Selected Features
Push-and-go
If this feature is on, and if the Program Switch is in Auto, the user may also trigger an opening by starting to open the
door by hand. Also, if the door is closing, and the user reopens it manually, the opener is retriggered. Note that if the
user simply stops the closing door, the opener will consider that an obstacle, not a Push-and-go trigger.
Program Switch
At any given time, the opener may be in one of 3 modes, based on the position of the ProgramSwitch:
•
Off
•
Auto
•
Hold-Open
Off
The opener emulates the operation of a hydraulic passive door closer (except that, when the door is closed, it may
press against the hard-stop). The user may use the door manually; there's no Power Opening, nor holding the door
open.
(
Again
: with the Program Switch in the Off position, the opener is actually on; it's just that it doesn't open the
door nor assist the user.) In the simplest case, the door starts at Latch-Stop; a user may open the door manually , and
then release the door; then, the closer lets the door close.
Auto
The opener opens or assists the user automatically (though the user may still use the door manually). In the simplest
case, the door starts at Latch-Stop; the opener detects that a user is approaching, and opens the door and holds it at the
Back-Stop; then, the closer lets the door close. If, while closing, the opener detects a new user, it reopens the door. If
a user opens the door manually, then the opener behaves as it does in the Off mode. If the door encounters an obstacle
(while opening or closing), or a presence is detected, the opener stops the door; then the opener either opens or closes
the door. In the simplest case, the door starts at Latch-Stop; when a user triggers the opener, the opener helps the user
as she opens the door; then, the closer lets the door close.If another user retriggers the opener as the door is closing,
the opener returns to helping the user.If, while closing, the door encounters an obstacle, the opener stops the door;
then the opener lets the door close.
If a user opens the door manually, then the opener be haves as it does in the
Off
mode.
Hold-Open
The opener opens the door and holds it open.
Unusual circumstances
User intervention
The way the opener responds to user intervention depends on what the door is doing at the time, and other factors.
Closed, OffMode or Push-and-GoOff -
The opener lets the user open the door against the force of the return spring. As
soon as the user lets go of the door, it starts closing.
Closed, Auto Mode and Push-and-Go On -
If the user open the door manually, the door opens.
Opening full speed -
If the user tries to open the door faster than the opener wants to, the opener resists, trying to maintain
speed. If the user tries to force the door closed, the opener considers it an obstacle (see later).
Creeping open -
If the user tries to open the door faster than the opener wants to, the opener resists lightly; as soon as the
userlets go of the door, it finishes opening the door. If the user tries to force the door closed, the opener considers it
an
obstacle
(see
later).
Open -
If the user opens the door away from Back-Stop, the opener fights against it, and tries to return the door to Back-Stop.
After some time, to protect the motor, the opener starts a Over-Current alarm and shuts down.
Closing, Off Mode or Push-and-GoOff -
If the user reopens a closing door, the opener lets her do so, working against
the force of the return spring. As soon as the user lets go of the door, it starts closing. If the user forces the door to
close faster than the opener wants to, the opener reverts to passive closing, until the door reaches Latch-Stop.
Closing, Auto Mode and Push-and-Go On -
If the opener is retriggered the door reopens. If the user forces the door to
close faster than the opener wants to, the opener reverts to passive closing, until the door reaches Latch-Stop.
