JACKSHAFT 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 jackshaft operators as described in this manual 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
- To operate in Momentary Contact To Close mode and
comply with the UL325 Entrapment Protection requirements
effective Aug. 29, 2010, the door system must include one of
the following (a, b, or c):
(a) Linear Corp. Photo-Beam System that consists of an
emitter, Part No. 217792 and detector, Part No. 217800 for
doors as described above up to 30 FT wide. See Page 13.
(b) Any Miller Edge ME, MT/MU, and CPT family of edges,
with suffix T2, must be connected to the SM-102 Edge
Module, Recognized by UL as per UL325 2010 on 08-292010 for door as described above. See Page 13.
(c) A Vitector Fraba OSE 2-wire Photosystem as Recognized
by UL as per UL325 2010 on 08-29-2010 for door as
described above. See Page 13.
- The manufacturer of this operator strongly recommends
installation of one of the entrapment protection device above
and states that one is REQUIRED where any automatic,
remote or manual control is used to activate the door.
Control Circuit: Standard three button open, close and stop.
5 Volts DC.
Connections For Auxiliary Entrapment Protection
Devices: For the ultimate in protection, terminals are provided
to connect a Linear Corp. Photo-Beam System that consists of an
emitter, Part No. 217792 and detector, Part No. 217800. This
device when connected is a monitored photo-beam system.

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
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, ..H.. suffix, 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.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE
WARNING
INJURY OR DEATH:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
• Install only on a properly operating and balanced
garage 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 opener.
• Remove all pull 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.
• 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).
• 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 door operator at least 8 feet or more
above the floor if the operator has exposed moving
parts.
• 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,
b) at a minimum height of five feet above the
floor so small children cannot reach it,
c) away from all moving parts of the door, and
d) far enough away from the door, or positioned
such that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the door while operating the
controls.
Do not overtighten the clutch adjustment to
compensate for a poorly working door.
Install the Entrapment Warning Placard next to
the control station in a prominent location.
All warning signs and placards must be installed
so they are visible in the area of the door.
After installing the opener, all safety features
must be tested for proper operation (see page 22).
For products having a manual release, instruct the
end user on the operation of the manual release.

WARNING
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SPRINGS, PULLEYS, CABLES AND MOUNTING HARDWARE USED TO
BALANCE YOUR GARAGE DOOR ARE UNDER EXTREME TENSION AT ALL
TIMES AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IF DISTURBED.
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”.

DIRECT COUPLING MOUNTING
Figure 4, page 8 illustrates several positions suitable for
mounting the operator including 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.
Refer to Figure 2, page 6 and Figure 5, page 9 and Figure 6,
Page 10 for the location of the operator mounting holes.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE OUTPUT
SHAFT OF THE OPERATOR AND THE
DOOR SHAFT BE CAREFULLY ALIGNED.
MISALIGNMENT OF THE SHAFTS WILL
CAUSE EXCESSIVE STRESS AND WEAR.
Raise the operator to a position which brings the door and
operator shafts into alignment and connect them together
with the flange coupling supplied with operator. Support the
other end of the operator jackshaft from the ceiling with a
chain or rope. Holding the operator in a vertical position,
carefully measure the distance from the operator mounting
plates to the wall. Lower the operator to the floor and
construct a secure mounting surface using the dimension
measured in the previous step. Again raise the operator to its
mounting position and re-connect the shafts. Mark the
mounting slots in the support structure, drill and securely bolt
the operator into place.
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE
OPERATOR INSTALLATION AND
SETTINGS, MAKE A FINAL CHECK FOR
TIGHTNESS OF ALL MOUNTING
HARDWARE.
CHAIN HOIST AND FLOOR DISCONNECT
INSTALLATION
If the operator is furnished with a chain hoist (Model AUH-S), pass
the hand chain over the chain wheel and through the chain guides
on the operator clutch shaft (opposite end from the large pulley).
Fasten the ends of the chain together by opening and re-closing one
link using two pairs of pliers. If the chain is too long (standard
length for 16 foot high doors and below is 26 feet total length of
chain), shorten it to the desired length using the method described
above and discard the unused portion.
Fasten the chain hoist holding bracket furnished with the operator
to the wall approximately four feet from the floor. This bracket is
also used to hold in place the release chain for both the chain hoist
equipped units (Model AUH-S) and floor disconnect models
(Model AUJ-S).
