INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
OF THE 4600 SERIES ELECTRONIC LOW ENERGY DOOR OPERATOR
The 4600 Series electric Auto-Equalizer series combines all door operator and
door control functions in one package. This versatile, easy-to-install system is low
maintenance and offers the following features:
- Top jamb mounting on either side of an interior door allows 90° of power opening.
( Mounting for exterior door on the inside only.)
- Manual opening up to 170° (4630) or 100° (4640).
- Easy access to on / off and hold open switches.
- Quiet, reliable operator delivers consistent performance.
- No expensive service contracts or periodic maintenance required.
- Fail safe operator acts as a standard door closer in event of power outage.
- Low energy operator does not require guard rails or safety mats.
- Advanced, easy-to-install controller module allows independent adjustment of:
» Door Opening Speed » Delay / Trigger Time for Sequential Option
» Door Opening Force » Electric Strike Delay Time
» Hold Open Time » 90° Slow Down
» Alternate Action Timeout » Safety Scanner Lockout Time

GENERAL INFORMATION
The 4600 series installation has three sections:
Section 1 - Fastening mounting channel to frame / electrical connections.
Section 2 - Installing closer body & arm assembly
Section 3 - Installation of controller and adjustment of settings.
Follow all instructions carefully. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage. Use
extreme caution when dealing with high voltage. High voltage connections should be made by a qualified
professional. If you have any questions, call LCN at 800 - 526 - 2400.
The 4600 series Auto-Equalizer is designed to meet the following codes & standards:
- ANSI A156.19, section 2.1
- ANSI A117.1, section 4.13.11 requirements.
- ADA law section 4.13.12
- UL listed for use on labeled doors.
- Complies with UL & NEC requirements for Class 1 (high voltage) & Class 2 (low voltage) by
providing separate conduit connections for each.
Both the 4631 & 4642 are non-handed, non-sized door operators that provide all the standard features
of a heavy duty LCN door closer; including independent adjustment of backcheck, main speed and latch
speed functions as well as adjustable closing power: 4631 (size 1 to 4) / 4642 (size 2 to 5). Both models
are shipped with LCN's "Ultra X" all-weather hydraulic fluid for reliable operation at a wide range of
temperatures. Requirements for installation are as follows:
- The 4631 is designed for pull side installation on the top jamb and requires a minimum door width of
36" and a 2" min. head frame. Top rail of door must be 1 " min. and butt hinge size should not
exceed 5". Maximum pull side reveal of ".
- The 4642 is designed for push side installation on the top jamb for both standard and flush ceiling
conditions. It requires a minimum door width of 36" and a 1 " min. head frame. Top rail of door
must be at least 1 " and butt hinge size should not exceed 5". The 4642 accomodates reveals up
to 4 ". For reveal depths of 4 " - 8", requires 4642 L (Long Arm). For reveal depths greater
than 8" - consult factory.
The 4600 series can accommodate both surface and concealed wiring
applications. Maximum AC current load is 1.5 amps.
A built-in 12VDC & 24VDC power supply (rated for 1 amp combined current load) can power
peripheral actuators, electronic strikes or mag-lock devices. The 4600 series is compatible with all
LCN 7900 series actuators and scanners. High-security card readers or keypads may also be used as
actuators. The 4600 series will accept inputs from a wide variety of security systems, allowing security
personnel to regulate accessability. A 4600 will accept a fire alarm input to deactivate unit when fire
alarm is triggered. A circuit breaker and resettable fuses protect high-voltage inputs and low-voltage
output circuits, respectively. To ensure proper electrical functions, installation should be made when
temperature is between 35° F up to 120° F .

SECTION 1 - SECURING MOUNTING PLATE ASSEMBLY TO FRAME
Prepare door and frame per template on page 4 for 4630 / page 5 for 4640. Be sure all holes are
located correctly before drilling and/or tapping. Mounting surface of frame must be vertically level.
Conduit access holes in frame are for If using concealed wiring
option, see step 2 below. , proceed to step 3.
Refer to correct template to determine proper location for conduit. Remove appropriate conduit
plugs, exposing conduit holes in back of mounting channel, as shown in . Attach 1/2" conduit
to mounting channel, as shown in . Place mounting channel into position on frame. Once
mounting channel is in position and flush on frame, insert fasteners and tighten securely.

Both high & low voltage conduit lines should be run to door frame and
Made accessible through two holes to be drilled in frame per proper
template on page 4 or 5.
Mounting channel must be mounted to frame running high & low
voltage conduit lines to the operator.

NOTICE:
Electrical power must be disconnected
The following procedures involve electrical connections and running conduit for both high & low
voltage wiring. during the installation of the 4600
series door operator. It is also important to examine the proper template for your installation to
determine the mounting channel position and correct conduit location.

The hydraulic regulation of the 4600 series has
been adjusted prior to shipment. Open door to at
least 90°, and observe closing of door. Make sure
the spring power and closing speed are adequate.
If adjustments are necessary, use 3/32 allen wrench
provided and refer to door diagram shown in .
Turn screws
clockwise to slow door speed, counter-clockwise
to increase speed. The installation of the controller
will make the and regulating
screws inaccessible.
Backcheck slows the door swing as it approaches
full opening. Increase the backcheck setting only if
necessary. Adjust by turning screw
clockwise by quarter turns.
To adjust for additional
closing power at latch:
Remove forearm set screw and open door,
separating rod from forearm tube.
Remove shoe screws and flip shoe 180° as
shown in at right. Re-attach shoe to
door.
Re-assemble arm, as in steps 3 & 4 on page 8.
NOTE: Do not back regulating
screws out of closer or an oil
leak will occur

Locate one decal on each side of door, near latch area. Decal must
be located at 58" (+/- 5") from the floor to the center line of the sign.
The decal location must be visible without interference from door trim
or auxiliary door hardware.
Clean the 6" x 6" area where decal is to be placed. Apply decal by
removing the backing and "rolling" it onto door. This will help prevent
air bubbles from being trapped under decal.

4. Electrical power can now be safely supplied to the 4600 series operator. The controller
settings have been pre-set prior to shipment. Adjustment information is detailed on pages 15-17. It
will be necessary for the 4600 series door operator to be functional while adjustments and settings
are made. Trigger actuator device(s) and check to make sure that door opens freely. Arm assembly
motion and door travel should not make contact or have interference with any object.
