Overview
The NB-4000 Commercial/Industrial Sliding Door Operator has been designed, tested
(over 500,000 cycles) and manufactured by brookfield industries, inc. for linear
accelerator sliding doors weighing up to 30,000 lbs with a maximum travel of 60” and
horizontal operating forces up to 700 lbs and linear speeds not to exceed 4.5 in/sec. If any
one of the following: horizontal operating force, weight, travel, speed or cycles exceeds the
rated value, please contact the Engineering Department for further evaluation.
The NB-4000 is designed to be mounted directly to the top or front of the same horizontal
beam that supports a linear motion system. The NB-4000 can also be modified for wall
mounted applications, such as those used in bottom roller supported doors.
This power open/power close electro-mechanical operator with its state of the art
components, make it the strongest, most reliable and easiest to install in the industry today.
Refer to the Terminal Strip Hookup for all open, partial open, close, stop and External
Safety Device inputs, which are all Class (2) 24VDC normally open momentary contact
(except the stop input, terminal #10, which is a normally closed input). Power supply
hookups for both Class (2) 24VDC, 110VAC and 230VAC(European installations) are also
indicated. The PLC then processes all this information, in addition to many other features
for proper control of these heavy lead doors. This door operator is patented under US
Patent No. 6,177,771 B1.
The NB-4000 Commercial/Industrial Sliding Door is compliant with UL 325 Section 30.2
External Entrapment Protection (Fail Safe/Self-Monitoring) providing all External Safety
Devises are wired and installed per this manual.
We are Authorized to Mark the NB-4000 with the ETL (US and Canada), and CE markings
from Intertek Testing Services to assure compliance with UL 325(Control No. 3011624),
FCC Part 15 (Emissions) and the following International Standards: EN 60335-1 and -2
(Safety), EN 61000-6-2 (Immunity), EN 61000-6-4 (Emissions), CAN/CSA-C22.2 and ICES-
003. The “listing” reports specifically refer to the heavy commercial/industrial doors
associated with linear accelerator rooms.
Logic Control:
This Operator offers the latest technology in PLC (Programmable Logic Control). The
following (3) modules snap to a DIN rail base:
CPU (Central Processing Unit)- processes and stores data in its internal register such as
door position presets, inputs from pushbutton stations and outputs to motor controls. This
extremely compact unit houses (8) LED 24 VDC inputs and (6) LED outputs with (3) isolated
commons.

Analog/Digital Converter- converts the analog signal of the Rotary Position Transducer to
a digital value.
Class (2) 24 VDC Power Supply- converts 110 supply voltage to Class (2) 24VDC power
to operate the CPU, A/D converter, Rotary Position Transducer and presence sensors.
These plug-in modules with LED make diagnostics and replacement of parts easy and quick
to perform.
Interface with the PLC is necessary to adjust Door Position Presets in the field. This is
accomplished by plugging in an 8- Pin Phoenix connector to the back of the Data Access
Unit (DAU) and a round female connector into the side panel of the operator. The DAU is a
hand held, touch screen device that is purchased separately.
The CPU has been programmed to adjust on the fly, such door position presets as Back
Check, Full Open, Latch Check and Full Closed. In addition, we’ve included a Partial
Open preset as required on most Linac Doors in the marketplace today.
Input commands to be processed by the PLC, are done so by making the appropriate
connections on the Terminal Strip Hookup. By connecting separate normally open
(SPST) switches between terminals 1 and 14 to open, terminals 1 and 13 to partially open,
terminals 1 and 12 to close and a normally closed (SPDT) switch to terminals 1 and 10 to
stop the door, provides the customer discrete control of each input from a momentary
contact push button station (not included). These commands can also be activated by
presence sensors, or control mats. Reversing the direction of the door while it’s moving
(dynamic) can be accomplished by simply pressing the appropriate switch to change
direction.
The NB-4000 features momentary contact Input commands for External Safety Devices
that comply with Entrapment Protection of UL 325 Section 30.2(Fail Safe/Self-
Monitoring). These devices are door mounted, 4-wire reversing edge contact type
sensors that reverse the door while closing. Note: The door will not be allowed to close
unless these sensors are correctly wired per this manual. When installing contact type
sensors, assure that they are properly secured to the leading edge of the door and that a
sufficient quantity of sensors are properly spaced and are of adequate length to assure safe
operation. Momentary contact Input commands and a low voltage Class (2) power
supply are also provided for additional (redundant) sensors, such as non-contact type
presence sensors that are frame mounted. brookfield industries does not manufacture
nor do we include External Safety Devices with any of our door operators. In order to
assure that external safety devices are properly installed and adjusted correctly, refer to the
owner’s manual for that particular devise. For proper wring, refer to Terminal Strip
Hookup and the Wiring Diagram included in this manual.
The Stop command (normally closed terminal #10) will stop the door in any position when
activated but it will not prevent a motor drive from malfunctioning nor is it a true emergency
stop. Emergency Stop (E-Stop) can only be accomplished by disconnecting AC
power to the operator (Terminal L1 and Terminal N).

