Detex AO19-2 PUSH 75.5 AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex AO19-2 operate a pair of doors, or do I need one unit per leaf?
The AO19-2 is built for double door openings, and you pick how the two leaves behave when you order. Simultaneous runs both leaves together off one activation. Independent lets each door operate on its own. Choose Independent when only one leaf normally needs to swing, Simultaneous when the opening is meant to clear wide for carts, beds, or equipment.
2) How do I figure out which handing to order on a Detex AO19-2 automatic operator?
Handing here is really about which side of the door the header operator sits on relative to the swing. Order Push when the operator pushes the door away from it, Pull when it pulls the door toward it. There is also a Push Deep version for openings with an 11 inch reveal, where the door is set deep in the frame and the standard push arm geometry will not reach. Measure the reveal before you commit, because push and pull units use different arm assemblies and different installation instruction sets.
3) What header lengths does the Detex AO19-2 come in and how do I pick one?
Three overall widths are offered: 75.5 inches, 92 inches, and 100 inches. That figure covers the full double door opening, not a single leaf, so measure frame to frame across both doors plus the meeting stiles and pick the size that spans it. Getting this wrong is the most common reordering mistake on a pair, since the header has to carry both operators.
4) I have low headroom above the door. Is there a Detex AO19-2 option for that?
Yes, specify the Flat Arm option. Substituting the flat arm frees up 1-3/4 inches of additional headroom at the top of the door. If your ceiling, transom, or soffit is tight over the opening, that is the one to order. The alternative Device Option is None, which is the standard arm.
5) Does the Detex AO19-2 meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
It does. The AO19-2 is an ADA compliant low energy operator built to ANSI/BHMA A156.19, the standard covering Power Assist and Low Energy Power Operated Doors. That is the standard an inspector looks for on an accessible entrance in a healthcare, school, or government building.
6) What power does a Detex AO19-2 need, and does it require a dedicated electrical run?
The unit runs on standard 115VAC and plugs in at the header, which keeps the electrical work simple compared with operators needing a separate remote transformer. You still need a 115VAC circuit brought to the header location and the work done to code, so coordinate the rough-in with your electrician before the header goes up.
7) Can the Detex AO19-2 be used with a maglock or electric strike without the doors binding?
Yes. There is a built-in electric lock relay with an adjustable delay, so the lock releases before the operator starts to swing the leaf. That delay is what keeps the latch from dragging against an electric strike or a maglock still holding. It works with electric strikes, maglocks, and other electric locking hardware, and you set the timing during commissioning.
8) What happens if someone or something is in the doorway while a Detex AO19-2 door is closing?
The operator stalls the door during the closing cycle and re-activates to open when it senses an obstruction before the door reaches latch position. That reverse-on-obstruction behavior is configurable at setup along with Push and Go and power close.
9) Can you open a Detex AO19-2 door manually if the power goes out or the actuator fails?
Yes. Manual override is part of the design, and the Push and Go feature means a manual push on the door triggers the powered open cycle during normal operation. There is also a low voltage 3-way ON/OFF/HOLD service switch so a technician can take the operator out of automatic mode or hold it open for service without cutting building power.
10) What finishes does the Detex AO19-2 header come in for matching existing storefront?
Two: AL aluminum and BZ dark bronze. Those are the two standard commercial storefront tones, so on a building where the existing frames are anodized clear or dark bronze the header will read as part of the same system.
11) Is the Detex AO19-2 rated for a busy entrance, or is it more of a light duty operator?
It is classified heavy-duty for commercial use, with a self-contained mechanism in an extruded case intended for medium to high traffic and high-abuse environments. Typical placements are main building entrances, hospital access points, school accessibility openings, retail entries, and multi-tenant common areas.
12) Where do I get wiring diagrams and replacement parts for a Detex AO19-2 motor or gearbox?
Detex publishes separate documentation by configuration: installation instructions for push and for pull applications, a motor and gearbox repair manual for each, and parts lists for both AO19-2 push and AO19-2 pull units. Pull the set that matches the handing you installed, since push and pull share very little in the arm and gearbox assemblies.
