collides with an obstacle in its travel path, it stops immediately to return to its
opposite end position. Depending on the operating mode, it remains in this end position until
the next impulse is received or it commences another closing motion once the open period
has elapsed. If another collision occurs at the same position, then the door is disabled
(possibly only when it has arrived at its end position). It must then be push-started manually.
This disabling feature prevents the door from repeatedly colliding with the same obstacle.
Should the reversing door, after the initial collision, run into a second obstacle, then the door
will stop and be disabled immediately at this position.
The low kinetic energy mode of the door ensures that static forces do not exceed 67 N.
