1. PURPOSE
1.1 Discussion
This manual provides abbreviated descriptive information, wiring instructions, and tune-in
instructions for the MC521 controller used with Magic-Swing™, Magic-Force™, and Bifold
operators. The manual is intended as a quick-reference guide. Attachment 6 illustrates the MC521
controller controls and indicators.
1.2 Applicability
This manual is applicable on MC521 control box used with Magic-Swing™, Magic-Force™, and
Bifold operators.
1.3 Features and Functions
1.3.1 Magic-Touch™:A feature that allows the door to be actuated by a slight manual
movement of the door--without the need for an approach sensor. The MC521 control
box controls the Magic-Touch hold-open time delay. Magic-Touch can be used with
press plates or a radio control system, providing the system with two separate time
delays. Magic-Touch is not recommended for use with a dual door system using
Sentrex™. With dual door systems, Magic-Touch can be selected to open doors
independently or simultaneously.
1.3.2 Reverse On Obstruction: A reverse-on-obstruction feature causes the door to reverse
motion if an obstruction is met during door opening or closing.
1.3.3 Safety Check: This feature monitors the safety signal activation on every open cycle. If
a safety carpet or overhead safety sensor fails "open" or can no longer detect a
pedestrian, the door stays open for 12 seconds to indicate that there is a problem.
1.3.4 Emergency Breakout: Disconnects power to the motor when the door is manually
pushed in the emergency-out direction. The operator then automatically resets and
power is resumed.
1.3.5 2S Logic: Used in trained-traffic applications and is not compatible with sensors.
Allows door to open when switch is pushed and door to close when the next sequential
switch is pushed. 2S can be used with a safety sensor.
1.3.6 Automatic Open-Check Calculation: Open-check position—the area where the door
slows down before fully open—is calculated for approximately 80°in the opening
direction during first install sequence (FIS). Open-check length can be adjusted using a
Palm Pilot or the controller pushbuttons.
1.3.7 Low- and High-Energy Operation: Allows selection of low-speed range (low-energy
applications) or high-speed range (full-energy and all dual-operator applications).
1.3.8 Bifold Safety Sensor Logic: Allows selection of bifold logic versus carpet or timer
logic. Used in bifold door systems, it eliminates the need for a lockout relay for the
overhead safety sensor.
1.3.9 Single- or Dual-Door Selection: Allows selection of single- or dual-door operation.
1.3.10 Opening Speed Adjustment: Permits adjustment of door opening speed.

Rev. C, 11/9/05
3 of 31
1.3.11 Closing Speed Adjustment: On Magic-Force operators, a dual-adjustment closing speed
control with two rheostats permits independent adjustment of door closing speed and
closing check speed. On Magic-Swing operators, provisions are provided for the
installation of an optional single-adjustment closing speed control.
1.3.12 Open Check Speed Adjustment: Permits adjustment of door open check speed.
1.3.13 Torque Adjustment: Allows adjustment of the door opening force. Open torque, check
torque, and stall torque are independent adjustments.
1.3.14 Stall Logic: Used with a door-mounted sensor system to stop door motion when a
pedestrian or object is present.
1.3.15 One-Piece Switch Module: On Magic-Force operators, the individual breakout,
breakout status, close check, and auxiliary switches have been replaced with a single
one-piece switch module.
2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1.1 The Magic-Touch time delay must be greater than 5 seconds to ensure compliance with
ANSI A156.19, “American National Standard for Power Assist and Low Energy Power
Operated Doors,” specifications.
2.1.2 All ANSI/BHMA and UL Requirements in Attachment 7 must be met before the door is
put into operation.
3. WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Evaluating Power Requirements
3.1.1 EVALUATE door system power requirements as follows:
•ENSURE power source is a dedicated 117 VAC, 50/60 Hz source with 20A
circuit rating per two controllers.
•ENSURE power source is not shared with other equipment, i.e., cash registers,
EAS systems, or other electromagnetic interference generators.

3.3 Connecting Breakout Status Signal Wiring (Magic-Swing Operators)
WARNING
To prevent injury to personnel and damage to equipment, control box power must be deenergized before
connecting breakout status signal wiring.
CAUTION
If the motor is running and the breakout status switch is not connected, arcing across the breakout switch
contacts can occur. This will result in damage to the breakout switch. To prevent damage from switch
contact arcing, the breakout status switch must always be connected.
NOTE
1. The breakout status switch should be used in all applications where there is no positive door stop in
the breakout direction.
2. The auxiliary switch is the breakout status signal switch. The auxiliary switch was formerly the open
check switch on the operator switch plate (top cam).
3.3.1 Refer to Attachment 1, and CONNECT breakout status wiring.
3.3.2 REMOVE quick-connect terminal (brown wire) from the normally open terminal of the
auxiliary switch (formerly open check switch), and INSTALL onto normally closed
