1 Important Notes
ATTENTION
Incorrect installation or handling of the
operator could result in serious injury.
Please therefore follow these instructions
fully and with extreme care!
1.1 Important safety instructions
This garage door operator is designed exclusively for
the automated operation of spring-balanced up-and-over
and sectional doors in the non-commercial sector.
Use in the commercial sector is not permitted.
1.1.1 We shall be exempt from our warranty obligations
and product liability in the event that the customer
carries out his own structural changes or undertakes
improper installation work or arranges for same to be
carried out without our prior approval and contrary to
the installation guidelines we have provided.
Moreover, we shall accept no responsibility for the in-
advertent or negligent operation of the operator and
accessories nor for the improper maintenance of the
door and/or its counterbalance mechanism.
Batteries and light bulbs are also not covered by the
warranty.
1.1.2 Checking the door / door system
The design of the operator is not suitable nor intended
for the opening and closing of heavy doors, i.e. doors
that can no longer be opened or closed manually. Before
installing the operator, it is therefore necessary to
check the door and make sure that it can also be
easily moved by hand.
To do this, raise the door approx. 1 metre and then let it
go. The door should retain this position, moving neither
up nor down. If the door should move in any of the two
directions, there is a risk that the compensating springs
are defective or incorrectly adjusted. In this case increased
wear and malfunctioning of the door system can be ex-
pected.
CAUTION: Danger to life!
Do not attempt to change, readjust, repair or
move the compensating springs for the door's
counterbalance mechanism or their holders. The
springs are under great tension and can cause
serious injury.
In addition, check the entire door system (pivots,
door bearings, cables, springs and fastenings)
for wear and possible damage. Check for signs
of rust, corrosion or fractures. The door system
may not be used if repair or adjustment work
needs to be carried out. Always remember that
a fault in the door system or a misaligned door
can also cause injury.
Note
Before installing the operator and in the interests of personal
safety, make sure that any work needed on the door's com-
pensating springs is carried out by a special engineer. This
also applies to any necessary maintenance or repair work.
1.2 Important instructions for safe installation
Any further processing must ensure that the national
regulations governing the operation of electrical equip-
ment are complied with.
1.2.1 Before installing the garage door operator, check
that the door is in a good mechanical condition and is
correctly balanced. Further check whether the door opens
and closes in the proper manner (see section 1.1.2).
In addition, any of the door's mechanical locks and latches
not needed for power operation of the garage door
should be immobilised. This includes in particular any
locking mechanisms connected with the door lock (see
sections 2.2 to 2.3).
The garage door operator is designed for use in dry buil-
dings and therefore may not be installed outdoors. The
garage ceiling must be constructed in such a way as to
guarantee safe, secure anchoring of the operator. In the
case of ceilings that are too high or too lightweight, the
operator must be attached to additional braces.
1.2.2 In carrying out the installation work the applicable
regulations regarding working safety must be complied
with.
ATTENTION
Always cover the operator before drilling,
since dust and chippings can lead to
malfunctions.
The clearance between the highest point of the door and
the ceiling (also when the door is opening) must be at
least 30 mm (see fig. 1.1a / 1.1b). If there is inadequate
clearance, the operator may also be installed behind the
opened door, provided sufficient space is available. In
such instances an extended door link arm must be used.
The garage door operator can be positioned off-centre by
max. 50 cm, the exception being sectional doors with
high-lift tracks (track application "H"), where a special
track fitting is required.
The required shockproof electric socket allowing the ope-
rator to be connected to the electricity supply should be
installed at a distance of approx. 50 cm from the operator
head.
