LOW ENERGY APPLICATION NOTE When using the SW10/19 for a low energy application, Tucker Auto-Mation recommends the use of a door- mounted presence sensor on the approach side of the door to be used as a secondary activation device. This type of sensor can be installed at time of installation or can also be retrofitted.

STEP 5: OPTIONAL - PULL ARM INSTALLATION WITH INCREASED SPRING TENSION • Apply 120 VAC Main power to the control o Place the On-Off-Hold switch to the Hold Open position • Observe the Stop Point Screw on the operator as it is opening and ensure that it rotates to the full open position against the open door stop - leave the switch in the Hold Open position •...
STEP 6: ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL STOPS • CAUTION – DO NOT REMOVE THE STOPS • IMPORTANT - This step may be optional depending on your application • The mechanical stops are located on the top or bottom of the operator, depending on the hand of the door.
Page 17
IMPORTANT OPTION • If the door closes against a fixed door stop that is door frame mounted, the CLOSED STOP does NOT have to be adjusted to meet the stop-point screw. The step is then optional. • The open door stop setting is optional. A "SOFT STOP" is sometimes preferred depending upon the application, particularly if heavy manual use is anticipated.

• As a general rule for LED observation: o For normally open inputs, the respective LED will illuminate upon triggering the input. o For normally closed inputs, the respective LED will extinguish upon triggering the input. o This information can be used to help quickly troubleshoot and find triggered circuits.
Page 26
STEP 11 Cont.: POWER ON & TUNE-IN • Perform a setup at the control as follows: o Ensure main power is on o At the I/O control board, depress the SW1 button for approximately 5 seconds. When the red LED (LD2) at the Adjustment Board begins flashing rapidly, release the button.

• When wiring controls for use as a simultaneous pair, all required inputs need to be sync’d (connected) between Door #1 and Door #2 (shown as dotted lines in above diagram). • Example shown above: Push plates are connected to inputs 8, 10 and 11 at door #1 and are connected via sync line to Door #2. • When using pairs of controls, N.C. inputs 12, 13 and 14 may be sync’d to each other, OR each control may have it’s own jumpers installed. If any of these inputs are required for the application, the jumper will be removed for the respective input – in place of the jumper, a N.C. switching circuit will connected to Door #1, and a sync line will be connected to Door #2. • For simultaneous pairs, Tucker Auto-Mation provides a dual harness for the On- Off-Hold switch. Each plug-in connector for the control is wired in parallel to the On-Off-Hold switch located in the header end-cap. One switch will control both doors. • All control adjustments (speed & time delay) must be made independantly at each control. • All dipswitches at each control must be set independantly and must match between controls. • When using the TAP programmer, settings must be made independantly at each control and must match between controls. 34 920.1020.12...

APPENDIX- FIRE RATED DOOR APPLICATION • Perform the installation according to the instructions outlined in this manual. Additionally, ensure the following conditions have been met: o When attaching the door arm to the door, use steel binding posts (Sex Bolts) to attach. Do NOT use sheet metal screws into the face of the door.
Page 41
Only fire rated hardware shall be used on a fire rated door & frame assembly. o Ensure the Tucker SW10/19 that is being installed has the proper fire rated label applied to the header.
