11.1.2 Operator spring tension function.
1. Spring tension sets closing force on door.
2. Required spring tension is based on door width.
11.1.3 Spring tension adjustment.
1. Spring tension adjustment is factory set fully CCW,
no spring tension.
2. Spring must be pretensioned per Para. 11.1.1.
• Use 5 mm T-handle hex key.
Clockwise - increases spring tension.
Counterclockwise - decreases spring tension.
CAUTION
A minimum of ten spring tension revolutions
are required to operate system.
11.1.4 Check door closing force.
1. Para. 11.1.1 lists approximate spring tension settings.
2. Use pressure gauge to check door closing force at 2°
and adjust tension setting if necessary.
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Reference Chapter 12, ANSI/BHMA standards
for door closing forces.
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
System checks spring tension during learning
cycle (Reference ED50LE/ED100LE Setup
Manual).
Learning cycle will be canceled if spring is
insufficiently tensioned; door will stop and
display will show a rotating "0" and an "F".
