Introduction
This manual contains the necessary details and instructions for
the installation, maintenance and service of the manual sliding
door package, the Besam VersaMax ICU/CCU Telescopic Equal
Panel package.
The Besam ICU/CCU is designed for an overhead-concealed
installation between two vertical jambs. The header, which is
supported by the surrounding structure, supports the sliding
doors and sidelites.
Models
The ICU/CCU Telescopic Equal Panel door packages can be bi-
parting (6-panel) or single slide (3-panel, left or right handed),
and sidelites may be installed fixed or hinged to break out.

Door Assembly Processes
The door installation process incorporates, unpacking and
installing hardware on the door panels.
Unpacking

so that it will not, later interfere with the operation of the door.
Remove and dispose of all packaging and scrap materials in
accordance with local regulations.
Hardware Installation
Depending on the options chosen, some or all of the hardware
shown below must be installed or modified on the door panels
prior to installation. All hardware items are kitted with instructions
and required fasteners for each package.

Smoke Seals (Optional)
US20-1627-02
On door packages that are provided with smoke seals, the
smoke seals have been factory installed on the door stiles
intentionally past the end of the doors.
Trim door stile seals flush to stile ends prior to installing door
panel.
Door Installation Processes
Cover Opening/Closing and Locking Process
The cover has to be unlocked in order to gain access into
header. The locks are located at each end of the cover, next to
the jambs.
1. To unlock, insert the short leg of a 1/4" Allen wrench
between the headed and cover, just above the weather-
stripping. Rotate the wrench 90degrees toward the cover.
Feel for lip on the lock and slide about a 1/2" away from the
jamb. Gently pull up on the cover to ensure the lock has
completely disengaged from the jamb. Repeat for the other
side.
2. To open, stand at the center of the cover, rotate the cover 90
degrees, and then push inward toward the header. This will
engage the cover into the header, preventing it from closing.
Caution!
Bumping or jarring the cover may cause it to disengage and
close suddenly.
3. To close, pull the cover away from the header until it
disengages and swings downward freely.
4. To lock, reverse the order of Step 1. The cover is designed
to be self-supporting in the open position.

Header, Jamb and Floor Track Assembly and Installation
Rough Opening Inspection
Check that there is sufficient material to adequately support and
attach the Header using the factory-predrilled holes.
The rough opening must be plumb and square and the finished
floor must not vary by more than 1/4" from the highest to the
lowest point. If necessary, have the floor leveled before
attempting to install the sliding door system.
It is important to check that the floor is level within the travel and
path of the doors in break out mode. The doors must not
encounter any obstruction when broken out. Ideally, the floor
should be level or slope away from the wall on the breakout side
of the door.
Verify that the rough opening width is 1/2" wider than the overall
frame width of the sliding door system, and that the rough
opening height is 1/4" higher than the overall frame height. For
example, an overall frame height of 89-3/4", requires a Rough
Opening Height (ROH) of 90" measured from the highest point of
the floor in the opening between the jambs.
(96 x 89 ¾ = 96 ½ x 90 RO)

Jamb and Header Assembly
Besam jambs are factory prepared for header installation. Mount
jambs to header using five screws per jamb. (Factory Provided.)
Drill holes at the top, middle and bottom of the jambs for
securing to the door opening, adjusting for site conditions that
may require the holes to be at a certain height.
Drill 1/2" holes through the face of the jamb and then drill the
back holes to a maximum of 1/4".
Suggested methods for attaching the jambs in which the screw
holes are not exposed are as follows:
1. Install “U” shaped clips to the floor in which the jambs will
slide over the top. Drill a hole through the jamb and clip to
attach the bottom of the jamb. Drill a hole through the jamb
inside of the header to attach the top of the jamb.
2. Countersink the holes on the exterior jamb walls in line with
the sidelite such that the sidelite covers the holes when
installed.

US23-2101-02 Rev A Issued: 9-22-2011 Page 17
3. Drill holes through both the interior and exterior jamb wall
and install beauty caps on the exterior holes.
Leveling Header and Jambs
Note!
The header and jambs must be installed plumb, square and level
to ensure proper door operation.
1. Check rough opening for plumb, level and square.
2. Tilt header/jamb assembly into rough opening.
3. Insert shims under jambs as required, to correct for an
uneven floor condition.

Page 18 Issued: 9-22-2011 US23-2101-02 Rev A
4. Check the position of the header; adjust side-to-side and
front-to-back as needed, then clamp or temporarily fasten the
assembly in place at the top of each jamb.
Note!
ICU Headers are not self-supporting and require overhead
support for proper operation. Anchor holes will be pre-drilled at
the factory in header to aid in installation.
5. Starting at the center of the header and working towards
each jamb, partially install anchors through each pre-drilled
installation hole.
6. Remove temporary fasteners and/or clamps from jambs.
7. Re-check header for level, insert shims as required and
tighten header anchors.
Note!
It may be necessary to leave a slight gap between the opening
and header so that the installation anchor can draw the header
up to a level condition.
8. Check each jamb for plumb and square, insert shims as
required and install anchors.
9. Recheck all members for level, plumb and square, making
adjustments as required.
Fitting the Floor Track
The following steps explain how to install the floor mounted
guide tracks for fixed sidelite applications.
Note!
It is important that the floor guide track be installed level to
prevent derailment of the floor guide system when the door is
swung out.
1. Inspect the floor for conditions such as high and low spots
that can cause the track to twist and rock. High spots (such
as small rocks) should be removed. Check floor to ensure
that it is level.
2. Using a chalk line, snap a reference line from jamb–to-jamb
on the side where the track is being installed.

US23-2101-02 Rev A Issued: 9-22-2011 Page 19
3. Using the measurements provided, lay the track in place,
mark the holes, then remove track and drill for anchors.
RECESSED TRACK
(PIN GUIDE)
Note!
The G track is not to be mounted and leveled any lower than the
bottom of the jamb and it must have an equal measurement from
the top of the G track to the bottom of the header across its
entire length.
4. Secure the track to the floor with concrete anchors and
#12x2” long countersunk screws supplied with door
package, leveling it with shims from end-to-end. (If possible,
a sealant should be used under the track assembly.)
5. After securing the track, check the track again to ensure
that it is still level. Measure from the top of the track to the
bottom of the header, checking for the same result at each
fastener.
Note!
All screws must be countersunk and fully tightened to avoid
interference with guide system travel.

Installing the Pivot Plate (Trackless Application Only)
All trackless packages are a patent pending design.
1. Place Pivot Plate on floor flush to Jamb Tube.
2. Insert shims as required to level the Pivot Plate.
3. Mark locations for holes.
4. Remove Pivot Plate, drill ¼” holes and insert anchors.
5. Fasten Pivot Plate to floor with provided hardware.
6. Place Pivot Washer on Pivot Pin.
