GEZE Powerturn update: New level of comfort and safety

Whether in public buildings, accessible areas or high-traffic entrances: the GEZE Powerturn has established itself as a versatile and reliable swing door drive. GEZE is now making it even more powerful with software update 2.1. The multi-award-winning automatic swing door drive now stands out with extended functions for accessibility, greater flexibility in door planning and faster commissioning.

Powerturn impresses in everyday use with its virtually silent and intuitive function. With software update 2.1, manual opening in servo mode has been further optimised. This allows the door to be opened in much the same way as an all-manual door. Thanks to improved control, the door now closes even more quietly – ideal for noise-sensitive environments.

The revised factory settings of the GEZE Powerturn also shorten commissioning time: fabricators now need to make fewer manual adjustments. This simplifies the correct adjustment of the drive. In addition, a hold-open system with the Powerturn F can now also be put into operation without a manual trigger switch. The hold-open function can be released by simply pulling the door leaf. This saves time and materials, and reduces complexity in both planning and execution.

Eliminating the visible manual trigger switch not only ensures a clean aesthetic, but also reduces false alarms. This ensures that automatic opening is available in an emergency. Resetting the drive is now also easier: simply opening the door manually is sufficient to reactivate automatic operation. In addition, the control protects itself in the event of defective electric strikes by detecting and preventing short circuits.

 

Fit for the future

New devices are already being shipped with the latest software. GEZE is making it possible for existing Powerturn systems to benefit from the advantages of the update: the existing software can be flashed to version 2.1 by GEZE Service or a GEZE Service Partner as part of system maintenance on the frames. This allows the performance of previously installed drives to be optimised to make them fit for future requirements.
