SDC AUTOS136V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand SDC AUTOS door operator?
Handing is not part of the order on the AUTOS. It ships non-handed and installs on either a left or right swing door, so one part number covers both openings in a building. What you do have to decide is which side of the door it mounts on, push side or pull side, because that changes the arm you order with it.
2) What is the difference between the push arm and pull arm options on the SDC AUTOS operator?
The arm choice follows which face of the door the operator sits on, and the two arms use different spindles, so they are not interchangeable. Option 1 is a push arm with a 35mm spindle, for an operator mounted on the push side of the door. Option 2 is a pull arm with a 20mm spindle, for pull side mounting. Option 3 is an arm kit containing one push arm and one pull arm with both the 35mm and 20mm spindles, which is what to order when the mounting side is not settled at the time of purchase or when a single stocking item has to cover both conditions across a property.
3) Can an SDC AUTOS automatic operator go on a fire rated door?
Yes. The AUTOS carries a UL10C fire rating at 3 hours and meets NFPA 101 Life Safety Code requirements, so it can be applied to a rated opening such as a healthcare corridor door or a rated stair vestibule. It is also UL325 listed for the power operator itself. Confirm the door and frame assembly's own rating still governs the total assembly.
4) Will an SDC AUTOS operator satisfy an ADA accessible entrance requirement?
That is what it is built for. The AUTOS is a low energy swing door operator meeting ANSI A156.19, which is the standard that governs low energy power operated doors, and it is stated as ADA compliant. Low energy means the door opens at a controlled speed from a knowing act, a push plate or a wave switch, rather than sensing traffic and swinging at full automatic speed, so it does not need the guide rails and full sensor package a full power automatic entrance requires. That is why it is the usual answer for a restroom door, a common area door in a multi tenant building, or bringing an existing manual entrance into compliance.
5) My electrician has 120V available at the header but no low voltage run. Which automatic door operators work with that, and which ones expect 24VDC?
The SDC AUTOS Series operator runs on 120V and carries a built in 1 Amp power supply, which also feeds lock sequencing and external function switching, so the header connection is line voltage. The LCN COMPACT operators are the other side of that decision: the 6440 is described with 24VDC power and touchless access for 185 lb doors, and the 6440XP with 24VDC low energy operation and 185 lb door capacity. That difference decides which trade does the rough in and whether a separate transformer or power supply has to be specified for the electric lock and actuators on the same opening.
6) I need one automatic operator model that can go on either the push side or the pull side of an opening. Which low energy operators handle that, and how do the alternatives differ?
The SDC AUTOS Series operator is non-handed for left or right swing and is set up for surface mounted push or pull operation, with the arm selection making that call at order time: arm 1 is a push arm with 35mm spindle, arm 2 is a pull arm with 20mm spindle, and arm 3 is a kit containing one push and one pull arm with both 35mm and 20mm spindles. The LCN Benchmark operators split that decision across two part numbers instead, the 9142 being a push side mount electromechanical operator and the 9131 a pull side mount electromechanical operator. The Dormakaba ED900 as configured with arm is a push side top jamb mount unit for single door application. If a contractor is buying for several openings whose mounting side is not yet confirmed on the drawings, the arm kit approach and the fixed push side or pull side models are two different ways to handle that uncertainty.
7) Can I put an SDC AUTOS operator on an exterior door in a cold climate?
Rated from minus 4 to 131 degrees F, so it holds up on an exterior entrance in a northern winter and on a sun loaded south facing storefront alike. The belt driven gear and pulley drive also absorbs abuse from high traffic, which matters on an exterior door that gets pushed against by wind or hurried by hand. If your site drops below minus 4 F, that is outside the stated range.
8) I have a pair of doors at my entrance. How many SDC AUTOS operators do I need?
One AUTOS drive unit powers one door leaf, so a pair takes two operators, one over each leaf, plus an arm for each. If only one leaf of the pair needs to be the accessible route, a single operator on the active leaf is enough and the inactive leaf stays manual, which is the common approach on a vestibule where the second leaf is only opened for moving furniture. Each unit ships non-handed, so the same part covers both the left and right leaf.
9) What is involved in setting up and adjusting an SDC AUTOS door operator after it is installed?
Commissioning is a single button routine. The microprocessor control is self tuning and self learning, so it works out the door's opening and closing behavior itself rather than making you dial in speeds by trial. Adjustable hold open timing sets how long the door stays open after a push plate is hit. Obstruction detection and momentary back pressure relief handle the door meeting a person or a cart mid swing. For a property manager standardizing across several openings, that means each unit sets itself to the door it is on rather than needing a technician back for fine tuning on every one.
