1.1 Installing the Operator Mounting Template
1.1.1 If the door is an aluminum storefront door, EXAMINE the top rail and, when drilling the mounting
holes, ENSURE the following:
• Do not drill into the top rail web
• Do not drill into the rail-to-stile tie rod(s)
• Do not drill into the rail-to-stile junction
1.1.2 Refer to Figure 1, and ALIGN the operator mounting template to the centerline of the butt hinge,
center pivot, or offset pivot as applicable.
Figure 1. Installing the Operator Mounting Template
To ensure proper installation, the door arm pivot bracket must be fastened to the underside of the header
frame and to the face of the header frame with at least three fasteners.
NOTE
When attempting to install the rivnuts to the underside of the door frame it may be necessary to remove the
door stop.
1.2.2 Refer to Figure 3 and, using a center punch, MARK the door arm pivot bracket hole locations.
1.2.3 If the door frame is aluminum and rivnuts must be installed, PERFORM the following:
a. Using a 25/64″ drill, DRILL the door arm pivot bracket holes.
b. Using a rivnut tool, INSTALL the ¼-20 steel rivnuts.
c. INSTALL and TIGHTEN the three (minimum) ¾″ (19.05 mm) socket head capscrews
securing the door arm pivot bracket to the underside and face of the frame header.
1.2.4 If the door frame is wood, PERFORM the following:
a. Using a 5/32″ (3.97 mm) drill, DRILL the door arm pivot bracket pilot holes.
b. INSTALL and TIGHTEN the three #14 x 1 ¼″ wood screws (minimum) securing the door
arm pivot bracket to the underside and face of the frame header.
1.4.2 If the door frame is aluminum and rivnuts must be installed, PERFORM the following:
• Using a 25/64″ (9.92 mm) drill, DRILL the operator mounting bracket holes.
1.4.3 Using a rivnut tool, INSTALL the ¼-20 steel rivnuts.
NOTE
Some door installations may require sex nut and bolt fasteners.
1.4.4 If the door frame is wood, PERFORM the following:
• Using a 5/32″ (3.97 mm) drill, DRILL the operator mounting bracket holes.
1.4.5 INSTALL a washer onto each of the four (minimum) ¾″ (19.05 mm) socket head operator
mounting bracket capscrews.
1.4.6 INSTALL, but do not TIGHTEN the socket head capscrews securing the operator mounting
bracket to the door.
1.4.7 ADJUST the operator mounting bracket as follows:
• If the upper fold on the operator mounting template was used (large stop mounting), ADJUST
the bracket so that there is 2 3/8″ (60.32 mm) space between the top of the bracket and the top of
the door.
• If the lower fold on the operator mounting template was used (standard mounting), ADJUST
the bracket so that there is 1¾″ (44.45mm) space between the top of the bracket and the top of
the door.
• If the narrow stile door mounting location was used (solid line on operator mounting template),
ADJUST the bracket so that there is 1/2″ (12.7 mm) space between the top of the bracket and
the top of the door.
1.4.8 TIGHTEN the socket head capscrews securing the operator mounting bracket to the door.
NOTE
The operator mounting bracket includes four threaded holes that accept the operator mounting pins. The
lower set of two threaded holes is used when the operator is installed on a narrow-rail door. The upper set
of two threaded holes is used when the operator is installed on a medium- or wide-rail door.
1.4.9 Refer to Figure 5 and PERFORM one of the following as applicable:
• If the operator is being mounted to a narrow rail door, TIGHTEN the operator mounting pins
into the lower threaded holes in the mounting bracket using a 7/16″ (11.112 mm) box wrench or
large adjustable wrench.
• If the operator is being mounted to a wide or medium rail door, TIGHTEN the operator
mounting pins into the upper threaded holes in the mounting bracket using a 7/16″ (11.112 mm)
box wrench or large adjustable wrench.
1.4.10 Refer to Figure 6, and INSTALL the operator mounting bracket cover over the operator mounting
bracket.
1.4.11 REMOVE the two capscrews securing the operator bottom cover to the operator.
1.4.12 REMOVE the bottom cover from the operator.
1.4.13 SLIDE the battery pack from the operator and REMOVE the battery pack.
To avoid inadvertent activation of the operator during connection of the door arm, the battery pack should
not be installed until after the door arm is connected.
1.4.15 With the battery pack facing the jamb, POSITION the operator onto the operator mounting pins.
ENSURE the operator does not slide off the mounting pins.
1.4.16 INSTALL and TIGHTEN the two ¼-20 X 1½″ socket head capscrews securing the operator to the
1.5.1 Refer to Figure 7, and, with the door arm coupling screws facing up and the door arm against the
door rail, POSITION the larger end of the door arm onto the operator output shaft.
Figure 7. Installing the Door Arm
CAUTION
The door arm coupling is a two-piece tapered coupling. In order to draw the coupling halves together
evenly the three door arm coupling screws must be tightened evenly (one quarter turn at a time) until fully
tight.
1.5.2 With the door arm touching the face of the door, TIGHTEN the door arm coupling screws evenly
1.5.3 HOLD the elbow of the door arm against the face of the door, and THREAD the adjustable door
arm end link into the door arm as necessary to align the end link mounting hole with the door arm
pivot mounting hole.
1.5.4 If the door arm end link does not align with the door arm pivot mounting hole and there is no
available travel on the threaded end link, PERFORM the following:
• LOOSEN the socket head capscrews securing the door arm pivot to the door arm pivot bracket.
• SLIDE the door arm pivot as necessary to align the door arm end link with the door arm pivot
mounting hole.
• TIGHTEN the socket head capscrews securing the door arm pivot to the door arm pivot
bracket.
NOTE
In order to apply a preload to the door, the door arm must be threaded into the door arm three revolutions.
1.5.5 THREAD the adjustable door arm end link into the door arm three revolutions.
1.5.6 INSTALL the washer provided onto the top of the door arm end link, and TIGHTEN the 5/16 -18 X
7
/8″ button-head capscrew securing the door arm end link to the door arm pivot bracket.
1.5.7 CYCLE the door several times, and ENSURE that the door opens and closes smoothly.
1.5.8 SLIDE the dress cover onto the operator.
1.5.9 CONNECT the battery pack connector plug to the operator.
1.5.10 SLIDE the battery pack onto the operator, and ENSURE that the battery pack wires will not
interfere with the operator cover.
1.6 Installing the Optional Plug-In Transformer
NOTE
If possible, the transformer wiring should be routed against the door trim molding.
1.6.1 ROUTE transformer wiring to a 110-VAC outlet, but do not plug transformer into the outlet.
NOTE
An optional plug-in transformer is recommended in installations where the automatic door-opening feature
will be used frequently. The optional plug-in transformer is REQUIRED for installations where Power
Close and/or Push and Go features are enabled.
1.6.2 Refer To Figure 8, and ROUTE wires through armored cable end links. MOUNT the door cord end
links as follows:
• MOUNT one end link in the area behind or next to the battery pack.
• MOUNT the other end link on or next to the door frame.
