Description:
This document provides a concise guide to advanced door operator settings. These parameters help optimize performance in challenging environments such as high wind areas, pressure-sealed doors, or accessibility-focused applications.
Power Close and Speed
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
11 | Power Close | Powered closing of door to positive latch (toggle) 0 = OFF, 1 = ON | Enables powered closing to fully latch the door. Useful in high-pressure environments or where positive latching is required. | 0-1 | 0 |
12 | Power Cls Spd | Power closing force adjustment | Adjusts the force applied during power closing. Higher values provide stronger force to overcome resistance. | 1-35 | 20 |
13 | Powr Cls Angle | Power Closing engage angle | Sets the door angle at which power closing begins. Larger angles start power closing earlier in the cycle. | 10-45 | 15 |
Introduction:
The power close feature enhances door latching performance in environments where additional closing force is required, such as pressurized rooms or areas requiring secure sealing.
When to Use:
Use this setting when the door fails to fully latch due to air pressure, gasket resistance, or mechanical misalignment. Also useful in outdoor or high-wind installations.
Notes and Tips:
- Excessive force may result in increased wear or user safety concerns.
Wind Brake Setting
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
21 | Wind Brake | Turn ON/OFF wind break feature 0 = OFF, 1 = ON | When enabled, the wind brake helps resist wind pressure during door opening, improving stability in windy environments. | 0-1 | 0 |
22 | Wbrake Speed | Wind buffer force | Sets the strength of the wind buffer. | 1-99 | 10 |
23 | Wbrake Angle | Wind buffer engage angle | Defines the door angle where wind buffer engages. | 25-110 | 60 |
Introduction:
The wind brake function helps resist wind pressure during door opening, helping to stabilize movement against wind or pressure variations.
When to Use:
Activate this setting in outdoor environments or locations with frequent strong air currents that affect door movement
Notes and Tips:
- When Wind Brake is ON, users must push the door fully open to engage the system correctly.
- A quick release after a partial push may be misinterpreted as an obstruction.
Preload Setting
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
19 | Preload Time | Pull time door before opening to release pressure (10th of second) | Sets the duration the door pulls in before opening to relieve pressure. Adjust the value if there’s trouble with an electric strike. | 0-50 | 0 |
20 | Preload Spd | Pull force of door before opening to release pressure | Adjusts the force of the preload pull before opening. | 50 |
Introduction:
Preload applies a brief reverse pull before the opening cycle to relieve pressure from electric strikes or seals.
When to Use:
Enable this feature when door binding occurs at opening due to air pressure or locking systems that resist outward movement.
Notes and Tips:
- Adjust preload speed based on door size and sealing conditions.
Reactive Mode Setting
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
28 | Reactivate | 0 = No reactivation until fully closed, 1 = Allows reopening during closing, 2 = Touch-reverse on closing obstruction | Sets door behavior when a second open signal is received during the closing cycle. | 0-2 | 1 |
Introduction:
Reactive mode controls how the door responds when another open signal is received during the closing cycle.
When to Use:
Use this when quick response to motion sensors or push buttons is needed, especially in high-traffic areas.
Notes and Tips:
- Mode 2 (touch-reverse) is ideal for ADA compliance or safety-conscious environments.
- Mode 0 should only be used in secured zones where reactivation must be ignored until fully closed.
Quick Open Setting
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
27 | Quick Open | 0 = Slow ramp from full closed, 1 = Standard ramp, 2 = Quick “kick-out” for fast opening | Sets acceleration profile from closed position. | 0-2 | 1 |
Introduction:
Quick open settings control how rapidly the door accelerates from a fully closed position.
When to Use:
Use higher quick-open levels in fast-paced environments (e.g., hospitals, logistics) requiring rapid access.
Notes and Tips:
- Avoid in quiet or residential settings due to increased motor noise.
Door Resist Setting
Index | Parameter | Description | Function Behavior / Effect of Adjustment | Value | Default |
01 | Overload | Obstacle Detection Sensitivity | Lower values increase sensitivity, making the door stop or reverse more easily when resistance is detected during the opening cycle. Higher values decrease sensitivity, better handling wind or pressure but may delay obstacle detection. | 60-80 | 70 |
26 | Easy Open | 0 = Heavy, 1 = Standard 15lbs, 2 = Light 5lbs | This refers to pounds of force needed to push the door manually. | 0-2 | 1 |
Introduction:
These parameters govern how the door responds to resistance and how easy it is to push manually when in standby.
When to Use:
Adjust based on user strength and environmental resistance (e.g., air seals, wind).
Notes and Tips:
- Higher Overload values reduce false positives in windy areas.
- Lower Easy Open values may result in unwanted door activation by light touches.
