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.

2. Attach the Pull Arm to the track roller with the roller locking screw and to the operator spindle loosely with the 8mm socket head
screw. Open the door to 90°, and tighten the 8mm socket head screw (see g. 3).
3. Attach arm if required. Due to the mesh of the arm to operator spindle, the door may be open to slightly more or less than 90°. To
adjust arm, remove arm adjustment screws, push door open to 90° and reinstall arm screws (see g. 4).

5 Operational Check
5a Activate the operator using the activation device. The operator will perform one sizing cycle.
Sizing Cycle: Occurs after power is turned on and a legitimate activation signal is received. During the sizing cycle,
the door opens and closes one time.
5b If the door does NOT OPEN AT ALL during the sizing cycle:
• Check the door for binding.
• If an electromechanical lock is being used, check that the lock disengages before the operator opens the door.
• Check fuses, circuit breakers and connections.
• Adjust the operator and check the door operation (see Step 6: Operator Adjustment on page 9).
Below are default settings:
Opening Speed 9:00
Back Check Speed 3:00
Hold Open Time Delay 10:00
Latch Position 12:00
Closing Speed 12:00
Back Check Position 4:00 (fully clockwise)
5c If the door does NOT OPEN FULLY during the sizing cycle:
• Check the door for binding.
• Increase the back check speed slightly and re-check the door operation. Repeat until door opens fully.
5d If the door OPENS TOO FAST during the sizing cycle, decrease the back check speed slightly and re-check the door
operation. Repeat until the door opens at desired speed.
5e After the sizing cycle is completed and the door(s) are closed, apply a maintained activatin signal. Check that the door
remains open while the signal is applied.
5f When the door is operating properly, continue with step 4k on page 7.

the latest revisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); ANSI/BHMA
A156.19 Standards for Power-Assisted and Low Energy Power-Operated Doors;
and local codes.
Opening Speed: 5 seconds or more Latch Location: 10 degrees or more
Closing Speed: 3 seconds or more Latch Speed: 1.5 seconds or more

7c Give verbal instruction on how to properly operate the door to the owner or person in charge.
7d Give verbal instruction to the owner or person in charge on periodic inspection of the door for the following:
• Occasional damage
• Developing problems
• Minor preventative maintenance

maintenance.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to install all Safety, Trafc Control and Instruction
Labels onto the door, as required.
8 Falcon Software
8a Operation:
1. Sizing:
From start-up (sizing), the door will activate via:
Main Input (Main Act and Main Act Com).
The rst motion of the door will be towards the Door Open position. The speed during Sizing is automatic and cannot be set from a
potentiometer.
The door drives to full open and the system sets the open counter to full open.
The door closes at Closing Speed. The system sets the closed counter to Full Closed when the latch goes up at the Closed position.
The system calculates all other parameters required for normal operation based on the two values of Full Open and Full Closed.
Page 11
2. Standard Operation
Upon a legitimate activation signal, the door accelerates to opening speed while monitoring the current load on the drive output. If the
current exceeds the specied level, the door will stop and close.
The door travels at it’s set speed (based on the potentiometer setting) until it reaches the Back Check position, where it will decelerate to
the Back Check Speed.
The door will stop at the Hold Open position and remain there until an activation or the Hold Open Timer is cleared.
The door then closes at its Closing Speed (based on the potentiometer setting) up to the latched position.
If the Closing Speed is decreased by driving the motor in the open direction (a xed setting), power is added to allow the spring to
continue closing the door to the Full Closed position.
