LCN 9153-REGARM2-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order a left hand and right hand version of the LCN 9153?
No handing to specify. The 9153 is non-handed, so the same unit works on left or right swinging doors, which is part of why it suits a pair where the two leaves swing opposite each other. The only thing you pick is finish: 628 aluminum anodized or 710 dark bronze anodized.
2) What power does the LCN 9153 Benchmark operator need at the door?
120V. The 9153 is an electromechanical operator, so you need a 120 volt circuit run to the header for the pair, not a low voltage transformer feed. Get the electrician in the schedule early, because this is line voltage at the top jamb and the metal cover goes on over it.
3) Does the LCN 9153 meet ADA requirements for an accessible entrance?
In power mode the 9153 meets ADA requirements, and it complies with ANSI/BHMA A156.19 for low energy power operated doors and ANSI A117.1 for accessibility. That combination is what most facility specs call for on a barrier free entrance. The hold open is adjustable from 1 to 30 seconds so you can set the door open time to the traffic at that opening.
4) Can I reuse my existing closer holes when installing the LCN 9153, and what is the mounting hole pattern?
The 9153 uses a 2-3/8 x 6-3/4 inch mounting hole pattern on the top jamb. Take that to the frame before you order: if your existing prep does not land on it, you are drilling and tapping new holes in the jamb. It is a surface mount unit, so no frame cutting is involved beyond the fasteners and the wire penetration.
5) I need to add automatic operation to an existing pair of doors without replacing the frame. Is the 9153 a retrofit?
That is what it is put together for. Surface mounting on the push side of the top jamb, standard arms detailed for offset pivots or butt hinges, and a 72 inch cover that hides the two headers as one run, so the existing doors and frame stay. Confirm the hinge type is butt or offset pivot and that the jamb face will take the 2-3/8 x 6-3/4 inch hole pattern.
6) I need a low energy operator for a single door, not a pair. What should I order instead of the LCN 9153?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark is built for double doors and includes two motor gearboxes, two control boxes, two mounting brackets and two standard arms under a 72 inch cover for independent or simultaneous pair operation. For a single leaf, the Dormakaba ED900 is a push side top jamb mount low energy swing door operator for single door applications, which matches the 9153 mounting approach on one leaf. The Norton Rixson 5200 Series and the Cal Royal 8600 Series are also low energy swing door operators specified per door.
7) The LCN 9153 mounts on the push side. What low energy operator do I use when the header only allows pull side mounting?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark is a surface mount unit fixed on the push side over offset pivots or butt hinges, so it needs push side header space. When the opening only gives you the pull side, the Norton Rixson 6011 is a 6000 Series low energy electrohydraulic door operator with a slide track arm and pull side mounting, and Norton Rixson rates it heavy duty. That changes the drive from the 9153 electromechanical gearbox to an electrohydraulic operator, so the arm package and the header prep differ from the 9153 standard arm.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the LCN 9153 for a pair of doors if I am specifying Dormakaba instead of LCN?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark is a low energy operator surface mounted on the push side over offset pivots or butt hinges, and it ships as a double door package with two motor gearboxes, two control boxes, two standard arms and a 72 inch metal cover. The Dormakaba equivalent in low energy swing operators is the ED100LE, an ED100 Series low energy swing door operator, or the ED50LE from the ED50 Series, which Dormakaba rates as heavy duty. Both Dormakaba units are specified per leaf, so a pair takes two operators plus the header treatment for the opening, where the 9153 arrives as one double door kit.
9) Is the LCN 9153 Buy American Act compliant for a government job?
Yes, the 9153 is BAA qualified, which is the box a federal, state, or municipal spec usually needs checked. It is also a commercial rated product with ANSI/BHMA A156.19 compliance, so it lines up with the typical public building accessibility spec.
10) Does someone have to push an actuator button every time, or will the LCN 9153 open on its own?
