2 SAFETY
2.1 Appropriate use
The swing door drive mechanism F4 has been exclusively designed for operating swing
doors. Any other use beyond these application limits is deemed inappropriate and inad-
missible!
In the event of an inappropriate use of this system, the safety of the user may be jeopar-
dized. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any resulting damages or injuries.
2.2 Safety notices
The present instructions uses the following symbols and notes in order to point out certain
residual dangers:
Warning:
Involving danger to life and limb.
Attention:
A situation where material could be damaged or the function impaired.
Note:
Hints which facilitate the work.
2.3 Safety regulations
2.3.1 Principles
• The installation has been calculated, designed and manufactured on the basis of the
latest state-of-the-art technology and the generally recognized safety-relevant rules and
regulations. It may only be operated if it is in perfect condition, taking into account the
specications of the present manual. Any use beyond the dened application limits is
inadmissible!
• The installation is to be operated and maintained in such condition that the safety is
guaranteed at all times. An integral part of this condition is the appropriate use, the
compliance with the operating conditions prescribed by the manufacturer, as well as the
regular service (maintenance/checking).
• The installation may only be installed and operated in dry rooms. If this condition cannot
be fullled, the customer must provide sufcient protection from moisture.
• The installation must not be mounted within locations presenting explosion hazards.
The presence of ammable gases or smoke represents a considerable safety hazard.
• All further interventions on and modications of the installation that are not described in
the present instructions are forbidden!

Operator manual
• Wrapping materials (such as plastic foil, polystyrene foam, strings, ....) represent a
source of danger for children and must therefore be kept out of reach of the latter.
• Transparent door wings (or their surfaces) must be clearly recognizable, e.g. by means
of a permanent marking or dyed materials.
• The secondary closing edges must be designed by customers in such a fashion as to
eliminate any dangerous cutting and pinching zones.
• In order not to create any dangerous squeezing and shearing points, no structural mo-
dication must be made within the door surroundings, without prior authorization from
Gilgen. Furthermore, it is important that no objects (such as furniture, pallets, etc.) be
placed in the vicinity of the door.
• The swing door drive mechanism F4 must only be used for swing doors having a mini-
mum clearance height of 2 m.
2.3.2 Service (maintenance/checking)
In order to guarantee the safety of the users at all times, the installation must be checked
with regard to its safe condition before the rst commissioning and during normal opera-
tion, at least once a year, by a competent specialist. The correct maintenance/checking
must be conrmed by entering the date and signature into the control booklet.
2.3.3 Safety devices
It is inadmissible to bypass, shunt or disable the safety devices. Any defective safety
devices may not be disconnected in order to be able to continue the operation of the
installation.
2.3.4 Malfunctions
If any malfunctions occur which might be detrimental to the safety of the users, the instal-
lation must be immediately taken out of operation. It may only be taken back into operati-
on after the malfunction has been repaired and all danger eliminated.
2.3.5 Accessories/Spare parts
A safe and reliable function of the installation can only be guaranteed if it is operated with
the original Gilgen accessories/spare parts. Gilgen declines all responsibility for damages
resulting from unauthorized modications of the installation or from the use of foreign
accessories/spare parts.

3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3.1 General remarks
The swing door drive mechanism F4 allows an automatic opening and closing of swing
doors. The door is opened either automatically or manually via the control elements. The
closing is initiated upon expiry of the programmed hold-open time. If the Push-and-Go
function is enabled, the door just requires a slight manual push upon which the drive unit
carries out an automatic opening sequence.
The operating characteristics of the door can be determined via the program switch
(selection of the operating modes).
A swing door installation may consist of the elements designated hereafter:
A Branch box* F Door wing
B Detector* G Key-operated pivoting switch*
C Swing door drive mechanism H Push-button*
D Safety element* I Program switch
E Electric lock/Electric door opener*
* Option

Operator manual
3.2 Normal operation
The (motorized) door opening is performed automatically via impulse generator or ma-
nually by means of a push-button. The door is automatically closed (by means of spring
pressure) as soon as the programmed hold-open time has expired. The damping unit
added to the motor ensures a controlled closing.
3.3 Function in the event of a mains failure
Normally the door wing is closed from any position by means of spring power. The dam-
ping unit added to the motor ensures a controlled closing.
However, an opening can be achieved by a simple transformation. In this case, the door
wing is opened from any position by means of spring power and remains in the OPEN
position until the mains supply has been restored.
3.4 Motorized closing
Normally the door wing is closed (by means of spring power) upon expiration of the pro-
grammed hold-open time. If for some reasons the spring power is not sufcient for closing
the door wing, the latter can be closed by the motor (in this case it is recommended to
install the appropriate safety elements).
3.5 Automatic closing sequence control
For bi-parting swing doors, two completely separate F4 swing door drive mechanisms are
used, which are electrically connected to each other.
