1 Safety instructions
In order to avoid accidents, injuries and damage to property, please be sure to adhere to the safety
instructions and act cautiously.
1.1 Correct purpose of use
The Sky- rame Operator (S O) is a constituent of the Sky- rame system. The operator and the system are
exclusively designed and constructed for the intended purpose of use that is described in this document.
Correct purpose of use also includes complying with all of the specifications in this manual. Any other use is
considered to be incorrect.
The Sky- rame system is exclusively intended for installation in a wall opening, and is intended to provide light,
ventilation and access.
One “Sky- rame Operator” consists of one Sky- rame Operator-M (S O-M = Master) and zero up to five
Sky- rame Operator-S (S O-S = Slave).
An Sky- rame Operator is used exclusively for opening and closing sliding panel(s) with a maximum permissible
opening / closing (pull / push) force of 33.7 ft-lb (150 N).
RISK O AULT
Using the equipment incorrectly can lead to dangerous situations.
• The active leaves must never be bent, twisted or subjected to additional loads.
• Do not place objects in the door area between the active leaf and the frame.
• Never slacken screws or remove them from the system.
• Do not allow children to play with the Sky- rame Operator or the regulating and control equipment.
• Keep controls away from children.
Claims of any kind for damage caused by incorrect use will not be entertained.
The Sky- rame Operator may only be used for its intended purpose.
Unauthorised modifications to the Sky- rame Operator or the system will release Sky- rame AG
from any liability for resulting damage.
1.2 Product-specific properties
The Sky- rame Operator is not suitable for use in rescue routes, for fire protection doors

1.3 Entrapment protection
SHEARING POINT!
Crushing, shearing, impact and pull-in hazards can occur on electrically operated systems
(see “1.4 Danger areas”).
Depending on the structural situation, the design version and the protection options,
residual dangers cannot be ruled out.
The following applies to the use of the
Sky
-
Frame Operator
:
Entrapment protection is to be ensured by use of dead man’s switch operation (see also “2.4 Operating
types and operating modes”). Therefore, additional protection for the sliding panels is not strictly
necessary, as long as the wall control switch is installed so that the user have direct sight to the moving
panels while operating them in dead man mode.
The use of safety sensors at the closing edges as additional protection is optional, and is up to the
company carrying out the installation on the basis of an individual risk assessment. This must be taken
into consideration during the planning phase.
Only dead man’s switch operation is permitted.
Only control buttons without a self-retaining function shall be used.
The buttons must be attached in such a way that children cannot play with them (minimum height of 5 feet).
It shall be possible for the user to see and monitor the entire opening width of the system when it is being
operated to open and close.

2 Description of function
General information
The Sky- rame Operator (S O) is an electro-mechanical sliding door operator.
The S O-M (Master) plays a defined part due to the assignment of a specific motor address. In this way, it
can be connected with up to 5 additional S O-S (Slave) via a bus line to form a telescopic system with a
maximum of three sliding panels to the left and three sliding panels to the right (3+3).
One S O-M or S O-S is needed for each active powered sliding panel.
The movement is transmitted using a low-noise toothed belt.
The S O has a self-teaching microprocessor controller that regulates and controls all movements in both
directions.
Definition of standard version:
The S O is supplied in full energy mode in the standard version (see also 1.3). This means that the sliding
panels are only moved electrically in the OPEN or CLOSED direction for as long as the relevant operating
button is pressed (see also “2.4 Operating types and operating modes”).
The opening and closing speed is dependent on the weight of the leaf, but can be adjusted by a trained
Sky- rame engineer using the “Sky-Impulse” service software.
2.1 Start-up
The initial start-up must be carried out by a trained Sky- rame engineer.
A teach-in run must be carried out (see also “9.2 Teach-in run”) in accordance with these installation
instructions.
If the supply voltage of the drive is switched in, the initialisation and addressing of the drive(s) starts.
The status LED on the button interface illuminates in red until this is complete. The door can be pushed
open or closed by hand at any time.
After a teach-in run, the status LED goes off and the drive is ready for operation.

