    The Ditec HA-8 operator is designed to work with a 3-position switch. This switch provides three key settings for controlling the door's function. The user can select from "On," "Off," and "Hold Open" to easily manage the automatic door's operation based on their needs. This simple, direct control allows for quick adjustments to a door's accessibility and security

    Control Unit

    The control board acts as the brain of the system, managing all door functions.

    • Controls opening/closing cycles
    • Adjusts hold-open time and closing speed

    • Monitors safety inputs and system behavior

    Advanced programming allows customization for different environments (healthcare, retail, etc.).
