4. Setup (Installation)
The Cisa 601/T Door Closer is designed for screw-on installation. Follow these general steps for proper mounting:
- Prepare the Door and Frame: Determine the desired mounting position (e.g., standard arm, parallel arm, top jamb) based on door type and opening direction. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, flat, and structurally sound.
- Mark Drilling Points: Use the provided template (if available) or measure carefully to mark the drilling points for the door closer body and the arm bracket.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked positions, ensuring they are of the correct size for the mounting screws.
- Mount the Closer Body: Securely attach the door closer body to the door or frame using the provided screws. Ensure it is level and firmly fixed.
- Install the Arm Assembly: Attach the main arm to the closer spindle. Then, attach the shoe bracket to the door frame or door, depending on the mounting type. Connect the arm to the shoe bracket.
- Adjust Arm Length: Adjust the length of the arm to achieve the correct angle for optimal closing action.
- Initial Adjustments: Perform initial adjustments for closing speed and latching force as described in the 'Operating Instructions' section.
Product Image:
This image displays the Cisa 601/T door closer unit. It features a gold-colored cast iron body, indicating its robust construction and aesthetic finish. The design suggests it is a hydraulic door closer, typically mounted on the door frame or door leaf to control the closing speed and force of a door.
5. Operating Instructions
The Cisa 601/T Door Closer is designed to automatically close a door after it has been opened. Its primary function is to control the closing speed and the final latching action of the door. Adjustments are typically made via two or more adjustment valves located on the closer body.
- Closing Speed Adjustment: This valve controls the speed at which the door closes from its fully open position until approximately 10-15 degrees from the frame. Turn the valve clockwise to decrease speed (slower closing) and counter-clockwise to increase speed (faster closing). Make small adjustments and test the door's closing action.
- Latching Speed/Force Adjustment: This valve controls the speed and force of the door's final closing action, typically the last 10-15 degrees, to ensure the latch engages properly. Turn the valve clockwise to decrease latching speed/force and counter-clockwise to increase it. This adjustment is crucial for ensuring the door closes completely without slamming.
Important: Do not overtighten adjustment valves. Excessive force can damage the internal mechanism. Always test the door's closing action after each adjustment.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Cisa 601/T Door Closer.
- Periodic Inspection: Annually inspect the door closer, mounting screws, and arm assembly for any signs of looseness, wear, or damage. Tighten any loose screws.
- Cleaning: Wipe the door closer body with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lubrication: The internal hydraulic mechanism is factory-sealed and does not require lubrication. Do not attempt to open the closer body.
- Functionality Check: Periodically check the closing and latching speeds to ensure they are still set correctly. Readjust if necessary.
