Recently, as part of the NABCO automatic door operation training program, Sonha Auto organized a hands-on session on the use and operation of the NABCO GT-1175 folding sliding door system at the Park Hill Times City high-end residential complex. The program was delivered directly to the on-site security team those who interact with and operate the doors daily to ensure the system functions according to design, safely and reliably in all situations.

Standardizing operational procedures for residential buildings through NABCO training
In practice, many incidents related to automatic doors do not stem from equipment failure, but from improper operation or a lack of understanding of how the system works. Especially in high-traffic environments such as residential complexes, where doors operate continuously at high frequency, it is essential that operators possess the appropriate knowledge and skills.
During the training session, Sonha Auto’s technical team provided a systematic guide—from basic operating principles to real-life operating modes. Beyond simply “knowing how to use,” security personnel were trained to understand how the door responds in different scenarios, enabling them to proactively monitor and handle situations when needed.
This approach shifts operations from reactive to proactive, which is a critical factor in ensuring stable system performance, minimizing risks, and extending equipment lifespan.
Understanding the NABCO NSW-A01 sensor for optimized operation
One of the key topics in the training was the introduction of the NABCO NSW-A01 sensor, a crucial component that determines operational accuracy.
This sensor can detect the direction and speed of user movement, allowing the door to open only when there is an actual intention to pass through. As a result, unnecessary door openings are minimized, helping optimize system efficiency—especially important for automatic door systems in residential buildings with constant traffic flow.
Understanding how the sensor works enables operators to better control the system while ensuring smooth and precise door performance in all situations.
Breakout function – flexible expansion of passageways in any situation
In addition to the sensor system, the Breakout function of the cửa trượt NABCO GT-1175 sliding door was also highlighted as a critical solution for handling special scenarios.
Under normal conditions, the door operates in automatic sliding mode. However, when a wider opening is required quickly, the system can switch to Breakout mode, allowing all door panels to swing open and create maximum clearance.
This feature is particularly useful in real-life situations such as moving bulky items, accommodating large crowds, or enabling rapid emergency evacuation. Understanding how to correctly activate and operate the Breakout function is essential not only for operational efficiency but also for ensuring overall building safety.
Hands-on practice to enhance real-world handling skills
A key highlight of the training program was the close integration of theory and on-site practical exercises. Instead of passively receiving information, the security team directly operated the actual door system.
This process helped them not only retain knowledge but also develop reflexes for handling daily operational situations. From observing sensor responses and checking operating modes to practicing Breakout activation, all activities were conducted under the guidance of technical experts.
This hands-on experience significantly improves operational capability, ensuring all actions are performed accurately, quickly, and safely in real-world conditions.
Enhancing resident experience through operational details
For high-end residential developments like Park Hill Times City, resident experience is not only defined by design or amenities but also by everyday operational details—including automatic door systems. A door system that operates smoothly, responds accurately, and maintains stability contributes to a sense of convenience, safety, and professionalism throughout the living environment. Conversely, even minor operational issues can negatively impact user experience.
Through this training session, the operations team has been fully equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the door system consistently performs at its best. This forms the foundation for maintaining service quality and enhancing long-term property value.
