Frequently Asked Questions - ESA 300 Dormakaba

How do I adjust the vertical alignment of the sliding door?

Use the eccentric carrier wheel and anti-riser wheel. Rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with a 5/16" Allen wrench and tighten the hex nuts. Ensure the anti-riser roller does not contact the top track.

How do I clean the glass panels?

Use a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials. For the frame, use mild soap and water. Do not let moisture enter the sensor openings.

What should I do if the door does not open or close automatically?

First, check the power supply and ensure the controller is on. Inspect the safety beams and motion sensors for obstructions. If the door is stuck, check the track for debris and ensure the breakout mechanism is not engaged.

How do I enable the breakout (emergency egress) function?

The breakout function is enabled by default. To release the door, push the sliding panels outward. The roller catch should disengage. If it is too tight, adjust the roller catch tension using a 3mm Allen wrench.

How do I adjust the safety sensors?

Use a BEA Universal Remote Control to adjust sensor settings. Follow the sensor manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the detection zone covers the door opening properly.

How often should I lubricate the rollers?

Lubricate the rollers every 6 months or as needed. Use a silicone-based lubricant. Apply a small amount to the roller bearings and wipe off excess.

What are the error codes on the ESA II controller?

Error codes are displayed on the controller's LED. Common codes include: E1 for sensor fault, E2 for motor overload, E3 for encoder failure. Consult the manual for a full list and troubleshooting steps.

Can I install the ESA 300 door myself?

Installation requires technical expertise and should be performed by a qualified installer. The manual provides detailed instructions, but improper installation may lead to safety hazards and void the warranty.

How do I reset the door after a power outage?

After power is restored, the door will perform a self-calibration cycle. If it does not operate, check the controller for error codes and ensure the sensors are clear. A manual reset may be required by cycling the power.

How do I replace a broken glass panel?

Remove the glass stops on the exterior side. Carefully remove the broken glass. Install a new glass panel of the same thickness, properly block and cushion edges, then press the glass stops back into place.

AdjustmentoftheBreakout-Unit

1. Loosen the set screws (a, b & c) to prevent interference while adjusting door. (7/32" Allen wrench required.)
2. Use the adjustment screw (d) to lift (CW), or lower (CCW), the leading edge of door.
3. Continue adjustment until the re-latch profiles are properly aligned.
4. Tighten all set screws (a, b & c) until tight and secure.

Recheck the latched position alignment and readjust as necessary.

AdjustmentoftheRollerCatch

Align the roller catches as illustrated, using the adjustment screws. (3mm Allen wrench tool required.)

Pay close attention to the disengagement, or breakout force.

Do not exceed ANSI A156.10 standards.

AdjustmentoftheEndStops

End stops are installed at the factory. Adjustments should be made by loosening the bolt and sliding the stop to the appropriate position. Be sure adjustments are made symmetrically to the door opening, while providing proper finger safety perANSIA156.10 Standards. ( 12 " socket or wrench required.)

“SX” and “SO” Panel Breakout Adjustment

1. Open "SX" & "SO" panels to 90°.
2. Move arm stop blocks to engage arm. (1/8" Allen wrench required.)
3. Secure stop blocks.

"SO"InterlockClipAdjustment

① Loosen "SO" interlock clip fasteners.
② Slide interlock clip on "SO" panel, or "SX" panel, as necessary. Correct adjustment prevents the "SO" panel from breaking out when the "SX" panels are closed, but allows the "SX" panels to breakout when closed.
③ Secure all fasteners when doors are properly adjusted. (Phillips screwdriver required.)
