2 Header to Jamb Assembly

Fasten the header unit to the jambs using five 1/4-20 x 1" hex bolts per side. A 7/16" socket or wrench is required for this step.

A detailed diagram shows the header unit being attached to the jambs, with magnified views of the connection points.

3 Assembly

1. Place the header & jamb assembly into the rough opening.
2. Level all sides and shim as required. Note: The mounting of the operator to the rough opening must meet applicable building codes and standards.
3. Fasten assembly into rough opening, after verifying unit is level and plumb in all directions.
4. Place floor track in position.
5. Find the highest floor elevation and shim accordingly.

A diagram illustrates the assembly process, highlighting the importance of leveling and securing the unit.

4 Sidelight mounting

Align the "SO” panel 90° to the “SX” track and 80° to the vertical jamb. Place the “SO” panel onto the bottom pivot mounted on the jamb.

Insert beam wires into the top pivot, bushing, and vertically through the header. Attention: Be careful not to damage the safety beam cable.

Diagrams show the alignment of the "SO” panel and the insertion of beam wires, including a magnified view of an adjustable eccentric bushing for alignment.

5 Securing the Sidelight

1. Push "SO" Panel vertically to align with jamb. Attention: Be careful not to damage the wires.
2. Rotate the upper "SO” arm and lightly fasten to the screw plate located in the header.
3. Align and plumb the "SO” Panel.
4. Tighten three 1/4-20 x 5/8 fasteners in the "SO” top pivot, securing the "SO" Panel to the header using a 5/32" Allen wrench.
5. Loosen the fastener. Close the "SO” panel and align the "SO" magnet/latch sub-assembly. Tighten the fastener using a 1½" socket/wrench. For roller catch tension adjustment, refer to Page 13.

Diagrams illustrate the steps for securing the sidelight, including fastening the top pivot and aligning the magnet/latch assembly.

6 Hanging the “SX” panel

1. Lift the "SX" panel and place rollers onto the roller track in the header.
2. Find the highest spot along the track. Place a small screwdriver below the "SX” pivot, loosen the set screw, and re-tighten when the "SX” bottom guide pin reaches the screwdriver (1/8” Allen wrench required). Note: The pin should not touch the bottom of the track during slide operation.
3. Align the track with the jamb. Fasten and anchor the bottom track to the floor.

Diagrams show the process of hanging the "SX" panel, including adjusting the bottom guide pin using a set screw.

7 Vertical Alignment for SX panel

Use the eccentric carrier wheel (CW) and the anti-riser wheel (AW) to 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.

Diagrams illustrate the vertical alignment process using the carrier and anti-riser wheels, with specific wrench sizes indicated (15/16" Wrench, 5/16" Allen).

8 "SX” Panel Centerline Adjustment & "SO” Bottom Latch Installation

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 the upper belt bracket to the carrier (7/16" socket or wrench required).

A diagram shows the panel adjustment and fastening of the belt brackets.

9 Glazing

1. Remove the glass stops from the exterior side (4 per opening).
2. Center the glass in the opening.
3. Properly block and/or cushion glass edges.
4. Press the glass stops into place, starting with the horizontal stops, then follow with the vertical stops.

Diagrams illustrate the glazing process, showing the removal of glass stops, centering the glass, and re-installing the stops.

10 Adjustment of the Breakout-Unit

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

Recheck the latched position alignment and readjust as necessary. Note: It may be necessary to temporarily move the deadstop bracket out of the way to access adjustment screw "d". 1/8" Allen wrench required.

Diagrams show the adjustment of the breakout unit, indicating the set screws and the adjustment screw.

11 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.

Diagrams show the adjustment of the roller catch, with arrows indicating clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) adjustments to increase or decrease tension.

12 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. (1/2" socket or wrench required.)

A diagram illustrates the adjustment of end stops, showing the door opening and the end stop placement.

13 "SX” and "SO” Panel Breakout Adjustment

1. Open "SX" & "SO" panels to 90°.
2. Move arm stop blocks to engage arm. (1/8" Allen wrench required.)
3. Secure stop blocks.

Diagrams show the panels opened to 90° and the arm stop blocks being moved to engage the arm.

14 "SO” Interlock Clip Adjustment

1. Loosen "SO" interlock clip fasteners.
2. Slide interlock clip on "SO” panel, or “SX” panel, as necessary. Correct adjustment prevents the “SO” panel from breaking out when the "SX" panels are closed, but allows the "SX" panels to breakout when closed.
3. Secure all fasteners when doors are properly adjusted. (Phillips screwdriver required.)

Diagrams illustrate the adjustment of the "SO" interlock clip, showing the fasteners and the sliding mechanism.
