Please read these safety instructions carefully for your own
safety and the safety of others!
Your Seip TS door operator is up to the latest safety standards and
provides a high level of safety in use. Following the instructions on
this page will ensure a long term, trouble free operation.
- A garage door operator is not a toy - do not allow children
to play with it. Keep the hand-transmitter out of reach of
children!
- Only use the hand-transmitter when you can see the gara-
ge door! If the garage door cannot be seen, you could acciden-
tally close the door whilst a car or person is passing by!
- When stowing the hand-transmitter please take care that
it is not activated accidentally! Be aware that the buttons
could be hit inadvertently and always stow the hand-transmitter
with its buttons facing upwards.
- Whilst entering the garage, store the hand-transmitter
safely so that nobody can activate the operator - intentio-
nally or accidentally! Your garage door may be above your cars
roof and you may not be aware that the door has started moving.
- Always watch the moving door and keep persons away
until the garage door is either completely opened or closed!
- Do not leave any obstacles in the garage doors operating
range! Obstacles such as bicycles left momentarily could be
damaged when the operator is activated by another user!
- The emergency release must be used with care when the
garage door is opened - the door might fall down if the
springs are broken! Before using the emergency release on an
opened door your must ensure that neither persons nor obstacles
are within the doors moving range.
- Check the installation regularly for damages.
- Check the automatic reversion monthly using a 40 mm
high obstacle. Check the function every time adjustments or
changes are made to the garage door.
- Should problems occur with your remote-control then ple-
ase contact your dealer. Repairs should only be carried out
by an authorised dealer.
- The light bulb may be exchanged by taking off the ope-
rators‘ front cover. Please unplug the power cord before
taking off the front cover!
- The remaining parts of the operator may only be opened
by authorised personnel!
Important Safety Instructions for the Users

Devices
There are different devices available to activate your operator.
Standard Equipment:
- MIDI hand transmitter (4-channel)
- Wall push button
Optional Extra:
- Key switch
- MINI hand transmitter (2-channel)
- Code Lock
- other devices (for example special entry systems)
The devices may be used alongside each other.
Usage
The operator follows the principle OPEN-STOP-CLOSE. This princi-
ple is valid for any device.
Starting from closing position of the door this means:
First impulse: the door opens
Second impulse: the door stops
Third impulse: the door closes
Fourth impulse: the door stops
Fifth impulse: the door opens
and so on.
Usually it will not be necessary to stop the operator during opera-
tion - unless you realise there is an unexpected obstacle within the
doors range.
Please also refer to the Safety Instructions on page 2.
The operator registers an obstacle by touching it - the garage
door hits the obstacle and reverses to set the obstacle free again.
Dependant on the make of the garage door slight damages might
occur on obstacles - a cars paintwork might become scratched.
With an additional security device like a photocell (optional extra)
the operator will stop as soon as an obstacle is recognised by the
photocell. Should the door be in the opening position the opera-
tor will only close the door once the obstacle has been removed
from the photocells range. With such a device contact between
the garage door and any obstacle is usually avoided.

Basics
As a standard the operator is equipped with a 433 MHz AM
remote control set. The coding is done via rolling code - the code
is changed after each impulse; receiver and transmitter agree com-
pletely automatic about the next code to be used. New codes will
be chosen out of a pool of billions of possible codes.
Your operator is equipped with our standard remote control set
when you hand transmitters looks like the one shown on the right
hand side. The 4-channel MIDI transmitter is standard equipment,
the 2-channel MINI transmitter is available as an optional.
If your operator is equipped with another remote control set,
please refer to the manufacturers instructions for programming.
Programming Transmitter and Receiver
To use a hand transmitter it must rst be registered (programmed)
by the receiver. Only one hand transmitter button can be used for
one receiver.
Registering the rst hand transmitter
The rst hand transmitter (e.g. no hand transmitter has been
registered for the receiver, yet) must be learned directly via the
operators‘ main electronic:
1. Press the LERN/LEARN button on the main electronic for approx.
3 seconds until the operator’s light starts blinking and release the
LERN/LEARN button.
2. Press the hand transmitter button you want to register to the
receiver - the operators’ light stops blinking when the transmit-
ters’ signal was received. The transmitter is now registered.
Registering additional hand transmitters
When at least one hand transmitter has been registered by the
receiver you may program additional hand transmitters from a
distance:
1. The garage door must be closed
2. Open the garage door approx. 50 cm and close it again.
3. After the garage door is closed you have got 10 seconds to
press the buttons 1+2 simultaneously on the registered hand
transmitter - the operator’s light then starts blinking.
4. The light will keep blinking for another 10 seconds - during that
period of time you must press the button on the new hand trans-
mitter which you want to use with the operator. Once the new
transmitter is registered the operator’s light stops blinking.
The procedure must be repeated for each new hand transmitter.
Clearing the receivers‘ memory
Keep the LERN/LEARN button pressed for approx. 15 sec.. The
operators‘ light and the red LED „Diag“ will start blinking after 3
seconds. After another 10 seconds the red LED „DIAG“ will glow
constantly. You can then release the LERN/LEARN button.
All previousely programmed hand transmitters are now
cleared from the receivers‘ memory.

