Before You Begin

• The thickness recommended for reinforcements in hollow metal doors and frames is charted.
• This template information is based upon the use of 5″ (127mm) maximum width butt hinges.
• Maximum frame reveal is 1/8″ up to 3-1/4″ (3 to 82.5mm) maximum for 6231 units.
• Before beginning the installation, verify that the door frame is properly reinforced and is well anchored in the wall.
• Concealed electrical conduit and concealed switch or sensor wires should be pulled to the frame before proceeding.

Fasteners for Frame:

• 1/4-20 Machine screws for hollow metal and aluminum.
• No. 14 x 2-3/4″ (70mm) long sheet metal screws for wood.

Installation

Mount backplate.

1. Determine right-hand or left-hand installation. (Figure 1)

2. Measure and mark the first mounting hole according to the template. (Figure 2)

3. Attach the backplate to the frame with a screw. Do not fully tighten the screw at this time.
   For Metal Frames:
   Use #7 drill and 1/4-20 tap for 1/4-20 machine screws.
   For Wood Frames:
   Use a 3/16″ drill and supplied screws for self-drilling, self-tapping screws.

4. Ensure the backplate is level and aligned with the door frame. (Figure 3)

5. Using the backplate as a guide, mark and drill the second hole. (Figure 3)

6. Insert the second screw and tighten both screws.

7. Using the backplate as a guide, drill and tap the remaining eight (8) holes in frame. (Figure 3)

8. Secure with eight (8) screws and tighten.

Mount the forearm with the shoe.

1. Measure and mark the door for the first forearm shoe mounting hole using a template. (Figure 4)
2. Drill hole.
   • For reinforced doors, drill and tap holes with #7 drill and 1/4-20 tap.
   • For wood doors or self-drilling screws, use a 3/32” drill.
   • For sleeve nuts and bolts, see illustration. (Figure 5)
3. Mark and drill the second hole using a forearm shoe as a template.
4. Secure forearm to door. (Figure 6)

Install end caps.

1. Install two (2) screws on each end of the backplate leaving about a 3/16″ gap between the head of the screw and the backplate. (Figure 7)Slide end caps behind screw heads and tighten screws. (Figure 7)

NOTE:

• NOTE: End cap with 3-position switch is always located on conduit side of backplate.
• NOTE: To retrofit closer assembly to an existing operator, screws, and fan inside of the end cap must be removed.

Install closer body assembly.

1. Using four (4) screws, install a closer body to the backplate. (Figure 8)
   NOTE:

   • Screws must be tightened in a cross pattern until all four (4) screws are tight. (Figure 8)
   • The closer body is in the proper orientation for PUSH SIDE application when the tube is NEAR the backplate. (Figure 8)

2. Using three (3) supplied cable management clips, secure cables along the closer body. (Figure 9)

Install power supply assembly.

1. Insert two (2) screws. Leave a 3/16″ gap between the head of the screw and the backplate. (Figure 10)

2. Slide power supply keyholes over screws allowing narrow slots of keyholes to rest on screws. (Figure 10)
   NOTE: Narrow slots of keyholes are always at the top and the control board is always at the bottom for proper installation. (Figure 10)

3. Tighten screws.

4. Plug the motor and ribbon cables from the closer body into the power supply. (Figure 11)
   NOTE: Use provided zip ties to manage any excess cable between the closer and the power supply so that cover can be attached without damaging cables. (Figure 11)

5. Connect 3 Position switch on the end cap to the power supply. (Figure 11)

Install the main arm.

1. Using a hex wrench, secure the main arm to the bottom pinion with a 1/4- 20x 1/2″ screw. (Figure 12)

2. Slide the main arm tube onto the forearm rod. (Figure 12)
   NOTE: If necessary, open the door for the tube to slide onto the forearm.

3. With the door fully closed, rotate the main arm toward the latch edge of the door until the arm tube is at a 90° angle (perpendicular) to the door. (Figure 13)

4. Use the arm screw provided with the main arm to secure the tube to the forearm rod. (Figure 13)

Adjust closing force.

NOTE:
The amount of effort to manually open or close a door is called closing force.

1. Using a 1/2″ socket wrench with a 3/4″ deep well socket, turn the nut at the end of the closer body tube to desired force. (Figure 14)
   NOTE: The window in the closer tube shows spring. (Figure 15)

NOTE:
If additional closing force is only required in the latching region, see Latch Boost and Lock Release features in separate programming manual 80-9363- 0022-020.

Attach cover and end cap label plates.

NOTE:
Attach cover after initial programming has been done. See separate programming manual 80-9363-0022-020.

1. Align cut-outs in cover to pinion shafts. (Figure 16)
2. Slide cover onto unit using end caps as guides.
3. Snap cover securely to back plate.
4. Attach a label plate to each end cap by snapping into place by hand with gentle pressure. (Figure 16)

WARNING:
Make sure no wiring is loose or can be caught by the cover when it is snapped into place.

You’ve now installed the 6231 PUSH SIDE Low Energy Operator. Continue with a separate Programming Manual 80-9363-0022-020 to set up and adjust the operator.
