INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Refer to Approved Submittal Drawings for typical installation dimensions and locations.
Preparation - New Construction
The surface on which the DDS Sliding Door Operator is to be mounted should be free of excess mortar splatter, true to
architectural dimensions and flat in respect to the door opening. If the Architectural Plans and Specifications require embedded steel
plates for welding the DDS Sliding Door Operator in place, these embed plates are to be installed by the General Contractor prior
to installation of the DDS Sliding Door Operator and must all be in the same plane. The DDS Sliding Door Operator can be
bolted directly to the wall, but DDS recommends the use of embedded steel plates and welding these items securely to the wall. Any
items located within harms way of the installation should be protected from damage.
Preparation - Existing Construction (retrofit)
All ceilings, floors, walls and glass should be protected from any damage that could occur during the demolition of the existing
devices. Fans should be used to suck out all dust, smoke and fumes caused by demolition, preparation and installation of the new
DDS Sliding Door Operator. If existing embeds are able to be used for the new installation it will be noted on the Architectural
Plans and Specifications.
Layout
A. To determine the bottom height of the DDS Sliding Door Operator use the door opening height from the Architectural Door
Schedule.
1. Mark this height (above Finish Floor) at the Lock Pilaster Column side of the door opening, then use a precision
leveling device to transfer this height towards the open side by twice the door width, then snap a line between the
end marks (check this line for level).
B. For DDS Sliding Door Operator that are bolted to the wall (not welded)
1. To determine the bottom mounting holes height, snap a parallel line 3" above the bottom height line (check this line
for level).
2. To determine the top mounting holes height, snap a parallel line 10-1/2" above the bottom height line (check this line
for level).
3. To determine the center mounting hole locations
a. Determine the center-line of the Rear Lock Tube, then measure 4" from this center-line towards the open
side of the DDS Sliding Door Operator and make a vertical line between the two horizontal chalk lines.
4. To determine the left and right mounting hole locations
a. Measure the hole centers on the back of the DDS Sliding Door Operator then transfer them to the
appropriate side making a vertical line between the two horizontal chalk lines.
5. Use only high quality 1/2" or 5/8" concrete anchor bolts to fasten the DDS Sliding Door Operator to the wall. Make
sure the mounting holes are drilled accurately.
C. For DDS Sliding Door Operators that are bolted to the wall (top only) and welded at the bottom
1. To determine the top mounting hole height, snap a parallel line 10-1/2" above the bottom height line (check this line
for level).

2. To determine the center mounting hole locations
a. Determine the center-line of the Rear Lock Tube, then measure 4" from this center-line towards the open
side of the DDS Sliding Door Operator and mark on the horizontal chalk line.
3. To determine the left and right mounting hole locations
a. Measure the hole centers on the back of the DDS Sliding Door Operator then transfer them to the
appropriate side marking on the horizontal chalk line.
4. Use only high quality 1/2" or 5/8" concrete anchor bolts to fasten the DDS Sliding Door Operator to the wall. Make
sure the mounting holes are drilled accurately.
5. Make sure that the embeds installed by the General Contractor are in the same plane as the wall and are installed
per the Architectural Plans and Specifications.
Device Housing
A. Remove the Cover Screws open the Transom Cover to be able to remove the Transom Access Panel saving all the
hardware for re-installing.
B. Tack weld and/or fasten the Device Housing exactly as shown on this drawing, paying particular attention to the Device
Housing being level from left to right and front to back.
Lock Pilaster Column
A. Tack weld the Lock Pilaster Column in place exactly as shown on this drawing, paying particular attention to keeping the it
perpendicular and square to the transom.
Rear Lock Tube
A. Un-assemble the Rear Lock Tube.
B. Loosen the Device Backplate to allow the Lock Bar to be installed.
C. Slide the Rear Lock Tube assembled with the Lock Bar (top threaded tab facing towards the wall) up through the 1 1/4" X 1
1/2" rectangular hole located at the bottom of the Device Housing.
D. With the Lock Bar in place push the Rear Lock Tube up to the Device Housing, check that it is perpendicular to the transom
and tack weld in place paying particular attention not to get any weld splatter on the Lock Bar.
E. Assemble the Cover on the Rear Lock Tube
Wall Guide
A. Install the Wall Guide exactly as shown on the drawing holding the dimensions and it must remain parallel with the Device
Housing. Be sure not to burn through the Door Lock Tube while welding the Wall Guide as this will cause the Lock Bar to
not function properly.
Door Hanger and Guide
A. Install the Door Hanger and Bottom Door Guide on the door exactly as shown on the Approved Submittal Drawings. Pay
particular attention to the dimensions on the drawing as they must be welded true to the back plane of the door.

parts.
Carriage Assembly
A. Remove the nylon tie straps that hold the Motor Mount Assembly for shipping, then back out the bolt that locks the Unlock
Master Bar and move the bar towards the side that the door closes. This will put the Pinion Gear out of the way.
B. Install the Carriage Assembly (make sure the door numbers match) as shown on the drawing.
Door
A. Install the door on the Carriage Assembly.

C. Adjust the door so that it lines up with the Rear Lock Tube and the Eccentric Door Hanger Bolts are as close to center
height as possible. Now tighten the 1/2" nuts.
D. Make sure the Pinion Gear is still disengaged from the Rack using manual means then move the door open to closed a few
times to make sure there are no obstructions and the door travels freely with out binding.
Door Receiver
A. The notch at one end of the Door Receiver is to be placed at the bottom towards the back of the operator. Do not deviate from
the clearance dimensions at the top of the Door Receiver as this is required to clear the Access Cover.
B. Make sure that the door mates with the Door Receiver leaving equal space on both edges. Now tack the Door Receiver to
the Lock Pilaster Column. Open and close the door a few times to assure the proper fit, then finish welding per the
Architectural Plans and Specifications.
