TRADE FAIR REPORT FOR PUBLICATION
(Abstract of the BAU press kit)
Leonberg, 14th January 2013
GEZE at the BAU 2013 in Munich from 14th to 19th January 2013
GEZE in motion since 1863. The jubilee motto stands for 150 years of motion. For one and a
half centuries, GEZE, with its products and systems, has been setting in motion doors,
windows and not least technologies which have had a major influence on building
technology.
Motion and innovative strength stand for the system character of GEZE products as
complete solutions from a single source. They fulfil individual requirements for doors and
windows in complex systems. Motion and the system philosophy of GEZE products are
symbolised by the architecture and the design of the trade fair booth. Round elements which
– when joined – form a circle. An automatically rotating circular platform in the centre of the
booth serves as one of the communication areas. In addition, everlasting motion is
symbolised by a fascinating "water wall".
The presentation of the products using the very latest media technology is as innovative as
the products themselves. There are QR codes on the touch screens near the exhibits and in
the GEZE fair brochure, allowing visitors to view product features and technical data on their
smartphones. You will find an overview of the highlights of the fair presentation below.

Door Technology
The entire TS 5000 freeswing door closer range and the integrated freeswing door
closer GEZE Boxer EFS for single and double-leaf doors have been further developed in
terms of both technology and design. A new feature is that the free-swing door closers can
now be used on barrier-free fire protection doors up to the high closing force size EN 6 and
on door leaves up to 1400 millimetres wide. The new hold-open function, which can also be
retrofitted, permits the door to be slightly fixed at the end of the freeswing area without
affecting the closing function in the event of a fire.
With the compact Levolan 60 sliding door system, GEZE has created a new elegant
solution to design easy-to-use, manual sliding doors for interior use. The new draw-in
damping SoftStopDuo now allows double-sided damping even of slim door leaves.
SoftStopDuo can also be used for the sliding door systems Rollan, Perlan and Levolan 150.
The new Levolan 60 Smart fix installation system makes the installation of Levolan 60 fast
and straightforward.
Automatic Door Systems
"Invisible" barrier freedom and convenient passage are provided by the new integrated
swing door drive ECturn Inside. Its small dimensions allow it to be integrated into the door
leaf of internal doors. The ECturn Inside does not affect door design and opens and closes
high-quality doors automatically and "invisibly". The new automatic revolving door system
TSA 325 NT RC2 provides burglar resistance tested in accordance with EN without
downgrading the look. The innovative GEZEconnects software and rapid Bluetooth radio
transmission mean that the automatic sliding, swing and revolving door systems from GEZE
can be programmed and maintained both simply and efficiently.
RWA and Window Technology
GEZE is presenting a new generation of chain drives. The drives ECchain, Slimchain,
Powerchain and the E 920 - E 990 series are the response to modern building technology
requirements, because every drive corresponds to quite special usage requirements.
Together with the respective locking drives E 905 / E 906 and Power lock, they form a
complete product family in the consistent GEZE design. The Slimchain, Powerchain, E 920 E 990 series and spindle drive E 250 NT have been equipped with the very latest control
technology. This allows the drives to be adapted precisely to various requirements in
ventilation and RWA modes. The control technology offers the basis for networking several
windows in one façade, thus allowing the implementation of intelligent window controls.

Glass Systems
Partition wall systems made of glass create an open and transparent room design. The
Pendulo System allows the realisation of generous double-action doors as well as of
fanlights and fixed panels. The new configuration tool developed for the Pendulo System
significantly simplifies project planning and processing as well as ordering. Only few
specifications are necessary to configure automatically the required glass system together
with the system components lists and all related drawings.
Safety Systems
The GEZE SecuLogic access control system has been extended by two optional interface
solutions: the Alarm Unit GCAU 200 combines access control with a building's alarm
technology. The activation and deactivation of alarm systems can thus take place through
the access control system. Controlled access via building lifts is possible using the new
relay module GCOC 8 as a lift control unit. The relay module can be used to organise and
allocate authorisation for using lifts and thus authorisation for accessing individual floors.
The anti-panic lock IQ lock AUT is a multifunctional system solution for full panic doors
with automatic door leaves on both sides. This means that both active and fixed leaves
can be unlocked by a motor drive. Due to the full panic function, both door leaves can be
unlocked mechanically at the same time in an emergency by pressing the panic bar. After
passage through the door, the mechanical self-locking feature becomes active, locking the
door quickly and securely. The automatic unlocking feature makes the system extremely
flexible. In combination with double-leaf swing door drives, the IQ lock AUT safely opens
both door leaves even where multiple requirements such as barrier-free passage, access
control and the function as RWA fresh air opening are made on emergency exit doors.
Building Systems
GEZE rounds off the presentation of its system expertise with the GEZE building system for
door, window and safety technology. The system can be used for actuation, servicing and
parameter setting. A universal interface allows communication of the building system with
all standard bus systems used in building system technology, and thus the quick and
simple networking of the GEZE building system with higher-order building management
systems. With the help of the GEZE Cockpit App, users can remotely visualise and operate
the state of the windows and doors connected to the building system.
