A new electromagnetic door control solution has been brought to the market to make busy buildings safer, more accessible and easier to maintain.

The AR9798 from ARRONE helps eliminate unnecessary maintenance calls by featuring a green LED voltage light on the switch box to indicate that there is a connection to a power source.

This light shows green when the optimum voltage between 20-24 volts is being received, giving maintenance teams reassurance that there is a good and reliable connection to the power source. If the voltage drops below 20 volts, the light goes out, helping facilities teams identify whether an issue is electrical or mechanical which in turn minimises costly callouts to the wrong party.

The closer’s hold-open and free-swing functions allow easy movement throughout a building while still ensuring doors will swiftly close in the event of a fire.

In hold-open mode, the AR9798 holds the door open at a set angle between 80° and 160°, enabling people to move more easily through high-traffic areas such as corridors in hospitals, offices and public buildings.

In free-swing mode, the door can move with little to no resistance, making it suitable for environments where accessibility and ease of movement are important, including care homes and healthcare settings.

Conversion between the two settings is a simple process involving the removal of only two fixings from the arm of the closer. Compared to the standard method for changing the whole arm set, which can typically take 10-15 minutes, this new process takes significantly less time and reduces the risk of incorrect transition.
