Description
F300 series garage door openers are designed for horizontally
tracked domestic garage doors. Fitting to other door types or in
public areas is at the installer’s discretion.
All openers meet European norms for safety as required by EU
law. Refer to the certificate of conformity in this manual for list of
standards in compliance.
All models use the same 1 part or 2 part belt drive rails at a
standard length of 3m. 2 part rails are delivered with the belt
assembled inside and a connector sleeve to join.
Openers have a 24Vdc motor. An incremental encoder monitors
door position. On commissioning the opener runs a door test to
record minimum forces required. Doors cannot be moved while
the opener is engaged. An override cord on the rail disengages
the motor. Used in exceptional circumstances, e.g. power failure.
Remote controls vary between models. All Foresee remotes,
wireless buttons, wireless keypads are compatible with any
Foresee control panel. The opener can be set to respond to 1 of 4
channels. A home can have 4 automated doors and/or gates. Up
to 15 remotes can be registered to an opener. A safety input is
provided for optional safety photo beams or edges.
Auto-close option is up to 4 minutes. The opener beeps for 20
seconds before closing. You need to be confident a car can
pull in clear of the door every time. We recommend fitting a
photobeam to prevent the door closing until doorway is clear.
User Safety warnings
Automatic doors can be hazardous. It is the responsibility
of the home owner to be aware of the risks and provide,
adequatewarning of hazards. Users should be given instruction on
the safe use of the automatic door. Do not let children or untrained
people use remotes.Donotletunsupervised children near the door.
Thismanualiswrittenforengineersawareof construction criteria for
automatic doors and accident prevention criteria in force in the
automation industry.Only qualifiedpersons may do installation work
on a door that could affect the door’s risk assessment.
Turn off the power before working on the gate. We recommended
signage towarn usersand members of the public of risk of injury to
pedestrians.Donotpermitpublicaccesstothedoorarea. Donot use
remotes when out of sight of the door.
DESCRIPTION
Door condition
Automated doors must be sound, well balanced, and in good
working order. Guide rollers and tracks must be free running
and well maintained. A door should be able to be lifted with one
hand, and stay in the half way position un-supported. The door
frame and ceiling mounting points must be sound to take the
opener’s weight and horizontal forces required to pull the door.
The rail length determines the door height. Max height for a 3m
rail is 2.24m. Longer rails can be specified for up to 2.8m doors.
Openers may be used on canopy doors with a convertor arm,
but at the installers risk.
Doors without an alternative access door may need an external
emergency door release in case of power failure. Remove all
bolts from the door to prevent jamming while automated.
Openers are delivered in sets;
FK351 / FK352 “Classic” - 700N motor, 1 or 2 piece belt drive
FK361 / FK362 “Classic” - 1100N motor, 1 or 2 piece belt drive
FK371 / FK372 “Classic” - 1100N motor, 1 or 2 piece belt drive
FK391 / FK392 “Classic” - 1300N motor, 1 or 2 piece belt drive

The opener carton contains a motor head,
the fixing pack above, two hangers, and a
curved arm. Remotes and accessories
depend on the set so check the carton label.
Assembling a 2 piece rail
A two piece rail pack may be ordered. to be assembled on site. Rails can be made up to
3m or 3.6m lengths. Follow the instructions below. One piece rails need no assembly.
2
Take out any cardboard packing. Snip any
packing ties that hold the chain.
Turn over the centre rail section and
turn up the four locking tabs.
Lay it down and align the rail sections
letting the chain lay flat inside the rail.
4
Slide the locking sleeves across the rail
ends. This is not easy. It best done on a
flat surface. If continues to resist, check
the ends of the rails for damage.
5
PREPARATION
Clear an area 3m long. Lay down some
cloth or carboard to keep the chain clean.
Cut off all the packaging.

There are two sections. The chain is
laid out through the sections. Stretch
the sections out in a line to take out
any tangles in the chain

The roof hangers may also be fitted
to the rail and motor head if you
know the roof joist positions. Apply
a finger of grease to the chain.
Turn the rail over (chain down) and fit the
rail over the motor shaft and olive. It will
need a bit of patience to align it. Fit two
saddle clamps with the four self tappers.

