OPERATION—CONTROL PANEL/POWER DRIVE SYSTEM/MANUAL OPERATION
OPERATION
CONTROL PANEL
The Turbo Slide door is equipped with a Rytec
System 4 Drive & Control. It is a solid-state,
microprocessor-based, high-speeddoor control
system designed exclusively to operate Rytec high
performance doors.It provides connections for
multiple activators, close delay timers, status
indicators, as well as a means for programming and
controlling the door and displays statusandalarm
messages. All command functions to operate the
drive and control system are software controlled. For
information on control panel operation, seethe Rytec
System4Drive & Control Installation & Owner’s
Manual. (See Figure 6)
POWER DRIVE SYSTEM
The power drive system for the Turbo Slide door
consists of a motor, a gearbox, tensioners, and an
electric brake. The power drive system can be
mounted on either side of the head assembly. The
location of the drive system is determined at the time
the door is ordered from the manufacturer. Additional
drive components include idler gear assemblies, a
drive chain, chain reverser assembly (Bi-Parting
Door), and trolleys. (See Figure 6)
Figure 6
One end of the drive chain loop is connected to the
drive gear on the motor. The other end is connected
to the return idler-tensioner assembly that includes
an adjustable gear used to tension the drive chain.
The door panel(s) are connected to the drive chain
via the chain release mechanism and hang from
trolleys. The trolleys roll along tracks in the head
assembly to move the door panel(s) back and forth to
open and close the door.
On Bi-Parting Door systems, the drive chain moves
the door panels/trolleys toward each other to close
the door or away from each other to open the door by
passing through the chain reverser assembly in the
center of the door.
MANUAL OPERATION
When the motor is not operating the door, during a
power loss, or when routine maintenance calls for
power to be disconnected, the motor is automatically
locked in place by an electric brake on the motor
assembly that, in turn, locks the door.
An electric brake is used to halt the door if power to
the door is shut off for any reason. A manual door
chain drive release assembly connected to a rotating
handle (via cable) is provided to release the door
from the drive chain allowing the door to be manually
opened and/or closed. During a power failure, when
routine maintenance calls for power to be
disconnected, or when needing to get through the
door from the rear/non-activated side, this manual
release handle can be used. (See Figures 7 and 8)

OPERATION—PHOTO EYES/DOOR RETENTION/DEFROST
The disconnect must be in the OFF
position and properly locked and tagged
before performing the following procedure.
To manually open the door from the front, safety
protocols must be followed first. Once the drive
system has been de-energized and locked out, the
Chain Release Assembly lever must be pulled down
to disengage the door panel(s) from the drive chain.
Then the door panel(s) can be moved freely. To re-
engage the door panel(s), simply move the panel(s)
back to where the Chain Release Assembly locks
back into place on the drive chain. (See Figure 9)
Figure 9
PHOTO EYES
This safety system consists of a single set of photo
eyes. Each set of photo eyes consists of a
transmitter module and a receiver module. Each
module is mounted in a heavy-duty bracket installed
on the front side of the door. (See Figure 10 & 11)
The purpose of these photo eyes is to hold the door
open or, if the door is closing, reverse the direction of
the door if a person or object crosses the path of the
photo eye beam. The door will remain parked in the
open position until the beam is restored (object
removed).
Figure 10
IMPORTANT: The photo eyes are not intended to
be used as a door activator and will
not open the door when it is closed.
Figure 11
After the object breaking the beam of light is
removed:
If the door was opened by a non-automatic
activator (push button, pull cord, radio control,
etc.), the door will remain open until it is
closed by a non-automatic activator.
If the door was opened by an automatic
activator (floor loop, motion detector, etc.), the
door will close automatically.
The photo eyes are powered and properly aligned
when the power indicator on each eye is lit; amber on
the receiver, and green on the transmitter. When the
light beam is interrupted, the alignment indicator on
the receiver will go out but the transmitter will remain
green. Restoring the beam relights the alignment
indicator on the receiver.
