Herewith declares the following on AD500 Automatic Door Operator for swing doors:
AD500 is one way direction only and used on single doors
AD500 Automatic Door Operator cannot be installed with other mechanical devices (e.g. door closers) except
electric door locks.
UL listed and in conformity with other CE directives: Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (EN61000) and Low
Voltage Directive (EN 60950-1)
Warranty: 3 years (Factory test: 1 million cycles)
Product should be operated within the recommended door weight range. A reduction in performance is expected
when operating outside of the recommended range.
The performance of the door operator may be affected by different independent variables such as friction, preload
(wind pressure), and other ambient factors. These factors may change the performance of the door operator and
its working life and parts. Furthermore, the surroundings must be considered to ensure the operator’s durability
and smooth operation.

Operating voltage: 100~240 VAC

3. Product Features
Door weight range: 50~150 kg
Four modes of operation: Auto Mode/ Hold Mode/ Manual Mode/ Push Mode
Obstruction detection - If the door is obstructed during operation, the operator will stop the door
and reverse movement
Backup battery input for emergency power supply
Operates with infrared safety sensors, wall push buttons, card readers, or radio frequency devices
Adjustment of hold-up time, opening/closing speed, and opening angle
Easy integration with electric locking devices and access control systems
Make sure to identify whether the door swing direction is inswing or outswing before installing the door
operator. Use the push arm attachment for outswing doors and the sliding arm and track assembly for
inswing doors.
The AD500 automatic door operator uses a DC motor to open the door. It closes the door by motor
and spring force.
When an opening signal is received by the control unit, the door is opened at the operator-adjusted
opening speed until it reaches the back check position, where it decelerates to a slower speed.

6. Before Installation
For security and vandalism prevention, always mount the operator access in the interior of a building
whenever possible.
This product is used only for single door applications. The AD500-DB automatic operator is used on
double doors.
Examine the indoor and outdoor wind pressure before installing the AD500. To assure the proper
operation and the best performance, please make a regular check of your operator.
Make sure that the door leaf is properly reinforced at the installation points.
Consider all power wire entry locations and signaling wires before preparing for installation.
Stand with your back against the hinges. If door opens at your left side, it is left-handed. If door opens
at your right side, it is right-handed. Right Hand shown in the diagram.
Make sure to identify the door swing direction, whether left hand or right hand, and inswing or outswing.
The operator must be installed inside of the room.

Pre-Setup Evaluation
1.The AD500 is used for single door applications. For double door applications, use the AD500-DB
(2 units of AD500 door operators including an interlock module) to program the master and slave
door. The master door opens first and then closes last while the slave door opens second and closes
first. The double operator cover needs to be ordered specially.
2.When installing on outswing doors, there must be space at least 13 cm above the door header.
When installing on inswing doors, there must be space at least 16 cm above the door header.
3.The required door leaf width is at least 75 cm (minimum 80 cm wide door frame) at this time the
electromagnetic lock can only be installed upright.
4.It is strongly recommended to install on concrete or brick walls. For wood plates or partition boards,
add a piece of reinforced metal plate to hold the operator weight or prevent shaking when opening
or closing the door.
5.Note that this product cannot be installed on frameless glass doors or walls, sliding doors, and gates.
6.Install shaft extensions (DT-20/50/70) if the frame stop exceeds standard length (see measurement A
and C on page 10). If the frame stop exceeds 40 mm length to contact with pivot post, add spacers to
compensate for gaps and no shaft extensions are required.
7.For outswing applications: if the door frame and leaf depth (X) exceed 150 mm (see the illustration on
page 9), the lengthen arm must be used. The maximum depth (X) of the lengthen arm does not exceed
300 mm.
8.For inswing applications, the door leaf and frame depth do not exceed 70 mm (see the illustration on
page 10).
9.Check if the door moves smoothly and the hinges can carry the door load. If the door hinges are
warped, adjust the hinges first and then install the door operator.
10.The existing floor hinges or mechanical door closer needs to be removed.
11.The existing mechanical latch needs to be removed.
12.The existing door handle needs to be removed. (when using this product, it is strictly forbidden to
push or pull the door)
13.It is not recommended to install on exterior doors or gates.
14.This product closes the door electrically. When closing the door, there will be a slight collision sound.
Attach a door frame silencer if necessary.
15.It is suggested to install electromagnetic lock to prevent the door from being opened by force under
wind load conditions or access control.
