American Quality Products - Power Operators

Opens doors slowly to 90 degree when actuated. Opening force and speed of opening are field adjustable

What is an auto-equalizer?
The auto-Equalizer is pneumatically powered automatic door operator that opens doors slowly to provide easy access for the handicapped, elderly, and frail. Guardrails and safety mats are not required because of the operator's unique, low kinetic energy design.

Where to use an auto-equalizer?
The Auto-Equalizer system is specifically designed for dedicated handicapped entries.

Note: Because of its slow opening characteristics, the Auto-Equalizer is not suitable for high speed, high volume traffic applications.

How does it work?
When actuated, the control box sends regulated, compressed air to the operator's tandem air cylinders. The operator then swings the door slowly open to a 90 degree position and holds it for up to 30 seconds. The system times, located in the control box, then exhausts the air pressure, and the operator uses full spring pressure and hydraulic regulation to close the door quietly.

Note: When the pneumatic operator is not in use the unit functions as regular door closer.

Self contained control box with compressor mounted inside. Can be located within 50 ft. of the operator. Delay time up to 30 seconds, and output air pressure, from 5 to 80 PSI, can be easily adjusted to precisely taylor the system to individual door requirements. Controller can be located anywhere the temperature does not exceed 120º F, or fall below 35º. Input voltage 120V AC, 5 AMP. Output voltage 12VDC. Heavy Duty, surface mounted with hinged door for easy access.
