MODEL AUJ & AUH OPERATOR APPLICATIONS:
Jackshaft operators are intended for commercial and
industrial use to raise or lower sectional overhead
doors by chain coupling or direct coupling to the door
shaft. Jackshaft operators are suitable where all or
part of the door remains in a vertical position when
fully open such as doors with at least 18 inches of lift
clearance or full vertical lift doors. Jackshaft
operators may also be used with roll up service doors
and grills when appropriately modified at the factory
to obtain the correct speeds.
A jackhaft operator DOES NOT LOCK THE DOOR
IN ITS CLOSED POSITION. However, because the
cross-header shaft is prevented by the operator from
turning, the torsion springs provide no assistance in
lifting the door should an attempt be made to raise it
manually.
The AU Series jackshaft operators are used in the
following applications:
- Continuous Duty, Medium Cycle Commercial
installations only
- Indoor Use Only
- Up to 24 foot high doors with a maximum area
of 480 square feet for 3/4 HP, 280 square feet
for 1/2 HP and 200 square feet for 1/3 HP maximum area slightly higher for lighter doors
- consult factory
- Use with foam/pneumatic reversing door edge
or photoelectric device - REQUIRED where the
3-button station is out of sight of the door, or
any other automatic, remote or manual control
is used to activate the door
STANDARD FEATURES:
Limit Switches: Driven limit switches, easily adjusted
over a wide range. The motor may be removed without
affecting the limit switch adjustments
Manual Release: Permits manual operation of the
door in the event of a power failure. The Model AUH is
equipped with a chain hoist to aid in manual operation.
Control Circuit: Standard three button open, close
and stop. 24 Volts AC.
Connections For Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Devices:
door edge components or a photoelectric beam (across
the opening) device.
Use with foam or pneumatic reversing
Constant Contact To Close: Feature can be activat-
ed by simply moving a wire on the terminal strip.
Momentary Contact To Close: Standard operation.
OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Digital Radio Controls: Open, Close and Stop
operation. Radio units are available to control up to 27
doors from one transmitter
Digital Timer to Close: Adjustable from 0 to 17
minutes in one second intervals.
Keyless Entry System: Connection terminals
provided for hard wired or wireless keyless entry
systems.
Direct Coupling (FS or FC Mount): Must be pre-
ordered from the factory. Flange couplers direct
connect the operator output shaft and the door shaft.
Door shaft speed is 30 RPM unless otherwise
specified.
PREPARATION
WARNING
ELECTRIC DOOR OPENERS ARE DESIGNED
FOR DOORS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION,
PROPERLY COUNTERBALANCED AND
PROPERLY ADJUSTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE DOOR MANUFACTURER'S
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Before starting the installation of the operator, the door must be in
good working condition and properly counterbalanced. Inspect the
door and track for loose or missing hardware. Test the door
manually for balance and ease of operation. Lubricate door hinges
and rollers. If necessary, employ a qualified technician to adjust the
springs for proper counterbalance of the door.
Stops should be installed at the top end of each track to prevent the
possibility of the door rollers moving beyond the ends of the track.
If the cross header shaft is made from hollow tubing rather than
solid rod, it is recommended that it be plugged with a short length of
solid bar for a more secure installation of the shaft sprocket or
flange coupler.
Before removing the operator powerhead from the shipping carton,
inspect the nameplate on the cover of the operator control box to
4
verify that it is the correct model for the intended application
and that the voltage and phase are in accordance with
electrical power provided at the job site. If the operator was
ordered with the optional chain hoist, Model AUH, see that it
is so equipped. A chain hoist CANNOT be added in the field.
Warning: Rope off the area to keep personnel and
vehicles clear of the door and floor space in the vicinity of
the operator during the installation.
WARNING
SPRINGS ARE SUBJECT TO VERY
HIGH FORCES AT ALL TIMES AND
ADJUSTMENTS MUST BE MADE
ONLY BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL DOOR INSTALLER.

WARNING
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY
OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
• Install only on a properly balanced garage
door. An improperly balanced door could
cause severe injury. Have a qualified service
person make repairs to cables, spring
assemblies and other hardware before
installing the opener.
