The purpose of this manual is to familiarize the installer and purchaser with the proper installaon and operaon of this system.
It is essenal that this equipment be properly installed and operaonal before the door is used by the public. It is the installer’s
responsibility to inspect the operaon of the entrance system to be sure it complies with any applicable standards. In the United
States, ANSI Standard 156.10 (Full Power) and ANSI Standard 156.19 (Low Energy) covers the GT20 Swing Door Operator Assembly.
Other local standards or codes may apply. Use them in addion to the ANSI standard. Both Full Power and Low Energy Swing door
Units are listed by UL according to UL325 and is idened as such on the label.
Instruct the building owners and operator on the essenals of the operaon of this device. The owner should follow these
instrucons to determine whether the door is operang properly and should immediately call for service if there is any malfuncon.
All installaon changes and adjustments must be made by qualied, NABCO trained technicians. Replacement labels and literature
may be obtained from local NABCO Entrances, Inc. Distributors. If the name of the local distributor is unknown, contact NABCO
Entrances, Inc. at 1-877-622-2694 for assistance.

It is recommended to install a FAIL/SAFE electric lock on Swing doors using Inverse Swing Doors. During normal operaon, the
FAIL/SAFE lock applies connuous pressure to keep the Swing door in a fully closed posion. During a Power Failure, the FAIL/SAFE
lock automacally unlocks, thus allowing the Swing door to fully open.
Do Not install Fail/Secure electric locks on Swing Doors using Inverse Swing Doors. Fail/
Secure electric locks will not allow the Swing door to open during a Power Failure.
