By eliminating brushes—the primary source of friction and wear in traditional motors—the Fluo series offers a significantly longer service life and precise movement control.

The Three Model Variants

The Fluo system is categorized by three mechanical configurations to suit different weight loads and safety requirements:

Core Engineering & Features

• Brushless Technology: Offers extreme silence and high energy efficiency. The motor operates at low speeds, reducing mechanical stress and extending the lifespan up to ten times longer than conventional brushed motors.

• Adaptive Encoder Control: The system continuously monitors the door’s position and resistance. It automatically adjusts speed and force to ensure safety, providing immediate, sensitive obstacle detection that reverses the door upon contact.

• Universal Arm Compatibility: Kits are configurable with various arm types depending on the door’s hinge side and frame geometry:

  • Sliding Arm (Pull/Push): Ideal for installations where space above the door is limited.

  • Articulated Arm (Push): Standard for heavy-duty or exterior-swinging applications.

• Smart Programming: Features an onboard alphanumeric display and simple button interface for adjusting opening angles, hold-open times, and sensitivity profiles without needing specialized software.

• Stable Power Handling: Equipped with “Switch Mode” technology, the operator maintains stable performance even during voltage fluctuations (100–240V AC input).

Standard Kit Components

While contents vary by specific retailer bundles, a professional Fluo automation kit typically includes:

• 1 x Fluo-SW Operator Unit: The main 36V brushless motor and control board assembly.

• 1 x Arm Kit: Choice of Articulated or Sliding (Pull/Push) arm.

• 1 x Electronic Function Selector: Often includes a 3-position rocker or digital transponder key switch to toggle modes (Automatic, Manual, Permanently Open, Exit Only).

• Safety Sensors: Infrared safety beams or presence scanners (EN 16005 compliant) to prevent the door from closing on pedestrians.

• Safety Accessories: Finger guards (hinge-side protection) and warning signage required for public access certification.

While sharing the ultra-quiet, frictionless 36V DC Digital Brushless Motor base of the standard Fluo range, the Fire Rated (Spring) Edition integrates a physical mechanical overhead closure spring. This dual-drive setup guarantees that even during a total building blackout or fire alarm power isolation, the door will automatically close under pure mechanical spring tension, sealing off smoke and fire barriers in compliance with strict life-safety building regulations.

Fire Safety & Regulatory Compliance

• EN 1634-1 Fire Resistance: Fully certified and tested to provide up to 120 minutes (2 hours) of physical fire containment integrity when paired with rated fire door blanks.

• EN 1154 Infrastructure: Meets strict European overhead door closer standards, calibrated natively to an EN4 mechanical closing force profile to guarantee complete latching against positive room pressures.

• EN 16005 Pedestrian Standard: Integrated firmware safely manages closing speeds, forces, and obstacle detection thresholds to eliminate impacts on children, elderly, or disabled users.

Core Innovations & Mechanics

• Motor-Open / Spring-Close Mechanics: Under normal day-to-day operation, the 36V brushless motor handles opening cycles with near-silent, effortless precision. The integrated control panel continuously samples encoder feedback to adjust torque against draft or HVAC air resistance. When closing, the system utilizes a combination of motor braking and physical spring force to guide the door leaf safely into its frame.

• Adjustable Last-Latch Small Spring: The internal chassis features a dedicated secondary mechanical adjustment screw. This allows installers to increase or decrease the closing force over the final 4 degrees of travel, ensuring the door safely overcomes latch-bolt friction to lock tight without slamming.

• Integrated Fire Alarm Interface: The onboard motherboard features a dedicated, normally-closed safety input designed to link directly to a building’s central fire alarm control panel. The moment a fire alarm breaks the circuit, the electrical drive safely steps down, allowing the pre-charged mechanical spring assembly to take full control.

Technical Specifications

Standard Kit Box Contents (Full Fire-Safety Package)

1. 1 x FLUO-SWS3 Brushless Spring Operator: Housed in an extended natural anodized aluminium architectural profile casing with an internal mechanical spring-closer block and digital screen controller.

2. 1 x High-Leverage Transmission Arm: (Selected at order to match structural requirements)

   • Articulated Scissor Arm: For “Push” applications where the operator is mounted on the wall opposite the door swing direction.

   • Sliding Channel Slide-Arm: For “Pull” or flush “Push” applications, maintaining a low-profile aesthetic.

3. 1 x 3-Position Rocker Switch Function Selector: Wall-mounted hardware to toggle between Automatic, Manual (Free-Swing), or One-Way (Exit Only) operation.

4. 1 x Monitored Active Infrared Swing Door Safety Sensor (360mm): To mount directly onto the leaf to protect users on the approach.

5. 1 x Monitored Active Infrared Swing Door Safety Sensor (692mm): Extended-width sensor to protect the opening sweep trajectory of the leaf.

6. 1 x Professional Finger Guard Safety Shield (2000mm): Heavy-duty fabric or rubber roller blind shield to cover the hinge-gap crushing zone.
