Product Safety Warnings

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury to person, use this operator only with Pedestrian Swing doors. FOR INDOOR USE ONLY

• 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
• 2. Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating improperly could cause severe injury. Have qualified service personnel make repairs to any hardware before installing the operator.
• 3. Remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically and/or electrically interlocked to the power unit) that are connected to the door before installing the operator.
• 4. Do not connect the door operator to the source power until instructed to do so.
• 5. Never let children operate or play with door controls. Keep remote control (when provided) away from children.

• 6. Personnel should keep away from a moving door in motion.
• 7. Test door's safety features at least once a month. After adjusting either force or limit of travel, retest door operator's safety features. Failure to adjust operator properly may cause severe injury or death.
• 8. KEEP DOOR PROPERLY OPERATING. See Door Manufacturer's Owner's Manual. An improperly operating door could cause severe injury or death. Have a trained door systems technician make repairs.
• 9. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Installation

A. Mount backplate.

• 1. Determine right hand or left hand installation. (Figure 1)
• 2. Measure and mark first mounting hole according to template. (Figure 2)
• 3. Attach backplate to frame with screw. Do not fully tighten screw at this time.

For Metal Frames:

Use #7 drill and 1/4-20 tap for 1/4-20 machine screws.

For Wood Frames:

Use 3/16" drill and supplied screws for self drilling, self tapping screws.

• 4. Ensure backplate is level and aligned with door frame. (Figure 3)
• 5. Using backplate as guide, mark and drill second hole. (Figure 3)
• 6. Insert second screw and tighten both screws.
• 7. Using backplate as a guide, drill and tap remaining eight (8) holes in frame. (Figure 3)
• 8. Secure with eight (8) screws and tighten.

Remaining 8 Holes 2nd Hole

B. Mount forearm with shoe.

• 1. Measure and mark door for first forearm shoe mounting hole using template. (Figure 4)
• 2. Drill hole.

OR

• a. For reinforced doors, drill and tap holes with #7 drill and 1/4-20 tap.
• b. For wood doors or self-drilling screws, use 3/32" drill.
• c. For sleeve nuts and bolts, see illustration. (Figure 5)
• 3. Mark and drill second hole using forearm shoe as template.
• 4. Secure forearm to door. (Figure 6)

Figure 5

C. Install end caps.

• 1. Install two (2) screws on each end of backplate leaving about 3/16" gap between head of screw and backplate. (Figure 7)
• 2. Slide end caps behind screw heads and tighten screws. (Figure 7)

NOTE: End cap with 3-position switch is always located on conduit side of backplate.

NOTE: To retrofit closer assembly to an existing operator, screws and fan inside of end cap must be removed.

D. Install closer body assembly.

• 1. Using four (4) screws, install closer body to backplate. (Figure 8) NOTE:
  • y Screws must be tightened in a cross pattern until all four (4) screws are tight. (Figure 8)
  • y Closer body is in proper orientation for PUSH SIDE application when tube is NEAR backplate. (Figure 8)
• 2. Using three (3) supplied cable management clips, secure cables along closer body. (Figure 9)

E. Install power supply assembly.

• 1. Insert two (2) screws. Leave 3/16" gap between head of screw and backplate. (Figure 10)
• 2. Slide power supply key holes over screws allowing narrow slots of key holes to rest on screws. (Figure 10)

NOTE: Narrow slots of key holes are always at top and control board is always at bottom for proper installation. (Figure 10)

• 3. Tighten screws.
• 4. Plug motor and ribbon cables from closer body into power supply. (Figure 11)

NOTE: Use provided zip ties to manage any excess cable between closer and power supply so that cover can be attached without damaging cables. (Figure 11)

5. Connect 3 Position switch on end cap to power supply. (Figure 11)

F. Install main arm.

• 1. Using hex wrench, secure main arm to bottom pinion with 1/4- 20x 1/2" screw. (Figure 12)
• 2. Slide main arm tube onto forearm rod. (Figure 12)

NOTE: If necessary, open door for tube to slide onto forearm.

• 3. With door fully closed, rotate main arm toward latch edge of door until arm tube is at 90° angle (perpendicular) to door. (Figure 13)
• 4. Use arm screw provided with main arm to secure tube to forearm rod. (Figure 13)

G. Adjust closing force.

NOTE: The amount of effort to manually open or close a door is called closing force.

1. Using 1/2" socket wrench with 3/4" deep well socket, turn nut in end of closer body tube to desired force. (Figure 14)

NOTE: Window in closer tube shows spring. (Figure 15)

NOTE: If additional closing force is only required in latching region, see Latch Boost and Lock Release features in separate programming manual 80-9363-0022-020.

H. Attach cover and end cap label plates, and optional dress plate.

NOTE: Attach cover after initial programming has been done. See separate programming manual 80-9363-0022-020.

• 1. Align cut-outs in cover to pinion shafts. (Figure 16)
• 2. Slide cover onto unit using end caps as guides.
• 3. Snap cover securely to back plate.
• 4. Attach a label plate to each end cap by snapping into place by hand with gentle pressure. (Figure 16)

WARNING: Make sure no wiring is loose or can be caught by cover when it is snapped into place.

Installing the Dress Plate

• 1. Align the 6300DPS dress plate so it covers the exposed surface of the closer's backplate.
  • ‒ The slots in the dress plate should line up with the screw holes in the backplate.
  • ‒ The bottom of the dress plate should be flush with the bottom of the backplate.
• 2. Use four (4) 8-32 X 5/16" machine screws to secure the dress plate to the backplate where indicated. (Figure 17)
