GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Fire Door Controller, FDCL, is an integrated fire door control
system. It is designed to interface with normally close (NC) or
normally open (NO) dry contact alarm system to control the
operation of a fire door. Wiring for sensing device to reverse and
auxiliary devices to open and close are provided. The control
station is selectable between “Fire Door Mode Type I” and “Fire
Door Mode Type II” by means of DIP SWITCH 2. When “Fire Door
Mode Type 1” is selected the control station is the standard B2
wiring, momentary contact to open, close and stop. When “Fire
Door Mode Type II” is selected the control station is a revised C2
wiring, momentary contact to open and stop and constant
pressure to close with no open override. In addition, when “Fire
Door Mode Type II” is selected, the door will Gravity Close
governed descent on alarm.
“Fire Door Mode Type I” is described throughout this manual.
Refer to the above exceptions when in “Fire Door Mode Type II.”
NOTE: This operator is not a fire alarm system. It can not detect a
fire condition.
FIRE DOOR MODE TYPE I FUNCTIONAL OPERATION
1. BATTERY TEST DESCRIPTION
The FDCL provides internal battery testing to ensure the battery
has not been disconnected and the system can perform it’s
intended functionality in the event of a loss of AC power. The
battery is checked for presence once an hour for 10 seconds. If
this test fails, the battery has failed or has been disconnected. A
major fault (see below) is declared and must be immediately
rectified. The battery is also load tested for one minute. The one
minute load test is performed once per week to ensure that the
power remaining in the batteries is sufficient to handle an
emergency condition. The test will not occur within 12 hours of a
power outage or an aborted test due to user input.
The battery test results are categorized as a minor fault or a
major fault and are described as follows:
a. Minor Fault. This fault mode occurs when the system
determines that the batteries hold between 10 seconds and one
minute of capacity. The alarm within operator will begin
notification at 3 seconds per minute. The batteries will be
retested every week. The controller will attempt to close the
door after 45 days of notification and test failures.
b. Major Fault. This fault mode occurs when the system
determines that less than 10 seconds of battery backup is
available. The batteries are either not connected or are severely
depleted. The system will attempt to close the door after the
DIP switch selected alarm delay (see DIP Switch section of this
manual). Notification will occur as a 1 second on 1 second off
pulse train until Battery Test passes.
Whenever a battery test failure occurs, the batteries must be
connected or replaced immediately in order to ensure normal
system operation. If for any reason the battery voltage drops
below the minimum voltage, the unit will activate the optional
warning system and automatically close the door via a controlled
descent.
If the system passes the Battery Test, then all alarms are cleared.
2. UNIT HAS AC POWER AND NO ALARM CONDITION:
• The 3-Button Control Station is used to operate the door
electrically.
• Activation of the safety edge while the door is closing will
cause the door to reverse to the full open limit.
• Activation of the safety edge while the door is opening will
NOT effect operation, the door will continue to the open limit.
• Activating the key-test switch for at least 6 seconds will put
the operator in alarm active mode. See ACTIVE ALARM
section for detail operation of alarm active mode.
3. UNIT HAS AC POWER AND ACTIVE ALARM CONDITION
(ALARM INPUT #1 - Smoke Detector, etc.):
• The unit will activate the OPTIONAL warning signal, the door
will automatically close after the preset time delay (powered
down by motor except in Fire Door Mode Type II). The time
delay is set by means of DIP switch 1.
• If the door is in the open position and an alarm condition
occurs, the door will automatically close under motor
operation except in Fire Door Mode Type II. In the event the
door should meet an obstruction while closing, it will reverse
and return to the full open position, and then start the closing
cycle (with delay and warning) again. If the obstruction is not
removed, the door will close stopping at the lowest possible
position holding the brake for 2 seconds, then releasing the
door to gravity close (governed descent). If after the door
has finished the cycling mode and obstruction has been
removed, the door will proceed to the floor.
• In the event of a failure in motor operation, the operator will
gravity close (governed descent).

(Alarm Input #1 or Alarm Input #2):
•The unit will activate the OPTIONAL warning signal
(horn/strobe), the door will automatically close via governed
descent after the preset time delay. The time delay is set by
means of DIP switch 1.
• If the door encounters an obstruction while closing , the door
will stop on the obstruction, and release the brake after (2)
seconds. If the obstruction is then removed, the unit will
perform a governed descent of the door (not powered down
by the motor).
7. ACTIVATION OF THE INTERNAL THERMAL SENSOR:
• Will initiate an alarm input #2.
• With AC power present the unit will react as stated in #4.