DOOR PANEL RETENTION SYSTEM
The door retention system is designed to secure the
panels along the floor during a negative pressure
situation. It is also designed to guide the door panel
when opening/closing. The retention system consists
of stay roller assemblies for each door and are
mounted in front of each door panel. With the door
closed a properly positioned stay roller presses the
door slightly against the bulb seal, depressing it ¼-½
inch. (See Figures 11, 15, and/or 16)
DEFROST SYSTEM (OPTIONAL SYSTEM)
The optional defrost system is designed to help
prevent frost build-up in/on the door frame bulb seal
assembly and door panel surfaces, and keep the
seals flexible and pliable in cold temperature
conditions to attain the best seal. A door configured
with a defrost system includes a heat tape circuit and
heat tape strips which are mounted in each bulb seal
section (sides and top).

PLANNED MAINTENANCE—RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE
Heat Tape Circuit
The heat tape circuit is designed to help prevent frost
from building up along the bulb seal sections of the
door assembly that create the seal w/ the door panel.
The heat tape also helps keep the rubber seals
pliable in a cold environment to maintain a tight
barrier between the door panel and the wall.
The heat tape circuit consists of two self-regulating
heat tapes (1 Long and 1 Short) that are installed
around the door opening. The heat tapes pass
through the door bulb seals that line the door jamb
and header surrounding the door opening. Each tape
runs along the entire vertical length of its respective
jamb frame and across the header frame. From a
hole in the bulb seal foam end block, each tape is
routed to a junction box located below the head
assembly. (See Figure 12)
Figure 12
When this self-regulating circuit is powered up, the
exposed lengths of heat tape running from the
header seal to the junction box will be warm to the
touch.
DOOR PANEL SEALING SYSTEM
The door is equipped with a sealing system which
provides insulation and prevents air infiltration
between the 2 sides of the wall. It consists of 2 or 3
separate systems working together to provide the
seal depending on the door type. The 1st is the door
panel(s) mating and pressing up against a bulb seal
assembly that is mounted on the door wall sides and
top jamb. The 2nd is the bottom door panel sweep
seals that are mounted to each door panel and form
a seal between the floor and panel. The 3rd is the
leading edge mating seals that are mounted to each
Bi-Parting panel leading edge and form a seal
between the panels when the door is closed. To
adjust the door panel seals, follow the procedures in
the Adjustments section.
PLANNED MAINTENANCE
RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE
NOTE: The following maintenance schedule is
recommended. (See Table 1)

Figure 13
Figure 14
Door Retention Inspection
Move the door to the fully closed position and then
verify that each door panel is properly positioned to
the respective door panel. Excessive pressure on the
door panel from the stay rollers can cause door
malfunction and premature wear of the gasket
system while not enough allows air infiltration,
increasing energy use.
Refer to “DOOR PANEL RETENTION SYSTEM” on
page 4 for additional information on the retention
system. See “DOOR RETENTION/ STAY ROLLER-
DOOR BULB SEAL ADJUSTMENT” on page 15 for
adjustment procedures. (See Figures 15 and 16)
Figure 15
Figure 16
Door Operation Inspection
Run the door through four or five full open/close
cycles to make sure it is operating smoothly and
efficiently. There should be no binding or unusual
noises as the door travels across the head assembly.
Also, as the door opens and closes, verify that the
panels remain in contact with the door retention
system and seal properly.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT continue to operate the
door if it is not running properly.
This could further complicate any
problem.

Door Retention Inspection
1. Check all mounting hardware associated with the
stay roller door retention system. Check that it is
properly placed. Impact from forklifts, hand
trucks, or other machinery can degrade the
ability of the door system to seal.
2. Tighten and replace any loose or missing
hardware as necessary. (See Figure 21.)
Figure 21
3. Place the door in the fully closed position.
4. With the stay roller resting on the door panel
closure wedge, the bulb seal should be
depressed ¹/₄-¹/2inch.
