Shall be Series 5000 pneumatic, power opened and spring closed. The operator shall be concealed in a 6" x 6", extruded aluminum case with removable cover plate for ease of access. The master control switch shall incorporate an adjustable time delay from 1 to 30 seconds. Braking or checking shall be an integral function of the operator, utilization of controlled exhaust air provides shock-proof deceleration of the moving panel(s). A hold open feature shall be provided. The entire operator shall utilize a 24 VAC low voltage current. The power cylinder includes a piston rod moving in a linear motion that is attached to the patented continuous loop, chain drive pivot assembly. The pivot assembly utilizes two high-quality Fafnir self-aligning bearings that serve as the door pivot assembly. The roller chain shall be #40. This results in linear motion of the air piston assembly being converted to rotary motion in the pivot assembly. It shall be UL listed. The springs for closing power must be accessible for replacement and should not require the exchange of any main assembly or gear box. The addition or deletion of a spring shall allow the closing force to be varied. The operator shall be manually operated and be self closing in a power outage. The operator shall include a switch circuit that will cause the operator to be activated when manually pushed.
