Advice,
Do Not operate unless the doorway is in sight and free of
obstructions. Keep people clear of opening while door is moving.
Do Not allow children to play with the door operator.
Do Not change operator control to momentary contact unless an
external reversing means is installed.
Do Not operate a door that jams or one that has a broken spring
Turn off electrical power before removing operator cover.
When replacing the cover, make sure wires are not pinched or near
moving parts.
Operator must be electrically grounded.
Do Not try to remove, repair or adjust springs or anything to which
door spring parts are fastened, such as, wood block, steel bracket,
cable or any other structure or like item.
Repairs and adjustments must be made by a trained service

READ PRIOR TO ANY DOOR OPERATION
1. Read manual and warnings carefully.
2. Keep the door in good working condition.
Periodically lubricate all moving parts of door.
3. If door has a sensing edge, check operations monthly. Make any necessary
repairs to keep it functional.
4. AT LEAST twice a year, manually operate
door by disconnecting it from the operator.
The Door should open and close freely. If it
does not, the door must be taken out of
service and a trained service representative
must correct the condition causing
the malfunction.
5. The Operator Motor is protected against
overheating by an internal thermal protector.
If the operator ceases to function because
motor protector has tripped, a trained service
technician may need to correct the condition
which caused the overheating. When motor
has cooled, thermal protector will automatically reset and normal operation can
be resumed.
6. In case of power failure, the door can be
operated manually by pulling the release
cable to disconnect the operator drive syste
7. Keep instructions in a prominent location
near the pushbutton.

Section 3: Critical Installation Information
Job Site Issues to Consider/Concerns
The following list of items should be considered prior to selecting an operator for a given job site.
1-Available power supply.
2-Type of door.
3-Potential operator mounting obstructions. Items to consider include, but are not limited to: side room, room above door shaft,
surface integrity, power supply location, and convenient chain hoist and release cable positioning.
4-Size of door for appropriate
5-Operator mounting environment. Items to consider include operator location, dampness of location, dustiness of the
6-Door activation needs/requirements. Examples include 3 button control stations, 1 button control stations, radio controls, pull
key switches, etc. See “Entrapment Protection” section below.
7-Interlock switches are required under certain conditions for
8-Accessory equipment. Examples include reversing edges and/or photocell beams, which are required for
warning lights, etc.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
The installation of a fail safe external reversing device (such as a monitored reversing edge or photocell system, etc.) is required on all momentary contact electronically
operated commercial doors. If such a reversing device is not installed, the operator will revert to a constant contact control switch for operation (Closing only).
The Reversing Devices currently UL Approved with this model are:
1)
MillerEdge ME, MT and CPT series monitored edge sensors used in combination with Timer-Close Module P/N OPABTCX.S, and/or OPAKMEIGX.S INTERFACE MODULE.
2) Residential Safe-T-Beam® Monitored Photocells from The Genie® Company, model OSTB-BX (P/N 38176R).
3) Series II Commercial Safe-T-Beam®, Monitored Photocells P/N OPAKPE.S.
4) Series II Commercial Safe-T-Beam®, Monitored Photocells P/N OPAKPEN4GX.S.

CAUTION:
Check working condition of door before installing the operator. Door must be free from sticking and binding. If equipped, deactivate
any door locking device(s). Door repairs and adjustments, including cables and spring assemblies MUST be made by a trained service
representative using proper tools and instructions.

3.1
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
The GCX can be used with the following UL Listed entrapment devices in compliance with UL325 requirements active starting August 29, 2010.
UNTIL ONE OF THESE MONITORED EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT DEVICES IS INSTALLED, THE OPERATOR WILL NOT ALLOW MOMENTARY CONTACT OPERATION IN THE CLOSE DIRECTION.
APPROVED DEVICES
Miller Edge ME, MT & CPT series monitored edge sensors used in combination with either the Genie®
Timer-Close Module or Direct connect through STB inputs using the OPAKMEIGX.S Interface Module.
Note: Total door weight and not square footage is the critical factor in selecting the proper operator. These Sq.Ft. measurements are based on square doors, e.g. 16' x 16'.
Unbalanced Fire Shutters have a maximum square footage of 52 for 22GA. steel and 42 for 20GA. steel.
2) Install only on a properly operating and balanced door. A door that is operating
improperly could cause severe injury. Have qualified service personnel make
repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other hardware before installing the operator.
3) Remove all pull ropes and remove, or make inoperative, all locks (unless mechanically
and/or electronically interlocked to the power unit) that are connected to the door
before installing the operator.
4) Install the door operator at least 8 feet above the floor if the oper
moving parts.
5) Do not connect the door operator to the power source until instructed to do so.
6) Locate the control station: (a) within sight of the door, (b) a minimum of 5 feet above
the floor so that small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts
of the door.
7) Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to the control station and in a
prominent location.
8) For products having a manual release, instruct the end user on the operation of the
manual release.

Line Voltage Wiring Fig. 1
Section 5: Wiring
WARNING
• DO NOT apply power to operator until instructed to do so.
• The Genie® Company recommends that line voltage wiring be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Be sure that electrical power has been disconnected from the input power wires being connected to the operator prior to handling these wires. An appropriate lock-out /tag-out procedure is recommended.
• Line voltage wiring must meet all local building codes.
• Make sure operator voltage, phase and frequency nameplate ratings are identical to the job site line voltage ratings.
• Input power wiring must be properly sized for the operators amperage rating located on the nameplate.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure the chassis of this unit is properly grounded.
1) Remove LINE VOLTAGE INPUT PLUG and install proper fittings and 1/2”conduit.
2) Route proper LINE VOLTAGE wires into operator.
3) Locate LINE INPUT terminals on circuit board. Using correct connectors, attach wires to LINE INPUTS, and GROUND terminal.
• Keep low voltage and line voltage wires separate.
• Route all line voltage wires as shown.
• Plug all unused conduit holes.
