Section 3: Critical Installation Information
3.3
Note: Total door weight, and not the square footage, is the critical factor in selecting the proper operator.
Square footage measurements are based on "square doors." (Example=16' x 16')
NOTE: Doors that require special windloading and wide doors, normally require increased strutting (reinforcement). Strutting doors can significantly increase door
weight beyond weight shown. Consult Customer Service for the impact of wind load andstrutting on square foot limits.
NOTE: "PU-FIP" stands for "polyurethane, foamed-in-place." If no notation is present, insulation is "polystyrene, layed-iin-place."
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2) Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating
improperly could cause severe injury. Have qualified service personnel make
repairs to cables,spring assemblies and other hardware before installing the operator.
3) Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically
and/or electronically interlocked to the power unit) that are connected to the door
before installing the operator.
4) Install door operator at least 8 feet above floor if operator has exposed moving parts.
5) Do not connect the door operator to the power source until instructed to do so.
6) Locate the control station: (a) within sight of door, (b) a minimum of 5 feet above
floor so that small children cannot reach it,and (c) away from all moving parts of door.
7) Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station and in a
prominent location.
8) For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the operation of the
manual release.

The Side Mount Operator can be assembled for right or left hand
mounting above or below the door shaft and is available with or
without hoist.
If you will be using the Tension Plate Kit shown on page 4.4, slide the
bearing plates on the operator output shaft. Assembly of the kit will be
done after the drive chain is installed.
1) Attach the operator sprocket to operator output shaft.
2) Align keyways and insert key into sprocket. Do not tighten set
screw at this time.
4) Align keyways and insert key into sprocket. Do not tighten set
screw at this time.
3) Attach sprocket to door shaft.
5) Assemble chain using chain connecting link.
6) Place assembled chain over door shaft sprocket.
7) Raise or lower operator to remove slack from the chain.

INSTALLATION TIP:
While sprocket set screws are loose, if possible, manually operate
door to help align chain. A properly tensioned drive chain should deflect
no more than 1/2” when thumb pressure is applied mid-way between the
2 sprockets. While there is no hard and fast rule governing chain tension,
it must be tight enough to prevent clicking, popping and jumping the
teeth of the sprocket. The 1/2” guideline will insure sufficient tension.

The Operators have a friction style clutch that can be adjusted.
NOTE: The clutch is intended to provide protection for the door, the
operator and associated equipment. It is not intended for entrapment
protection.
To Adjust the Clutch
1) Decrease the compression on the clutch until the operator will
not lift the door.
•Turning the adjustment castle nut counter-clockwise will
decrease compression and clockwise will increase compression.
2) Gradually increase compression until the operator will perform a
complete open and close cycle without clutch slippage.
3) Insert a cotter pin through the adjustment castle nut and bend a
leg of the cotter pin to hold it in place.
NOTE: Periodically check the system for proper clutch action. If clutch
starts to slip after working properly for some time , check manual
operation of door BEFORE adjusting clutch. The door may not be
operating freely or the counterbalance spring may need adjusting. Repairs
and adjustments must be performed by a trained service representative
using proper tools and instructions.

Photocell Wiring
NOTE: Installer must enable PHOTOCELL in calibration mode. See page 6.9.
2) To Mount Photocells: (Kit includes detailed Instructions).
Determine location for mounting. They do not need to be directly adjacent to
the door but must be somewhere along the wall where there will be an
unobstructed line between them. Fig 9.
They must extend out away from the wall sufficiently that no door hardware
breaks the plane of the photo-beam.
1) Nominal 24 Volt DC Commercial photocells with normally open contacts can be
connected as shown in Fig. 8.
NOTE: Blue wire supplies 20 – 40VDC. Photocells used must be compatible with this
voltage range.
NOTE: If no voltage is present at Blue wire, check fuse F-1 on Control board.
Monitored Photocells
Commercial Non-Monitored Photocells
WARNING:
Photocell systems provide entrapment protection when
mounted near the doorway in such a way that the lower portion of an individual’s
leg will break the photocell beam during normal walking conditions.
WARNING: Actuating operator using constant contact on the CLOSE button will
override external reversing devices, including photocells.