• Remove all ropes and remove or make
inoperative all locks (unless mechanically and/
or electrically interlocked to the power unit)
that are connected to the garage door before
installing the opener.
• Lightweight doors (fiberglass, aluminum
etc.) must be reinforced to avoid door damage.
Check the door manufacturer’s instruction
manual for a bracing procedure or the
availability or a Reinforcement Kit.
• Allstar Model AUJ and AUH are
Commercial Vehicular Door Operators and as
such are NOT recommended for pedestrian
traffic. In installations where it is known that
pedestrians will be nearby ensure a pedestrian
door is available for entrance and exit to the
building. In addition YOU MUST install an
auxiliary entrapment protection device
(reversing door edge or photoelectric beam
device) as part of the compete operator
system.
• Connect an auxiliary entrapment
protection device (reversing edge or
photoelectric device across the door opening).
A device of this type is STRONGLY
ADVISED FOR ALL commercial operator
installations. An auxiliary entrapment
protection device is REQUIRED when the
three button control station is out of sight of
the door or any other automatic or manual
control is used.
• Install the opener at least 8 feet or more
above the floor.
• Do not connect the opener to the source
of power until instructed to do so.
• Locate the control station:
a) within sight of the door and;
b) at a minimum height of five feet
above the floor and;
c) away from all moving parts of the
door.
• Do not overtighten the clutch adjustment
to compensate for a poorly working door.
• Securely attach any WARNING signs or
placards to either the door or above the
control station as directed (see page 11).
• After installing the opener, all safety
features must be tested for proper operation
(see page 16).

TIMES AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF DISTURBED.
WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT ADJUSTMENT.
Figure 4, page 8 illustrates several positions suitable for
mounting the operator; right hand or left hand, either wall mount
or ceiling mount and center mount with direct coupling to the
torsion shaft. Direct coupling may also be used in a side mount
installation. Operators intended for direct coupling require an
internal speed modification and must be ordered from the factory.
CHAIN COUPLING MOUNTING
Refer to Figure 2 (at right), Figure 1, page 4 and Figure 5, page
9 for component identification and the operator mounting slot
locations. Place the sprockets [ 3 ] and [ 4 ] on the chosen side of
the torsion shaft of the door and on the corresponding end of the
output shaft of the operator. The sprockets should be kept as
close as possible to the bearings. Fasten the connecting link to
each end of the door chain and loop the chain over the sprocket
[ 3 ] on the torsion shaft. Temporarily suspend the operator in its
mounting position using the chain over the sprocket [ 4 ] at one
end of the jackshaft and a rope or chain at the mid point (to
support the operator weight). With the chain tight and straight
and the jackshaft parallel with the torsion shaft, trace the
mounting slot on the mounting surface then lower the operator to
the floor.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE SURFACE
SUPPORTING THE OPERATOR BE RIGID
AND SECURE. FAILURE TO PROVIDE A FIRM
MOUNTING SURFACE WILL RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO THE DOOR TORSION SHAFT
AND THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE
OPERATOR.
If the construction permits, the operator should be mounted with
3/8 inch diameter bolts through the wall. If it is not feasible to go
through the wall, then use lag bolts to fasten the operator to the
mounting surface. Locate the four holes within the tracings of the
slots made in the previous step at the positions which will allow
for adjust-ment of the chain tension. After drilling the mounting
holes and instal-ling lag shields, if necessary, bolt the operator to
the mounting surface but do not completely tighten the bolts at
this time. Check the alignment of the sprockets, adjust their
positions on the shafts if necessary and tighten the set screws
securely on both sprockets. pulling downward on the operator to
remove slack from the chain, tighten the four mounting bolts.
Inspect the installation. There should be no slack in the chain but
neither should it be under severe tension which might shorten the
life of the bearings. If there is any flexibility in the system due to
construction of the surface supporting the operator or noticeable
deflection of the door shaft, it is advisable to install a shaft
support between the operator jackshaft and the door shaft to
prevent the loss of limit settings due to the possibility of the
chain jumping over the sprocket teeth. Shaft supports are
available from the factory.
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE
OPERATOR INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS,
MAKE A FINAL CHECK FOR TIGHTNESS OF
ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE AND SET
SCREWS.
Proceed to “Chain Hoist and Floor Disconnect Installation”.
