GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Intended Use
This manual provides installation instructions, wiring instructions, and tune-in instructions for the MC521 Pro
Controller. It includes instructions for Dura-Glide 2000/3000, 5200/5300, Dura-Guard, Dura-Storm, and DuraMax 5400-Series, Automatic Slide door systems.
On Dura-Glide sliding doors, the MC521 Pro Controller replaces the MC521 or both the microprocessor control
box and the interface board on older models. The door activation devices (SU-100 motion sensors, carpets, push
plates, etc.), lock, function switch, doorway holding beams, and door position switches previously connected to the
interface board must be connected to the MC521 Pro Controller.
Attachment 1 illustrates the MC521 Pro Controller controls and indicators. Attachment 2 illustrates system wiring
for Dura-Glide series sliders.

Applicability
This manual is applicable to the Dura-Glide series sliding doors used on Dura-Glide 2000/3000, 5200/5300,
Dura-Guard, Dura-Storm, and Dura-Max 5400-Series, Automatic Slide door systems. Instructions for
connecting optional accessories are not provided in this manual.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installing the MC521 Pro Controller

NOTE : This manual covers new door installations in which the MC521 Pro is factory-installed and wired.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Evaluating Power Requirements

ENSURE power source is a dedicated 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz source with 20A circuit rating. If four operators are
used, the source should have a 30A rating.
ENSURE no more than four operators will be connected to one circuit.

12.10.2013

ENSURE power source is not shared with other equipment, i.e., cash registers, EAS systems, or other electromagnetic interference generators.

Connecting Main Power Wiring
Warning : To prevent injury to personnel, incoming electrical power to the header must be deenergized before
connecting electrical service to the control box.

Warning : All electrical wiring must conform to National Electrical Code Requirements.
1. DEENERGIZE incoming electrical power to header.
2. Refer to Attachment 2, and, using wire nuts, CONNECT incoming line, neutral, and ground wires
to the controller power harness.
3. IF adhesive wire clamps will be used, DEGREASE metal surfaces on inside of header cover
where clamps will mount.
4. SECURE wiring to top of the header track tube, and ENSURE the following:
All wires are clear of belts and belt brackets.
Header cover opens and closes without interference.

Connecting Accessories (As Applicable)

Refer to Attachments 2 and 3, and CONNECT any of the following subsystems to the MC521 Pro Controller:
Function switch (rotary, rocker and POWER switch wiring)
Stanguard threshold sensor
Doorway holding beam

TUNE-IN INSTRUCTIONS

Warning : The door path must be free of objects and remain clear until the First Install Sequence (FIS) is complete.
During this sequence the sensors are inactive and the door has no SAFETY. To stop the door, turn power off or put
the doors into breakout .
NOTE:
1. Tune In: The MC521 Pro Controller can be tuned-in using a handheld device or using the pushbutton switches
located on the controller. Tune-in using a handheld device is the preferred method.
2. Status Codes: During normal operation, the digital display indicates status codes. The UP and DOWN pushbutton switches can be used to enter and display data values. The user interface values are shown in Tables 2
through 4.
Document # 204066 REV D www.stanleyaccesstechnologies.com 1.800.7.ACCESS

MC521 PRO Control Box

3. Solenoid Lock: If a solenoid lock is installed with no lock circuit board (new style), set Lock Logic to the actual
lock type (Fail Safe or Fail Secure). If a Fail Safe or Fail Secure Lock is being installed with a lock circuit board
(old style), the Lock Logic must be set to Fail Secure.
4. Handing: Manually open door noting rotation of belt pulleys. If counter clockwise (CCW) use right hand during
FIS. If clockwise (CW) use left hand during FIS. See figure below.
5. FIS: The first installation sequence (FIS) is used to perform the initial configuration. Upon completion of FIS,
all setup parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. Subsequent power cycles will reload the configuration parameters that were configured during FIS.
6. Decimal points on digital display are encoder 1 signals.
7. After changing values, the values must be saved in EEPROM by cycling the door to full open.

MC521 application software is required. Connect the handheld device to the MC521 Pro Controller, turn on header
POWER switch, and perform the following steps.

Step 1 : Select MC521 Tool Box from the list

of applications.

Step 2 : Select Restart FIS on the Main

selection menu. (FIS = First Install

ANSI/BHMA and UL Compliance Requirements for Sliding Doors
(Sheet 1 of 2)
Final adjustment and proper operation of the door system must be and shall be performed in the field.

NOTE : These instructions are for informational purposes and do not substitute for review against the current

revision of the referenced standards. Where a requirement exists in multiple standards, such as the ANSI/BHMA
standard and the UL standard, the more restrictive condition applies. Other local codes and fire codes likely exist,
and must also be followed.

ANSI/BHMA A156.10 Sliding Door Systems

Sliding door systems must be installed and adjusted for compliance with the current version of ANSI/BHMA
A156.10, American National Standard for Power Operated Pedestrian Doors.
Critical aspects of the installation for compliance with A156.10 include:
Control mat size, layout, molding height, active areas and sensitivity.
Sensor pattern size, sensitivity, and function.
Knowing Act guidelines and secondary activating zone.
Entrapment protection rules including door speeds, forces, and time delays.
Signage. (Decals and application instructions are provided with the door system.)

All power operated door systems must be installed in compliance with the current edition of UL 325, Standard for
Safety for Door, Drapery, Gate, Louver, and Window Operators and Systems.
Wiring
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock proper and reliable grounding is mandatory. See Main Power Wiring instructions and Wiring Diagrams in this guide for grounding techniques.
2. Permanent wiring is to be employed as required by the National Electrical Code and/or local codes.
3. Connection of external devices is shown in the wiring diagrams and terminal block layouts elsewhere in this
guide. Refer to these figures for proper wiring of external devices to ensure compliance with UL 325.

12.10.2013

Knowing Act
Doors activated by a manual switch (Knowing Act switch in ANSI/BHMA terms) must have the switch installed
in a location from which operation of the door can be observed by the person operating the switch.

MC521 PRO Control Box

Attachment 4
ANSI/BHMA and UL Compliance Requirements for Sliding Doors
(Sheet 2 of 2)
To ensure that a sliding door operates in accordance with UL 325 entrapment protection criteria the following must
be established:
Manual opening force (sliding doors without breakout) or breakout force with power on or off must be less
then 50 lbf (222.4 N).
Closing force must be less than 30 lbf (133.4 N).
A closing sliding door must not develop kinetic energy in excess of 7 ft-lbf (9.49 J). This is achieved by proper
setting of the closing speed. See section entitled Closing Speed.
Maximum recommended door weight:
Dura-Glide 5000 Series = 150 lbs (70 kg) per panel.
Dura-Glide/Dura-Guard/Dura-Storm and similar 2000/3000 Series = 220 lbs (100 kg) per panel.

Closing Speed
Closing speed is measured over a travel distance of 2 or 3 feet. On smaller bi-part doors there may only be
2 feet of movement before the door system enters close-check (latch check). The time measurement should
start once the door has achieved closing speed, usually 6 inches from full open. Mark this point on the floor
with tape or other object. Measure from this point 2 or 3 feet toward the closed position and mark the next
point. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for the sliding panel to travel this distance during normal
closing cycles. Make sure the door system is not braking or entering close-check during the measurement.
Repeat the measurement 3 times and use the average value. The allowed time for a sliding panel to cover this
distance during the closing cycle is given in the table below.
