How to Hook Up Auto Door Operators With ADA Buttons

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. This law has a vast scope intended to protect those with disabilities from discrimination. It covers many different categories, including doors. Doors with auto operators give easy access to the disabled who otherwise could not open them. Usually either motion sensors or push buttons operate the doors. The LCN Senior Swing 2800 series is one of the most commonly used ADA auto operators.
