This document provides an installation manual for the ABLOY® DB001 and DB002 Swing door operators.
Function Description
The ABLOY® DB001 and DB002 are electro-hydraulically operated swing door operators. They are designed to open and close doors smoothly, with an AC-motor providing power via a hydraulic unit and an arm system. The closing power is generated by a coil spring, and the movement of the door is controlled by limit switches and valve screws.
Opening: When an opening impulse is received by the control unit, the motor starts and the hydraulic unit rotates the drive shaft and arm system, moving the door towards its open position. Before reaching the fully open position, the speed is reduced to a low speed. The door stops, and the motor rotation ceases when the selected door opening angle is reached. The open position is kept by a hydraulic valve.
Closing: The spring closing starts when the hold open time has run out. Before reaching the fully closed position, the speed is reduced to a low speed, which is kept until the door is completely closed. The door is kept closed by spring power.
Functions of program switch:
- AUTO: The operator opens the door for the duration of the hold open time.
- MAN: Manual use.
- OPEN: The door is held permanently open.
The DB001 is a swing door operator for pushing applications, while the DB002 is for pulling applications. Both models can be configured with standard arms, 50 mm extension pieces, or 20 mm extension pieces, and include a 3-position program switch and a cover.
For double door EMSW applications, the DB020 is a swing door operator for active doors, and the DB022 is for passive doors. These include a full length cover (from hinge line to hinge line) and end plates for the cover. The 3-position program switch is not included in the delivery for these models.

Usage Features
Installation:
The installation process involves several steps:
- Preparing installation: Checking the proper function of the door (hinges, door clearance) and the lock (lock case, striker plate).
- Installing the mounting plate: The operator is installed on the transom, with the main switch located towards the hinge. The mounting plate DB103 must be level and securely fixed to a flat surface.
- Mounting the operator and the standard arm DB104 to the closing side: This involves attaching the operator with 6 pcs M6x12 screws and adjusting the hold open angle up to 120°.
- Mounting the operator and the sliding arm DB105 to the opening side: Similar to the standard arm, the operator is mounted with 6 pcs M6x12 screws.
- Connecting the operator to mains: Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician. A permanent connection is required, equipped with an external switch providing all pole disconnection. Mains must be disconnected during installation.
- Commissioning: Adjustments for opening speed, closing speed, opening angle, closing force, and opening torque are crucial for proper operation.
- Testing: Ensure the door operates as expected after all adjustments.
- Connecting impulse devices: Connect any external impulse devices (e.g., microwave motion sensors, elbow switches, rotary switches) as needed.
Adjustments:
- Opening speed: Adapt the high speed opening HSO to the existing traffic situation. Turning clockwise decreases the speed. The low speed opening LSO is adjusted only if the door is extremely heavy. Turning clockwise decreases the speed.
- Closing speed: The low speed closing LSC is adjusted as the traffic situation allows. Turning clockwise decreases the speed. If a higher closing speed is required, open the high speed closing valve HSC (closed from factory). An additional "lock-kick" can be obtained by adjusting the screw on the hydraulic unit. This screw is normally closed. Adjust by opening the screw 90° and check the function.
- Opening angle: Fine-adjust the opening angle by means of the limit switch. The limit switch is slid into a groove in the hydraulic unit and tightened with a lock screw. By moving the limit switch sideways, the opening angle is changed.
- Closing force: To comply with authority requirements or to overcome over/under pressure, the closing torque can be adjusted. The closing torque (spring force) is adjusted by means of an Allen screw placed at the end of the spring tube. The end plate has to be dismantled.
- Opening torque: If the closing torque (spring force) has been changed, or if the door does not open to its full extent, the opening torque (pump pressure) must be adjusted. The factory set torque for DB104 is 70 Nm and for DB105 is 40 Nm at a door opening angle of 0°. Measure the opening torque by using a spring balance and adjust if necessary. The torque is adjusted by means of an Allen screw placed on the pump. Turning clockwise increases the opening torque/pump pressure. One turn equals a torque change of approx. 30 Nm.
