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.

!

CAUTION

This operator is for

indoor use only.

!

CAUTION

Do not mount any

accessories directly to

the operator.
