The operator shall be capable of swinging interior or exterior doors weighing up to 220 pounds (100 kgs) up to 48” wide (1219 mm). The system shall consist of a electro-mechanical power open spring close swing door operator, self-learning microprocessor digital programmable control unit, aluminum header, door connecting hardware, operate controls [safety controls if desired specify] and on/off/hold open switch. The use of mechanical switches and or cams to determine door position shall not be permitted. The TTX II low energy swing door operator shall be completely engineered, manufactured and assembled in accordance with TORMAX USA Inc. procedures and specifications. The TTX II low energy swing door operator, control unit and header shall be factory assembled as a unit, adjusted and tested. All bearings shall be ball or roller type. No bushings shall be used. Provide 115VAC 60 HZ, 5 Amp, single-phase power supply. For multiple operators the electrical contractor shall provide service to each operator from junction box.
  1. Power Open Operation: The operator shall open the door with a fractional HPDC electric motor driving a forged rack and pinion and compression spring assembly through a patented re-circulating ball screw mechanism. The DC motor shall have a built-in protection circuit that interrupts current to the motor if the door is blocked open. The door arm and linkage assembly shall attach to a conical/hexagonal shaped stainless steel output shaft. Door opening speed as required by ANSI Standard A156.19. The drive train shall have positive, constant engagement. Operator shall stop the door in the open position and shall stall against an integral built-in spring loaded adjustable end stop. The door shall remain in the full open position for a minimum of 5 seconds or a minimum of 3 seconds if push/pull activation is used.
  1. Spring Closing Operation: The operator shall close the door by spring energy. Closing speed shall be controlled by employing the motor as a dynamic break. Closing spring shall be pre-loaded for positive closing action at a low material stress level. Door closing speed as required by ANSI Standard A156.19.
  1. Manual Operation: Operator shall function as a manual door closer in the direction of swing with or without electric power.
  1. Entrapment protection: Door forces and speeds generated during power opening and manual opening and spring closing shall conform to the requirements of ANSI Standard A156.19.
  1. Aluminum Extrusion: Bottom load “L” end cap mounting brackets shall have a minimum of .156 (4mm) wall thickness.
  1. Aluminum Extrusion Finish: Standard anodized finish shall be [select one: AA-M12-C22-A31 Clear, AA-M12-C22-A44 Dark Bronze or Black]. [Special anodized, painted and metal clad finishes are available upon request. Specify finish, type and color].
  1. Header Case shall be of the following design: Bottom load – lintel mounted unit measuring 5 3/4” high x 5 ½” wide x 31 ½” long (146 mm high x 140 mm wide x 800 mm long). Header case shall consist of an extruded aluminum header and cover plate, encased within aluminum “L” end cap mounting brackets. Access to the operator shall from the underside of header. The operator/controller mechanism shall be isolated with rubber pads and sealed against dust, dirt and corrosion within the header case.
