This is second time round, we booted it first time as the beam interruption times at grade 2 and 3 were draconian to say the least, all the other requirements you would expect at grade 2 and 3 are included, the interruption times are now more sensible meaning that existing external product can be used interanally and still comply. You could argue that a shorter interruption time would be acceptable internally due to the reduced risk of false alarms from typical external factors. However it would have meant that no product would be available at the time of publication, the reality is also that as with all standards the requirements are the minimum and manufacturers who want an edge should and probably will try and exceed the requirements to give themselves a competitive sales argument.

All in all now I think it is a good standard from a product performance POV, however it still has some editorial issues that will need sorting.

As long as it gets through the vote and comment period this time still be next year before we see it, and then needs to go into PD6662 before we can use it in the UK.

Back on to roller contacts, we sometimes use a metal bracket to get the magnet close enough to the contact. It also gives some vertical adjustment.

 

Some modern domestic roller doors are sectional (each section roughly 3-4" high) and double skined ali extrusion and for these we drill the inner only and pop rivit the magnetic on. No external visible fixings then, sorry no photo for that.

I'd have put the magnet horizontal and the contact closer.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