A safe door: The safety of the door operator is controlled by basic adjustments; operator force, speeds, and hold open times. The operator force is an important adjustment. A high value affects the safety feature and also its sensitivity. High speeds increase the energy transferred in the door causing it not to stop correctly. With hold open times, the distance from impulse device to door is preset.
- Adjust low opening and closing speeds.
- Adjust the operator's opening torque and closing force to a low setting.
- Adjust the hold open times.
By following these basic procedures, the operator is safe in operation. High speeds and safety are only possible by fitting of Safety sensors. A safe door environment needs ALWAYS a safety sensor. It is recommended to use safety sensor when possible, not only with high speeds.
Changing the direction of rotation: The direction of rotation can be changed using tool DB110. This involves disassembling and reassembling parts of the drive shaft and bearing sleeves.
Control Unit: The control unit includes a limit switch, magnetic valve, home switch, motor, and capacitor. The limit switch indicates a fully open door and can be adjusted for opening angles up to 120°. The magnetic valve closes and the door is kept open for adjusted hold open time. The home limit switch detects when no home switch is mounted and the limit switch is deactivated in open position, a timer starts and after 6 sec the status will change from closing to closed door.
Potentiometers:
- Hold open time for outer impulse (Outer HOT): Adjustable 0 - 30 seconds.
- Opening delay: Adjustable 0 - 3 seconds. When operator receives opening impulse, lockcase is opened first and door is opened after adjusted delay time.
- Hold open time Key impulse (MVI / Key HOT): Adjustable 0 - 30 seconds.
DIP -switches FS:
- FS1 Kill input: ON means kill input not in use. OFF means when kill is activated, the door will close immediately if not already closed. Hold open and low pass filter timers are reset.
- FS2 and FS3 Operation mode without program switch: Various combinations of ON/OFF for FS2 and FS3 determine the operation mode (e.g., OFF/OFF for TB2:11 and 13 OFF, AUTO; ON/OFF for TB2:11 and 13 AUTO, OFF; OFF/ON for TB2:11 and 13 OFF, OPEN DOOR; ON/ON for TB2:11 and 13 OPEN DOOR, OFF).
- FS4 Lock type: ON for lockcase locked without power. OFF for lockcase locked with power.
- FS5 Activation time for lockcase: ON for lock activation time until door closing. OFF for lock activation time 1,5 s + (opening delay).
- FS6 Slave delay: ON for slave unit opening delay of 0,5 sec. OFF for slave unit standard opening delay of 0,2 sec.
- FS7 Master/Slave: ON for two pieces normal DB operators, Slave operator. OFF for two pieces normal DB operators, Master operator.
- FS8 Push & Go: ON for a push on the door will, from closed position, start an automatic opening cycle if the programme selection is AUTO and remain open during the hold open time "Outer HOT" (0-30 s). A home switch (DB102) on the operator is needed to achieve Push to Go. OFF for Push & Go not in use.

Maintenance Features
Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common faults:
- The door does not open: Possible reasons include program selector set to OFF, motor power missing, main power missing, or impulse device broken. Solutions involve checking settings, cables, fuses, and impulse devices.
- The motor starts: Possible reason is arm system has come loose. Solution is to readjust pre-tension and tighten arm system.
- The door does not open to required angle: Possible reason is limit switch opening has come loose. Solution is to check limit switch.
- The door does not close: Possible reason is constant impulse is created. Solution is to check the impulse device.
- The door does not open fast enough: Possible reason is pump pressure is too low. Solution is to adjust pump pressure.
- The door opens with too much delay: Possible reason is lock-kick valve is opened too much. Solution is to adjust valve screw.
- No smooth braking during operation: Possible reasons include pump pressure too high or low speed distance too short. Solutions involve adjusting pump pressure, increasing opening angle, or increasing pre-tension of arm system.
- High sound level: Possible reason is motor in contact with mounting plate. Solution is to mount two extra screws at the motor side to reduce the mounting plate to the wall.
- The door does not stay open or cannot open: Possible reason is magnetic valve out of operation. Solution involves checking by pressing the pin on top of the magnetic valve. If the door stops, then check the resistance (should be 150 ohm) for the wire between the magnetic valve and the control unit.