THEORY OF OPERATION
DOOR SYSTEM TESTING PROCEDURES
Before beginning any testing, secure the door area, keep
unauthorized personnel from entering the area during testing. Be
sure AC power is present at the operator, (the green “AC” LED
will be lit on the operator’s control board) and that the batteries
are connected.
NOTE: The red “DC” led will NOT be lit on the operator’s control
board when AC power is present.
1. Begin the test with the door at the full “OPEN” position.
2. If the door is equipped with safety photo eyes, make certain
dip switch #4 is in the “ON” position.
NOTE: If 2 minutes total time elapses from the beginning of step
#11 and the conclusion of step #15, the unit will automatically
exit the “TEST” mode. To re-enter the “TEST” mode repeat step
#4, and continue testing.
3. Turn the wall mounted key test switch to the “TEST” position
and hold for a minimum of 6 seconds. This action simulates
an “ALARM” signal.
4. If dip switch #1 is in the “ON” position, the door should begin
to close immediately. If dip switch #1 is in the “OFF” position,
the door should begin to close after 10 seconds time has
elapsed (the door will not motor down, it will gravity
descend).
5. Using a “stop-watch” verify that your door is closing between
6" and 24" per second (i.e., A 10' high door should close in a
time between 5 and 20 seconds). Your door should now be
fully closed.
6. Open the door by depressing the “OPEN” button on the
3-Button Control Station.
7. Repeat step #3.
8. When the door is approximately 3 to 4 feet from the floor,
activate the doors safety edge, (if so equipped) using a crate,
skid or alike. Do not introduce any part of your body to the
door system during testing. The door should reverse to the
full open position. Remove the obstruction.
9. The door will begin to close within 1 second, if dip switch #1
is in the “ON” position. If dip switch # 1 is in the “OFF”
position, the door will wait 10 seconds before beginning to
close, the door should fully close to the floor (the door will not
motor down, it will gravity descend).
10. Repeat steps #5 and #6.
11. When the door is approximately half way to the floor,
interrupt the safety photo eye beam, (if so equipped) by
blocking with a piece of cardboard or alike. Do not introduce
any part of your body to the door system during testing. The
door should reverse to the full open position. Remove the
obstruction.
12. Step #10 repeats.
13. When the door is approximately half way to the floor, depress
and hold the “STOP” button on the 3-Button Control Station.
The door should stop.
14. Release the “STOP” button on the control station. Step #10
repeats.
15. Depress the “OPEN” button on the 3-Button Control Station.
The door should open to the full open position. The unit is

PREPARATION
Before your operator is installed, be sure the door has been
properly aligned and is working smoothly. The operator may be
wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf. Refer to the
illustration and instructions on the following page that suits your
application. This motor operator is an integral part of the door
system. The motor operator, controls door descent speed under
power outage conditions, therefore the motor operator mounting
surface is of major importance. The mounting must provide the
following:
• All surfaces should be flat, square, and parallel to the door shaft
• The mounting surface must be rigid, and braced off as required
• When wall mounting the motor operator, it should be through
bolted to the wall
• All (4) motor operator mounting points MUST be used
• All mounting hardware should be a minimum of grade 5

ALARM INPUTS
Alarm Input #1:
Used for electronic alarm devices such as smoke detection
devices or similar alarm systems. Devices may be N/O or N/C.
Switchable using DIP Switch #3. This alarm will activate a
motored closure of the door (except in Fire Door Mode Type II),
and all sensing and control devices will remain active.
It is imperative that the alarm signal contact is maintained for a
time period greater than the alarm delay to close setting. I.E. If
dip switch #1 is in the “OFF” position (10 seconds) the alarm
system must supply a “DRY” contact signal to terminals J2-11
and J2-12 for a minimum of 12 seconds.
Alarm Input #2:
Used for the thermal sensors (electronic fusible links), fuse link
kit or similar systems. (N.C. state only) The sensor or similar
system must supply a “DRY N.C.” contact signal. This alarm
condition will activate a motored closure of the door (except in
Fire Door Mode Type II), and all sensing devices and control
stations will be rendered inactive. EXCEPT THE SAFETY EDGE.
This alarm will override any other alarm condition or input.