A 24 volt, 14Ah Battery Backup System with a float charger is included that will
automatically open the door at design loads anytime power is interrupted. This assures that
the same level of safety is provided at all times in order to reduce the chance of personal
injury.
The NB-4000 features the same Absolute Position Feedback Control system and
software as other brookfield industries, inc. door operators. There are no limit or
proximity switches to adjust or install for any of the door positions under normal operation.
Simply adjust the door’s positioning presets as required by interfacing with the PLC via a
hand held Data Access Unit (purchased separately).
A Rotary Position Transducer attached to the worm gear output shaft provides the
position of the door. As the door changes position, the output signal from the transducer
varies in value. This signal, once converted to a digital value, is stored in the CPU for
further processing. This devise does not need to be “homed” or reset if there is a power
loss or electrical noise nor does it need to go through “learn speed” after power up or after
adjustments have been made.
Motor Control:
The NB-4000 uses a state of the art Regenerative (4-Quadrant) 90 VDC Motor Control.
This provides the best assurance that the door’s high inertia characteristics will not
“overhaul” (or “freewheel”) the motor; thus, resulting in controlled door motion. The NB-
4000 now features a multi-speed board that attaches to the top of the motor control. The
logic panel is greatly simplified with the elimination of the external speed pots and the
associated wiring. The new multi-speed board features control of (4) independent speeds.
The NB-4000 now has the flexibility of controlling separate creep close speeds (Preset 1)
and creep open speeds (Preset 2) as well as close speeds (Preset 3) and open speeds
(Preset 4). The motor control also features additional trimpots, which greatly improve the
performance of the drive and motion profile of such heavy doors. The DB (Dead Band)
trimpot sets the amount of main speed trimpot rotation to initial output voltage and controls
the amount of delay before regeneration starts. If not properly set, the motor may oscillate
or continue to hum. The RESP (Response) trimpot adjusts the dynamic response of the
system; therefore, increasing this setting will increase response time( if set too high ,
unstable operation may result). The IR Comp trimpot determines the amount in which the
motor speed is held constant as the motor load changes. For example, if set too low, the
motor may not obtain the desired speed fast enough or not at all. If set too high, the motor
may oscillate. The RCL (Reverse Current Limit) trimpot and FCL (Forward Current Limit)
trimpot adjusts the armature current limit or motor torque in their respective directions.
When properly set, the operator will have sufficient torque to operate in both directions,

while at the same time limiting the current to the motor. This will prevent damage to any of
the mechanical components of the door operator (also eliminates the need for unreliable
and hard to adjust manual slip or electromagnetic clutches).
The MAX (maximum speed) trimpot adjusts the voltage or speed of the motor in the forward
and reverse directions. The FACC (Forward Acceleration) trimpot adjusts the acceleration
time in the forward direction as a function of the maximum rated motor speed. It also
controls the Reverse Deceleration time. The RACC (Reverse Acceleration) trimpot adjusts
the acceleration time in the reverse direction as a function of the maximum rated motor
speed. It also controls the Forward Deceleration time.
Overload Protection for the DC motor is provided by using the appropriate line fuse to the
110VAC power supply of the motor control (see wiring diagram) and by the proper setting of
the Reverse Torque and Forward Torque trimpots, which controls the amount of DC
current to the motor in both directions.
Drive Train:
The NB-4000 is an electro-mechanical, power open/power close sliding door operator,
which converts rotary motion from a 56C, 3/4 HP 90VDC, 1750 RPM Motor and 6.3:1 In
Line Reducer to linear motion via a 1” diameter x 1” lead Precision Ball
Screw/Nut Assembly. The ball screw shaft is supported by a unique Rigid End Block
+Tensioning System. These blocks support the ball screw shaft in the most rigid
configuration of end fixity or what is referred to in engineering terms as the fixed end-fixed
end mode. The (2) precision bearings used in each support block are designed specifically
for ball screws and are positioned in such a manner that places the ball screw shaft in
tension only, no matter what direction the load is applied in. This design allows the ball
screw to operate at the highest possible speeds and forces without exceeding what is
known as the critical column strength or the critical rotational speed.
The ball nut assembly features a grease fitting for periodic maintenance and is equipped
with end wipers to keep grease in and dirt out of the nut assembly.
Supply Voltage:
115 VAC, +/- 10%, 50/60 Hertz, single phase. Motor control and power supply are
equipped with in-line circuit breakers. Surge protection and filtering of the supply voltage is
featured to protect door operator components and to assure reliable performance
(immunity) as well as minimizing RF noise (emissions).
For European installations we offer a 230 VAC single phase to 115 VAC step down, 1.5
KVA transformer. The transformer and surge protection are housed in a NEMA 1 enclosure
ready to be field wired from the supply voltage to the door operator.

Manual Operation:
In case of loss of power, manual operation shall be less than 50 lbs to open per UL 325
29.3. This is accomplished by engaging a flexible shaft into the rear shaft of the motor via a
remote control cable. A lever arm, which activates the remote control cable, and a 7”
diameter hand wheel, which is connected to the flexible shaft, are contained in a NEMA 1
box. Approximate opening time, while manually operating the hand wheel, is about 2.5
minutes. Important: the flexible shaft shall not be engaged to the motor unless power
to the operator has been interrupted.
Battery Backup (standard):
When power is interrupted, and if the door is in any position other than fully open, the
battery backup will be activated and provide low voltage DC power directly to the motor.
The system is designed to open the door once for each power interruption at a constant
speed. This system is not designed to open and close the door repeatedly. A float
charger is included to provide a constant charge on the battery. These components are
installed in a NEMA 1 box with a test switch that will interrupt power and allow for testing the
system. Also included is an end of travel limit switch, which must be installed so that it
disconnects power to the motor when the door is fully open. (this limit switch is only for use
in battery backup mode and not for normal operation).
This is a redundant system and does not replace or substitute any requirements of UL 325
section 29.3 Interruption of Power for manual operation.
Assure used batteries are disposed of at the appropriate drop off center.
