Important I nformation
Important Notice!
To avoid bodily injury, material damage and malfunction of the product,
the instructions contained in this manual must be strictly observed dur-
ing installation, adjustment, repairs and service etc. Only Besam trained
experts should be allowed to carry out these operations.
Radio and Television Reception
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufac-
turer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television recep-
tion. It has been designed to comply with the emission limits in accord-
ance with EN 500811 (US market FCC Part 15) which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Re-orient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the receiver with respect to the equipment.
Move the receiver away from the equipment.
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!
Instructions, design, specifications and illustrations which are contained
in this manual are not binding. Rights reserved for changes without previ-
ous notice.

Introduction
This manual contains the necessary details and instructions for the installation,
maintenance and service of the Besam PowerSwing.
The Besam PowerSwing is suitable for most types of external and internal swing
doors. The operator can be mounted to walls on either side of the door for pull
or push action and is suitable for single or double doors fitted with butt hinges or
center pivots.
The motor, oil pump and hydraulic unit are combined into a compact unit mounted
alongside the control unit within the cover. The operator is connected to the door
leaf with a range of different arm systems.
Function Description
The Besam PowerSwing works electro-hydraulically. It opens with an AC-motor
that via a hydraulic unit and an arm system transmits the power to the door leaf.
The closing power is from a coil spring. The movement of the door is controlled
by limit switches and valve screws.
Opening
When an opening impulse is received by the control unit, the motor starts and
the hydraulic unit rotates the drive shaft and arm system (door) with high speed
towards open position. Before fully open position the speed is reduced to low
speed. The door stops and the motor rotation ceases when the selected door open-
ing angle is reached. This open position is kept by a hydraulic valve.
Closing
The spring closing starts when the hold open time has run out. Before fully closed
position the speed is reduced to low speed, which will be kept until the door is
completely closed. The door is kept closed by spring power. To overcome the
resistance of a striking plate a “lock kick” can be adjusted to required level.

Mechanical Installation
This instruction comprises the installation of the Besam PowerSwing with arm
systems PUSH which push the door open and PULL which pull the door open.
Always make sure, before commencing the installation, that the door leaf and the
wall are properly reinforced at the attachment points.
Base material Minimum requirements
Steel 5 mm (3/16")*
Aluminium 6 mm (1/4")*
Reinforced concrete min. 50 mm (2") from the underside
Wood 50 mm (2")
Brick wall Expansion-shell bolt, min. M6x85, UPAT PSEA
B10/25 min. 50 mm (2") from the underside
See also "Installation examples" page 37.
*Thin-wall profiles must be reinforced with rivnuts
Tools required
Torx T8, T10, T20 and T25
Metric hexagonal key 3, 4 and 6 mm.
Flatblade screwdriver, small
Torque wrench with metric Allen socket 6 mm.
Installation on double doors
If the operators are to be mounted at the same height with pushing and pulling arm
systems, the height is determined by the pulling arm system, PULL. The pushing
arm system PUSH must always have a shaft extension, minimum 50 mm (2"),
maximum 70 mm (2 3/4") to match the mounting heights visually.
Example: if PULL has a 20 mm (3/4") extension, the PUSH must have a 70 mm
(2 3/4") extension. If PULL has 0 mm extension, the PUSH must have a 50 mm
(2") extension.
For installation follow the instructions for the applicable arm system.
Note:
The short operator package requires the installer to follow the ”Mounting
Plate Applications” installation procedure. For jamb to jamb applications
(full length header box surface applied) the installer must use ”Adapter Plate
Application”.

Mechanical Installation
Door/Operator Handing
Operator Handing
Door Handing (Automatic Door Industry)
Door handing is determined by standing with your back to the hinges. The side to
which the door normally opens (right or left) is the handing of the door. The door
is an inswing door if it opens to the inside and an outswing door if it opens to the
outside. The diagram to the left shows a right-handed outswing door.
Door Handing (Architectural Hardware Industry)
You may occasionally see references to terms such as ‘right hand reverse’ or ‘left
hand reverse.’ See diagram below for definition, paying particular atten-tion to the
location and placement of the hinge. Because of the varied hardware items appli-
cable, a swing door type has to be identified by a specific hand. The hand of a door
is always as viewed from the exterior side of a door. Reverse designations apply to
such hardware as rim type panic exit devices and latch locks which have a beveled
latch for locking purposes on doors that swing out.

Note: Consider all power wire entry locations and secondary signaling wires
before preparing adapter plate.
Preparation of Adapter Plate
1. Cut the adapter plate to correct length, L.
2. Establish the ”hinge center line”, C
L1.
3. Mark and drill the six holes ø 8 mm (5/16”) for the fixing of the adapter plate
to the jambs and header. Countersink two holes as shown in the illustration
so that the screw heads do not interfere with the operator.
4. Mark, drill and thread 6 holes for the fixing of the operator and 4 holes for
fixing of the cover mounting clips with end plates.
Locating and Creating Slot in the Cover for the Drive Shaft
1. Use a 1” hole saw to cut the round hole for the output spindle.
2. Use a sabre saw to make two straight cuts.

Installing the Door Stop
1. Install door stop to top side of output spindle to prevent door from extending
beyond 90º.
2. Mount door stop when door is in open position with a clearance of 2 mm (2/32”)
as shown below. Fine adjust, if necessary, on limit switch and/or on armsystem.
Note! If door stop cannot be mounted on top of operator, remove washer and
mount stop on bottom side between shaft and arm system.
Checking the Door Movement
