Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated to a national adoption is optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,see clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards.

Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in Standards Actionentitled "American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standardsmaintained under the continuous maintenance option. To view information about additional standards for which a PINS has been submitted and tosearch approved ANS, please visit www.NSSN.org, which is a database of standards information. Note that this database is not exhaustive.

Directly and materially affected interests wishing to receive more information or to submit comments are requested to contact the standards developerdirectly within 30 days of the publication of this announcement.

1. Addition of Requirements for Wireless Safety Edges

PROPOSAL

30.2.1 An wired or wireless connected external entrapment protection device provided with, or as an accessory to, a commercial/industrial door operator (or system) shall consist of:

a) A contact type sensor (edge sensor or equivalent) installed on the leading edge of the door that when activated causes an operator closing a door to reverse direction of the door and prevents an operator from closing an open door, or

Exception: During the process of closing a door in response to a fire condition, commercial/industrial door operators (systems) are not required to comply with this provision.

b) A non-contact type sensor (photoelectric sensor or equivalent) that when activated causes an operator closing a door to reverse direction of the door and prevents an operator from closing an open door, or


c) If using a wireless connection, the wireless device must use active communication between the wireless sub module and wireless main module as mandatory for communication. Any loss of communication causes an operator closing a door to reverse direction of the door and prevents an operator from closing an open door, or


cd) Any other device that provides entrapment protection equivalent to items (a) or (b).

30.2.2 For a commercial/industrial wired door operator to comply with 30.2.1, it shall monitor for the presence and correct operation of the entrapment protection device including the wiring or wireless connection to it, at least once during each close cycle. For the wireless communication, the connection itself must be monitored during the full close cycle. Should the device not be present, or a fault condition occur that precludes the sensing of an obstruction, including an open or short circuit in the wiring that connects the external entrapment device to the operator, loss of wireless communication that prevent information from the external entrapment protection device to the operator or and the device's supply source, the operator shall function in one of the following conditions:


a) A closing door shall open to the full open position or the user-defined normal open position and an open door shall not close for a period of more than 1 second from the initiation of the run, or

Exception: The door operator is not required to return the door to the full open position when an alternate entrapment protection system senses an obstruction or a control is actuated to stop the door during the upward travel.

b) Shall function as described in 30.1.1 (a).

31.1.7 A gate operator installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions utilizing entrapment protection designated Types B1 and B2 in Table 31.1 as the primary device to comply with 31.1.1 by having provision for connection of such device, or providing such device with the operator, shall monitor for the presence and correct operation of the device, including the wiring or wireless connection to it, at least once during each open and close cycle. For the wireless communication, the connection itself must be monitored during the full close cycle. The operator shall function as required by 31.1.15 in the event the device is not present or a fault condition occurs which precludes the sensing of an obstruction. A fault condition includes an open or short circuit in the wiring that connects the external entrapment protection device to the operator, loss of wireless communication that prevent information from the external entrapment protection device to the operator or and the device's supply source.