Place the motor head in its
polystyrene box for protection while
assembling.
Find the olive in the accessories bag.
Fit it to the motor shaft first.
Check that the chain engages properly with
both cog wheels. The chain should be long
enough. Slacken off the spring if necessary

When the sections are joined
together, turn the rail over, then turn
up all the remaining locking tabs.
Be careful not to let the chain fall out
when it is upside down.
Tighten the chain checking for tension.
The chain should move sideways, but
not touch the top or bottom of the rail

The header bracket is fixed to the door frame in the centre
of the opening. It must be set high enough for the door
not to interfere with the rail throughout the door’s travel.
Bracket height depends on the door thickness and door
roller design. Open the door to see the highest point the
door edge reaches.
Mark hole centres,
then mount the
bracket with four
suitable fixings.
The header bracket’s lower slotted mounting holes must
be at least 10mm above the highest point the door
reaches. The slotted holes can be set 200mm higher if you
prefer, but over 50mm from the ceiling.

You will need a step ladder. Lean
the opener against the door
frame with the motor resting on
poly-styrene packaging for
protection.
Fix the rail end to the header
bracket with the long bolt. Insert
the bolt thru the bracket’s square
hole first. Fix the roof hangers to
the opener head.
Lift the head onto the steps until the
rail is horizontal. Ensure the
opener’s rail is parallel with the
door guides.
Run the door up & down. Check it
clears the opener. Bend the two
roof hangers ready to fix to the
ceiling.
Lifting the rail
Fit the ‘J’ bar to the door
bracket with the cotter pin.
Insert the split pin. Open
one leg to secure it.
Height is not critical,
but should be within
150mm of the top of
the door.
The full force of the opener will be pulling on this
bracket. Bolting through the door is best, with the nuts
on the inside. Coach bolts have plain heads that cannot
be tampered with from outside.
Find the 8mm cotter pin, its
split pin, and the ‘J’ bar.
The door bracket fixes to the centre of the
door below the header bracket. It
required a strong fixing, so choose a
structural member of the door.

Run the door up and down to
make sure it clears the rail and
brackets. Then connect the ‘J’
bracket to the rail carriage.
Lift the opener to the horizontal. Measure the
height Hfrom the top of the rail to some
useful fixing points, such as a roof joist. Bend
up two ‘U’ brackets from the perforated strip
supplied.
Open the garage door and align the motor
head laterally. Mark the ceiling. Lower the
opener, then fix the bracket to your ceiling
marks. Fix the third saddle clamp to the rail
near to the motor head, then bolt it to the
hanging ‘U’ bracket, or a piece of angle.
Fix the second ‘U’ bracket half way along the
rail. This time you must use the two plastic rail
clamps because the J bracket passes this
point

The FA31 optional photo beam prevents
the door closing if the beam is blocked
by a car or any other object. If an object
moves into the beam while the door is
closing, it will stop and re-open. Used
when the automatic closing is enabled.
Mount 250mm above floor level. Door
parts must cross the beam in normal
travel. Photobeam function must now be
enabled in Step 4 of the programming.
Photo beam fitting
Run a cable to each side
of the door frame. Keep
the cable clear of moving
door gear. Any damage
will stop the door closing.
The PCB includes a 15 code radio receiver,
24V battery charger, output for an external
24V lamp, and lock interface. Programming
is all external, with 4 buttons, display, and
an internal alarm beeper for feedback.
There are no user serviceable parts inside.

problems developing within the door
tracks and springs. Faults not attended to
early may develop.
Damage resulting from low maintenance
is not covered by the warranty. Spares
are available from your dealer. Only
competent persons should be allowed to
fit spare parts.
Repeat program steps 1 to 3 if a motor
part is replaced. Re-programming all
steps if the PCB is replaced.
Garage doors & openers can be dangerous. These safety
warnings are to protect users of automated doors. Cut
this label out and stick it to the door, or download a copy.
