Mark fixing holes and drill using 4mm metal drill (max. drilling depth 10mm ) or use the existing drill holes. Screw on attachment using enclosed self-tapping screws 6.3× 16 (4 - 6 screws up-and-over door, 6 screws - iso20).

b For other sectional doors, use telescopic fitting (17) (accessory).

6 Attaching the wall bracket

To ensure that the door can run freely underneath the boom, distance "x" must be greater than 20mm . Choose distance "x" so that the angle of the linking bar does not exceed 45^ (see figure 11).

Mark the door's highest point of travel "a" plus distance "x" on the lintel.

Hold wall fastening (10) at the total height ("a" + "x") vertically over the door connector attachment and mark the fixing holes. Using 10mm masonry drill, drill holes for wall plugs and screw the wall bracket onto the wall.

Disengaging the carriage

To carry out further work, it may be necessary to disconnect the operator from the door by pulling the pull cord on carriage (4) and move the door manually.

Note: If the door is to be operated manually for a longer period of time, then the locking pin must be removed from parking position (a) on the left and with the pull cord in locking position (b).

To relock, return the locking pin into the parking position (a) on the left and restore the connection between the operator and the door. On the next movement, the carriage

13 Aligning the aerial / Connecting plan

Note:

• It is essential to pull out the mains plug before opening the cover!
• Do not connect any live leads, only connect potential-free buttons and potential-free relay outputs.
• Finally, re-place the cover and screw down.
  Before using the operator for the first time, it must be tested to make sure that it is working properly and safely (see section on Maintenance / Checks)).

E-Connecting the aerial On the housing exit, angle the aerial down to the right by approx. 90^ (as illustrated below). If using an external aerial, the screen is to be connected to the adjacent shield terminal (F, right).
F - Connection for external impulse generator (accessory, e. g. key switch or digital coder)
G-Input STOP A Connection for safety devices (accessory, e.g.wicket door contact).A break at this input end causes the operator to stop or prevents it from starting up.
H - Input STOP B Connection for safety devices (accessory, e.g. one-way photocell). A break at this input end causes the operator to automatically change direction during the closing cycle.
I - Voltage supply 24V (e.g. for one-way photocell), connection can take a maximum load of 100mA .
J - Plug-in base for radio receiver
K - Connection for external lighting (with earth) or signal light (protection class II, max. 500W).

Impulse generators and external safety devices

If there is an increased need for personal safety, in addition to the operator's internal force limit we recommend installing a one-way photocell (see connecting plan figure 13 ([I) (H)). Further information on our range of accessories can be found in our sales literature. Consult your specialist dealer.

Dismantling the operator

Operating Instructions

Before carrying out any work to the operator, always pull out the mains plug! All persons using the door system must be shown how to operate it properly and safely:

When the operator is being used, the opening and closing cycles must be monitored.

Keep hand transmitters out of the reach of children.

It must be ensured that neither persons nor objects are located within the door's range of travel.

Functional sequence

The garage door operator can be actuated via impulse generators such as hand transmitters, key switches etc. It is only necessary to give a short, sharp impulse.

Initial impulse:

The operator starts up and causes the door to travel to the set OPEN or CLOSE end-of-travel positions.

Impulse generated whilst the door is moving: the door stops

A new impulse:

the door continues to move but in the opposite direction.

Internal safety device

If the closing door encounters an obstruction, the operator stops and causes the door to open to its top end-of-travel position in order to clear the obstruction.

During the last 2 seconds of the closing cycle, the door only opens slightly, this being sufficient to clear the obstruction but otherwise barring anyone from taking a look into the garage.

If the opening door encounters an obstruction, the operator stops immediately. The door can be closed again by generating a new impulse.

External safety devices

Connecting plan figure 13

An open wicket door stops the operator immediately or stops it from starting up.

Photocell (STOP B)

If the photocell is interrupted whilst the door is closing, the door stops and reverses direction. An interruption whilst the door is opening has not effect.

Quick release

During adjustments, in the event of a power failure or malfunctions the door can be disengaged from the operator by actuating the pull cord on the carriage and then operated manually.

If the door is to be operated manually over a longer period of time, then the existing locking pin must be inserted (see figure 12). The door latches, put out of service for power operation, must be refitted, otherwise the door is not latched in the closed position.

To restore power operation, return the locking pin to the parking position (a) and put the latches put out of service.

After an impulse has been generated, the door automatically latches with the door operator.

Lighting

The lighting switches on automatically whenever a start impulse is generated and switches off again after the set time phase (factory setting approx. 90 seconds).

A second button on the hand transmitter can be programmed for 4-minutes light (figure 16). When the button on the hand transmitter is pressed, the light switches on independent of the motor and switches off again after approx. 4 minutes.

Changing the light bulb:

Pull out the mains plug and open the lamp cover using a Phillips screwdriver size 2x100. Replace the light bulb (230 V, 40 W, base E27) and screw the lamp cover back on.

Signal light

If a signal light for signalling the opening and closing phases is installed, this flashes together with the lamp in the operator as soon as a start impulse is generated. The operator starts with a time-delay in accordance with the set warning phase (see menu stage 7).

Hand transmitter

Programming further hand transmitters: See menu stages 1 and 2 (figure 15 and 16). Changing the battery: Slide back the battery compartment cover on the hand transmitter. Take out the battery. Insert a new battery (alkaline 23A, 12V) and be sure polarity correctly! Slide the cover back on.

Empty batteries must be disposed of separately (toxic waste)!

Maintenance/Checks

For your own safety we recommend that the door system be checked by a specialist after initial installation and then regularly at intervals of 1 year minimum.

Monitoring the force limit

The operator control unit features a 2-processor safety system to monitor the force limit. The integral force cut-out is automatically tested at each end-of-travel position.

The door system must be checked before being put into service and at least once a year thereafter, during the course of which, a check of the force limit facility (figure 21) must also be carried out!

Caution! If the closing force is set too high, persons can be placed at risk of injury.

The opening force can be re-adjusted in menu stage 5, the closing force in menu stage 6.