Using the remote-control
To reduce the power consumption the remote-receiver is being
switched on and off in short intervalls when the operator is in
stand-by mode.
Therefore the hand transmitters button must be
kept pressed for approx. 3 seconds to make sure,
that the signal is recognized by the receiver.
As long as the operators lighting is switched on, the receiver is
activated permanently. During this time even shorter signals from
the hand transmitter are recognizes immediately.
Criterias inuencing the range
The TS operators are equipped with a high quality remote
control set as a standard!
Nevertheless the remote control is the part of the operator which
might be inuenced by circumstances in the surroundings of the
garage. With our standard remote control you might reach a
range of more than 100 meters. In areas with high disturbancies
the range will still be approx. 50 meters.
The range might be inuenced by:
- old batteries in the hand transmitter - if you should experience
a problem with the range, please change the batteries rst. The
lower the batteries run the lower the range will be.
- Building materials of the garage
In a garage made of concrete and steel you might reach a lower
range than in an ordinary garage build of stone. The more steel
was used for the walls the shorter the range of your remote-con-
trol.
-Remote-control activity in the area
-Radio and television transmitters close to your garage might
reduce the range.
-Older baby-phones
Especially older baby-phones might inuence the range of the
remote control severely. These devices send strong signals via the
houses internal power supply net. These signals also intrude other
devices via the wall plug, as eg the operator.
It is extreemely unlikely that the range will drop to an unaccept-
able distance. If, however, problems should occure we will like to
be helpful.
Use with a HomeLink© System
The HomeLink© System is becoming more and more popular in private
households. Most frequently it is being used in cars - the HomeLink©
module is integrated in the car. It allows the driver to activate the door
operator with a push of button which is installed in his car. Once pro-
grammed, the driver does not need the hand transmitter to access the
garage with his car.
The standard remote control supplied with the TS-series is
compatible with HomeLink© systems from Software Revision 6 or
higher. Older Software Revisions are not supported. Information on the
Software Revision in your car can be obtained from the cars documenta-
tions.
Information on how to program your HomeLink© device can either
be obtained from your cars documentations or from the internet site
www.eurohomelink.com.
Please avoid to drop the hand transmitter - parts could
be damaged inside the transmitter. That might lead to
malfunctions!

