tions, and by careful adjustment to ensure that the operator can accommo-
date any variance
Auto Reversing
• An inherent safety feature that, when adjusted correctly in conjunction with the electronic sensi-
tivity, will cause the operator to stop and reverse its downward closing motion if it encounters an
obstruction
• In such an event the operator will detect the obstruction and reverse the direction of the closing
door, returning it safely to the fully open position
• This feature does not replace the requirement for an external entrapment protection device, but
is an added inherent safety feature
Handing Option
• This allows for the drive unit to be fitted to the RH side of the door only
• Although selectable, this must be specified at the time of ordering so that the door may be manu-
factured to accommodate the fully concealed fitment of the drive unit within the torque tube as-
sembly of the door

The new Pantheon electric door operator from Janus International is a unique new technology designed to make installa-
tion as easy as 1-2-3.
The Janus Pantheon Operator is a stronger and easier to install DC motor operator for today’s door industry, featuring a
simple floor level manual release system, soft start and soft stop operation. The electronic limits of the operator can be
controlled in three easy steps:
Once in the learn mode -
• Press a “learn” button to move the door to the open position... then
• Press a “learn” button to move the door to the closed position
• Press the “learn” button a final time… and that’s it!
There’s no moving switches or adjusting cams to get the door to open and close to the required position. Setting the lim-
its on the operator is easier than programming a cell phone, and user friendly for anyone to operate. In the event of a
power failure – once the power comes back on the door does not have to be reprogrammed – the logic control retains
the memory and will operate seamlessly.
Key Features and Benefits:
• Pantheon operators use low voltage DC motors, which are more quiet and efficient than standard AC motors.
• In the event that the door needs to be operated in the manual condition, the operator can be converted to manual op-
eration with the simple movement of a lever. The operator is controlled by a logic control which offers a soft start –
soft stop feature, ensuring that the motors are not subjected to undue stress during the starting and stopping se-
quence. The door will come to rest gently and smoothly, helping to prolong the motor life.
• The logic control has individually-controlled opening and closing force adjustments to compensate for small opera-
tional imbalances, which ensures that the door is operating at its optimal level.
• Connections of external devices are simple and easy to complete with removable plug sockets, which allow the wiring
to be done away from the logic controller and then simply plugged into the required position.
• A specifically-designed receiver unit and radio transmitter can be connected if required to enable the operator to be
controlled by remote control.
• Electronic limits can not be “lost” or “erased” in the event of a power failure or interruption.
• The logic controller has a front panel, which features a simple LED indicator that provides essential status information
as well as UP, DOWN and STOP operation.
• The logic controller has been designed with software and features to ensure that it complies with the new UL325 stan-
dard, effective in 2010.
• Increased strength – the internal reduction gear system enables the motor to lift the door easily, which reduces stress
and prolongs the motor’s life.
• Easier to install – electronic limits help save the installer time and effort
• Floor level manual release – a simple cable device enables the door to easily be switched to manual operation from
ground level.
• Warranty – operators come with a 1 year warranty against defects and workmanship.
• Also available in Commercial (a single motor, 12” version) and HD (a dual motor 12” version)
