Command Access CAT EPT 2 AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Command Access CAT EPT Concealed Power Transfer Unit used for?
The CAT EPT provides concealed power transfer for automatic door systems. It transfers electrical power and data signals between the door frame and moving door panel. Common applications include hospitals, offices, and retail spaces requiring reliable automatic door operation.
2) Is this power transfer unit compatible with all automatic door operators?
The CAT EPT is designed for Command Access door systems but may work with other manufacturers. Verify compatibility with your specific operator model before installation. Check voltage requirements, signal types, and mounting specifications to ensure proper fit.
3) How does the concealed power transfer system work?
The system uses electromagnetic induction to transfer power without direct electrical contact. One half mounts to the door frame, the other to the door panel. When aligned, power transfers across the gap to operate locks, sensors, and other door-mounted devices.
4) What voltage and power capacity does this unit handle?
Verify the specific voltage and wattage ratings with the manufacturer specifications. Most commercial power transfer units handle low voltage applications for access control devices. Check your connected device requirements against unit capacity before installation.
5) Does this unit meet building code requirements for automatic doors?
Command Access products typically meet ADA and ANSI standards for automatic doors. Verify current code compliance for your specific application and jurisdiction. Some installations may require additional safety devices or certifications.
6) What components are included with the power transfer unit?
Standard kits include frame-mounted and door-mounted transfer units plus mounting hardware. Some models include wiring harnesses or connection cables. Check the specific part number for complete component listing and verify all required accessories.
7) How is the CAT EPT power transfer unit installed?
Installation requires precise alignment between frame and door components. Mount frame unit first, then position door unit for proper gap spacing. Follow manufacturer alignment templates. Professional installation recommended for critical access control applications.
8) What maintenance does this power transfer system require?
Clean transfer surfaces regularly to remove dirt and debris that can affect power transmission. Check alignment periodically as door settling may create gaps. Verify electrical connections remain secure. No lubrication required for contactless transfer systems.
9) Can the alignment be adjusted after installation?
Most power transfer units allow minor alignment adjustments through slotted mounting holes or adjustment screws. Maintain proper gap spacing per manufacturer specifications. Major misalignment may require remounting one or both components.
10) Are there alternative models for different door configurations?
Command Access offers various power transfer units for different door types and power requirements. Consider swing doors versus sliding doors, power needs, and mounting constraints when selecting alternatives. Browse our automatic door hardware section for compatible options.
11) What door weight and size limitations apply?
Check manufacturer specifications for maximum door weight and dimensions. Power transfer units must maintain proper alignment during door operation. Heavier doors or oversized panels may require additional support or different transfer unit models.
12) How does environmental conditions affect power transfer performance?
Temperature extremes and humidity can affect electronic components. Most commercial units operate in standard HVAC environments. For exterior applications or extreme conditions, verify environmental ratings and consider protective enclosures if specified.
