Non Hold Open Hold Open Sizing
Series No.* UNI J8300 UNI J8300H 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6
UNI J8301 UNI J8301H Multi-Size 1 thru 6

* These series have a DELAYED ACTION CLOSING option available that is identified with a "DA" suffix to the series number.

The closing force for these series door closers is adjustable from a size 1 to a size 6, as outlined in ANSI Standard A156.4. When these series of door closers are installed and adjusted to conform to ADA reduced opening force requirements (5 lbs max.) for interior doors, they may not have adequate closing

force to reliably close and latch the door. Power adjustments charted on Page 4 are recommended where possible, to ensure proper door control.

CAUTION

An incorrectly installed or improperly adjusted door closer can cause property damage or personal injury. These instructions should be followed to avoid the possibility of misapplication or misadjustment.

  • Always use template covering door-opening-angle desired, correct door-thickness and frame-reveal, and door-hanginghardware being used. Template dimensions in these instructions (page 2) cover frame reveals to 7-3/8" (187mm) in opening with 1-3/4" (44mm) thick doors hung on 4-1/2" (114mm) wide template-hinges (figure 2), 3/4" (19mm) offset-pivots (figure 2) or center-pivots (figure 3).
  • Check hand of door: right or left (see figure 5, page 3). Make sure that door opens the full angle desired and latches without any binding action or interference. Note that holdopen units will require that door swing five (5) degrees past hold-open point, to dead-stop position.
  • It is suggested that sex-nuts and bolts be used to mount arm-foot and to mount closer to flush partitions.
  • Top Jamb Unitrols are supplied with arm rod units according to frame-reveal. An arm number is stamped on the arm rods, as shown on Figures 2 and 3 (page 2).

Installation Sequence

  • Set average-power of multi-size closer. (Series UNI J8301, UNI J8501 ONLY) See Power Adjust chart on Page 1.
  • See Figure 2 or 3 and select template dimensions. Note: Separate template required for other applications. Figure 2: 1-3/4" (44mm) thick door on 4- 1/2" (114mm) wide hinges or 3/4" (19mm) offsetpivots. Figure 3: 1-3/4" (44mm) thick door on centerpivots. Frame reveals and door opening angles as charted; shock absorber will permit five (5) degrees of door travel beyond hold-open position.
  • Locate holes on frame face, stop-side. Four (4) for closer (or drop plate).
  • Locate holes on door. Two (2) for arm-foot.
  • Prepare door and frame for fasteners. See chart "Preparation for Fasteners" (Figure 4). Note: It is recommended to use sex-nuts to fasten arm foot to the door and to fasten the closer body to a flush transom.

  • Mount drop plate, (if used) and closer. Closer power adjustment shaft toward lock edge.
  • Disassemble rod-unit from arm-assembly and install on door. Rod under shock-absorber and closest possible to lock edge (See Figures 1 and 5).
  • Mount main arm onto closer pinion shaft, aligning proper arm mark with pinion flat. Secure with main arm screw. Arm Mark "S" (See Figure 5).
  • Insert connecting rod into slide unit and preload arm. Secure with rod screws. Adjust rod to perpendicular with door. See Figure 5.
  • Adjust closer and install cover. See "Unit Adjustment" on back page.
