Which Operator is Required?

1-Leaf Door System

The door leaf is easy to automate using an ED 100 or ED 250 operator, depending on door leaf size and door leaf weight. The range of functions is identical in both ED operator units.

  • ED 100: EN 3-4
  • ED 250: EN 4-7*

2-Leaf Door System

2-leaf door systems require one ED operator for each door leaf. The closing sequence of active and inactive leaf is coordinated by the control unit of the ED operators or the ESR door coordinator.

Note on Fire & Smoke Doors: According to DIN EN 1158, an ESR door coordinator and a MK 396 or MK 397 carry bar must be used.

Configuration A: Fully Automated Active and Inactive Leaf

The active and inactive leaf are automated using an ED 100 or ED 250 operator, depending on door leaf size and door leaf weight. The range of functions is identical in both ED operator units.

  • ED 100 (Active & Inactive): EN 3-4
  • ED 250 (Active & Inactive): EN 4-7*

Configuration B: Fully Automated Active Leaf, Semi-Automated Inactive Leaf

The active leaf can be fully automated using an ED 100 or ED 250 operator. The inactive leaf can be semi-automated using an ED 250 PA.

Inactive Leaf Functions (ED 250 PA):

  • Manual opening
  • Servo-controlled opening (Power Assist function)
  • Automatic closing
  • Permanently open function

Power Sizes:

  • ED 100 (Active): EN 3-4
  • ED 250 (Active): EN 4-7*
  • ED 250 PA (Inactive): EN 4

Wind Load Control & Performance

Wind Load Control (Up to 150 N)

ED 100 and ED 250 operators are especially suitable for applications at exterior doors that are subject to varying wind loads and for interior doors separating rooms where different pressure prevails.

While the system is in AUTOMATIC mode, the wind load control monitors the driving speed and adjusts the speed correspondingly if it exceeds or falls below the adjusted value.

In conjunction with the Full-Energy Upgrade Card, the operator provides a force of up to 150 N at the main closing edge – which is then used to compensate for environmental influences.

The electronic latching action is activated during the last 5° of the closing cycle in order to support the closing action.

ED 100 or ED 250? Choosing the Right Model

Fully automated door systems are available in two performance classes: ED 100 and ED 250. The operators are suitable for most swing doors, provided the ratio of door width and door weight is within the specified functional range.

Performance Data Reference:

(Based on functional range diagrams)

  • Door Leaf Widths Supported: 700mm - 1600mm range (indicative based on model)
  • Door Leaf Weights Supported: 40kg - 400kg range (indicative based on model)
  • ED 100: EN 3-4 power size
  • ED 250: EN 4-7* power size

Important Safety Note: The diagram values (referenced in original brochure) refer to an ideal door. With heavy door weights, the achievable speed must be reduced to ensure personal safety. Additional door components such as hinges, seals, locks, or other mechanical components can restrict the range of functions.

The information provided is valid up to a lintel depth of 300 mm. From 301 mm, the maximum door leaf weight for the ED 250 is limited to 160 kg, irrespective of the door width.

Opening and Closing Speeds

The ED operators are supplied set to low-energy mode. The adjustable opening and closing speed ranges correspond to the limits stipulated in standards DIN 18650 and EN 16005, ANSI 156.19 and BS 7036.

Higher speeds can be set in full-energy mode, requiring the "Full-Energy" upgrade card. In full-energy mode, the door must be equipped with safety sensors.

Speed Adjustment Ranges
Mode Model Speed Range
Low-Energy Both 1-27°/sec
Full-Energy* ED 100 Max. 50°/sec
Full-Energy* ED 250 Max. 60°/sec

Where Should the Operator be Installed?

The ED operator can be installed on both the hinge side and opposite hinge side. Depending on lintel depth and position to the door leaf, a suitable combination of components must be selected.

Installation on Hinge Side (Pull Version)

Slide Channel Type ED 100 / ED 250 / ED 250 PA Lintel Depth (ST)
Slide channel All Models +/- 30 mm
Slide channel with CPD All Models 30-60 mm
Slide channel with CPD 250 ED 100 / ED 250 60-250 mm*
Slide channel with CPD 250 ED 250 PA in preparation

* Not suitable for fire and smoke doors with lintel depths greater than 100 mm.

Installation on Opposite Hinge Side (Push Version)

Component ED 100 ED 250 ED 250 PA
Slide channel ST +/- 30 mm ST +/- 30 mm ST +/- 30 mm
ED 225 arm ST max. 225 mm ST max. 225 mm (EN 4-6)
ST max. 125 mm (EN 7)
ST max. 225 mm (EN 4-6)
ED 500 arm ST 226-300 mm ST 226-500 mm** ST 226-500 mm**

** ST max. 350 mm with the use of a 90 mm spindle extension.