5. As the door opens, the gap at the door bottom
will increase but stay relatively constant at the
top. With the door panel held against the stay
roller, the gap along the entire remaining length
of the bulb seal should remain relatively constant
but increase slightly more as the door opens.
The trolley tracks in the head assembly are
designed to move the door panel up and away
from the bulb seal as it opens.
6. If the door does not meet the above
requirements, refer to “DOOR RETENTION/
STAY ROLLER-DOOR BULB SEAL

PLANNED MAINTENANCE—QUARTERLY INSPECTION
Drive Chain Inspection
1. Move the door to the fully closed position.
2. Remove power to the control panel by placing
the fused disconnect in the OFF position.
The disconnect must be in the OFF position and
properly locked and tagged before performing the
followingprocedure.
The drive chain, motor drive gear, and all
idler gears must be lubricated according to
the Drive Chain Lubrication section on
page 10.
3. Gain access to head assembly and drive chain.
4. Inspect the drive chain. Check that the chain is
routed properly through the head assembly. The
chain should not be cracked, worn, too loose, or
damaged. Also check for any damaged or
missing links/connectors. Replace any drive
chain parts as necessary. (See Figure 22 and
Figure 23.)
Figure 22
5. With the door in the fully closed position, check
the tension of the drive chain by measuring the
offset of the chain tensioner banana guide. A
properly tensioned chain will have a slight
amount of deflection at its midpoint and the
deflection of the banana guide when the drive
chain is installed on it must be ¼ inch. The chain
should be taught but not tight. (See Figure 24)
6. Inspect the hardware that secures the drive
motor, drive gear, idlers, and tensioners to the
head assembly. Tighten or replace any loose,
missing, or damaged hardware.
Figure 23
Figure 24
IMPORTANT: Excessive chain tension can result
in accelerated chain wear.
Inadequate tension can cause the
drive pulley to jump a tooth on the
chain, jump off completely, and/or
excessive chain wear, and may
result in possible damage to the
chain and/or door.
To adjust the tension of the drive belt, see
“DRIVE CHAIN ADJUSTMENT” on page 14.
Trolley Assembly Inspection
The trolley assembly is installed on the head
assembly and tracks preset for each specific door
assembly at the factory. No adjustment is required.
1. Move the door to the fully closed position. Then
remove power to the control panel by placing the
fused disconnect in the OFF position.
The disconnect must be in the OFF position and
properly locked and tagged before performing the
followingprocedure.
2. Inspect the door swivel hangers securing the
door panel(s) to each trolley for loose or missing
hardware. The hardware clamping the plate to
the door must be in place and tightly secured.

any loose or missing hardware. Tighten or
replace hardware as required. (See Figure 26)
Figure 26
Do not use a petroleum-based solvent or
abrasive cleaner to clean the rollers or track
they travel along, otherwise, damage/
premature wear to the rollers could result.
4. Clean all dirt and grit from the track using an all-
purpose household cleaner and a clean, soft
cloth.
Also clean all dirt and grit from the surface and
sides of each track roller to ensure they travel
smoothly. There are four roller wheels on the
trolley assembly at each end of each door panel.
NOTE: When cleaning the track and rollers, it may
be necessary for you to reposition the door
to gain access to the entire surface of the
track and all sides of each roller.
5. While manually moving the door back and forth
along the track, observe the bearings as each
roller travels along the track. The bearings
should allow the rollers to travel smoothly and
effortlessly without noise or binding.
6. If the trolley rollers are making noise or do not
move freely, inspect each roller assembly after
removing them from the head assembly. Be sure
the snap rings securing the rollers are all in
place. Verify that each wheel on the rollers are
not cracked, worn, or damaged. Clean or replace
roller assemblies as necessary.
Lubrication
1. Move the door to the fully closed position. Then
remove power to the control panel by placing the
fused disconnect in the OFF position.
