Cal-Royal CAL-ACT-900 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal ACT-36 actuator work with any automatic door operator, or only Cal-Royal?
The ACT-36 vertical actuator bar is built as an accessory for Cal-Royal's 8600 Series automatic door operator line. Cal-Royal states the compatibility for that system only, so if the opening runs a different operator brand, spec the actuator that manufacturer lists for it. On an 8600 Series job it drops straight in.
2) Do I need to run wire to the ACT-36, or is there a wireless version?
Both. The ACT-36 is ordered either hardwired or wireless, and that is the one choice you make on the order. Hardwired runs a direct connection back to the 8600 Series operator, which is what most new construction and any job with an open wall or bollard conduit will use. The wireless option is the one to pick on a retrofit where you cannot get conduit from the actuator location back to the header without cutting finished wall or paving. Decide before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable in the field.
3) Is the ACT-36 the whole actuator, or do I still need a control board and power?
The ACT-36 is the actuator bar itself, an accessory to the 8600 Series automatic door operator. The operator supplies the control and power; the bar is the input device that tells it to run. Ordering the bar alone does not automate a manual door, you need the 8600 Series operator on the header first.
4) How much wall space does a 36 inch Cal-Royal actuator bar need?
The bar measures 6 x 36 x 1 inches, so you need a clear vertical run of 36 inches on a 6 inch wide face, with 1 inch of projection off the wall or bollard. That 1 inch depth is the number that matters in a corridor, since the bar stands proud of the finished wall surface and sits in the path of traffic.
5) Can a vertical actuator bar be mounted on a bollard instead of the wall?
Yes. The ACT-36 is made for wall or bollard mounting, which is what makes it usable at an entrance where there is no adjacent wall inside the approach, a vestibule with glass on both sides being the common case. On a bollard it gives you a tall activation target out in the traffic path rather than a small plate the user has to find.
6) Can this actuator bar go on an exterior entrance, or is it interior only?
Exterior is fine. The housing is stainless steel and weather resistant, which is what lets it sit on the outside face of an entrance or on an exterior bollard where a plastic-faced plate would not last. It is a commercial-rated part, not a residential one.
7) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal ACT-36 actuator bar and a DynaLock exit sensor bar?
Different jobs entirely, even though both are 36 inch bars on a door opening. The ACT-36 is an activation device: someone touches it and the 8600 Series operator swings the door. The DynaLock 6451-36 is an exit sensor bar for a 36 inch door, mounted on the door itself to signal egress. If you are trying to get a powered door to open on demand for accessibility, the ACT-36 is the part; a sensor bar will not drive an operator.
8) I want to convert an existing hardwired jamb actuator to wireless without pulling new wire. What are my options?
On a Cal-Royal 8600 Series opening, order the ACT-36 in its wireless configuration rather than the hardwired one. If the actuator you are converting is an LCN jamb mount touchless unit, the LCN 8310-3803 3V wireless conversion kit is the part made for that, and it is a kit for the existing actuator rather than a replacement bar. Match the kit to the operator brand already on the header.
9) How does a membrane switch actuator hold up compared to a mechanical push plate in a high traffic entrance?
The ACT-36 activates through membrane switches rather than a mechanical plunger, so there is no moving switch element to wear out or stick, and the activation is quiet. That matters in a healthcare corridor or a school entrance where a clacking plate gets old fast and where the actuator is hit hundreds of times a day. The tradeoff is that the whole face is the switch, so it is one assembly rather than a plate you can rebuild.
10) Does the Cal-Royal ACT-36 come marked with the wheelchair symbol and push-to-open text?
Yes, the 36 inch bar ships with logo and text markings on the face, so the actuator reads as an actuator to a user walking up to it. Nothing to order separately or field-apply for identification.
