8.1 Installation Preparation
Installation steps listed in Chapter 8 through 11 are a recommendation. Structural, local conditions, available tools, or other factors or circumstances may require modification to these steps.
ED50/ED100/ED250 narrow header system should be installed by trained and knowledgeable installers experienced in installation and commissioning of swing door operators.
The installer should be familiar with all applicable local and national building code requirements, and with requirements of current ANSI/BHMA standards:
- A156.10, Power Operated Pedestrian Doors.
- A156.19, Power Assist and Low Energy Power Operated Doors.
8.1.1 Door Frame and Door
Insure area around door frame, adjacent walls and door is readily accessible and free of objects and debris.
8.1.2 Activation and Knowing Act Devices
- Verify Activation and knowing act devices planned for or in place for the door.
Device wiring should be planned for prior to narrow header installation.
8.1.3 Narrow Header Installation Preparation
Use applicable ED50/ED100/ED250 installation template (Chapter 7). Holes for narrow header fasteners must be located and drilled into door frame, wall or substructure prior to mounting narrow header.
8.1.5 ED50/ED100/ED250 115 Vac Electrical Installation
Work on electrical equipment and 115 Vac wiring installation must be performed only by qualified personnel!
115 Vac wiring to ED50/ED100/ED250 operator must conform to local and national electrical codes.
8.2 Remove Mounting Plate from ED50/ED100/ED250 Operator
8.2.1 Remove 115 Vac Plug from Receptacle
- Remove 115 Vac plug (5) from its receptacle (6).
8.2.2 Remove Mounting Plate from Operator
- Loosen all eight captive M6 socket head cap screws (SHCS) using a 5 mm hex T-handle.
Insure all eight fasteners are free of the mounting plate.
- Remove operator from mounting plate.
Guide pin resistance may require screwdriver to start operator removal from end of mounting plate (Fig. 8.2.4).

- 9: Operator axle centerline
8.3.2 Drill Holes in Header
- Drill four 1/4" holes in header bottom slide channel, two on header axle side and two on header door strike side.
- Drill two holes in header on door strike side for 115 Vac and low voltage wiring.
If 115 Vac wiring is located on door swing side, drill hole for wiring on header axle side.
8.3.3 Install Mode Switch Panel
- Install Mode switch panel in header (Para. 8.4).
8.3.4 Mount Header to Door Frame
- Using applicable installation template for reference, locate header on door frame.
- Drill holes into door frame using header bottom slide channel 1/4" hole locations.
- Fasten header to wall.
- Use shims as required to make header square to door frame.
Header must be square to door frame!
- Drill 1/4" holes in header top V-groove on centerline of marked stud locations and secure header to wall with selected screw.
After drilling holes, clean all metal debris from header!
8.4 Install Mode Switch Panel in Header
- 1: Mode switch panel
- 2: 1/8-32 x 1/4 FHMS
- 3: Hole for operator axle
8.4.1 Fasten Mode Switch Panel to Header Door Strike Side
- Fasten Mode switch panel to header using two 1/8-32 x 1/4 FHMS supplied with Mode switch panel assembly.
Lack of adequate space between side of header and door frame may require Mode switch panel to be installed at another location on header or door frame.
- Mode switch panel cable length is 36".
- Refer to Para. 2.8.
