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.
