DC5230, DC5230 x A1 Series DC5240, DC5240 x A1 Series Cam Action Slide Track Door Closers
ASSA ABLOY
The closing force for Series DC5000 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 Pages 2 and 3 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.
NOTE: For special applications a separate door and frame preparation template is packed with these instructions. Use this instruction sheet for installation sequence and closer adjustments only.
• Use of an auxiliary door stop is always recommended.

DC5000 Models are fully adjustable. For proper sizing see chart on Page 2 or 3. To adjust closer power – See Figure 2. Increase or decrease power as necessary.
- 2. Closing Cycle (hydraulic control) See Figure 3A. Valve "L" controls door speed in Latch range. Valve "C" controls door speed in Sweep range. Use 4mm hex-key furnished & adjust as shown in Figure 4.
- 3. Opening Cycle (hydraulic control) See Figure 3B. Valve cushions (slows) door opening in the backcheck range.
Note: Never close this valve completely or damage to closer may occur.
Use 4mm hex-key furnished & adjust as shown in Figure 5.
4. Installation of Cover :
Architectural plastic cover: Slide cover over the closer and snap on.
On/Off Hold Open Feature :
Slotted screw, accessible thru hole in face of track, engages or disengages the hold open feature with 1/4 turn of the screw. See Page 1 for location of screw.
Hold Open Power Adjustment :
If more hold open power is required, the power may be increased by turning the adjustment shaft in the end of the track nearest the hinges. Use 9/64" hex wrench provided and rotate adjustment shaft clockwise to increase holding power.
