5831 Series is an extreme-duty, low-energy door opener designed for institutional high-traffic . It allows the door
to open manually or by a RF transmitter pushbutton . As the door closes, the 5831 Series generates an electrical
charge that restores power to the battery, eliminating the need for electrical power .
5831 Series should be installed on doors using our 80/25 guideline:
•
Apply 5831 Series to a door that will be cycled manually a minimum of 80 times per day and cycled
automatically approximately 25% or less per day .
Using this 80/25 guideline, the 5831 Series will self-generate all the power it needs to keep its field-replaceable on-
board battery pack charged for up to 12 years or longer .
A fully charged battery pack can open a door up to 2,500 times in a row with little impact on overall usability
even if there are periodic fluctuations from the 80/25 guideline . For example 30% automatic use for one day is not
problematic, provided that level of automatic use is not sustained .
If the door is operated by wireless RF transmitter pushbutton more often than described in the 80/25 rule, the
door-closing cycle will not supply enough power to charge the battery pack and permit remote operation . In this
case, an optional plug-in 24VDC power supply is required . Simply plug the unit into a common 230VAC electrical
outlet using a plug-in 24VDC power supply .
Operation Upon Loss of Power:
Standard installations require no external power and operation will not be affected during a power loss . Typically a
maximum of 2,500 cycles can be obtained from a fully charged battery pack . Installations with a power supply will
continue to function normally .
Operation Upon Obstruction:
If door meets an obstruction while opening, door will remain under power for one (1) second and then close under
spring force . If door meets an obstruction while closing, door will maintain a closing force of 3 .6 kg or less .
