TYPE 
D5B CORRIDOR DOOR OPERATOR 
Type D5B Operators are high security, motorized locking 
and operating mechanisms for individual sliding doors not exceeding 450 pounds. 
Drive Type: Roller Chain 
Release Type: Remote Electric, Local Electric and Mechanical 
Security Level: Maximum 
APPLICATIONS 
D5B Operators may be specified for use in safety vestibules, corridors, or entrances 
requiring both remote and local control, together with reliable chain drive. Recommended 
for high-usage entryways or corridors.

 FUNCTIONS 
 
Unit unlocks, opens and locks 
open; or unlocks, closes and deadlocks closed a corridor door. 
 
A door stopped in mid-travel may be opened or closed manually. 
 
Direction of movement of a door may be reversed electrically. In event of blockage, 
a torque limiter slips to prevent motor damage. When obstruction is removed, the 
door will automatically continue movement toward the open or closed position. 
Pressure exerted by a door in travel is factory set to approximately 40 pounds. 
 
In event of power failure, door may be released from a column at the door location 
by use of a paracentric key. The door may the be moved manually to an open position. 
 
NOTE: The same key will operate the door electrically under normal conditions. 
 
 LOCKING 
SYSTEM 
Doors automatically deadlock 
at two points at the rear of the door. Locking components are fully concealed, 
and not subject to inmate tampering. 
 
Local mechanical/electrical control of the door is accomplished 
by an 80 Series lock in an adjacent column. 
 
Note: Door receiver is welded to column and shipped as one assembly. 
 TESTING 
 
D5B Operators have been thoroughly 
function tested, and have been in service since 1978. Folger Adam Security Inc. 
has established testing criteria for this system at 500,000 cycles. 
 STANDARD 
FEATURES 
- Motor voltage - 120VAC
 
-  Rugged chain drive - Roller chain provides sure action of 
the door under a variety of conditions and installation variables. 
 
- Heavy duty construction - D5B Operators are ruggedly built 
for the detention environment. 
 
- Tamper resistance - Openings in housing are baffled to preclude 
inmate tampering. 
 
- Adjustable torque limiter - Absorbs start up and closing shocks 
by isolating motor. Allows pressure exerted by the motor to be set to the needs 
of an individual door. Adjustment is provided to compensate for various sizes 
and weights of doors. 
 
- Sloped top housing - Eliminates hiding of contraband. Flat 
top housing is provided where unit must install close to ceiling. 
 
- Automatic locking - Doors automatically lock at two points. 
 
- Indication switch - Monitors deadlocked condition, of both 
locking points. 
 
- Meets NFPA 101 Life Safety Code 
 
- Remote, electric unlocking - Each door is controlled by a three-position 
switch OPEN-OFF-CLOSE. 
 
- Local electric key operation - Use of a paracentric key at 
the door column activates an electrical circuit opening the door. Turning the 
key one-quarter turn to the right opens the door; returning the key to center 
position closes the door. 
 
- Emergency mechanical unlocking - In event of power failure, 
prison paracentric key unlocks the door with a full 180° turn. Door is then 
moved manually. 
 
 
 OPTIONAL 
FEATURES  
 
- Interlocking - Wiring and adaptations may be made to permit interlocking of 
two or more doors in a sallyport or vestibule application. Prevents electric operation 
of any other interlocked door. 
 
-  Custom graphic consoles - In many cases, corridor operators are merely one 
part of a complete security system. For larger installations, or those with particular 
needs, custom-built consoles may be easily provided with floor plan graphics screened 
on the control panel, and an array of specialized features.
