Set up an emergency opening button: Most of today’s fast rolling shutter doors are equipped with an emergency opening button, which is located on the control box at a convenient location for employees to operate. In the event of an emergency, such as fire, earthquake, etc., employees can immediately press the emergency opening button to quickly open the rolling shutter door. The emergency opening button is generally a conspicuous red button. Employees should be trained to understand under what circumstances the emergency opening button can be used and to press the button decisively in the event of an emergency.

Equipped with emergency opening remote control: In addition to the emergency opening button, the rolling shutter door can be equipped with an emergency opening remote control for management personnel to operate. Emergency opening remote controls are generally carried by administrators or security personnel and can be used in emergencies. The remote control should be equipped with security measures such as password or fingerprint recognition to prevent misoperation or unauthorized use.

Set sensors: Rolling shutter doors can be equipped with various sensors, such as smoke sensors, temperature sensors, vibration sensors, etc. These sensors can detect the occurrence of an emergency and automatically trigger the opening of the rolling shutter door. For example, when a smoke sensor detects a fire, the rolling shutter door can automatically open to ensure the safe evacuation of personnel.
Emergency avoidance system: An emergency avoidance system is installed on the rolling shutter door. It can detect the presence of people through sensors or buttons and stop the closing of the rolling shutter door to prevent people from being rolled into the door. The system should be protected against misuse or unauthorized use.

Equipped with backup power supply: Rolling shutter doors should be equipped with backup power supply to cope with emergencies such as power outages. When the power supply is interrupted, the backup power supply can continue to supply power to ensure the normal operation of the rolling shutter door. The battery capacity of the backup power supply should be sufficient to support the operation of the rolling shutter door for a period of time, so that there is enough time for safe evacuation and response in an emergency.

Establish emergency plans: Corresponding emergency plans should be established for different emergency situations. For example, in the event of a fire, the plan should include measures such as timely evacuation of personnel, turning off power, and using emergency avoidance systems. Emergency plans should be drilled and trained frequently to ensure that employees are familiar with operations and responding to emergencies.

In short, solving the problem of opening the fast rolling shutter door in an emergency requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. Setting up emergency opening buttons, equipped with emergency opening remote controls, setting up sensors, installing emergency avoidance systems, equipping backup power sources and establishing emergency plans are several common solutions. These methods should be selected and applied based on specific circumstances and actual needs to ensure that the fast rolling shutter door can be opened quickly and safely in an emergency.
