IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce the risk of death or serious injury to
persons:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING!
– Components under extreme spring tension can cause death or serious injury.
2. Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating improperly could
cause death or serious injury. Trained door systems technicians make all necessary adjustments
and repairs to the door before installing the operator.
Note: Fire door spring tension must be adjusted per the manufacturer’s installation instructions to
allow for automatic closing during a drop test, fusible link/alarm activation and/or power
failure (Power failure condition only applies to operators capable of fail-safe closing).
3. Remove all pull ropes.
4. Unless the door operator includes an internal lock sensing system, or external electrical interlocks
are installed, remove or make all door locks inoperative, or secure locks in the unlocked position to
prevent operation with the locks engaged.
5. Install the door operator at least 8 feet or more above the floor if the operator has exposed moving
parts. If the operator must be mounted less 8 ft (2.44 m) above the floor, then exposed moving
parts must be protected by covers or guarding. Contact the manufacturer.
6. Do not connect the door operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.
7. Locate the control station (open-close-stop push button, key station, or the like): (a) within sight of
the door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet above floors, landings, steps, or any other adjacent
walking surface and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.
8. Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station in a prominent location.
9. Make sure the available power supply to be connected to the operator is of the same voltage,
frequency, phase and wattage as indicated on the nameplate of the operator.
10. Read and understand the wiring diagram of the operator and the control station and any other
equipment to be connected to the operator.
11. Always disconnect power whenever installing or servicing the door operator or door.
12. All wiring must be permanent and comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) and local code
requirements.
13. Any change in mounting position may result in a change of operator rotation and consequently in a
change of control functions. Consult factory for any changes.
14. For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the operation of the manual
release.
