. Preparation notes

1. Each (HO) hold open unit contains a door closer

and track assembly with hold open

electromagnet. The unit can be connected

directly to a fire control panel.

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”

hole for wire access.

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.

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.

Voltage input - 24VDC + 10% - 15%
