FAQ
Q1. Is this operator suitable for both “push” and “pull” ed100 / ED250 installations?
A. Yes. Identical to dorma ed100 / Dorma ED250, the operator architecture supports standard scissor arms (push side) and slide channels (pull side). Choose the arm/channel kit according to hinge/approach, reveals, and clearances on site.
Q2. What’s the difference between ED100 and ED250 capacities?
A. Published ranges vary by region and configuration. Typical EU specs cite ED100 up to 100 kg/1100 mm and ED250 up to 250 kg/1600 mm, while North American heavy-duty listings rate ED250 up to ~800 lb. Confirm against arm type, lintel depth, and door construction.
Q3. Does the platform include wind compensation for exterior doors?
A. Yes—Wind-Load Control regulates actuation speed to counter wind/stack pressure in Automatic mode, improving consistency at entrances exposed to weather or HVAC differentials.
Q4. Is this appropriate for fire/smoke check doors or escape routes?
A. Regional variants of the ED100/ED250 are designed for use on fire and smoke check doors and for emergency escape routes when installed with the correct accessories and commissioned per local code.
Q5. What controller features matter to facility teams?
A. The modular controller provides on-board parameterization (speeds, hold-open 0–180 s), power-assist/closer modes, and optional I/O like door-status contacts, safety edges, and airlock/synchronous functions, enabling scalable upgrades without full replacements.
Q6. Why specify a Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 drive?
A. The GR 63×55 is a compact brushed DC motor family with high output for its size (~95 W nominal), stable torque/speed behavior, and proven reliability in door operators—translating to quiet starts, controlled deceleration, and long service intervals.
Q7. What commissioning steps ensure quiet, consistent operation?
A. After mechanical installation, run the self-learning/teach routine, calibrate speeds (e.g., 10–70 cm/s opening; 10–50 cm/s closing), set hold-open time, validate sensor fields, and verify force limits for the chosen low-energy/full-power profile.
Q8. Can I retrofit this onto existing door leaves and reuse accessories?
A. In most professional retrofits, yes. The standardized header formats, modular controller, and common sensor interfaces allow reuse of leaves, hinges, and many peripherals—subject to a site survey and code compliance check.
Product Description
Engineered for high-traffic entrances that demand uptime and quiet performance, the ED100/ED250 swing door operator couples a slim, modular header with the reliable Dunkermotoren GR 63×55 drive to deliver smooth, predictable motion through one million cycles. If your specification calls for a robust ED100 or ed250 solution in retail, healthcare, transit, or corporate facilities, this platform fits cleanly into standard push or pull configurations and scales from low-energy to full-power modes without changing the basic mechanics.
Power that feels effortless. The GR 63×55 motor’s high power density and smooth torque profile support quiet acceleration and controlled deceleration—reducing nuisance reversals and improving perceived quality at the door. Nominal output near 95 W with typical speeds around 3300–3350 rpm gives technicians the headroom needed for heavier door leaves and pressure-differential zones while maintaining compact packaging.
Built for exterior entrances and pressure zones. Unlike basic swing operators, Wind-Load Control keeps actuation speed constant even when wind or stack effect fights the door, ensuring accessible opening forces and consistent timing in Automatic mode. This stabilizes performance on storefronts, hospital vestibules, and lobby doors where exterior conditions fluctuate hour to hour.
Slim header, fast installs, easier service. Common 100/150 mm header heights and an installation depth around 180 mm streamline mounting on new or existing frames. The controller’s built-in interface lets field techs set opening (≈10–70 cm/s), closing (≈10–50 cm/s), and hold-open (0–180 s) without external tools; modular options (door status, safety edges, airlock, synchronous) can be added later without re-engineering the opening.
Capacity where you need it. Published envelopes differ by region and configuration: ED100 commonly covers up to 100 kg / 1100 mm, while ED250 addresses up to 250 kg / 1600 mm in EU brochures and up to ~800 lb in North American heavy-duty listings. Site conditions—lintel depth, arm type, and leaf construction—can influence the final rating, so a quick site survey confirms the correct selection.
Safety and compliance by design. When commissioned with compliant sensors and edges, ED100/ED250 installations meet contemporary automatic door safety frameworks such as EN 16005/DIN 18650, and regional variants support fire/smoke-check and escape route door applications. Optional battery backup maintains egress strategy during power loss.
