dormakaba / DORMA automatic door operator control family

Primary identifier: dormakaba automatic operator control family · Status: active

Family-level identification notes for dormakaba (including legacy DORMA naming) automatic door operator controls — label reading, branding confusion, and surplus verification checks.

Identity

Aliases: dormakaba door operator control (oem)
DORMA automatic door controller (common_name)
dormakaba / DORMA control board (common_name) — Legacy DORMA naming remains common in field language and marketplace titles.
RDX489-400 (revision) — DCUSA 2016 Dorma ESA “CONTROL.” Heritage ESA sliding identity — confirm generation vs ESA II before buying.
RDS2814-010 (revision) — DCUSA 2016 ESA II “MINI DRIVE CONTROL.” Different from ESA RDX489-400.
Dorma sliding door computer (mistaken) — Too vague; may omit whether the donor was sliding, swing, or another package type.
Revision notes: Legacy DORMA and current dormakaba branding can appear across multiple operator generations. Aftermarket 2016 listings separate ESA control RDX489-400 from ESA II mini drive RDS2814-010. Control revisions and harnesses are not interchangeable by logo alone. Capture sticker PNs, silkscreen marks, and connector keying from the donor before purchasing a lookalike.
Labels & connectors to capture: dormakaba and/or legacy DORMA branding on enclosure, PCB, or operator plates
ESA / ESA II or sticker PNs such as RDX489-400 and RDS2814-010
Model or type designations for the automatic operator package
Motor, safety, and activation connector sets
Revision marks on stickers or silkscreen
Common mistaken names: Any board titled only “DORMA parts” or “dormakaba door parts” without operator-control context
Activation sensors sold as dormakaba operator logic boards

Fitment & compatibility

Commercial automatic door operator packages under dormakaba branding, including field units still labeled DORMA. Confirm sliding vs swing (or other) package plates with the control label before claiming fitment.

Voltage: Package-specific. Use labels on the control and official documentation for that identity; do not assume voltage from legacy DORMA experience or marketplace thumbnails.

Equipment / package	Status	Notes	Source / provenance
dormakaba / DORMA automatic operator packages (matching control identity)	Compatible with caveats	Potential match only when branding marks, revision text, and connectors align with the removed control. Cross-generation dormakaba packages still require separate verification.	Public dormakaba automatic entrance product presence and common legacy DORMA field labeling; exact control matching remains a physical verification step.

Condition / value guidance

Common mistakes

Matching only on a DORMA logo without connector or revision evidence
Assuming legacy DORMA and newer dormakaba packages share harnesses

Revision differences

Legacy branding can hide generation gaps — demand label and connector photos that match your removed board

Verify before purchase

Readable dormakaba / DORMA control identity in photos
Connector parity with your removed assembly

Guides

Curated field notes

dormakaba automatic operator controls — including assemblies still carrying legacy DORMA marks — create branding confusion in surplus channels. Listings may say DORMA, dormakaba, or only “automatic door control,” which frustrates both search and fitment. Photograph every brand mark, capture package type, and separate the operator logic assembly from activation peripherals. ESA / ESA II numbers from older aftermarket catalogs are identification cues, not a complete current dormakaba SKU list. Public dormakaba pages are linked for brand orientation; no manufacturer affiliation is claimed.
