USER MANUAL 1703 CHAMBERLAIN

Before you begin, please read this entire instruction manual. For use only with one-piece canopy and dual track doors as illustrated. Do not use this door arm with sectional doors, fully retractable doors or canopy doors with jamb hardware. Review all safety warnings on Page one of your garage door operator owner’s manual. Ensure that the door and all its operating gear is in good condition and works easily when it is manually operated. Balance Test Lift the door about halfway. Release the door. It should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking. If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call a professional garage door service engineer. Lubricate all garage door working parts before installing the door arm. Ensure that the timber or metal garage door frame on both sides and above the door is in good and sound condition and is securely fixed to the main structure of the garage. If there is any doubt, consult a professional garage door installer. (See the Yellow Pages under Garage Doors) Do not run the operator until installation is complete. Content

If you have an inward facing lintel, which does not allow the header bracket to be fitted directly above the garage door, you should refer to step Garage door with inward protruding lintel. For dual track doors, install the header bracket 50mm (2”) above the high point of door travel as shown in the Owner’s manual. Standard canopy garage doors Canopy doors are normally provided without a frame, for fixing to a timber frame. In this case, ensure header bracket is located as shown below:

If the door has a lip, measure from the top of the door, not the top of the lip. 17 mm41 mm

For pre-hung canopy garage doors For doors either pre-hung in a metal frame or supplied with a metal frame for self-assembly, ensure header bracket is located as shown below:

13en Representative Locking Mechanism

To prevent damage to garage door and operator: Ensure that turning the outside handle will not actuate ANY of the locking mechanisms supplied with the door.

• Remove all door latching mechanisms (Figure 3), and secure any locking bars in the open position.

• Remove inside door handle but leave the barrel in place in door (Figure 4).

• Ensure that turning the outside handle will not actuate ANY of locking mechanism supplied with the door. Failure to do so will result in serious damage to your door and operator. This is not covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty. Door Conditions Check if additional profiles are needed. Adjust length if necessary. Possible overall length with additional profiles: 117cm or 122cm or 127cm or 132 cm. Doorarm and profiles must be tightened properly to the framework.

Note: The door arm should extend about 13mm (1/2”) over the top of the door. If not, check hole positions. The garage door may require additional bracing to provide suitable support. To prevent damage to garage door, do NOT drill through the entire door.en Door Arm Installation

• With a 4.5mm (3/16") bit, drill two holes, 25mm (1") deep. ABC

• Attach the door arm with proper hardware provided (Figure 12). Note: Whenever possible, use the nuts and bolts supplied (A). For metal or metal-braced doors, use self-tapping screws supplied (B). For timber or timber-braced doors, use wood screws supplied (C).

• Before tightening the screws, align the door arm so it is vertical. Use a level to assist. The tighten the screws.

6. Self-trapping screw

Braced Connecting the Extension Arm

1. Select the two bottom holes in the door arm that will allow

the screws to go into a cross bracing support of the door (Figure 13). Door may REQUIRE ADDITIONAL bracing to provide suitable support.

2. Mark and drill two 4.5mm (3/16") holes. Use the proper

screws provided. The centerline of the garage door opener and the centerline of the door arm should match to prevent binding of the arm in operation.

3. Recheck and if not aligned, correct.

4. With the door fully closed, slide outer trolley (with extension

arm connected), against door arm. Line up the extension arm and insert into slot in door arm (Figure 14). Note: Do not move the door arm to meet the extension arm— move the extension arm to meet the angle of the door arm.

5. Insert the two mounting bolts provided into holes as far

apart as possible and tighten (Figure 15).

6. Cut off the shipping cable tie to release the mechanism

10. Door Arm must be

arm must be mounted in a different way.

2. Cut down the door arm supplied with your garage door operner (275mm).

3. Mount the cut down door arm to the trolley as shown. Do not use the slotted arm supplied with the Chamberlain

4. Take the curved door arm supplied with the Garage Door Opener and fit all as shown together. If you disconnect

the trolley you can move it easily in any position for the installation. Use M8 screws with lock nuts (not supplied).

