General

The Senior Swing is an automatic electromechanical swinging door operator for a single door, simultaneously operated, or independently operated pair of doors. The concealed application operates center pivoted, offset pivoted, or butt hung/hinged doors. The surface application operates balanced (push side only), center pivoted, offset pivoted, or butt hung/hinged doors in either push or pull mode.

When activated, the Senior Swing drives the door to the 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 Senior Swing 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, and latch position, are adjustable.

A IMPORTANT A

Do not install the Senior Swing unless all of the following conditions are correct.

• 1a Check that the product model is correct for the required application.
• 1b Check that all parts listed on the bill of material are in the shipping container.
• 1c Check architectural and final approved shop drawings for position of frame and openings.
• 1d For concealed applications, check that the opening allows 1/4" at each side and at the top so that the frame and the header can be plumbed square and caulked.
• 1e For surface mount applications onto 2" frames, consult factory to determine if mounting plate is required.
• 1f Special tool may be required for installation of rivet nuts.
• 1g Check for sufficient header clearances:

• 1h For a ramped floor, check that the break in the grade occurs at the edge of the 2" threshold and slopes away from the entrance to allow proper door swing or panic breakaway.
• 1i Check that a 120 volt, single phase, 60 Hz, fused, 15 amp, 3-wire power supply is available at the side jamb with approximately 12" of wire available to connect to the operator. UL approved type flexible conduit is recommended for the 120 volt power line.
  • The 120 volt power supply must be a dedicated circuit from the main circuit breaker panel and must not be connected into a building lighting system operating fluorescent lights.
• For concealed applications, continue with "2. Header Installation (Concealed)" on page 5.
• For surface applications, continue with "3. Header Installation (Surface)" on page 6.

2 Header Installation (Concealed)

• ① Note: Install concealed application headers so there is 1/8" between the bottom of the header and the top of the door.
• 2a Prepare existing jamb tubes using template 740069, then install four 1/4-20 rivet nuts inside each jamb tube.
• Align the header with the jamb tubes. For headers with a single operator, position the end of the header containing the operator brackets near the pivot side of the opening (Figure 2-1). Secure the header to the jamb tubes with four 1/4-20 hex head screws at each end (Figure 2-2).

• 2c Stand the header/jamb tube assembly in the opening.
• 2d Feed the 120 volt power conduit into the header (Figure 2-3). Leave 12" minimum of wire inside the header for final hookup.
• 2e Shim and square the side jamb tubes in position, then secure the jamb tubes in the opening.

• Continue with "4. AC Power and Ground Wiring (Surface and Concealed)" on page 8.

3 Header Installation (Surface)

• 3a For a header with two operators (for a simultaneously operated pair of doors), designate one end of the header as the companion operator end. (It does not matter which end.)
• 3b Refer to Figure 3-1 and step 3.3 and prepare wire access holes appropriate for the application in the header using template 740070. Be sure to position edge "A" of template 740070 as shown in Figure 3-1.

3c Install horizontal mounting brackets on the header per the instructions supplied with the brackets (Figure 3-2). Make sure the horizontal mounting brackets are oriented so the wire access holes in the header (see step 3.2) face up or face the door and, for single operator headers, the operator brackets inside the header are near the hinge side of the opening.

• L NOTE: Install surface applied headers with the following spacing between the bottom of the header and the top of the door: Pull arm application: 1-1/8" Push arm application: 1"
• 3d For aluminum storefront or aluminum tube frame, install the header with horizontal mounting brackets to the jams per the instructions supplied with the horizontal mounting brackets (Figure 3-3). shim

mounting

3e Hollow metal and wood frames require the use of a -18 mounting plate, sold separately (Figure 3-4).

3f Feed the 120 volt power conduit into the header (Figure 3-5). Leave 12" minimum of wire inside the header for final hookup.

• Continue with "4. AC Power and Ground Wiring (Surface and Concealed)" on page 8.

• Continue with "5. Operator Installation (Surface and Concealed)" on page 9.

5 Operator Installation (Surface and Concealed)

For double operator systems with differently handed operators, make sure that the correct operator is installed in each end of the header. The handing of the operator (R.H. or L.H.) is indicated on a label on the operator.

