Adjustment Instructions
IMPORTANT
1. CAUTION: Disconnect all input power beginning installation to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
2. Installer must be a trained, experienced service person.
3. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical codes, ordinances and regulations.

CAM IN DOOR OPEN POSITION

Cam

Approx 1/32"

INSTALLATION
1. Mount closer/holder per instruction sheet provided.
2. Locate switch roller and cam and loosen both set screws in cam. (Figure 8)
3. Open door to desired holding position and hold open with door stop. Rotate cam until switch roller is on lower section of cam and approximately 1/32" from bottom of incline. (Figure 9) Cam should be positioned so when door closes, roller on switch will ride up incline of cam operating the switch. Tighten on set screw in cam with hex key and pull door closed.
4. Pull door open to desired hold open position. When switch roller travels down to bottom of incline, door closer will function as a standard multi-point holder. (Figure 10) Depending on door size and closer fall back, cam may need to be adjusted so that switch roller is positioned further from base of incline. When cam is positioned properly for desired door operation, tighten both set screws firmly.
