circuits.
Plug the receiver into a different outlet so that equipment and receiver are on different branch
circuits.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions.
Note!
Besam follows a policy of advancements in development.
Instructions, design, specifications and illustrations, which are contained in this manual, are not
binding. Rights are reserved for changes without previous notice.
Note!
The glazing material in all unframed swing doors shall comply with the requirements in the
Performance Specifications and Methods of Test for Safety Glazing Material Used in Buildings,
ANSI Z97.1. Glazing materials for other pedestrian doors shall also comply with ANSI Z97.1,
except that single strength or heavier glass may be used for those portions of doors involving a
glazed area of less than 1sqf and having no dimension greater than 18”.

1BIntroduction
This manual contains the necessary details and instructions for the installation, maintenance and
service of the Besam swing door operator, Swingmaster®900, a universal electro-mechanical
operator suitable for various external and internal swing doors.
The Swingmaster 900 overhead concealed is designed to be integrated in the complete jamb and door
assembly. It is self-supporting and suitable for single or double doors fitted with center pivots.
The Swingmaster 900 surface mount can be mounted on either side of the door header for pull or
push operation, and is suitable for single or double doors fitted with butt hinges, offset or center
pivots.
The Besam Swingmaster 900 swing door operator can be combined with a full range of sensor
products providing swing door safety.
30BHow The Swingmaster Works
The Swingmaster uses a DC motor and gear-reduction system (the operator) to drive an arm system
that opens the door. Closing power is provided by coil spring. An electronic control unit uses a cam
door positioning system to control the door’s movement.
Note: One control unit required per operator.
69BOpening
When the control unit receives an opening signal, the door is opened at the Swingmaster’s high
speed. Before the door is fully open, it slows to low speed. The motor stops when the operator
reaches the full open stop. The motor holds the open position. If the door is obstructed while opening
it should stop (adjust the HLD potentiometer accordingly). Once all signals (or similar wording)
have cleared and the time delay has expired the door will reverse to the closed position. The force
that it takes to stop an opening door is adjustable from 12 to 25lbs depending on door widths and
speeds.
70BClosing
When the time delay expires, the Swingmaster will close the door automatically using spring force
only, and with the motor acting as a brake. The door will slow to low speed before it reaches the
fully closed position. The door is kept fully closed by spring force.

2BImportant Safety Instructions
WARNING – To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, all instruction and installation of safety
equipment must be performed in accordance to ANSI 156.10 for pedestrian usage.
31BFunction Description of Circuits
71BFunction of Kill
If the kill circuit is closed on the master or slave control, the control(s) will ignore all signals and
immediately close door(s) at normal speed.
72BFunction of Locks
The control has an available output of 18 VAC/DC for external locks and lock modules. This output
will require an add on module by others to interface the external lock.
73BPush and Go
Initiates the automation of the door by way of the act of “pushing the door”. Additional after market
hardware is required.
74BPower Failure
After a power failure there is a warm up safety feature of 5 seconds. This allows the time for the
safety system to power up and observe the surrounding conditions.

3BSafety Functions
32BFunction of the Presence Impulse (Approach Side)
When coordinated through the CUHub, a sensor mounted to the approach side of a door will only be
active when the door is in motion. Once the door is closed, the sensor is ignored. When the CUHub
is not used, this feature can also be obtained by utilizing TB1: 8 or 9 depending on brand or model of
sensor used.
33BFunction of the Presence Detection (Swing Path Side)
When a sensor that is mounted on the swing side of a door detects an object, it will send a command
to the control to either stop or creep open. When using the CUHub this feature is active upon impulse
and is ignored once the door reaches back check. If the control has received a short signal to stop or
creep open and there is still time delay left on the control, the door will continue to open if the object
has cleared. If the time delay has expired, the door will close after all other signals have cleared.
Note: When installed as a pair, the presence detection signal will stop or creep open both doors.
34BFunction of the OPD
When an OPD (Overhead Presence Detector) sensor is mounted above the door on the swing side, it
will either keep a door in the open position, keep the door in the closed position or prevent a closing
door from reopening after a safety beam, mounted at the end of the guide rails, is blocked.
35BPanic Function
Center pivoted doors can be pushed in the opposite direction for panic egress. If one door of a pair is
pushed in the panic direction, both doors will be disabled until the door’s internal spring has slowly
returned it to the closed position. Once closed, the doors will return to normal operation after the 5-
second safety delay has expired.
36BSafety Functions with Sensors
For automated pedestrian doors, safety sensors are required to meet ANSI 156.10.
37BFunction of Door Positioning Device (Cam Set)
The cam and switch assembly eases the manual opening of the door in either direction (panic or
normal), and controls the door closing in the event of power failure.
They are shown in Section titled, “Changing the Hand of the Operator” with the drive shaft in the
closed and open positions for left and right hands doors.
Note!
The cams and switches are factory set, but minor adjustments may be needed depending upon
application. The short arm micro switch and top cam are for back check and presence detection sensor
inhibit. The top cam can be adjusted to the desired back check position, which is normally 80 degrees.
The long arm micro switch on the end of the operator is for latch. The latch position is factory set to
12 degrees. The bottom and top cams are both non-handed parts. One of the two remaining switches is
used for break out, which depends on the hand of the operator. The other switch is connected to TB1:
8 & 9 and can be used as a home switch to disable a sensor at the closed position. Only the top cam
needs to be adjusted for different handing of the operator.

4BDoor/Operator Handing
Door handing is determined by standing with your back to the hinge. The side to which the door
normally opens (right or left) is the handing of the door. Note, this information differs from manual
doors and there associated hardware.
