Abstract
The invention relates to an automatic door and method for controlling an automatic door (), comprising a door controller unit () for controlling a door, acting on a door drive; further comprising a monitoring system () comprising at least two door sensors () mounted on two opposite sides of the door, as seen in passage direction, where each of said sensors () comprises a scanning unit () that monitors a sensor safety area, where a safety signal is applied to the door controller unit upon detection of an object within the sensor safety areas of said sensors. According to the invention after a predefined timespan (TL) of no detection within said sensor safety areas of said sensors, the monitoring system () is set to a 'restricted mode' in which at least one sensor safety area is set to a restricted area, where the safety signal is then provided upon detection of an object within the restricted area, where further, once a detection in the restricted area occurs, the monitoring system is set back to an unrestricted “normal” mode.
