Introduction to the CDVI DIGIWAY SR EN16005 Compliance Kit
EN16005-KIT-U-SRis a purpose-built compliance kit for single swing doors designed around the CDVI DIGIWAY SR (DWSR102U) spring-return operator. The kit brings together the operator, door-leaf presence sensors, hinge-line finger-guard, clear EN16005 signage and commissioning tools to support safe, robust operation of public and higher-traffic entrances. It is intended for applications where EN16005 compliance and fire-rated functionality are priorities — for example care homes, hospitals, public buildings and high-use commercial entrances.
Key features at a glance:
- Spring-return operator:DWSR102U DIGIWAY SR with universal arm for in-swing or out-swing installation and 60-minute fire-rating (EN1634-1).
- Presence detection:Two DWSSS-5M1 infrared door-leaf sensors to protect the moving door danger zone.
- Hinge-line protection:2032 mm finger-guard (white or black) to reduce pinch/finger hazards.
- Signage:Self-adhesive EN16005 labels (Automatic Door and Keep Clear).
- Commissioning tools:LCD menu and Bluetooth configuration via the DIGIWAY BLE app for fast setup and adjustment.
- Warranty:2-year manufacturer warranty for peace of mind.
Detailed specifications and benefits
The EN16005-KIT-U-SR is not just a box of components — it is a coordinated package where each item is selected to assist compliance and to simplify installation and commissioning. Below is a closer look at the core components, their specifications and the practical benefits they deliver.
- Mains:230 V AC — compatible with standard building supplies in most regions.
- Fire rating:60 minutes (EN1634-1) — suitable for many fire-rated door assemblies (verify with the door manufacturer and local regulations).
- Cycle life:High-duty design; manufacturer lists approximately 1,700,000 cycles, making it appropriate for high-traffic locations.
- Programming:On-board LCD menu plus Bluetooth via DIGIWAY BLE app for convenient remote commissioning and adjustments.
- Transmitter memory:Stores up to ~50 transmitters depending on the model variant.
- Operating temperature:Approximately −10 °C to +55 °C.
- IP rating & dimensions:Typically IP22 (variant dependent) and dimensions around 685 × 90 × 110 mm; weight approx. 10.5 kg. Check the datasheet for exact variant specifications.
Benefits: The DIGIWAY SR provides reliable motorised operation while meeting fire-rated requirements. Bluetooth programming and an LCD simplify set-up and parameter tuning on site, reducing commissioning time. The high cycle life means lower lifetime maintenance costs in busy locations.
- Technology:Infrared static presence detection with six detection spots.
- Detection range:0–2.5 m (open field, with angular adjustment).
- Supply:12–24 V DC — check wiring and consumption in the sensor datasheet.
- Environmental rating:IP54 and operating temperatures between −20 °C and +60 °C.
- Dimensions:Approx. 700 × 49 × 45.5 mm.
Benefits: These door-leaf sensors monitor the area close to the moving leaf, reducing the risk of trapping or impact during operation and helping meet EN16005 detection expectations. Their IP54 rating makes them suitable for many internal and semi-protected external applications.
- Finger-guard:2032 mm hinge-line guard available in white (DWS-FGW) or black (DWS-FGB). Designed to mitigate hinge-line entrapment hazards and support EN16005 compliance.
- Signage:Two Automatic Door and two Keep Clear self-adhesive labels sized approximately 150 × 150 mm for clear user information.
Benefits: Physical guarding and clear signage are straightforward risk-control measures. They reduce injury risk and make doors safer and more user-friendly, particularly for vulnerable users.
- Packaged compliance:By grouping the operator and required safety elements, the kit reduces the risk of missing essential components during procurement.
- Professional installation:While the kit provides the parts, professional installers are recommended for correct mounting, wiring, and EN16005 commissioning checks.
- Warranty & support:2-year manufacturer warranty and CDVI’s technical resources aid long-term reliability.
Use cases and scenarios where the kit excels
The EN16005-KIT-U-SR is designed for situations where safety, reliability and code compliance intersect. Typical environments where this kit is an excellent fit include:
- Care homes and assisted living facilities:Frequent use by residents and staff, plus a focus on safety for users with limited mobility or cognitive impairment.
- Healthcare settings:Smaller clinics, GP surgeries and specialist outpatient entrances where fire-rated doors and safe automatic operation are necessary.
- Public and municipal buildings:Libraries, community centres and government offices that require EN16005 risk management and clear signage for users.
- Retail and hospitality back-of-house or staff doors:Where controlled automatic operation and durability matter under frequent use.
- Retrofits to existing fire-rated door assemblies:The spring-return design helps reinstate door closability and fire performance where an automatic operator is required but the door must return to a closed position.
In short, the kit excels wherever a single swing door needs reliable automatic operation, high cycle durability, and features to help meet EN16005 obligations.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
When choosing an EN16005 compliance solution, installers and specifiers often weigh up integrated kits like this versus sourcing components individually or selecting alternative operator types. Key comparison points:
- Spring-return vs. standard operators:The DIGIWAY SR’s spring-return mechanism is specifically tailored for doors that must return to a closed position — a major advantage for fire-rated doors. Standard non-spring operators will not necessarily re-close a leaf if power is lost and may not be appropriate for certain fire-door assemblies.
- All-in-one kit vs. component sourcing:Purchasing as a kit reduces the likelihood of missing safety items (sensors, finger-guard, signage) and ensures component compatibility. Sourcing piecemeal can sometimes save on upfront cost but increases project risk and procurement time.
- Brand and feature comparisons:Competing manufacturers may offer similar fire-rated operators and sensors, but the DIGIWAY SR distinguishes itself with Bluetooth commissioning via the DIGIWAY BLE app and a comprehensive transmitter memory. Price and warranty terms also vary; buyers should compare cycle life, fire-rating certification, IP ratings and after-sales support.
- Outdoor suitability:The DIGIWAY SR typically has an IP22 rating, so it is best suited to internal or sheltered locations. For fully exposed external doors, higher IP-rated operators may be preferable.
Overall, the EN16005-KIT-U-SR is a strong option where fire-rated operation, packaged compliance and simple commissioning are priorities. For fully external installations or specialized access control integrations, other operator variants or higher IP-rated systems may be considered.
Customer perspectives and installer feedback
While individual experiences vary by project, common feedback themes from installers and facility managers for kits of this type include:
- "The Bluetooth commissioning and LCD menu saved significant time on site — adjustments could be made quickly without repeated wiring changes."
- "Having sensors, signage and finger-guard included in one kit removed the need for multiple purchase orders and simplified compliance checks."
- "The spring-return design gave confidence when specifying for fire-rated doors — it allowed us to keep automatic operation without compromising door closure."
Note: These quotes are representative of typical installer and user priorities and reflect common benefits reported for coordinated EN16005 kits. For project-specific references, request site examples or case studies from the supplier.
Conclusion: why choose the EN16005-KIT-U-SR?
