A Practical Guide: Code Compliant Restroom Applications

Restroom doors increasingly require automatic operators in a wide variety of buildings. The access of washrooms for people with disabilities is a prime concern for building managers; the automatic door industry has responded with new technologies specifically designed to maximize the effectiveness of automatic restroom door applications.

Camden Door Controls has created a practical guide for equipment specifiers and system installers, to help you optimize your automatic restroom door applications. The guide is entitled, "Code Compliant Control of Automatic Doors in Restroom Applications".

Below, you will find a summary of each section in the guide.

Summary of Codes

Restroom applications must comply with a variety of standards and codes. Barrier-free access to buildings and restrooms is mandated across North America.

In the U.S.A., buildings must meet ADA and ANSI standards, along with the requirements of the individual state. In Canada, the National Building Code forms the basis for all provincial building codes, making Canadian requirements for automatic doors fairly consistent across the country.

Restroom Control System Components

This section provides a list of each of the control, activation, and annunciation components that can be used in restroom applications. Camden provides information on each component, and outlines which restroom control kits are available for each design option.

Restroom Control Applications

Starting with basic system design and ending with systems that include multiple entry doors and an "Assistance Required" notification, this section delivers a full range of system design options for washroom door control. It also lists which components could be used to achieve each option.

Project Specifications

Each bathroom control system is accompanied by a complete set of product specifications. Instructions obtaining copies of these are found in the guide.

Point to Point Wiring Diagrams

The final section of the guide gives point to point wiring diagrams, using the CX-33 Advanced Logic Control Relay and CX-EMF-2 Multi-Function Relay.

This guide is an excellent overview of bathroom control applications, and is a handy guide for choosing the right set of products for your next restroom project.