Push 'N Go means the operator takes over as soon as a pedestrian pushes the door open about five degrees, then powers it the rest of the way. So the door still works for anyone who just walks up and pushes, in addition to whatever actuator or switch you wire to the control box. Handy in a healthcare or multi-tenant corridor where you do not want everyone hunting for the plate.
11) What is the difference between the LCN 9153 and an electrohydraulic power operator like the Norton Rixson 5700?
The 9153 is electromechanical, meaning a motor and gearbox drive the arm, with microprocessor control and labeled potentiometers plus LED power indicators for setting it in the field. The Norton Rixson 5700 Series and the 6000 Series are electrohydraulic instead. Both approaches do low energy swing door duty; the practical difference for a service tech is what is inside the header and what you carry to adjust it.
12) How long will the door stay open with the LCN 9153, and can I change it after install?
Hold open is adjustable from 1 to 30 seconds through the programmed time delay. The control box uses clearly labeled potentiometers, so a maintenance tech can retime the opening on site without special software. On a slow moving population like a clinic entrance you can dial it long; on a conditioned lobby you keep it short.
13) Is the LCN 9153 a full powered automatic entrance operator?
No. It is a low energy operator, which means slower opening speeds and lower forces under ANSI/BHMA A156.19, activated by a knowing act such as a push plate or the Push 'N Go feature. It is not the class of operator used for a sensor driven, full power automatic entrance with guide rails and safety sensor packages. For accessibility compliance on a pair of doors, low energy is normally what the spec calls for.
14) Does the LCN 9153 come with activation switches, or do I need a package that includes them?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark ships with the operating hardware for the pair: two standard motor gearboxes, two control boxes, two mounting brackets, a 72 inch metal cover, two standard arms and fasteners, with Push N Go taking over automatically when a pedestrian pushes the door to five degrees. If you want actuation supplied in the same box, the Norton Rixson 5740K2 is a 5700 Series electrohydraulic power operator complete kit with touch free switches, and the Norton Rixson 4540 is a 4500 Series low energy door operator supplied with an RF square switch and a WiFi interface.
15) Is the Norton Rixson 5740K2 a drop-in replacement for an LCN 9153?
No. The LCN 9153 Benchmark is an electromechanical low energy operator, 120V, sold as a double door package with two gearboxes and two control boxes under a single 72 inch cover. The Norton Rixson 5740K2 is a 5700 Series electrohydraulic power operator complete kit with touch free switches and is rated heavy duty, so it is a different drive type and a different scope of supply. Swapping between them means new header prep and new wiring runs rather than reusing the 9153 bracket layout.
16) My spec calls for obstacle detection on the automatic operator. What are my options alongside the LCN 9153?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark is a microprocessor controlled low energy operator that meets ANSI/BHMA A156.19 and ANSI A117.1, is ADA compliant in power mode, and holds the door open on an adjustable 1 to 30 second delay. If the drawing calls out obstacle detection by name, the Cal Royal 8600 Series is a low energy automatic swing door operator specified with obstacle detection. The SDC AUTOP Series is another low energy automatic door operator with microprocessor control, matching the 9153 control approach.
17) Can I match the LCN 9153 header cover to the aluminum storefront it is going on?
Two anodized finishes: 628 aluminum anodized and 710 dark bronze anodized. Those are the two standard storefront colors, so the 72 inch cover reads with clear anodized or dark bronze framing on a glass front entrance. Dormakaba's ED100LE and ED50LE are also stocked in anodized if you are matching operators across a building.
18) I need networked or wireless actuation on an accessible entrance. Does the LCN 9153 do that, or is there a different operator?
The LCN 9153 Benchmark uses a microprocessor control box with labeled potentiometers and LED power indicators, and it activates by Push N Go at five degrees of manual opening plus whatever switches are wired to it. For an operator supplied with wireless actuation as part of the model, the Norton Rixson 4540 is a 4500 Series low energy door operator furnished with an RF square switch and a WiFi interface. It is a single leaf operator, where the 9153 is the double door package.