Most occuring problems are not necessarily caused by the operator but by
the garage door.
Your TS-operator is equipped with an automatic force measurement. Dur-
ing the installation the operator memorises how much force it needs to
open and close your garage door.
Changes to the door weight caused by the weather (the door might go
out of alignment slightly due to hot or cold weather conditions) will not
affect the operation of your door operator.
The operator will also adjust itself to the normal and slow changes of your
garage doors‘ performance caused by ageing.
In contrast, rapid changes to the weight of the garage door will be recog-
nised by the operator - the operator will then behave as if it had registered
an obstacle. In CLOSING directionthis means that the operator stops and
reverses into opening direction to release a supposed obstacle.
In OPENING direction it means that the operator will stop and reverse a
few centimetres into closing direction to release a supposed obstacle. Dur-
ing the soft-stop period in CLOSING direction the operator will reverse for
a few centimetres - the door will always remain open a few centimetres.
Rapid changes normally occur when:
- a spring of your garage door is broken; especially when the springs are
covered by protectors you might not recognize the damage
- mechanical damages to the garage door happened (e.g. by hitting the
door with a car)
- a new surface was attached to the garage door or the whole door was
exchanged (e.g. an increase of the doors‘ weight)
In all of these cases the garage door needs to be maintained - please
contact your dealer.
When the operators‘ light is blinking
The operator is also equipped with an error system - if an error should
occur then the operators‘ light will start blinking when you try to activate
it. The blinking light refers to errors caused by external devices - the fol-
lowing steps only need to be followed if any of the devices mentioned are
connected to your operator:
- check all security devices connected to your operator (photocell, security
beam or hatch door switch)
- check, that all obstacles are removed from the photo cells‘ range of
observation
- check if there is dirt on photo cell; clean if necessary
- check if the hatch door is closed
If the operators‘ light is still blinking after checking all devices then please
contact your dealer. The dealer will also nd it helpful if you counted the
number of blinks given by the operators‘ light - it may give a hint concern-
ing the problem.
In case of a power failure
You can disconnect your garage door from the operator using the emer-
gency release. The emergency release is tted to your operator in either
way shown on the diagrams on the right.
If your garage door is the only entrance to your garage then you can
disconnect the operator by using your garage doors lock and handle.
Unlock the door and turn the handle - the operator will be disconnected
automatically and you can open your door by hand.
If you have got a seperate entrance to your garage then you can enter
your garage and pull the cord hanging down in front of your garage door.
The operator will be disconnected and the door can be opened by hand.
ATTENTION: It might be dangerous disconnecting the operator from
an open garage door. If the doors‘ springs are damaged or the door
is not well balanced then it might drop down - there is a high risk
of injuries and damages!
If, however, you cannot avoid disconnecting the operator from an open
garage door then you must make sure that there is no one within the
range of the garage door before using the emergency release!

Messages from LED-lamps and operators lighting
The TS Solar/TS Akku is equipped with an automatic diagnostic
system which provides information via the external LED-lamps.
These messages are:
Status Messages
In intervalls of 10 seconds the yellow and green LED-lamps give
information about the battery status and if the battery is being
rechared or not.

a restricted number of runs. When this state is reached, the
operators light will be blinking during the run.
2 or 3 blinks
The battery is full and provides sufcient voltage to run the
operator.
Error Messages
Error Messages are provided by the red LED lamp „Diag“ on the
electronics together with the red LED lamp on the outside of the
housing. With some of the messages the operators lighting will be
blinking simultaneousely.
Messages from the red LED-lamp and the
operators lighting

IMPORTANT ADVISE!
Once the battery has reached a critical discharge level, the
operators light will start blinking during operation; if it is
discharged further, the light will switch off.
Dependant on the usage of battery capacity (door size
and weight) the operation might be stopped during an
opening or closing procedure!
The operator can be used again, once the battery was
recharged (from the net or solar panel). The electronics
will then enable the operator for use automatically when
the battery has reached a sufcient charging level. Until
that point of time, the door needs to be operated
manually (please refer to chapter „Emergency Release“).

TS Solar: Using the Solar Panel
The cells on the solar panels are connected serially. The total
output of the panel is determined by the cell providing the lowest
output.
This means, that if only one cell is covered by snow, frost,
leafes or shade, that the complete output of the panel may
be zero!
Dependant on the remaining batteries capacity it is recommended
to quickly remove any obstacle from the solar panel.
If the obstacle is only to remain for a few hours, then there is no
need for instant action (e.g. snowfall in the morning where the
snow will be melted away in the afternoon).
It should be avoided, that the solar panel cannot produce any out-
put for two or more days. Though a full batteries capacitiy will last
for approx. 20 days without recharging (please refer to chapter
„Technical Data - max. running cycles“) the battery will have run
at by then. The operator will then switch off until the batterie is
recharged. Especially in winter with only little daily sunlight, the
recharging procedure for a at batterie might take 3 to 6 days,
when being dependant on the solar panel only.
Whether the solar panel is producing any power for recharging
the battery can be seen at the yellow LED-lamp, which is visible on
the outside of the operators housing.
TS Solar: Power Cord
As a serial standard the TS-Solar is shipped with a power cord.
If required, the power cord can be used for quicker recharging
of the battery using a 230V power-supply (if, however, 230V are
available by means of an extension cable).
Whilst the solar panel can only recharge the battery during
approx. 5 hours of usable sunlight in wintertimes, the recharging
from a 230V source can be made 24 hours a day. (e.g. about ve
times quicker).
When using the TS-Solar sensibly (2 to 3 openings a day),
the power cord should not be needed!
Attention! If the battery is damaged, then the operator will
not work with 230V either! The power cord is only supposed
to recharge the battery; it is not possible to run the operator
directly from 230V!
