Fasten the header unit to the jambs using (5) 1/4-20 x 1” hex bolts per side. (7/16” socket/wrench required.)

Assembly

Place the header & jamb assembly into the rough opening.
Level all sides and shim as required.
Fasten assembly into rough opening, after verifying unit is level and plumb in all directions.

The mounting of the operator to the rough opening must meet applicable building codes and standards.

Sidelite Mounting

Feed the safety beam cables through the pre-drilled holes in the header and lay in the radiused trough as shown above.
Stand the sidelite in place and plumb all sides. If necessary use shims below the track to level any unevenness in the flooring.
Secure the sidelite in position using clamps or similar means.

Securing the Sidelite

Verify that the sidelite is plumb in all directions and properly seated against the jamb.
Pre-drill holes through header and sidelite on top with 1/8” drill.
Use screws to attach the sidelite on top, to the header.
Secure the bottom of the sidelite by drilling through the holes in the floor rail, shim as necessary, then fasten into place.

Verify that the sidelite is plumb in all directions and make any necessary adjustments.

Vertical Alignment for SX panel

Using the eccentric carrier wheel (CW), and the anti-riser wheel (AW), level the sliding panel. Tighten hex nuts to secure the adjustment.

Adjustment of the anti-riser roller: The anti-riser roller should not contact the top track anywhere along the slide path of the door.

SX Panel Centerline Adjustment

With the lower belt bracket securely fastened and the upper belt bracket in its loose position, the SX panels can be properly adjusted to their center position.
After panels are centered, fasten upper belt bracket to carrier. (7/16” socket or wrench required.)

Adjustment of the Breakout-Unit

Loosen the set screws (a, b & c) to prevent interference while adjusting door. (7/32” Allen wrench required.)
Use the adjustment screw (d) to lift (CW), or lower (CCW), the leading edge of door.
Continue adjustment until the re-latch profiles are properly aligned.
Tighten all set screws (a, b & c) until tight and secure.

Recheck the latched position alignment and readjust as necessary.

Adjustment of the Roller Catch

Align the roller catches as illustrated using the adjustment screws. (3mm Allen wrench tool required.)
Pay close attention to the disengagement or breakout force.
Do not exceed ANSI A156.10 Standards.

Adjustment of the End Stops

End stops are installed at the factory. Adjustments should be made by loosening the bolt and sliding the stop to the appropriate position. Be sure adjustments are made symmetrically to the door opening, while providing proper finger safety per ANSI A156.10 standards. (½” socket or wrench required.)
