Abstract
A door is coupled to a door operator assembly that includes a motor operable in a first mode of operation to open the door at a pre-defined speed. The first mode of operation is overridden in response to an output of the motor reaching a minimum threshold due to a force applied to the door. In the second mode of operation, the output of the motor is adjusted to assist manual opening of the door.
