Functional Details

As a low-energy operator, the 6231 opens the door automatically when activated by a knowing-act switch or actuator, then closes it in a slow, controlled motion that meets ANSI/BHMA A156.19 timing and force requirements. This makes it well suited for barrier-free entrances where full automatic operation is not required.

• Low energy power operator for handicapped and other applications.
• Meets ANSI/BHMA A156.19 standard for power assist and low energy power operated doors.
• Opening and closing speeds controlled independently.
• Adjustable opening and closing force.

Arm Type Details

The 6231 is configured with a regular arm for push-side mounting. In this arrangement, the operator body is mounted on the push side of the door and the arm projects outward to control the door through its swing, providing dependable opening assistance and controlled closing across the full range of motion.

Included Components

The unit ships as a complete surface-mounted low-energy operator with the regular arm assembly and standard mounting hardware for push-side installation.