www.sky-frame.com
07.12.2016 13.4.1.12
2.2 Performance ranges
ull energy mode (dead man’s switch operation = as-delivered status)
In this mode, the sliding panel only moves for as long as the control button is pressed. If the control button is
released, the movement of the panel(s) stops. This makes it possible to move to any opening position. The
entire system must be visible from the control button. The operator of the system must ensure that no
persons or objects are in the closing area of the system when it is being operated.
2.3 Operating types and operating modes
Dead man’s switch operation (hold-to-run) is the standard version (full energy mode) for the SI-1000 drive.
 Dead man’s switch: The drive only moves for as long as the relevant button is pressed.
 O : The drive is switched off. The sliding panel can be moved manually.
RISK O AULT
• Only control buttons without a self-retaining function shall be used
(see also “8.3 Control buttons”).
• The buttons must be attached in such a way that children cannot play with them.
• It must be possible for the user to see the entire opening width of the system when the door
is being opened and closed.
Movement modes during dead man’s switch operation:
• Gathering mode (standard)
The sliding panels move together and reach their respective end points one after the other.
• Telescope mode (optional)
The sliding panels move telescopically and always reach the end points together.
Programmable functions
The deadbolt contact R1 at the button interface (contact 8 / 9) has no function as standard. However, it can
be activated using the “Sky-Impulse” service software to take over the following functions:
• Inhibit function
If this option is selected all control button commands are ignored, provided that contact R1 (8/9) on the
button interface is not closed (contact type NC “normally close”).
• Locking function
If this option is selected the drives are blocked, provided that contact R1 (8/9) on the button interface is
not closed (contact type NC “normally close”).

2.4 unctions in dead man’s switch operating mode
Sky- rame systems with a Sky- rame Operator can be operated as follows.
Opening the door by hand
Manual operation also remains possible in the event of a power failure
(see also document “User Manual: Power-operated sliding doors”).
Opening the sliding door manually:
1. Slide locking handle upwards (arrow) and hold in this position.
-> The sliding door is unlocked.
2. Ensure that no living beings or objects are in the door area.
3. Open sliding panel slowly (arrow).
Closing the sliding door manually:
1. To close the sliding door manually, slide it as far as it will go and slide the locking handle downwards
manually to lock.
2. Ensure that the sliding door is locked.

www.sky-frame.com
07.12.2016 13.4.1.14
Opening and closing the system using the OPEN / CLOSE button
• A double click of the OPEN button (two quick successive pushes + hold) opens the IRST front panels of
the system (A).
• A continuous push of the CLOSE button closes the ENTIRE system (B + A).
• If the relevant button is released, the movement stops.
• An OPEN button and a CLOSE button are required to operate the system.
OPENING CLOSING

07.12.2016 13.4.1.15
2.5 Safety functions
The static force is limited in full energy mode.
A maximum of 150 N (15 kg / 33 lbs) is reached during the opening and closing run.
Sky- rame Operator is subject to the following directives:
• UL 325
Sky- rame Operator has been checked for continuous operation up to 20,000 opening cycles and has a power
shut-off (without slip).
Opening run
If the sliding panel encounters an obstruction during the opening run, the sliding panel stops until the button is
released and pushed again.
Closing run
If the sliding panel encounters an obstruction during the closing run, the sliding panel stops until the button is
released and pushed again.
2.6 Mains power failure
In the event of a power failure, the door can be opened and closed manually (see “2.4 unctions”).
In this case, the door must be guided (held) by hand over the entire travel distance.
When the power is restored, a complete reference run (see “9. Teaching the system”) is carried out after the
first push of a control button. When the reference run has been successfully completed, the system remains in
the open position. Afterwards, the system switches back to normal operation mode and can be operated with
the buttons normally again.
RISK O AULT
The door must not be obstructed during the reference run. If the reference run is interrupted, it must be
repeated.
