Usage
The Upgrade Card Professional for Dorma ED 100 and ED 250 is designed to expand the functional range of automatic drives for hinged doors in commercial, healthcare, or public environments where specific door control features are required.
Advantages
- Enables advanced door management functions such as nurse-bed mode and flip-flop (permanent open) operation[9][7].
- Allows extended hold-open times up to 180 seconds, accommodating a wide range of access scenarios[4][9].
- Simplifies installation—functions are activated by simply inserting the card into the drive control unit; no external wiring required[3][9].
- Supports both single- and double-leaf swing doors, increasing operational flexibility[1][4].
- The card’s specific features require authorized installer access, which may limit DIY upgrades for some users[4].
Specifications
- The card uses Dorma's modular technology—simply insert into a designated slot on the operator’s control unit; communication between card and system is automatic via built-in interface[3][5].
- The combined system conforms with standards such as DIN EN16005 for automatic pedestrian doors and provides compliance options relevant to fire protection when used with other upgrade modules[3][5].
- Compatible with all ED 100/ED 250 operators; supports extended hold-open time up to a programmable maximum of 180 seconds (standard system: up to 30 seconds)[4][9]. Other performance parameters depend on base operator settings.
- Differentiating features include nurse-bed function (optimized passage width for hospital beds), flip-flop permanent open mode via pushbutton or key switch signal input, partial opening functionality for double-leaf systems, impulse relay support, and status indication LEDs on the module itself[7][9].
How it works
The Upgrade Card Professional is inserted directly into the compatible Dorma ED100 or ED250 drive unit. Once installed, it automatically activates advanced software-based functions such as prolonged hold-open periods or specialized passage modes without additional wiring or configuration steps by end-users.
