LCN’s electromechanical products are designed

primarily for automatic opening applications that

occasionally require manual opening. A control box

provides all electrical functions. These self-contained

units are suitable for use on single leaf doors or pair

of doors. These products combine all the control and

power elements into a single operator package, only

some actuators are required to complete the system.

Designed primarily for automatic opening applications

that occasionally require manual opening, the

electrically powered low-energy operator provides easy

access for people with disabilities, the elderly or the frail.

Opening time from full close to backcheck is no faster

than 3 seconds

Operators mounted according to the LCN installation

instructions require no periodic maintenance or

adjustments, although monthly, quarterly and annual

visual inspection are recommended

On/Off switch included as standard

Non-handed for either right or left swinging door

686mm cover is standard. Full length covers available

up to 1245mm for single doors

All potentiometers clearly labelled with their functions

LED lights indicate power to control box and

motor gearbox

Push-‘n-go permits non-switch activation

Microprocessor control box ensures reliability and

maintains customer settings

Tested internally to over 3,000,000 cycles

Power boost allows for increased closing force

near latch

Each unit is pre-programmed to factory default settings.

Any subsequent field adjustments replace the original

field adjustments

On-board power supply – provides 24VDC output to

power card readers, manual actuators and

other peripherals

Electronic circuit protection – fused input circuit

protection and fused output protection for 24

VDC peripherals

Visual function indicators – 2 LEDs for installation and

troubleshooting feedback. The motor LED will illuminate

when the motor drive circuit energizes

The LCN Benchmark Automatic Operators are electromechanical devices designed primarily for automatic door opening applications that may also require occasional manual opening. These self-contained units integrate all electrical functions within a control box, making them suitable for both single and double leaf doors. The system combines all control and power elements into a single operator package, requiring only a few actuators to complete the setup. These low-energy operators are electrically powered and provide easy access, particularly benefiting individuals with disabilities, the elderly, or the frail.

Function Description:

The LCN operators facilitate automatic door opening and closing. The system is designed to open a door from full close to backcheck in no more than 3 seconds. It supports both pull-side and push-side mounting configurations. The 9130 Pull operator is designed for single doors, surface-mounted with offset pivot/butt hinges, and is shipped with a motor gearbox, control box, mounting plate, standard arm, metal cover, standard track, and necessary screws. The 9140 Push operator is also for single doors, surface-mounted with offset pivot/butt hinges, and includes the same components as the 9130 series. Both models allow for a maximum power opening of 90 degrees and a manual opening of 90 degrees. The opening and closing times are variable and can be adjusted via the electronic control module within the operator assembly. The maximum hold open time is adjustable, up to approximately 30 seconds for the 9140 push operator. A "Push-'n-go" feature permits non-switch activation, allowing the door to open with a gentle push.
