General

The Falcon Operator is a low energy automatic electromechanical swinging door operator for use on hinged, center pivoted and offset 

pivoted doors. When activated, the Falcon drives the door to full open position, then electrical power is turned off and the door is closed 

by spring force. The activating circuit opens the door from any position in the closing swing. During a power failure, the Falcon Operator 

acts as a manual door closer (Size 3). Door opening and closing cycles, including opening speed, back check speed, hold open time 

delay, closing speed, latch position, and backcheck position are adjustable.

WARNING

Always disconnect main power to the 

operator prior to servicing or cleaning.

 

CAUTION

This operator is for indoor use only.

 

CAUTION

Do not mount any accessories directly 

to the operator.
