General Information

Operation:

The Low Energy Operator can be configured in three variations to meet the standards:

• 1. Push plates, Wave-to-open switches, etc. are available to activate the operator.
• 2. Push & Go can be enabled. In this mode, your door is pushed (or pulled) slowly 15° manually, and then automatically opens to full open position.
• 3. Door can be used as a manual door. The door will work and act like a standard door closer, with or without power, when pushed or pulled open manually. If Push & Go is enabled and door is opened quickly, door will function as a manual door (energy save feature). Push plates are still active.

If desired, overhead presence devices can be provided for an extra level of protection. Consult local authority having jurisdiction. These are not required by current ANSI/BHMA A156.19 standards.

Opening:

When an opening signal is received by the control unit, the door opens to the fully open position. The open position is held by the motor and is adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. If the door is obstructed while opening, the door will stop; the operator will sense obstruction (obstruction time is adjustable from 0 to 5 seconds) and the door will close.

NOTE: Door must be visible by person operating activation switch(es). Auxiliary door stop (by others) required.

Closing:

When the hold open time has elapsed, the door closer will close the door automatically. The door will slow to low speed at latch before it reaches the fully closed position. The door is kept closed by spring force of the closer. If the door is obstructed while closing, the door will stop against the obstruction; the operator will sense obstruction and reopen to fully open position after obstruction time has been reached. Once the hold open time has elapsed a second time, the door closer will close the door automatically. If the door is obstructed during this second closing cycle, the door will stop and rest against the obstruction using only the force of the closer spring. To reset, allow door to fully close and re-activate push plates to test operation.

Infinite Hold Open:

An optional feature to be used if door is desired to be held open for more than 30 seconds.

Set selector mode switch on underside of union assembly to hold open. Door will immediately begin to open to the fully open position. Once door is fully open, brake on end of motor energizes holding door in open position. To release from hold open, if door is set up for executive operation (see Programming Instructions, document #80-9360-1043-020 for executive wiring instructions), door can be closed with activation device. A pull on the door will also allow the unit to be taken out of hold open. Once door has closed, the door will reopen to fully open position unless activation device is pressed or selector mode switch is changed from hold open position.

NOTE: Door must be visible by person operating activation switch(es). Auxiliary door stop (by others) required.

WARNING: Make sure (120V, 60Hz) input power is turned OFF at facility's main circuit breaker before proceeding with installation.
