MODEL M50D OPERATOR APPLICATIONS:
Drawbar operators are for commercial and industrial use on sectional overhead doors which use horizontal track with normal radius. A draw bar operator is not suitable for doors with high lift exceeding 24 inches or vertical lift doors. The installation requires a minimum clearance of 5 inches above the high arc of the door (the highest point reached by the door at any part of its travel). For back-room requirement refer to Figure 19, Page 17. When properly installed a drawbar operator effectively locks the door in the closed position.
The Model M50D drawbar operators are used in the following applications:
-Intermittent Duty, Limited Cycle Commercial installations only
-Rate of operation shall not exceed 10 cycles of openings and closings per hour, maximum of 60 cycles per day. -Indoor Use Only
-Up to 14 foot high doors with a maximum area of 196 square feet for - maximum area slightly higher for lighter doors - consult factory
-Use with foam or pneumatic reversing edge door components - 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.
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.

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, adjust the springs for proper counterbalance of the door.
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.
4
The rails and drawbar chain/hardware package are shipped separately from the powerhead. 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
REMOVE OR DISABLE ANY LOCKING DEVICES FROM DOOR AND REMOVE ALL ROPES

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES |
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY WARNING OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS!
•Install only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door could case severe injury. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblys 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. See Page 9.
•Allstar Model M50D is a Commercial Vehicular Door Operator and as such IS 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 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).

RAIL/CHAIN ASSEMBLY |
|
|
Refer to Figure 1 parts illustrations. The part names and item |
|
|
numbers are referenced identically to the part names and |
|
|
numbers in the assembly procedures that follow. |
|
|
Before starting assembly of the operator track |
|
|
check for the proper length. The tracks are |
|
|
supplied for 8 Feet and 10/12/14 Feet |
|
|
high doors. The tracks should be |
|
|
three (3) feet longer than the |
|
|
door height. If the tracks |
|
|
supplied with the |
|
|
operator are more |
|
|
than three (3) feet |
|
|
longer than the |
(48 INCHES FOR |
|
door height it will |
|
|
10 FT DOORS |
|
|
be necessary to cut |
|
|
off two (2) feet (or |
|
|
4 feet for 10 FT |
|
Figure 2 |
doors) from the |
|
|
power head |
|
|
mounting end as |
|
|
shown in Figure 2. |
|
|
CAUTION: WHEN NECESSARY TO CUT THE TRACK ENSURE THE ENDS ARE LINED UP AS IN FIGURE 2.
1)Assemble the operator track by assembling the items as shown in Figure 2.
2)After the track is assembled, position track assembly onto the operator power head and attach with four 3/8”-16 x 1” bolts, lock washers and nuts (supplied in a separate hardware package #100470).
3)Referring to Figure 1 , 2 and 3 (below) , slide the trolley onto the track with the chain take up bolt lug (C) toward the power head. Thread one 3/8-16 keps nut (attached star washer) onto the Chain take up bolt with the keps part (attached star washer) away from the chain attachment end. Insert the chain take up bolt threaded end through the lug hole on the trolley (C) just far enough to start a second 3/8-16 keps nut. Attach one end of the chain to the opposite end of the threaded stud using a 3-piece chain link (provided). See Figure 3.
4)Install chain around drive sprocket at operator head then around idler at front end of rail and thread through opening at front end
of carrier. If the rail is equipped with a chain guide-spacer near its center (12 foot rail or longer only) pass the chain over it in one direction and under it in the other
direction to separate the two lengths of |
|
chain. Apply initial tension by pushing |
100461 |
forward on the carrier while pulling chain |
|
tight through opening in the carrier in the |
|
direction of D. When maximum tension |
|
has been applied by this means, swing |
|
chain forward and insert retaining plate, |
|
E, in place. Insert 1/4-20 x 5/8 hex head |
|
machine screw through retaining plate, E, |
|
and tighten plate in place. Make final |
|
adjustment of chain tension to remove |
|
excess sag by adjusting nuts on threaded |
|
rod at chain lug, C. |
