4.1 Generelle installationstrin
- Forbered døren og karmen: Ensure surfaces are clean and free of obstructions. Mark drilling locations using the provided template.
- Bor pilothuller: Drill pilot holes according to the template for the closer body and arm bracket.
- Monter lukkemekanismen: Secure the door closer body to the door or frame using the provided screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Attach the Main Arm: Connect the main arm to the closer spindle.
- Install the Arm Bracket: Depending on the mounting type, attach the arm bracket to the door frame (Regular/Top Jamb) or the door (Parallel Arm).
- Connect the Forearm: Connect the forearm to the arm bracket. Adjust the forearm length as necessary to achieve the correct angle.

4.2 Mounting Types Overview
- Regular Arm (Pull Side Mount): Closer body mounts on the pull side of the door, arm extends away from the door.
- Parallel Arm (Push Side Mount): Closer body mounts on the push side of the door, arm folds parallel to the door. Requires a parallel arm bracket.
- Top Jamb Mount (Push Side Mount): Closer body mounts on the door frame on the push side, arm extends over the door.
5. Betjening og justering
The YALE 3501-Series door closer features adjustable closing and latching speeds to suit various applications. Adjustments are made via control valves located on the closer body.
5.1 Closing Speed Adjustment
The closing speed controls how quickly the door moves from its fully open position to approximately 10-15 degrees from the closed position. Locate the closing speed valve (typically marked '1' or 'C').
- Turn the valve med uret til formindske the closing speed (slower).
- Turn the valve mod uret til øge the closing speed (faster).
Forsigtighed: Do not turn valves more than two full turns counter-clockwise from the fully closed position, as this may cause fluid leakage.
5.2 Latching Speed Adjustment
The latching speed controls how quickly the door moves through the final 10-15 degrees of closing, ensuring the door latches securely. Locate the latching speed valve (typically marked '2' or 'L').
- Turn the valve med uret til formindske the latching speed (slower, more force).
- Turn the valve mod uret til øge the latching speed (faster, less force).
Note: Adjust both closing and latching speeds incrementally, testing the door's action after each adjustment.
5.3 Backcheck Adjustment (If applicable)
Some models may include a backcheck feature, which provides hydraulic resistance to prevent the door from being violently thrown open. If present, the backcheck valve (typically marked 'BC') can be adjusted:
- Tur med uret til øge backcheck resistance.
- Tur mod uret til formindske backcheck resistance.
6. Vedligeholdelse
The YALE 3501-Series door closer is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Årlig inspektion: Annually inspect all mounting screws for tightness. Tighten any loose screws.
- Arm Assembly Check: Verify that the arm assembly is securely attached and moves freely without excessive play.
- Væskelækager: Check for any signs of hydraulic fluid leakage around the closer body or adjustment valves. If leaks are detected, the closer may need replacement.
- Rensning: Wipe the closer body and arm with a soft, damp klud til at fjerne støv og snavs. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler.
7. Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Døren lukker for hurtigt/langsomt | Incorrect closing or latching speed adjustment. | Adjust closing and latching speed valves (Section 5). |
| Door does not latch | Latching speed too slow or insufficient power. | Increase latching speed (turn counter-clockwise) or adjust power size if applicable. |
| Døren smækker i | Latching speed too fast. | Decrease latching speed (turn clockwise). |
| Door closer leaks fluid | Beskadigede pakninger eller interne komponenter. | The closer requires replacement. Contact customer support. |
