I'm an electrical designer working on a hotel project that has a planned garage door installation over the indoor/outdoor pool. The door type can be found here http://www.renlitadoors.com/.
I've dug into the IBC and NEC but cannot find any specific requirements for this type of installation.
The sides of the garage door are approximately 1' from the inside water edge of the pool. The door operator will be mounted around 10' above the water surface on one side of the door. The door operator has an AC to DC controller remote mounted with DC wiring to a DC motor mounted at the top of one side of the door. The operator can be found here http://www.zap-uk.com/products/high...igh-power-commercial-sectional-door-operator/.
My questions are:
Is it code compliant to have a DC motor within the dimensions mentioned above?
Do I need to show a disconnect switch ahead of the AC to DC controller?
The door company representative says photo-eye type sensors are required for the installation. These are normally mounted at 6" A.F.F.. This would put them within grabbing distance from within the pool. The sensors operate on 6V DC and are NEMA 4X rated, but I'm having a hard time imagining they would be OK installed this close to the pool?
I am aware there will also be a lot of Equipotential Bonding to do. However, I'm not sure how to bond the garage door itself since it is not a "fixed metal part". Any ideas?
