SDC AUTOS136V Auto Series 36-Inch Swing Door Operator

The SDC AUTOS136V Auto EntryControl is a low-energy automatic swing door operator designed for accessible, hands-free operation of single commercial doors up to 36 inches wide and 438 lbs. Featuring a push-arm configuration, 39-inch surface-mounted housing, 628 satin aluminum finish, and built-in 24 VDC/1A accessory power supply, it integrates with electric locks, access control systems, and push-plate actuators. Its self-tuning controller, adjustable opening and closing speeds, onboard lock sequencing, and non-handed design support ADA-accessible entrances in commercial, institutional, and healthcare facilities.

SDC AUTOS136V Auto EntryControl Low-Energy Swing Door Operator with Push Arm, 36-Inch Door

The SDC AUTOS136V Auto EntryControl is a surface-mounted, low-energy electromechanical swing door operator engineered to automate single-door entrances in commercial, institutional, healthcare, and educational facilities. Manufactured by Security Door Controls (SDC), the AUTOS136V features a push-side top-jamb mounting configuration designed for doors up to 36 inches wide and weighing up to 438 lbs (199 kg). Its non-handed construction accommodates compatible left-hand reverse and right-hand reverse door applications, while the 39-inch aluminum housing with a 628 satin aluminum finish provides an architectural appearance for interior entrances. Designed for accessible pedestrian operation, the AUTO Series supports installations meeting ANSI/BHMA A156.19 low-energy power-operated door requirements and applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards when properly installed and configured.

The AUTOS136V uses a 24 VDC permanent-magnet motor with a belt-driven encoder and microprocessor-based control system to deliver controlled, quiet door movement. The operator requires 115 VAC, 60 Hz input power and has a rated power consumption of 100 watts. Its integrated 24 VDC, 1-amp accessory and lock power supply provides power for compatible electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, and motorized latch-retraction exit devices without requiring a separate power supply when the connected equipment remains within the available capacity. The operator housing measures 39 inches long x 4-1/2 inches high x 4-7/8 inches deep, and the drive assembly weighs approximately 22 lbs. Additional specifications include 3.5A fused circuit protection, IP23 ingress protection, and an operating temperature range of -4 F to 131 F (-20 C to 55 C), supporting installation in appropriately protected commercial environments.

The SDC AUTOS136V automatic door opener incorporates a self-tuning, self-learning control system that simplifies initial commissioning and automatically establishes operating parameters for the installed door. A single-button setup process works with adjustable opening speed, closing speed, hold-open time, and power-off closing speed to configure door movement according to application requirements. Built-in mechanical stops, obstruction detection, momentary back-pressure relief, and a selectable power-close function provide additional operating control. The operator supports automatic, hold-open, and manual operating modes, with a configurable night or exit-only function. Onboard lock sequencing coordinates the release of compatible electrified locking hardware before powered door movement, eliminating the need for separate sequencing controls in supported installations. Integrated diagnostics and configurable control settings simplify installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

For commercial access control integration, the AUTOS136V provides dedicated connections for interior and exterior activation devices, access control systems, emergency shutdown, fire alarm inputs, and presence sensors. Supported activation devices include wall-mounted push plates, wireless actuator kits, digital keypads, and compatible credential-based access control equipment. The operator also provides electric lock control, 24 VDC auxiliary power, and door-position status outputs for fully open and fully closed conditions. Optional SDC AUTO-IR presence sensors provide additional pedestrian detection during the door-closing cycle, while SDC 480 Series push plates and compatible bollard-mounted activation switches support accessible entry configurations. Installation is simplified through pre-drilled mounting locations, a slotted housing backplate, and a fixed mounting bolt that allows a technician to position the drive assembly during installation. The AUTO Series carries manufacturer-listed UL 325 and UL 10C certifications and is identified for approved fire-door operator applications, subject to door assembly requirements and applicable codes. Backed by a 2-year manufacturer warranty, the SDC AUTOS136V provides automated door operation with integrated locking control for accessible commercial entrances and high-traffic facilities.
