6021/6031 Series (Push Side) Power Operator
Operation:
Your Low Energy Operator can be configured in three variations to meet the standards:
1. Push plates, Wave-to-open switches, etc. are available to activate the operator.
2. Push & Go can be enabled. In this mode, your door is pushed (or pulled) slowly 15° manually, and then
automatically opens to full open position.
3. Door can be used as a manual door. The door will work and act like a standard door closer, with or without
power, when pushed or pulled open manually. If Push & Go is enabled and door is opened quickly, door will
function as a manual door (energy save feature). Push plates are still active.
If desired, overhead presence devices can be provided for an extra level of protection. Consult local authority having
jurisdiction. These are not required by current ANSI/BHMA A156.19 standards.
Opening:
When an opening signal is received by the control unit, the door opens to the fully open position. The open position
is held by the motor and is adjustable from 0 to 30 seconds. If the door is obstructed while opening, the door will
stop; the operator will sense obstruction (obstruction time is adjustable from 0 to 5 seconds) and the door will close.
NOTE: Door must be visible by person operating activation switch(es). Auxiliary door stop (by others) required.
Closing:
When the hold open time has elapsed, the door closer will close the door automatically. The door will slow to low
speed at latch before it reaches the fully closed position. The door is kept closed by spring force of the closer. If the
door is obstructed while closing, the door will stop against the obstruction; the operator will sense obstruction
and reopen to fully open position after obstruction time has been reached. Once the hold open time has elapsed a
second time, the door closer will close the door automatically. If the door is obstructed during this second closing
cycle, the door will stop and rest against the obstruction using only the force of the closer spring. To reset, allow door
to fully close and re-activate push plates to test operation.
Infinite Hold Open:
An optional feature to be used if door is desired to be held open for more than 30 seconds.
Set selector mode switch on underside of union assembly to hold open. Door will immediately begin to open to
the fully open position. Once door is fully open, brake on end of motor energizes holding door in open position. To
release from hold open, if door is set up for executive operation, door can be closed with activation device (see Hard
Wired Executive Function Wiring on page 18 or Radio Frequency Executive Function Wiring on page 20). A
pull on the door will also allow the unit to be taken out of hold open. Once door has closed, the door will reopen to
fully open position unless activation device is pressed or selector mode switch is changed from hold open position.
NOTE: Door must be visible by person operating activation switch(es). Auxiliary door stop (by others) required.
WARNING: Make sure (120V, 60Hz) input power
is turned OFF at facility’s main circuit breaker
before proceeding with installation

for 6061/6071 Push installation.
2. Frame header MUST be flat / without twists.
Backplate can be used as reference.
NOTE: If frame is not flat or is twisted, an
additional steel back plate or shimming is
required. Failure to mount unit properly can
result in improper function of operator or
inability to snap on cover.

toward latch edge of door and 5/16" up
from underside of frame rabbet.
c. Drill/tap two (2) 1/4-20 holes for steel
frame or two (2) #14 holes for wood frame
at marked locations.
4. Prepare holes for concealed mounted
conduit (if applicable).
a. Mark frame 33-7/8" from centerline of
hinge toward latch edge of door and 11/16"
up from underside of frame rabbet.
b. Mark frame 1-1/4" from previous mark
toward latch edge of door and 11/16" up
from underside of frame rabbet.
c. Drill two (2) 7/8" diameter holes in frame
at marked locations.

A. Secure Backplate.
1. Secure backplate to frame using six (6):
1/4-20 x 5/8" machine screws or
1/4 x 1-1/2" self-drilling screws. (Figure 7)
NOTE: It is important to properly secure
top edge of backplate. Use of blocking
(supplied by others) or shims (provided) to
fill gap between backplate and wall above
header is HIGHLY recommended. Material
must comply with local codes. Failure to
properly secure top of backplate could result
in operator being allowed to ‘rock’ during
operation. This could result in damage to
operator and diminish operator function.
(Figure 7)
B. Install End Caps.
1. Secure end caps to each end of backplate
using four (4) (two each) #8-32 x 5/16" Phillips
