BEST 7266005 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between the PUSH side and PULL side arm on the BEST ED50LE operator?
The arm choice follows which face of the door the operator sits on. The ED50LE is ordered with either a PUSH Side Mount arm or a PULL Side Mount arm, and that selection is what lets the same operator handle an inswing or an outswing opening. Pick the arm to match the side of the door you are mounting the header unit on, because the two are not interchangeable after the fact.
2) Can I automate an existing manual swing door with the BEST ED50LE, or does the door need special prep?
It is built as a retrofit. The ED50LE is a surface mounted low energy operator that automates new or existing manual swing doors without extensive door preparation, so you are mounting to the header and door face rather than cutting the door. You still need to bring power to the unit and route wiring per the manufacturer diagrams.
3) Is the BEST ED50LE a full power automatic operator or a low energy unit?
Low energy. The ED50LE uses power assist with minimal push forces as low as ANSI size 1, and it still behaves like a manual door closer when nobody hits the actuator. That is the class used with knowing act activation such as a wave plate or push button, not the full power class that requires guide rails and presence sensors.
4) What activation devices work with the BEST ED50LE low energy operator?
It is made to run off knowing act devices, and the RCI 946T, 950T Series, 910TC Series and 912 Series wave plates are named as compatible. Any of those give you hands free entry without a physical press, which is what facilities like healthcare and schools usually want for accessibility.
5) Is the BEST ED50LE rated for a high traffic entrance in an office or hospital?
It is a Grade 1 heavy duty commercial operator, which is the top ANSI grade tier and the one specified for demanding high traffic openings. Named applications include healthcare access control, schools, office buildings, retail entries, government buildings and multi tenant residential common areas.
6) Does the BEST ED50LE have a delayed action or hold open delay adjustment?
No delay function on the ED50LE. If your spec calls for an extended hold open or delayed closing on the sweep, this is not the unit that provides it.
7) Does the BEST ED50LE operator lock the door, or do I still need a separate lock?
The operator is described as electrically locked in function, meaning it works alongside an electrified locking device that is released when the actuator is triggered. You still specify the lock or strike itself, plus the power supply and wiring to tie the release into the operator sequence.
8) What finishes does the BEST ED50LE operator come in?
Two: 628 satin aluminum and 613 satin bronze oil rubbed. Both are offered with either arm mounting, so you can match a dark bronze storefront or the standard clear anodized aluminum without changing the arm choice.
9) What do I need to check on site before installing a BEST ED50LE operator?
Confirm the available power supply and current capacity match the unit's electrical requirements first, then kill power before mounting. Leave clearance at the header for wiring access, ventilation and future service. After wiring, test normal swing operation, the power assist, and the handoff with whatever activation device you tied in, then record the settings.
