2. Read entire instruction sheet prior to installation
and refer to NFPA 72E. Standards may be
obtained from THE NATIONAL PROTECTION
ASSOCIATION, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269.
3. Reference unit carton for unit mounting style and
voltage.
4. Prepare door and frame for fasteners using the
appropriate template. Mark, drill, and tap holes
as indicated. If surface wiring is used, omit 7/8”

5 Final steps
1. After installation is completed, check all connections. Apply power to units.
2. Open door so slide block engages with hold open assembly.
3. Advise fire officials prior to testing.
4. Activate system into alarm so the electromagnet releases and the doors close.
5. If the closer is used in conjunction with a detectored unit, trip the test switch of the main closer
detector as explained in the test procedure for that unit. After a short time delay, the hold open
electromagnet of both units will release and the doors will close. Resetting the test switch will allow
the units to return to standby.
. Check connections

Testing
Operation
Covers
IMPORTANT: THE UNIT MUST BE TESTED AFTER THE INSTALLATION, BY THE END USER, TO ASSURE
THAT THE DOOR CLOSER UNITS FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN THE ALARM SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED.
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM MUST ALSO BE TESTED PERIODICALLY AFTER THE INITIAL INSTALLATION TEST,
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TESTING OF THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. THE END USER IS ALSO
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE TO RETAIN THE SYSTEM IN WORKING
ORDER.
NORMAL: The closer unit’s solenoid will be
energized across a normally closed
alarm contact from 24VDC, 24VAC
or 120VAC power supply based on
unit voltage.
FIRE ALARM: When the alarm sounds, the
alarm contact will open and
interrupt current to the solenoid
which releases the hold open
allowing the door to close and latch.
