MODEL J-S & H-S 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 cross­header 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 J & H 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

- 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 12.
(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 12.
(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 12.

- 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. Additional

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.

PREPARATION

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 H-S, 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.

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

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 J and H 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 pages 19-

21).

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 6, page 8 illustrates several positions suitable for

mounting the operator; right hand or left hand, either wall mount
or ceiling mount.

CHAIN COUPLING MOUNTING

Refer to Figure 2 (at right), Figure 1, page 4 and Figure 7, page

9 for component identification and the operator mounting slot

locations. Place the sprockets [ 5 ] and [ 14 ] on the chosen side
of the torsion shaft of the door and on the corresponding end of
the output shaft of the operator, see Figure 3. 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 [ 5 ] on the torsion shaft. Temporarily suspend
the operator in its mounting position using the chain over the
sprocket [ 14 ] 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.

If there isn‟t a keyway on the doorshaft, keep the sprockets
aligned and drill a 5/16” hole through the door drive sprockets

and door shaft. Insert roll pin, Item (2). See Figures 3 & 4.

BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE
OPERATOR INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS,
MAKE A FINAL CHECK FOR TIGHTNESS OF
ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE AND SET
SCREWS.

CHAIN HOIST AND FLOOR DISCONNECT
INSTALLATION

If the operator is furnished with a chain hoist (Model H-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 H-S) and floor disconnect models (Model
J-S).
