Swing-door drive unit FDC and F4

Compact. Universal. Reliable.

The convenient, high-performance solution

Automation considerably enhances the user comfort of a traditional, manually-operated door. The flow
of pedestrian traffic is increased. Cumbersome, difficult-to-open doors become much easier to use. A mo-
tion detector can be used to provide contact-free access. Reliable door closure prevents a loss of valuable
heated or cooled air in the building, resulting in big energy savings.
The swing-door drive unit supports such management functions as controlled access and fire safety.
Movement is monitored by a series of standard- and norm-compliant safety elements.
