Perform and log the annual maintenance inspection of a low-energy automatic operator to confirm it still meets its governing standard after a year of use.

Steps
Schedule the low-energy operator's annual inspection per the manufacturer's maintenance manual and the applicable low-energy operator standard.
Inspect activation devices, breakaway hardware, and door speed/force settings to confirm they remain within the standard's limits after a year of wear.
Confirm the door has not been field-modified to add sensor activation without also being upgraded to comply with the full-power standard's safety requirements.
Test manual/breakout operation to confirm the door can still be pushed open by hand in a power-loss or emergency scenario, as required for its egress function.
Log the inspection with date, technician, findings, and corrective actions in a maintained facility record, distinct from any separate full-power annual inspection program log.
Known gotchas
Annual low-energy operator maintenance is often confused with the separate AAADM inspection program built around full-power doors — low-energy doors don't automatically require an AAADM-certified inspector unless the facility, insurer, or AHJ specifically requires it.
Wear in the closing spring or motor over a year can silently push opening force or speed out of compliance even if the door 'looks' like it's working fine — objective force/speed measurement is needed, not just a visual check.
If maintenance records are missing or gapped, liability in a door-related injury claim often turns on whether documented annual maintenance actually occurred — an undocumented 'we always service it' claim is not equivalent to a retained log.
