To Our Customers:
We’ve provided you with an owner’s manual to familiarize you with your automatic door system. It is
essential that you “know your system”, how it operates and how to maintain it to be compliant with the
industry standards for safety. It is your responsibility, as owner or caretaker of the equipment, to inspect
the operation of your door system on a daily basis to ensure that it is safe for all door users.
Within this manual you will find a description of the operation and maintenance requirements of your door
system, as well as the instructions for the “Daily Safety Check” procedure. It is suggested that the “Daily
Safety Check” be performed at least once a day and after any power outages. Occasional observance of
the doors as they are in use is also recommended.

Functional Description
For years, STANLEY swing door operators have set the standard for high-volume and high-performance.
Today, the M-Force™, Magic-Swing™ and Magic-Access™ operators combine this tradition of excellence
with the latest in material and electronic technology to give you the most advanced swing door operator
made.
The electro-mechanical design on the M-Force™, Magic-Swing™ and Magic-Access™
operators convert electrical energy directly into mechanical motion. The control box
features an advanced solid-state design with no moving parts and a motor control
system to minimize heat for increased electronic component life.
The M-Force™, Magic-Swing™ and Magic-Access™ operators are power-open,
spring-close operators that have built-in emergency door release capabilities with
controlled swing door return. Spring energy closes the door, with the speed
controlled by using the motor as a dynamic brake.
In case of power failure, the M-Force™, Magic-Access™ and Magic-Swing™,
operators function as manual door closers in the direction of swing.
The M-Force™, Magic-Swing™ and Magic-Access™ operators can be used with
controls that STANLEY offers including activation sensors (matless controls), push
plates, pull cords, wireless and wired push plates and access control.
The safety system uses a combination of active infrared technology and
microprocessor technology to provide maximum user safety at all times without
the use of mats. Door-mounted sensors continually monitor the swing path area.
The microprocessor interprets this information and prevents the door from
opening and closing, if any pedestrians or other obstructions are present. The
microprocessor and sensors are tuned in to establish safety zones by the trained
service technician.
An activation sensor and/or wall switch is used as an activating device with the
system. The entire system is programmed for “fail-safe” operation.
An automatic door is a complicated assembly of mechanical, electrical and electronic components that
make up a system that you depend on to provide convenience and safety to all users. Lack of maintenance
on your door equipment can have significant implications on the cost of ownership. STANLEY’s total
service and properly scheduled maintenance will extend the life of your equipment and keep it performing
to its full potential.

Operation and Daily Maintenance
The M-Force™ and Magic-Swing™ operators have been equipped with a power and function switch
assembly for customer convenience. The switch assembly is mounted either on the underside of the
header or in some cases, on the door jamb.
The modes of the function switch are:
• AUTO ON – Allows the door to function automatically
• OFF – Door remains closed but can be used manually if not locked
• HOLD OPEN – Allows the door to remain in the full open (hold open) position
• POWER SWITCH – recommended to only turn off the power switch if the door is being serviced
Magic-Access™ only utilizes a power “on/off” switch.
The M-Force™, Magic-Swing™ and Magic-Access™ operators have been designed with user safety as a
priority. A built-in emergency release feature allows the doors to be manually operated in either direction
in the event of an emergency or power failure. While the door is in the emergency release mode, a
disconnect switch will disable the automatic door system. The doors will not function automatically
unless the panels are closed completely to their normal position.
General housekeeping maintenance should be provided by the owner or responsible person in charge.
Check the door area for tripping or slipping hazards. Check that guide rails are firmly anchored. There
should be no bulletin boards, literature racks, merchandise displays, or other attractions in the door area
where people could possibly be hit by the door.
Inspect the finger guard to see that it is secure and in good repair. Check all door panels for broken or
cracked glass. Glass panels should be made of a safety- type material. Stanley Access Technologies
recommends that you clean the automatic door system using the following procedure:
1. Glass – Clean with water and a cotton cloth or use Windex™ or other like‐product with a
detergent and alcohol‐based cleaner.
2. Aluminum – Clean with a mixture of equal parts Windex or other like‐product and Simple
Green™ All Purpose Cleaner and a cotton cloth.
3. Sensors - Clean the lenses of the sensors with a dampened cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onlens.
4. DO NOT USE any product with Alkalide or other sodium‐based product as it could
deteriorate the aluminum finish.
Inspect the door(s) to make sure the decals are properly displayed. See diagrams on pages 7 and 8.
A “Daily Safety Check” of the doors should be completed at a minimum of once a day. Please see the
attached “Daily Safety Check” list for procedures. When performing a “Daily Safety Check”, pay attention to
how your door system works. If you encounter a difference in performance, whether it be mechanical or
sensor issues, discontinue the door operation and call for service.

DAILY SAFETY CHECK
For Your Customers’ Safety and Your Own Protection
Perform This Safety Check on Each Automatic Swinging Door Daily
And After Any Power Outage or Generator Test
SWING DOOR SYSTEMS WITH ELECTRONIC SENSORS
When electronic sensors are used, the detection zones will be similar to those created by “opening” and “safety”
mats, but they will be invisible to the eye. A walk-test of the zones will give an indication of proper sensor
operation.
1. Walk towards the door from several angles. When you are about five feet from the door, you will enter the
“opening” or “activating” zone. The door should swing open smoothly to the full open position and stop without
impact.
2. Walk through the doorway into the “safety” zone. While standing in the “safety” zone, the door should remain
open.
3. Walk out of the safety zone. After a brief time delay, the door should close to the fully closed position and stop
without impact.
4. With the door closed, walk into the “safety” zone (the area the door swings through while opening). Have a
second person enter the “opening” zone. The door should remain closed as long as you are in the “safety”
zone.
5. STANLEY electronic sensors include “Stall Logic”, to test the STANLEY electronic sensor including “Stall
Logic”, stand just outside of the safety zone. Have a second person walk into the “opening” zone. As the door
starts to move, enter the safety zone. The door should come to an immediate controlled stop and stay in the
“stall” position until you step out of the safety zone. When the “safety” zone is clear, the door should resume
opening to the full open position.
6. For paired doors, each door must be checked independently of the other. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each
panel to verify individual sensor function.
SWING DOOR SYSTEMS WITH MAT CONTROLS
1. Step on the “opening” or “activating” mat several times in different spots. Door should swing open smoothly to
full open position and stop without impact.
2. Step through the doorway onto the mat on the other side and stand on several different spots for about ten (10)
seconds in total. Door should remain open.
3. Step off the safety mat. After a brief time delay, the door should close to the fully closed position and stop
without impact.
4. With the door fully closed, step on the “safety” mat. Have a second person step on the “opening” mat. Door
should remain closed as long as you remain on the safetymat.
5. Check the mat molding and threshold strip. It should be complete and secured with all requiredscrews.
If you have a problem you cannot correct, turn off the door operating equipment and call your servicerepresentative.
DOORS, FRAMES, FINGER GUARDS
1. Check the door area for tripping or slipping hazards
2. Check that rails are firmly anchored.
3. Check all door panels for broken or cracked glass. There should be no bulletin boards, literature racks,
merchandise displays, or other attractions in the door area where people could be hit by the door.
4. Door should have decals properly displayed.
5. Inspect finger guard if there is one. It should be secure and in goodrepair.
