The Falcon 8200 Series Automatic Door Opener is a compact, low-energy commercial swing door operator designed to make pedestrian openings easier and more accessible. Ideal for applications where convenient ADA accessible door operation is required, the Falcon 8200 combines intelligent electronic controls, dependable mechanical operation and an attractive 26-inch header into one streamlined system.
Designed for commercial facilities including assisted living communities, ambulatory care facilities, hospitality properties, retail stores, restaurants and small offices, the Falcon 8200 provides smooth automatic door operation while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.
The operator is non-handed and is available for either pull-side or push-side mounting configurations, making the 8200 Series a versatile solution for a wide variety of single commercial swing door applications.
The Falcon 8200's small footprint and elegant design make it particularly well suited for commercial openings where accessibility is important without requiring an oversized automatic door operator header.
SmartLatch senses external pressure conditions and provides graduated energy assistance to help the door achieve secure latching.
Helps remove the load from the electric strike lip using a one-second delay, allowing an electrified opening to release before the automatic opening cycle begins.
A selectable Push 'n' Go feature allows the automatic operator to begin an opening cycle when pressure is applied to the door.
The operator automatically learns the opening position and detects obstructions, helping protect the door and surrounding wall from damage.
LED illumination on the control box assists with installation, setup and connection diagnostics.
An onboard 12 VAC power supply can power compatible actuators and receivers without requiring a separate external power supply.
Falcon designed the 8200 Series around a one-piece mounting bracket with integrated fastening notches. This reduces the number of separate components required during installation and eliminates the need for conventional end caps.
The non-handed motor gearbox further simplifies installation while providing mechanical door closer operation when the opening is used manually.
