Check that the electrical feed, all conduits, and electrical junction boxes (for push plates or
other activation devices, if required) are correctly located in accordance with final approved
shop drawings and within the guidelines of the enforced local electrical codes.
1.6 Electrical
The 115±5VAC supply lines are connected to the black primary wires coming from the transformer and the ground wire is
attached to the operator header box. Mount the ON/OFF/HOLD OPEN switch in the header end plates to the latch side of the
unit (or closest to the control board).
The control board settings have been pre-set prior to shipment. It will be necessary for the door operator to be functional while
adjustments and settings are made. A black push actuator is mounted on the upper left corner of the circuit board to ease
in the adjustment process. Power up the unit, push an activating device and check to make sure that the spline pinion drive
rotates in the correct direction. Keep all wires away from moving parts and sharp edges that may cut into the outer casing of
the wires.
THE GROUND WIRE FOR THE INCOMING 115±5VAC POWER AND THE SYSTEM GROUND WIRE
CANNOT SHARE THE SAME GROUNDING STUD. GROUND THE INCOMING 115±5VAC ACCORDINGLY.
•Installation of any extra wiring for controls or accessories into the header unit shall be secured and away from
any moving parts.
•If the motor is not plugged into the circuit board, there is no resistance against the spring when manually opening
the door. The door or arm will close very quickly if opened.

Push Header
The Header Box on push installations is mounted flush to the bottom of the doorjamb header. It may require solid backing
material to compensate for the thickness of the door frame. Before fastening header box to the door frame, ensure that
your access holes for high and low voltage wires match. Header box should be mounted to the hinge side of the door.
For most applications, the header is equal to door opening plus 3”. This allows for a 1½” space on either side of the
Header Box to anchor the header box properly to the frame. The header box should be anchored with a minimum of
(6) Six, #14 x 1” Pan Quad Type A screws (provided.)
•The locations of the screws on the header will be application dependent.
•Fasten the header body as application requires. The header must support 200lbs.
•Do Not use Drywall Screws or Hollow Wall Anchors to mount the Back Plate / Header.
•Header MUST be installed 1.5 inches from hinge side for all Push/ Pull installation, regardless of
whether header is sized appropriately to door opening.
•For Push application with standard arm, the reveal is up to 14”. For greater reveal, extended arm is
needed.

Pull Header
Ensure before fastening header box to the door frame that your holes for high and low voltage wires match. Header box
should be referenced to the hinge side of the door and 1 3/8” above the bottom of the door frame (see figure below).
For most applications, the header is equal to the door opening plus 3”.
This allows for a 1.5 inch space on either side of the header box to anchor the header box properly to the frame.
For correct sized header, the header box should be anchored with a minimum of (6) six #14 x 1” Pan Quad Type A screws
(provided), but will also depends on what is being screwed into.
•The locations of the screws on the header will be application dependent.
•Fasten the header body as application requires. The header must support 200lbs.
•Do Not use Drywall Screws or Hollow Wall Anchors to mount the back plate / header.
•Header on pull applications must be mounted so the main drive pinion safety washer and machine screw
are above the top of the door. This is to ensure the spindle does not obstruct the swing path of the door.
•For Push application with standard arm, the reveal is up to 4”. For greater reveal, extended arm is
needed.
•For application with Universal Arm, Header will be installed differently. See section 3.3.
