DOOR SYSTEM AND MODULE THEREFORE
A door module for use with a door system, and applications thereof, are disclosed. The door module comprises a door frame and a door articulated to the door frame, a touchless door module comprising a door motor assembly, a door locking assembly, a control assembly and a power source. The door motor assembly can be configured for displacing the door between an open position and a closed position, responsive to a door opening signal or a door closing signal, respectively, emitted from the control assembly. The locking assembly can be configured for displacing a locking bolt between a locked position at which it is engageable with a locking strike, responsive to a locking signal emitted from the control assembly, and an unlocked position, responsive to an unlocking signal emitted from the control assembly. The control assembly comprises in some embodiments at least one touchless inside sensor, wherein an entrance signal includes a signal received form the at least one inside touchless sensor, resulting in generating a door closing signal and an occupied signal, and an exit signal received by the at least one inside sensor resulting in generating a door opening signal. The control assembly may further comprise a signaling system configured for emitting noticeable door mode indicia responsive to door parameters.
