Ultra High Speed, High Security and
Full Vision - All in One Door.

Take one look at the Spiral® FV® (Full View) door in action and it makes an immediate impression. With an ultra-high opening speed of up to 100 inches per second, it’s extremely fast. Yet for all that speed, its unique Spiral® technology keeps it whisper-quiet. And its top-to-bottom full-width window slats provide a full view for an extra measure of safety at the threshold. Not to mention, a sharp, high-tech look. All of which promote an enviable image of cutting-edge operations.

For modern production and commercial environments with high traffic, the Spiral FV will take your facility’s look and efficiency to a higher plain.

Fast

With an opening speed of up to 100 inches per second, the
Spiral FV improves traffic flow in fast-paced production and warehousing environments.

High Security

An interior door, it also offers the security of a rigid door for applications such as clean rooms and other controlled-access production environments.

Whisper Quiet

With no metal-to-metal contact, the advanced Spiral®
technology offers whisper-quiet operation.

Safety

The top-to-bottom, fullwidth window slats, dual electric photo eyes and reversing edge in the bottom bar provide full visibility and added safety at the threshold.

Smooth Operation

The System 4™ variable frequency drive provides ultra-smooth operation with soft acceleration and braking. And its dynamic braking virtually eliminates the need for brake adjustments and reduces brake
wear.

CONTROLLER

System 4™ Door Controller (Standard)

Incorporating state-of-the-art motion control technology, the System 4 controller combines the flexibility and performance of AC Drive technology with the ease and precision of digital control.

ACTIVATORS

The System 4 door controller is designed to operate with many different types of activators, depending on the application and operating environment.

Floor Induction Loop (Optional)

Activation loops embedded into the concrete on both sides of the doorway substantially reduce operator error in opening and closing doors. With no moving or exposed parts, floor induction loops are extremely reliable.

Motion Detectors (Optional)

Motion detectors operate on microwave technology. They detect pedestrian and vehicle motion in a prescribed area. The detector sends a signal to the controller to open the door.

Presence Sensors (Optional)

Presence sensors detect pedestrians and vehicles in the area of the detector. Motion is not necessary. The sensor signals the controller to open the door.

Radio Controls (Optional)

A radio control consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The vehicle operator activates the transmitter which sends a signal to the receiver. The receiver then signals the controller to open the door.

Push Button (Optional)

The push button is generally used with pedestrian traffic and is typically mounted on the wall near the door. Pedestrians push the button as they approach the door, which signals the door to open.

Pull Cords (Optional)

The pull cords are switches mounted on the ceiling. Pedestrians and vehicle operators pull the cord as they approach the door, signaling the controller to open the door. Vehicle operators generally have to slow down to pull the cord.

Multiple Activators (Optional)

The System 4 door controller permits many activators to be used in multiple combinations. For example, a door can be opened by forklifts through induction floor loops and by pedestrians through a push button, each with independent closing times to allow for pedestrians passing through the door.

Side Frame Options

Optional stainless steel package available.

Electrical Control Options

System 4 controller has programmable inputs and outputs to accommodate special control applications without additional electrical components.

Airlocks

In airlock applications, one controller with various activators permits doors to be interconnected so only one door is open at a time.

Powder Coating

Optional powder coating to RAL standard colors.

Specifications

Subject to change

Model

Rytec® Spiral® FV Door

Standard Size

Up to 26 feet 3 inches wide by 25 feet 7 inches high.
