Operating and Adjustment

The DC135-D9016 door closer allows for precise control over the door's movement, ensuring smooth and safe operation. It features three adjustable valves to fine-tune the closing cycle.

Adjustment Valves

• Closing Speed (VC): Controls the speed at which the door closes from its fully open position until approximately 15 degrees from the frame.
• Final Stroke Speed (GF): Controls the speed of the final few degrees of closing, ensuring the latch engages properly without slamming.
• Opening Brake (FA): Provides resistance when the door is opened beyond a certain point (e.g., 70 degrees), preventing it from swinging open too forcefully.

The door closer is designed to allow controlled opening up to 180 degrees, depending on installation and door type.

Adjusting the Valves

To adjust the speed and brake functions, use a suitable tool (e.g., a flathead screwdriver) to turn the respective adjustment screws. Turn clockwise to decrease speed/increase resistance, and counter-clockwise to increase speed/decrease resistance. Make small adjustments and test the door's operation after each change.

Maintenance

The Tesa Assa Abloy DC135-D9016 door closer is engineered for high durability and minimal maintenance, having been tested for up to 500,000 opening and closing cycles.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all mounting screws to ensure they remain tight. Inspect the sliding guide and arm for any signs of wear or damage.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Lubrication: The internal mechanisms are factory-lubricated and generally do not require additional lubrication. If unusual noises or stiffness occur, consult a professional.
• Functionality Check: Regularly test the door's closing and opening behavior to ensure the speed and brake settings are still optimal. Readjust if necessary.
