1.1 Implementation of fastenings

Measure the distance "D" between the highest point of the door and the ceiling.

Case 1: Drive against ceiling

If "D" is between 35 and 200mm secure the assembly directly to the ceiling.

35 < D < 200

i

Case 2: Drive not against ceiling

When installing, centre the assembly in relation to the garage door.

If "D" is greater than 200 mm, secure the assembly so that the height "H"* is between 10 and 200 mm.

* H = distance between the bottom of the rail and the highest point of the door.

D>200

i

When installing, centre the assembly in relation to the garage door.

To facilitate taking dimensions on the lintel; once "D" has been measured, determine "H" by subtracting 10 from 200mm from "D". Then mark this value on the lintel from the ceiling. The mark indicates the lower position of the lintel bracket.

Fastening the lintel and door brackets

Case 1: Drive against ceiling

• Centre the lintel bracket in relation to the garage door.
• The bracket can be fastened either to the lintel or directly to the ceiling.

• Centre the door bracket in relation to the top of the door.
• Attach the bracket.

Case 2: Drive not against ceiling

1.2 Assembly

Assembling the rail in 3 sections

Check that the belt inside of the rail is not twisted.

• Fit the belt into the rail.
• Assemble the motor head mounting end piece to the rail.

• Fit the third section end piece to the second section.
• Assemble the lintel bracket end piece on the rail.

• Align the third section with the two other sections, then assemble using a sleeve.
• Align the sleeve to the join of the sections.
  Tighten the sleeves to the rail using screws WITHOUT DRILLING THE RAIL.

The mounting screws must not drill the rail. The body of the screw must remain visible.

• Move the carriage in the middle of the rail.

Assembling the rail to the motor head

1

• Insert the motor shaft into the rail pinion, then mount the assembly using engine head screws

3.3 Obstacle detection mode

The obstacle detection function operates up to 5cm from the ground. It is intrinsic to the drive and operates without any accessories (photoelectric cells).

1

• When an obstacle is detected during opening, the door will stop.

2

• When an obstacle is detected during closing, the door will stop then open again.

3.4 Integrated lighting operation

• The integrated lighting comes on each time the drive is switched on. When the door stops moving, it goes off automatically after 30 seconds.

Repetitive use will cause the integrated lighting to be lit constantly which may result in the light being switched off automatically due to thermal protection.

3.5 Manual back release mode

The drive is equipped with a manual back release device which makes it possible to manipulate the door manually, for example in the event of an electrical fault. This device must be able to be accessed easily (at a maximum of 1.80 m from the ground).

WARNING

• When releasing the drive, an incorrect balance may result in sudden movements which may be dangerous.
• Only use the cord to release the drive. Never use the cord to manipulate the door manually.
• It is essential that the drive is re-engaged before any new commands.

1

- Release the drive by pulling the cord until the door drive system is released.

- Move the door manually (possible as long as the drive system is disengaged).

- Re-engage the drive by moving the door manually until the drive mechanism re-locks on the transmission rail.

WARNING

The yellow warning sticker concerning the risk of crushing and the description of how to move the door manually must be displayed inside the garage.

3.6 Operation after a power outage

Following a power outage, the drive must recognise its "fully open" position again.

• Open the door fully using a memorised remote control.
• The door will open at a reduced speed.

Allow the door to open to its "fully open" position.

DANGER

Switch the electrical power supply to the drive off before installing any peripheral.

4.1 Connecting the photoelectric cells

The photoelectric cells allow the presence of an obstacle to be detected when opening/closing the door. An obstacle placed between the cells will prevent the door from closing. If an obstacle is detected when the door is closing, the door stops then reopens.

The integrated lighting is activated intermittently for 30 seconds.

i

When positioning the cells, remove the bridge created between terminals "1" and "2" of the motor electronics.

If the cells are disconnected, it is essential to recreate the bridge between terminals "1" and "2".

4.2 Connecting the flashing light

The flashing light is activated whenever the door moves, with a 2-second pre-warning before movement starts.

4.3 Connecting the remote antenna

The remote antenna allows the radio range between the remote control and the drive to be increased.

4.4 Connecting the back-up battery

Operation

For optimum battery life it is recommended that the main power supply be switched off and the drive operated using the battery for several cycles, three times a year.
