INTRODUCTION

The releasing device is a failsafe constantly energized solenoid mechanism. It is designed for use on
rolling fire doors and counter fire doors. Inside the mechanism, contact relays receive the alarm signal
from the fire alarm control panel. When the unit receives the signal, the power to the solenoid is cut,
releasing the fire door mechanism and hence closing the fire door. The alarm signal can be Form C dry
contact or 24VDC/VAC. A power interruption in excess of 10 seconds will release the solenoid
mechanism. The release has a 10 second delay on alarm, closed door detection capabilities, Form C
relay outputs for the status of release box and 24VDC power output for door close warning.

IMPORTANT MECHANICAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

WARNING - To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Spring tension must be adjusted to allow the fire door to self close during a drop test, alarm
activation and/or power failure. A door that is operating improperly could cause severe injury. Have
qualified door system technicians make repairs to spring assemblies and other hardware before
installing the operator.

3. Cover any exposed, moving operator parts that are less than 8 feet above the floor.

4. Do not connect the door operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.

5. When utilized, locate the “close” control station: (a) within sight of the door, (b) at a minimum
height of 5 feet so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.

6. Instruct the end user on operation of the operator / release device.

7. The door is under extreme spring tension. Have qualified door system technicians make all
necessary adjustments and repairs to the door.

8. Make sure the available alarm power supply to be connected to the operator is of the same voltage,
frequency, phase and wattage as indicated on the nameplate of the alarm box.

9. Read and understand the wiring diagram of the alarm box (if applicable), and any other equipment to
be connected to the operator.

10. Always disconnect power whenever installing or servicing the door or operator.
