FAAC XBO System: Revolutionising Emergency Safety for Automatic Doors

In any modern facility, ensuring a safe and swift evacuation during emergencies is paramount. With increasing reliance on automatic sliding door entrances, traditional solutions can sometimes fall short of meeting both safety and efficiency demands. The FAAC XBO Emergency Breakout System is designed to change that, providing a comprehensive, compliant, and easy-to-use solution that redefines safety standards for escape routes.

A New Standard in Safety

The FAAC XBO system is engineered to meet EN 16005 certification requirements—an essential standard for escape routes featuring breakout systems. Its design is centred around rapid, reliable performance when it matters most:

• Quick Re-arming: An adjustable magnetic hook allows staff to reset the doors quickly and effortlessly, without needing specialised technicians. This means that in the wake of an emergency, your facility can be secured and returned to normal operation in no time.
• Dual Mechanical Safety: With a double mechanical safety contact, the system ensures that the automation stops immediately in an emergency, eliminating any risk of malfunction when every second counts.
• Secure Retraction: A dedicated parachute cable secures the semi-fixed leaf to the structure, preventing any accidental movements and ensuring that every part of the system functions as intended.

These features collectively ensure that the FAAC XBO system not only meets regulatory standards but also surpasses expectations for emergency readiness.

Efficiency Meets Ease of Use

Beyond safety, the FAAC XBO system is designed for practical, day-to-day efficiency:

• Adjustable Breakout Force: The system’s retractable magnetic blocks allow the breakout force on all four leaves to be precisely adjusted. This customisation ensures that the doors can be reset quickly and securely, even by staff without specialised training.
• Ultra-Silent Operation: With a dedicated sliding floor guide engineered for smooth and silent movement, the XBO system enhances user experience by minimising noise—ideal for environments like hospitals and offices.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: By simplifying the reset process and eliminating the need for frequent technician interventions, the FAAC XBO system reduces both downtime and ongoing maintenance expenses.

These operational benefits not only improve emergency preparedness but also contribute to long-term cost savings and streamlined facility management.

Design That Complements Your Environment

Aesthetics and functionality go hand-in-hand with the FAAC XBO system:

• Customisable Aesthetics: The system offers customisable metal plates, ensuring that the breakout system can be harmoniously integrated into the existing design of your entrance. This means you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety.
• Seamless Integration: The FAAC XBO is compatible with both TK35 and TK50 series profiles and integrates flawlessly with FAAC automation systems like the A1000 and A1400. It’s a complete solution that meets the demands of modern facilities—from bustling airports to serene hospital corridors.

The attention to design detail makes the FAAC XBO not just a safety solution, but a smart architectural enhancement that enhances the overall user experience.