5. Tighten the screws fully and back them off again 1/2 turn.

Open the garage door slowly and carefully by hand. Watch the movement of the door arm. If the Chamberlain Door Arm hits the rail before the garage door is fully open, the angle of the arms must change. Close the garage door and use another hole to change the angle of the system. Try again until the Chamberlain Door Arm does not hit the rail anymore. In some cases raising the operator head is quicker. max.225 mm275 mmen Initial Operation: The Chamberlain Arm™ has been designed so that, when used with a Chamberlain manufactured operator, the door will open to a fully horizontal position (Figure 16). Caution: Not suitable for models ML500, HE60, GPD60, GPD65!! Note: The door may be designed in such a way that it does not open to the full horizontal. Adjust the UP limit so that the door stops at a slightly downward angle when open. Note: Safety reversing sensors (Protector System) must be installed, please refer to your owner´s manual before proceeding to Setting the limits and learning the force: Setting the limits and learning the force: When returning to your Owner’s Manual, adjust the trolley travel limits as follows:

1. With the inner and outer trolley sections still disconnected,

manually open your door to the horizontal position. Make a mark on the rail where the end of trolley nearest to the operator stops.

2. Manually close the door and mark the rail where the end of

the trolley nearest the door stops.

3. With the inner and outer trolley sections still disconnected,

activate the operator and adjust the limits following the owners manual of the garage door opener, until the inner trolley stops on the marks you made. Please read section “setting limits manually” as found in the HAVING A PROBLEM section in your owner’s manual. While setting the door limits manually, leave door and operator disconnected at all times.

4. Reconnect the inner and outer trolley sections so the door

is connected to the operator.

5. Force must be learned after completion of the limit settings.

Please read accordant section in Garagedoor Opener Manual.

6. Run the operator again to ensure the door is opening and

closing correctly. Continue with the instructions in your Owner’s Manual.

14. Garage door, should

be horizontal in fully open position

15. Use limit adjustment of

garage door opener to level the garage door PICTURE. 16 Do not attempt to adjust the spring. Call a local garage door installing professional. The Protector System™ (a safety reversing sensor accessory) must be installed, if the Chamberlain Arm is used.

1. Pull the manual release handle to disengage the trolley.

2. Lift the door about halfway. Release the door. It should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.

3. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding or sticking. If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call a professional garage door service engineer.

ISSUE POSSIBLE REMEDIES

Operator moves only in OPEN direction but not in CLOSE direction Operator doesn’t fully open the door to the marked position. It stops and reverses. Operator doesn’t fully open the door to the marked position. It stops but doesn’t reverse. The connection arm can’t be installed between door and operator. Door can be opened with the operator but cannot be closed from the open position. The operator moves a little (appr. 1 sec) and then reverses. The door touches the rail

• The travel distance hasn’t been programmed at all or hasn’t been programmed properly. Only possible when installed for the first time.

• Some models will only close the door, if photocells are connected. In this case photocells are included.

• Release operator and check if it closes. If so, do the force adjustment

• The marked position is too close to the operator. Because of the operator this position can’t be used. Some doors can’t be opened to the full horizontal position. Readjust travel distance (shorter).

• The force adjustment hasn’t been programmed properly and the operator moves inefficiently.

• Doorarm must be fully extended shortly before reaching its final position. If it’s not, check the distance between rail and door.

• Door is too heavy or insufficiently balanced in OPEN direction. Rebalance door (call a trained technician or have it repaired) Grease track rollers and hinges.

• Travel distance too short. Readjust!

• Doorarm screws were not tightened.

• Is the operator properly installed (just above the door) ?

• Is the doorarm properly installed?

• Doorarm must be fully retracted when the door is closed.

• Operator reverses because the adjusted force is lower than the required force. Readjust force. Test: Standing in front of the door you can „help“ the door to move from the open position by pulling at the door for the first 50cm. This confirms that the adjusted force was too low.

• The door has passed over the horizontal position and is facing upwards. In this case readjust travel distance (shorter).

• If the operator will close the door during the force learning but doesn’t close the door later on, this is due to a bumpy not smooth running door.

• A: Readjust travel distance. Do not open door too far.

• B: The spring pulls the door upwards strongly and therefore the door is unbalanced. The operator now requires too much force in order to move the door down. Diminish (readjust) tension of door spring.

• C: Rail vibrates due to high force. A spacer (e.g. a piece of wood) between ceiling and rail avoids vibrating and bending of the rail.

• The remedies mentioned may occur combined.

• If the door functions properly and is well balanced then also the operator will function properly. In rare installations, the canopy door may touch the operator rail when closing. This is NOT the fault of the operator or arm. If this occurs:

1. Manually check the operation of the canopy door to ensure that it is closing easily. The

door must have a slight drop at the start of closing.

2. If the door is not running easily, check that the side wires are not catching or binding on the

wire guides. Move the guides until the wires run free.

3. Raise the operator head by about 50mm (2”) vertically so there is a slight downward angle

4. The door spring may be over tensioned.it