10) What other low energy swing door operators could I use instead of the SDC AUTOS?
Several, and the split is usually mounting side and voltage. The LCN 9131 Benchmark is a low energy electromechanical operator for pull side mounting and the LCN 9142 Benchmark is the push side version, so with those you choose the model by mounting side rather than choosing an arm option as you do on the AUTOS. The Dormakaba ED100LE and the DORMA ED900 in the push side top jamb mount configuration are other electromechanical options, the ED900 for single door applications. The LCN 6440 COMPACT is a 24VDC module for doors up to 185 pounds, which suits a job already running low voltage. The AUTOS stays a single non-handed unit for either side, with 120V and its own 1 Amp supply on board.
11) I have a heavy exterior door that gets constant traffic. Is a low energy operator like the SDC AUTOS the right choice?
The AUTOS is a commercial rated low energy operator with a belt drive built to absorb high traffic abuse, and for most accessible entrances that is the correct type. Where the door is unusually heavy or the traffic is punishing, the alternative worth pricing is a heavy duty operator: the DORMA ED50LE is listed as heavy duty, and on the electrohydraulic side the Norton Rixson 6000 Series and the Norton Rixson 5200 Series are both heavy duty low energy power operators. Electrohydraulic units are the traditional answer for large or wind loaded doors. Note the AUTOS runs on 120V with its supply built in, so a swap to a different family means rechecking the power at the header.
12) Do I need to order push plates or a touchless switch separately with an SDC AUTOS operator?
Actuation is a separate decision from the operator itself. The AUTOS is ordered as a drive unit with an arm option and its onboard 1 Amp supply handles external function switching, so whatever actuator you choose wires back to the operator. If you would rather buy the switches together with the operator, the Norton Rixson 5700 Series is sold as a complete kit with touch-free switches, and the Norton Rixson 4500 Series comes with an RF square switch and a WiFi interface, which is the route to take when running wire to a remote push plate is the hard part of the job.
13) What is the difference between a belt driven operator like the SDC AUTOS and an electrohydraulic one, and which brands use which?
The SDC AUTOS Series uses a belt driven mechanism with a gear and pulley system that reduces torque and power consumption and runs whisper quiet, with microprocessor self tuning and self learning setup on a single button. On the electrohydraulic side, the Norton Rixson 6011 is a low energy electrohydraulic door operator and the Norton Rixson 5740K2 is an electrohydraulic power operator kit; both are carried at a heavy duty level. The Dormakaba ED100LE and the Cal-Royal 8600 Series are the other low energy swing door operators in the same class. In a library, a clinic corridor or a hotel vestibule where operator noise is noticed by occupants, the drive type is the specification worth confirming before the order goes in.
14) I want the actuators and touchless activation to come with the operator rather than sourcing them separately. Which automatic door operators are packaged that way?
Three of the comparable operators name their activation in the product itself: the Norton Rixson 5740K2 is a 5700 Series complete kit with touch-free switches, the Norton Rixson 4540 in the 4500 Series comes with an RF square switch and a WiFi interface, and the LCN 6440 COMPACT module is described with touchless access. The SDC AUTOS Series is specified around its built in 1 Amp power supply, which supports lock sequencing and external function switching, so the activation devices and the electric lock are selected on their own and wired to the operator. A healthcare or government opening that has to be touchless on day one is where that packaging difference matters most.
15) What finish does the SDC AUTOS low energy operator come in, and will it match my other aluminum storefront hardware?
628 Dull Aluminum is the finish, and it is the only one offered on the AUTOS. That is the standard clear anodized aluminum tone used on most aluminum storefront and commercial entrance hardware, so it sits alongside typical aluminum door frames and 628 closers and exit devices without standing out. If your opening is dark bronze or a painted finish, the cover will not match and you would be looking at field finishing or a different operator.
16) The LCN 6440 and the 6440XP look like the same operator. What separates them, and how do they line up against the SDC AUTOS?
They are two distinct part numbers in different series records: the 6440 is a COMPACT automatic operator module in the 6400 Series described with 24VDC power and touchless access for 185 lb doors, while the 6440XP is in the 6440XP Series and is described as a COMPACT automatic door operator with 24VDC low energy operation and 185 lb door capacity. Both are 24VDC, which is the fundamental split from the SDC AUTOS Series operator running at 120V with its own 1 Amp supply on board. A distributor quoting a replacement should confirm which of the two the site actually has before substituting either one.
