CHAIN SHUTTLE ASSEMBLY
For ease of installation the Smart Lifter is delivered with
the chain and chain index already assembled in the track.
If you need to assemble it yourself connect the chain
index to the chain refer (Fig. 3). Tighten screw (C) (Fig. 4
B) until the chain is reasonably tight. Do not over tighten,
but do not leave it too slack.
SHORTENING THE TRACK
The track is designed to be cut to size only if and when
required. This should only be done when space is at
a premium due to a lintel or some other obstruction.
Cut the track down to the desired size from the bracket
end only (not from the power head end). Remove the
appropriate amount of chain links with a chain breaker.
Reinstall chain in track and connect chain index as per
(Fig. 3) above. Tighten screw (c) (Fig. 4b) until the chain
is reasonably tight. Do not overtighten but do not leave it
too slack.

Installation
2.1) Insert shuttle into track by locating the cut out in
the bottom of the track at the powerhead end of the
track. It is important that the allen key bolt where
the arm connects onto the shuttle is facing the door.
Do not install it the wrong way round.
2.2) Move shuttle to half way along the rail section, grease
the chain and sprocket with a lithium type grease or
equivalent. Do not use oil based lubricants.
2.3) Place track onto powerhead so that the track
slides into spline shaft. Position the brackets (E)
on the studs and secure in place using ni-lock nuts
supplied. Lock the brackets to the rail by tightening
the ni-lock nuts. Do not over tighten the nuts.
2.4) Remove excess chain slack by tightening the chain
tightening screw (C) in (Fig. 4b) in a clockwise
direction (when viewed from the power head end of
the rail). Do not over tighten the chain, just enough
to remove the slack.
2.5) Fix the Smart Lifter opener to the lintel or to the
ceiling with the correct xing (Fig. 5), maintaining
a minimum gap of 30mm from the top panel’s
maximum height (Fig. 6). Check measurements
before drilling.
2.6) Insert the bolts supplied into the cutouts on both
sides of track at powerhead end. Slide bolts on
track to the correct hanging location to pick up
noggins or xing points. Place non ni-lock nuts onto
the bolt (ref Fig. 4c) and tighten. Place bracket (F)
onto bolt so that it sits against the nut and secure
with ni-lock nut supplied - do not over tighten.
Smart Openers recommend the tting of all four
straps on every installation.
2.7) Fix the Smart Lifter opener to the ceiling with
appropriate fasteners (Fig.7). Cut off any xing
strap excess.
Warning: Make sure the opener is afxed to noggins
in ceiling and not just to plasterboard. Failure to have
a safe and secure xing will lead to opener falling
causing serious personal and /or property damage.
Note: A set of xing straps should be located in the
centre of the aluminium rail to prevent rail ex that will
result in phantom reversing.

Terminals and Connections
Programming the Unit
The system must be checked and tested when
connections are completed.
4.1) Check that the chain support is halfway so that
movement is problem free both in opening and
closing.
Make sure that all the standards relative to the
automatic gates and doors category have been
observed.
4.2) Now carry out a test with the door disconnected
from the motor and open and close the door to
verify that the mechanical parts are all in good
working order and the door does not bind or jamb
in its tracks.
4.3) Power the unit. As soon as the unit is powered the
system displays a 7-segment LED number from
0-9, and the lamp will turn on for 2 seconds.
If the LED display is upside-down, press the SET
button once, then the LED will display the number
in the correct direction. The system will remember
the display direction. It will display correctly next
time the power is turned back on.
If this is not the case, switch the power off
immediately and check connections carefully.
4.4) Check that all the safety devices on the unit are
working properly (emergency stop, photo beam,
etc.). This is one of the most important checks and
must be done with great care; in fact, the active
safety of the automatic door depends on the correct
functioning of the safety devices. The reversing
sensitivity device is of great help in minimising
damage but only the correct installation of the
safety devices will make it possible to stop the door
before it can cause any damage or injury to person
and/or property.
4.5) It is now time to set the opening and closed
position.