The disconnect must be in the OFF position and
properly locked and tagged before performing the
followingprocedure.
2. Lubricate the following items as required:
a. Gearbox: The motor gearbox is filled with
synthetic oil, which does not need to be
changed but should be checked regularly for
proper oil level. The level can be checked at
the plug located on the lower section of the
gearbox.
Recommended oil for refill is as follows:
Mobil SHC 630 Synthetic Gear Oil
Fill the gearbox by removing the breather
toward the top of the gearbox and add oil
through the exposed hole. Add oil until it
starts draining from the check plug hole.
(See Figure 27)
Figure 27
b. Drive Chain: RYTEC recommends
lubrication of the drive chain, drive chain gear,
idler gear(s), and sprockets with high quality
heavy lubricating chain oil every six months.
RYTEC also recommends that the chain be
visually inspected for wear and proper tension
at the same interval.
Electric Brake Inspection
The motor brake assembly is designed to stop the
door panel travel at the locations indicated in the limit
inspection section. Check that the brake is operating
properly. If the limits are set properly and the door
drifts past the set limits or isn’t holding the door
securely, etc., adjust the brake.
If adjustment to the motor brake is necessary, see
“MOTOR BRAKE ADJUSTMENT” on page 19.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE—QUARTERLY INSPECTION
Insulated Door Panel and Door Seal Inspection
Door panels and bulb seals should be regularly
checked for ice buildup, damage, and wear. Ice
buildup in and around the bulb seal gaskets and door
path can impede the door seal and performance,
cause erratic operation, potentially damage
mechanical systems, allow air infiltration, and
increase energy use. Bulb seals should last 36-48
months with proper stay roller pressure/adjustment.
A repair kit is available for rips or tears to the
thermoplastic exoskeleton of the door panel.
1. Move the door to the fully closed position.
IMPORTANT: Operate the door with the drive
motor to ensure the panels and
seals are positioned and com-
pressed as in normal use.
2. Remove power to the control panel by placing
the fused disconnect in the OFF position.
The disconnect must be in the OFF position and
properly locked and tagged before performing the
followingprocedure.
3. Release the door panel(s) from the drive chain
with the chain release assembly to allow manual
movement of the panel(s) for inspection.
4. Inspect the hardware used to attach each panel
to its respective trolleys and both sides of each
door panel for loose, worn, missing, and
damaged items.
Replace or repair any missing, worn, or damaged
hardware, components, or seals. (See Figure 25,
26, and 28)
5. Inspect the end seal around the perimeter of
each panel. The end seals must be securely
adhered to the panels, not cracked or damaged.
Repair as necessary. (See Figure 28)
Figure 28
6. Inspect the floor sweep along the bottom edge of
each door panel. The cover should not be frayed,
torn, or loose. Replace or adjust as necessary.
Figure 29
7. Make sure a short foam block is installed in the
end of each top panel bulb seal. Replace any
block if it’s missing, torn, or damaged. (See
Figure 29)
8. Manually move the door to the fully open
position.
9. Inspect the bulb seals along the back side of
each panel. The seals should not be worn, torn
or damaged. Replace as necessary. (See Figure
30)
Figure 30
10. Check the floor sweep seal along the bottom
edge of each panel. Because there is a sweep
around each panel face, you will need to use
your fingers to verify the seal along the floor on
both sides of the panel. The seal below the door
panel should be a full seal with the floor and no
gaps along the entire width of the panel.
Floor sweep seals are normal wear items and will
need to be replaced approximately every two
years, depending on usage and local
environment. Replace as necessary.
If an adjustment to any floor sweep seal is
necessary, see “DOOR PANEL FLOOR SWEEP
SEAL ADJUSTMENT” on page 17 for adjustment
procedures.
11. Verify that there is a tight seal between the bulb
seals and the back side of each door panel. The
door panels should depress the bulb seals
between ¼” – ½”.
