Manual
Pre-Setup Evaluation
1.The AD500 is used for single door applications. For double door applications, use the AD500-DB
(2 units of AD500 door operators including an interlock module) to program the master and slave
door. The master door opens first and then closes last while the slave door opens second and closes
first. The double operator cover needs to be ordered specially.
2.When installing on outswing doors, there must be space at least 13 cm above the door header.
When installing on inswing doors, there must be space at least 16 cm above the door header.
3.The required door leaf width is at least 75 cm (minimum 80 cm wide door frame) at this time the
electromagnetic lock can only be installed upright.
4.It is strongly recommended to install on concrete or brick walls. For wood plates or partition boards,
add a piece of reinforced metal plate to hold the operator weight or prevent shaking when opening
or closing the door.
5.Note that this product cannot be installed on frameless glass doors or walls, sliding doors, and gates.
6.Install shaft extensions (DT-20/50/70) if the frame stop exceeds standard length (see measurement A
and C on page 10). If the frame stop exceeds 40 mm length to contact with pivot post, add spacers to
compensate for gaps and no shaft extensions are required.
7.For outswing applications: if the door frame and leaf depth (X) exceed 150 mm (see the illustration on
page 9), the lengthen arm must be used. The maximum depth (X) of the lengthen arm does not exceed
300 mm.
8.For inswing applications, the door leaf and frame depth do not exceed 70 mm (see the illustration on
page 10).
9.Check if the door moves smoothly and the hinges can carry the door load. If the door hinges are
warped, adjust the hinges first and then install the door operator.
10.The existing floor hinges or mechanical door closer needs to be removed.
11.The existing mechanical latch needs to be removed.
12.The existing door handle needs to be removed. (when using this product, it is strictly forbidden to
push or pull the door)
13.It is not recommended to install on exterior doors or gates.
14.This product closes the door electrically. When closing the door, there will be a slight collision sound.
Attach a door frame silencer if necessary.
15.It is suggested to install electromagnetic lock to prevent the door from being opened by force under
wind load conditions or access control.
