Regulating Controls

The LCN 4040SE has independent regulators to control:

Closing Speed: Adjustment to increase or decrease the speed at which
the door closes. This allows the appropriate momentum to close the door
in a safe and secure manner. Closing speed adjustment operates from the maximum opening to 15°.

Latching Speed: The latching speed allows the door to close quietly and firmly. It can be adjusted to increase or decrease the speed at which the door finally closes. This assists the final stage of the closing cycle to help overcome stubborn latchbolts or air pressure conditions. The latching speed adjustment operates from 15° to closing.

Backcheck: Adjustable hydraulic backcheck provides a cushioning effect when the door is forcibly thrown open to prevent damage to the closer, door and frame. The backcheck adjustment allows the level of resistance
in the latter stage of opening to be set at the level required. Backcheck is effective from 75°. Backcheck is a requirement for all fire rated closers.

Hold-Open: Suitable for fire or smoke barrier doors where the door may need to be left in a hold-open position in normal operating conditions. The hold-open function will release and automatically close the doors under fire conditions. The hold-open function can be set to hold-open at 3° increments between 85° and 110°.

Momentary On/Off Switch: This allows testing of the door release, and has been designed for this purpose only. Where the closer is to be open and shut on a regular basis, we recommend that an external control switch is mounted adjacent to the door to switch off the hold-open function as to allow the door to shut when required.

Mounting Details

Hinge (Pull Side) Mounting: Maximum opening templating allows 110°: Hold-open points between 85° and 110° in approximately 3° increments. Pull side mounting on a double egress frame requires a handed double egress arm. Maximum hold-open to 95°: 2-11/16” (67 mm) maximum reveal on pull side. SEL track provides hold-open points between 90° and 120°‚ in approximately 3° increments. SE, SEL ELECTRICAL OPTIONS: These track assemblies require a single power circuit for the holding solenoid. SE or SEL holding solenoid is either 24V or 120V input, please specify. An optional 4040SE-3210 TRANSFORMER reduces 120V AC line voltage to 24V AC. Circuitry accepts either AC or DC input.

• Butt Hinges should not exceed 5" (127 mm) in width.
• Swing Clear Hinges consult factory.
• Auxiliary Stop is recommended at hold-open point.
• Reveal should not exceed 1/8" (3 mm) for standard arm. Should not exceed 2-11/16" (68 mm) for double egress arm.
• Top Rail minimum 3-1/2" (89 mm).
• Installation with PLATE, 4040SE-18 requires SPECIAL TEMPLATE and 1-3/4" (44 mm) minimum top rail.
• Head Frame requires 2" (51 mm) minimum.
• Flush Ceiling with 2" (51 mm) head frame does not require special templating.
• Door Width 2'4" (711 mm) minimum for single door with SE.
• 4'8" (1422 mm) minimum for paired doors with SE.
• Clearance of 2-3/8" (60 mm) behind door required for 90° installation.

Stop Face (Push Side) Mounting: Information applies to 4040 SE closers unless otherwise specified. Maximum opening templating allows 110°: Hold-open points between 85° and 110° in approximately 3° increments. SEL track provides hold-open points between 90° and 120°‚ in approximately 3° increments. SE, SEL ELECTRICAL OPTIONS: These track assemblies require a single power circuit for the holding solenoid. SE or SEL holding solenoid is either 24V or 120V input, please specify. An optional 4040SE-3210 TRANSFORMER reduces 120V AC line voltage to 24V AC. Circuitry accepts either AC or DC input.

• Butt Hinges should not exceed 5" (127 mm) in width.
• Auxiliary Stop is recommended at hold-open point.
• Top Rail minimum 5-3/4" (146 mm).
• Installation with PLATE, 4040SE-18PA requires SPECIAL TEMPLATE and 2" (51 mm) minimum top rail.
• Stop Width 1-1/4" (32 mm) minimum.
• Door Width 2'4" (711 mm) minimum for single door with SE.
• 4'8" (1422 mm) minimum for paired doors with SE.
