Prepare Frame and Door for PUSH Side Installation

Become familiar with operator components and fasteners. It is recommended that components remain in box until installed. Verify there is minimum ceiling clearance for operator installation before proceeding. (Figure 1)

A. Prepare frame for operator.

Verify frame reveal width is 2-5/8"-6-3/4" (67mm-171mm). (Figure 1)

NOTE: If frame reveal is less than 3" (76mm), arm adjusting rod can be field cut to 9-1/2" (241mm) measured from centerline of connecting link bushing assembly.

2. Determine if push or pull and if left hand or right hand installation. (Figure 2)

NOTE: These steps are for PUSH side only.

Frame header MUST be flat / without twists. Backplate of operator can be used as reference.

NOTE: If frame is not flat or is twisted, an additional steel back plate or shimming is required. Failure to mount unit properly can result in improper function of operator.

• Using detailed template on page 15, prepare four (4) holes for 1/4-20 machine screws or 14 x 2-3/4" wood screws. Blind rivet nut (by others) is suggested for unreinforced hollow metal or aluminum frames. (Figure 3)
• For concealed mounted conduit (if applicable): Prepare two (2) 7/8" (22mm) diameter holes for conduit, for power input and for switch/ sensor wires.

NOTE: On new construction, these holes will generally be drilled by frame supplier at their shop or at time-of-install.

Door Opening Angle	Dim B
Up to 110°	15-3/4" (400mm)
111° to 170°	13-1/4" (337mm)

Figure 3 Left Hand Shown

B. Prepare door for arm assembly.

1. Using template on page 15, locate and prepare two (2) 3/8" (9.5mm) holes in door for sex bolts. (Figure 4)

NOTE: Standard units are supplied with sex nuts and bolts for 1-3/4" (44mm) thick door. Sex nuts and bolts for other door thicknesses are available to order.

Install Operator

A. Remove cover from unit and set cover and screws aside.

B. Mount unit to frame. (Figure 5)

NOTE: Select Concealed or Surface option.

• Connect conduit to frame side of backplate.
• Secure unit to frame with four (4) 1/4-20 x 1" FHMS or #14 x 2-3/4" FHSM screws.

• Secure unit to frame with four (4) 1/4-20 x 1" FHMS or #14 x 2-3/4" FHSM screws.
• Mount conduit bracket (found in screw pack) to unit backplate with four (4) provided screws.
• Connect wiring conduit to bracket.

OR

Install Arm

A. Mount forearm shoe to door.

1. Using previously prepared holes in door, install two (2) 1/4-20 x 1-5/8" screws through shoe and into sex bolts. (Figure 6)

B. Install main arm to operator.

1. Insert main arm onto pinion shaft of unit at 90° angle to frame. (Figure 7)

NOTE: Align arm mark "S" with flat corner of pinion shaft square. (Figure 8)

2. Secure main arm to pinion with 1/4-20 x 1/2" flange head screw.

Figure 7 View from ceiling looking downward

C. Preload arm.

• 1. Open door.
• 2. Remove 1/4-20 hex head screw on forearm adjusting rod. (Figure 9)
• 3. Insert adjusting rod into adjusting tube. (Figure 9)
• 4. Reinstall 1/4-20 screw and leave loose.
• 5. Rotate main arm in direction away from hinge edge until adjusting rod and tube are perpendicular (at 90° angle) to frame.
• 6. Tighten 1/4-20 hex head screw on adjusting rod to secure arm in this new position.

Adjustments

A. Adjust mechanical closer features.

NOTE:

• • Make necessary mechanical adjustments so unit functions as a standard surface mounted door closer before adjusting spring force, applying power, adding accessories or making electrical/programming adjustments.
• • Refer to table for recommended minimum opening/closing times per ANSI/BHMA A156.19. (Figure 12)
• • Use hex wrench to make adjustments.

Do not remove valves from closer. Hydraulic oil will escape.

• 1. Closing Speed Controls (Figure 10)
  • Valve "S" controls Sweep Range from full open to 10°.
  • Valve "L" controls Latch Range from 10° to closed.
• 2. Opening Cycle (Figure 11)
  • Valve "BC" controls strength of cushioning in Backcheck Range.

NOTE: Too much backcheck can affect operation of unit pump, preventing full open of door. This valve may require fine tuning after all other adjustments have been made.

NOTE:

• • The amount of effort to manually open or close a door is called force and is controlled by the operator's closer spring.
• • Make necessary mechanical adjustments described in "A" above.
• • A closer set to ADA required 5 lbs opening force may not be strong enough to close door due to latching hardware, air pressure, or frame issues.
• 1. Using 1/8" hex wrench, turn power adjustment screw clockwise to increase door closing power. (Figure 13)

NOTE: Door control is shipped set at midpoint of power setting. Maximum closing power can be achieved with 8 (360°) clockwise turns of power adjustment screw.

Backcheck: Adjust backcheck to have minimum opening time to backcheck or 80 degrees (whichever comes first) based on Table.

Closing Time: Adjust latch and sweep to have minimum closing time from 90 degrees to latch check or 10 degrees (whichever comes first) based on Table.

Final Electrical and Mechanical Setup

• 1. Confirm all mechanical adjustments have been made and wiring connected.
• 2. Turn on facility's main circuit breaker.
• 3. Turn on power of operator at On/Off switch. (Figure 16)
• 4. Using a short jumper cable, jump terminals A1 and A2 to activate unit. When door reaches 20°, flip On/Off Switch to "OFF" position cutting power to unit. Allow door to fully close (door may be manually pulled closed).
• 5. Adjust Closed Position Magnet (Figure 17)
  • With door in closed position, use finger to slide Closed Position Magnet so it aligns directly with Reed Switch.
• 6. Adjust Open Position Magnet (Figure 17)
  • Use finger to slide Open Position Magnet 180° from Closed Position Magnet.
• 7. Flip On/Off Switch to "ON" to turn power on.
• 8. Jump terminals A1 and A2 to activate door. Note open position of door. Allow door to close.
• 9. Use finger to readjust Open Position Magnet to desired door open position.
• 10. Repeat Step 7 to verify door open position.
• 11. Make all connections necessary for any accessories to A1, A2, R1, and R2 on terminal strip. See Wiring Section.
• 12. Make necessary adjustments to inverter. See Inverter Details Section.

WARNING: 120VAC power supplied to operator must be a dedicated circuit from the main circuit breaker panel and must NOT be connected into any building lighting system that operates fluorescent lights.

You've now installed the 5500 Operator - PUSH SIDE.