• 5b Connect the end of the green operator ground wire to the rear operator mounting bracket in the header (Figure 5-1) using the #10-32 hex head green ground screw supplied in the operator screw pack.
• 5c Make sure there is a rubber grommet inside each of the four operator mounting holes (Figure 5-2).
• Line up the four mounting holes on the operator with the four mounting studs on the operator brackets (Figure 5-3). Make sure that the operator cable (with 6-pin connector) is hanging down freely and push the operator up onto the mounting studs. Make sure cables are not pinched when operator is installed. (The mounting studs fit snugly into the grommets, and firm pressure may be required to get the operator into position.)
• 5e Secure the operator to the header using four 5/16-18 hex head screws and washers (Figure 5-3). Tighten the screws until they make contact with the mounting studs on the operator brackets.
• 5f Connect the other end of the green ground wire to the small hole in the bottom of the operator (Figure 5-3).
• 5g For a header with two operators, install the second operator in the same manner.
• For center pivoted doors, continue with "6. Pivot Block Installation (Concealed, Center Pivoted)" on page 10.
• For other doors, continue with "8. Control Box Installation (Surface and Concealed)" on page 12.

6 Pivot Block Installation (Concealed, Center Pivoted)

• NOTE: This section is applicable ONLY if using the factory supplied lower pivot block (with pivot post attached) on center pivoted doors. If not being used, continue with "7. Breakaway or Fixed Stop Installation (Concealed, Center Pivoted)" on page 11.
• 6a Position the lower pivot block (Figure 6-1) as shown in Figure 6-2 oriented so the pivot post is 2-3/4" or 3-3/4" (nominal) from the jamb, as necessary.
• 6b Use the pivot block as a guide and mark and prepare four mounting holes for appropriate fasteners for the mounting surface.
• 6c Secure the pivot block in place with appropriate fasteners (Figure 6-3).
• ① NOTE: Pivot block shown installed for a door with a 3-3/4" mounting point. For 2-3/4" mounting point, reverse pivot.

7 Breakaway or Fixed Stop Installation (Concealed, Center Pivoted)

NOTE: This section is applicable ONLY to center pivoted doors using the factory supplied breakaway or fixed stop. If not being used, continue with "8. Control Box Installation (Surface and Concealed)" on page 12.

Breakaway and Fixed Stop Operation

The function of the breakaway or fixed stop is to act as a mechanical stop on an inswinging door so the door cannot normally be opened in the outswinging direction.

The breakaway stop differs from the fixed stop in that, in a panic or fire condition, when approximately 50 lbs. of force is applied on the door from the inswinging side, the door will open in the outswinging direction. When this occurs, a switch in the breakaway stop disables the automatic operation of the door. The door then remains inoperative and in the breakaway position until it is manually pushed back through the opening to the inswinging side. This action resets the breakaway stop and restores automatic operation.

7a Orient the breakaway stop according to the directions on the switch label (Figure 7-1). The "OPENING DIRECTION OF DOOR" arrow should point in the direction that the door opens during normal operation.

7b Install the breakaway or fixed stop inside the header approximately 2-1/4" from the latch end using the four #8-32 x 3/4" screws supplied with the stop (Figure 7-2). Mounting holes for the stop have been prepared in the header at the factory.

• Continue with "8. Control Box Installation (Surface and Concealed)" on page 12.

8 Control Box Installation (Surface and Concealed)

• 8a Orient the control box so the keypad faces down and the 6-pin Molex connector faces the operator for a single system or the master operator for a double system (Figure 8-1).
• 8b Raise the control box into the header and rotate the two mounting bars so they engage the slots that run the length of the header (Figure 8-2).
• 8c See Figure 8-3 for final positions of operator(s) and control box inside the header.

• Continue with "9. Control Box Wiring (Surface and Concealed)" on page 13.

A CAUTION A

High voltage wiring must be separated from low voltage wiring by UL listed wiring for the control box, operators, and low voltage accessories.

A CAUTION A

When joining or separating a Molex plug and receptacle, do not push or pull on any of the wires. This may cause a wire to be pulled loose from a terminal, which may result in a malfunction.
