The Record HA8-SP Low Energy and FA8-SP Full Energy Swing Operator is a comprehensive solution for various swinging door installations, including push, pull, surface, or concealed applications. The operator's header houses the driving system (motor), torque production (gearbox), and a control system that integrates these components. The HA8-SP operator is designed for all applications and prioritizes safety, offering compatibility with a full range of safety units like presence and motion sensors. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Function Description:
The HA8-SP/FA8-SP operator automates the opening and closing of pedestrian doors. It features a digital control board for programming and managing various operational parameters. The operator can be configured for different door handings (left push, right push, left pull, right pull, left center-spindle, right center-spindle, left center-hung, and right center-hung) to suit diverse installation requirements.

Usage Features:
The operator offers several modes and programmable functions:
- Basic Operation: When activated, the door opens, brakes before the fully open position, and then slowly reaches the full doorstop. After a pre-set open period, it closes at a set speed, braking to low speed before the fully closed/latch position. If an activation signal is received while closing, the door stops and reverses to open.
- Operation Switch (3-position):
- Automatic Mode (I): Activates the operator. The door opens to about 80 degrees at full speed, then slows for the final 10 degrees. After the pre-set open time, it closes at a set speed, slowing for the final 10 degrees to the full latch position.
- Hold Open Mode (II): Holds the door open automatically for an extended time. No activation or safety sensor signals are active, and the door remains open via a pulsed signal to the motor without overheating. To close, switch to Automatic or OFF.
- OFF (Manual) Mode (O): Deactivates all opening signals, allowing manual opening and closing. Power remains ON, but all signals are ignored. The door can be opened with minimum force.
- Programming Functions: The digital board allows adjustment of:
- Opening Speed (0-F): Slowest to fastest.
- Back Check Speed (0-5): Slowest to fastest.
- Latch Speed (0-5): Slowest to fastest.
- Hold Speed (0-9): Slowest to fastest.
- Activation Time (2-30 sec): Duration the door remains open after activation.
- Delay on Operate (2-16 sec): Time delay before the door operates after an ACT'N2 trigger.
- Push and Go Sensitivity (Instant to 5/8 sec): Duration a push-and-go trigger must be sensed.
- Push and Go Activation Time (2-30 sec): Duration the door remains open after a Push and Go trigger.
- Safety 1 Inhibit (0-2 sec): Time Safety1 input is ignored when the door goes into Latch.
- Strike Delay (0-2 sec): Time between Strike ON and door opening (HA board ONLY).
- Safety Monitoring: The 09827 control board communicates with safety sensors before any dangerous door movement. A failed communication prevents the door from opening or closing, indicated by the Overload LED flashing.
- ADA Adjustments: Complies with ANSI A156.19 standards for minimum opening and closing times based on door weight and width. The door must not close through the final 10 degrees in less than 1.5 seconds.
Maintenance Features:
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting section for common issues such as programming functions not working, doors not opening, delayed opening, or slow operation.
- Overload Detection: The system detects persistent current for longer than 2 seconds, causing the door to close. The overload setting can be adjusted via a potentiometer.
- Easy Installation and Service: The header cover is removable for installation and service access.
- Component Replacement: A comprehensive list of replacement parts is provided, including operators, header caps, control boards, fuses, various arm types, magnet sets, reed switches, and harness cables.
Safety Instructions:
- Always follow all installation instructions carefully to prevent personal injury or property damage.
- Ensure the door is properly operating and balanced before installation.
- Remove or make inoperative all locks and activation units before installation.
- Install the door operator at least 2.4 m (8ft) above the floor, or protect exposed moving parts with covers if installed lower.
- The control unit must be located within sight of the door, at a minimum height of 1.5 m (5ft), and away from moving parts.
- Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station.
- Use this system only with pedestrian doors.
- Do not connect to power supply until instructed. High voltage wiring must be done by a qualified professional and routed separately from low voltage wires.
- Do not climb or put weight on the door or header parts.
- Keep children away from the operator and controls.
- Keep all power off during maintenance.
- Personnel should stay clear of a moving door.
- Test safety features monthly and after any adjustments.
- Ensure doors are properly operating and balanced.
- Only Record-trained technicians should perform installation, adjustment, repairs, and service.
- The final installer is responsible for certifying compliance with local building codes and applicable laws.
- The certification label of the HA8 operator must not be tampered with or removed.
- Ensure all holes have smooth edges and use electrical bushings.
- Header must be installed 1.5 inches from the hinge side for all Push/Pull installations.
- Ensure shoe bolts at arm joints are tightened after installation.
- Make sure Pull track is installed level with the header to ensure the roller stays inside the track.
- The ground wire for incoming 115±5VAC power and the system ground wire cannot share the same grounding stud.
- Secure any extra wiring for controls or accessories away from moving parts.
- If the motor is not plugged into the circuit board, there is no motor resistance against the spring when manually opening the door, and the door/arm will close quickly, posing a risk to pedestrians.
