10.1
Types of installation
Concealed Installation
The operator may be installed in two types of header (casing): Side Load and Bottom Load.
Side Load is the standard type of header. The operator is installed in the header from the side.
Bottom Load is used for special applications where side access may be limited (for example, where
the finished ceiling is flush with the bottom of the header). The operator is installed in the header
from the bottom. Concealed means that the operator and the header are placed between the door-
jambs with the door and header concealed within the plane of the wall.
10.2
General tips/Safety concerns
• For enhanced security and vandalism protection, always mount the operator access in the in-
terior of a building whenever possible.
• Make sure that the power is off before installing.
• Make sure that the door leaf and the wall are properly reinforced at the installation points.
• Inspect the door hinges before installation to ensure that they are in good repair.
• Unpack the operator and make sure that all parts are delivered in accordance with the packing
note.
