Controller Manual INTRODUCTION The ED400 is an electro mechanical, automatic opener, for single direction swing doors (left or right hand). The opener opens the door using electrical power, and closes it using a return spring. The manager may turn it Off, turn it On (automatic) or place it in Hold Open (to keep the door open indefinitely).
