SDC AUTOP172V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the SDC AUTOP operator work on a pair of doors, or is it single-door only?
The AUTOP is built for double swing door openings. It is a two drive unit operator in one header, so both leaves of a pair are powered from a single housing. Housing lengths cover 72 inch, 84 inch, and 96 inch door openings (75, 87, and 99 inch housings respectively), so size the unit to the full frame width, not to one leaf. If you only need one leaf powered, a single-door operator such as the DORMA ED900 push side top jamb mount is the type to look at instead.
2) How do I pick between the Model 1, 2, and 4 arm configurations on the SDC AUTOP?
Arm choice follows which side of the door the header sits on. Model 1 gives push arms with 35mm spindles for push side mounting. Model 2 gives pull arms with 20mm spindles for pull side. Model 4 is the mixed setup, one push arm and one double egress arm with 80mm and 20mm spindles, for a double egress pair where the leaves swing opposite directions. The operator itself is non-handed, so the arm and spindle selection is what commits the install.
3) Is the SDC AUTOP door operator ADA compliant, and what standards does it carry?
Yes. The AUTOP is ADA compliant and carries ANSI A156.19, the low energy power operator standard, along with UL325 and ETL Intertek listing. It is also UL10C fire rated at 3 hours, which is what lets it go on a rated opening in a hospital corridor or a stairwell.
4) My opening is a single 36 inch door, not a pair. Is the SDC AUTOP still the right operator?
No. The AUTOP is a two drive unit sized by full opening width, with the smallest configuration covering a 72 inch door opening. For a single leaf, look at a single-door operator instead: the LCN 6440 or 6440XP COMPACT modules run on 24VDC and handle doors up to 185 lb, and the Dormakaba ED100LE and ED50LE are single swing door operators as well.
5) What is an equivalent low energy operator to the SDC AUTOP for a single door instead of a double swing pair?
The SDC AUTOP Series is built around double swing door operation, with arm/spindle configurations sold as push arms, pull arms, or a combined push and double egress arm set. If the opening is a single door, the DORMA ED900 is offered specifically as a push side top jamb mount low energy swing door operator for single door application. The Dormakaba ED100LE is another low energy swing door operator to consider for that use.
6) I need a pull side low energy operator - is the SDC AUTOP the right pick or is there a better match?
The SDC AUTOP is non-handed and offered in a pull arm configuration with 20mm spindles, so it can be set up pull side. If you would rather use a unit designed around pull side mounting from the start, the LCN 9131 Benchmark is a low-energy electromechanical operator with pull side mount and ADA compliance, and the Norton Rixson 6000 Series 6011 is a low energy electrohydraulic operator with slide track arm and pull side mounting.
7) The SDC AUTOP runs on 120V - what if I only have 24VDC available at the opening?
The SDC AUTOP Series is a 120V operator with a built-in 1 Amp power supply, so it expects line voltage at the header. If your run is low voltage, the LCN 6440 COMPACT and the LCN 6440XP COMPACT are both specified with 24VDC power.
8) Is there a heavy duty alternative to the SDC AUTOP for a high traffic entrance?
The SDC AUTOP uses a belt driven design with gears and pulleys rated for high traffic commercial use. If the specification calls out a heavy duty rating explicitly, the DORMA ED50LE, the Norton Rixson 5200 Series, the Norton Rixson 6000 Series 6011, and the Norton Rixson 5700 Series 5740K2 kit are all listed at a heavy duty level. The Norton Rixson units are electrohydraulic rather than electromechanical.
9) I want touchless actuators with the operator - does the SDC AUTOP include them or should I look at another model?
The SDC AUTOP ships as the operator with arms and spindles, carrying microprocessor control, onboard diagnostics, dip switches and a USB port for programming; actuation devices are specified separately. If you want the switches bundled, the Norton Rixson 5700 Series 5740K2 is sold as a complete kit with touch-free switches, the LCN 6440 COMPACT is described with touchless access, and the Norton Rixson 4500 Series 4540 comes with an RF square switch and WiFi interface.
10) Do I need a separate power supply or transformer for the SDC AUTOP operator?
No. A 1 Amp power supply is built into the header, so you run 120V line power to the unit and you are done. No external transformer or remote power enclosure to find space for.
11) Can an SDC AUTOP operator be used on an exterior entrance in a cold climate?
The AUTOP is rated from minus 4 to 131 degrees F, which covers most North American exterior vestibule and entry conditions. It is a commercial-duty unit, not residential rated.
12) How much programming is involved in setting up the SDC AUTOP, and can my tech adjust it in the field?
Setup is single button. The microprocessor control self-tunes and self-learns the opening, and preset dip switches handle the common adjustments. A USB port is on board for custom programming, and onboard diagnostics give the tech something to read when a door starts misbehaving instead of guessing. Obstruction detection and momentary back pressure relief are part of the standard control, not add-on sensors.
13) What is the difference between the SDC AUTOP and an electrohydraulic operator like the Norton Rixson 6000?
The AUTOP is electromechanical, belt driven through gears and pulleys, which runs quieter and draws less torque and power. The Norton Rixson 6000 Series and 5200 Series are electrohydraulic low energy operators rated heavy duty, and the 5740K2 is an electrohydraulic kit that ships with touch-free switches. Hydraulic units are the traditional choice on heavy or abused openings; the belt drive trades that for quieter cycling and simpler power. Note also that the AUTOP is a two-leaf header, while units like the LCN 9131 pull side and 9142 push side Benchmark operators are configured per door.
14) What is the push side alternative to the SDC AUTOP for a low energy opening?
The SDC AUTOP offers a push arm model with 35mm spindles. Comparable push side units include the LCN 9142 Benchmark, a low-energy electromechanical operator with push side mount, and the DORMA ED900 in the push side top jamb mount configuration.
15) Is the Norton Rixson 5200 a drop-in replacement for the SDC AUTOP?
No - they are not interchangeable at the header. The SDC AUTOP is supplied as a two drive unit header system sized to 72, 84, or 96 inch door openings with matching 75, 87, and 99 inch housings for double swing pairs, and mounts with 35mm, 20mm, or 80mm spindles depending on the arm model. The Norton Rixson 5200 Series is a heavy duty low energy power operator and carries its own mounting footprint and arm package. Treat any swap as a new install with fresh header prep and wiring, not a like-for-like exchange.
16) What finishes does the SDC AUTOP header come in for matching an existing storefront?
Two finishes: 628 dull aluminum and 710 dark bronze. Both are offered across all three housing lengths and all three arm configurations, so matching an anodized aluminum or dark bronze storefront does not limit your arm or size choice.
17) What are my finish-matching options if I cannot use the SDC AUTOP's 628 or 710?
The SDC AUTOP Series is offered in 628 dull aluminum and 710 dark bronze across all three housing lengths and all three arm models. If the storefront calls for a different appearance, the Dormakaba ED100LE and DORMA ED50LE are both offered in an anodized finish version. Confirm the exact anodized color against your storefront before ordering.
