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. MJ and MH Series Jackshaft operators may also
be used with certain roll up service doors and grills when
appropriately sprocketed (consult factory).

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 MS Series jackshaft operators are used in the
following applications:

- Limited Duty Commercial installations only

- Rate of operation shall not exceed 10 cycles of opening

and closing per hour, maximum 60 cycles per day.

- Indoor Use Only

- Up to 14 foot high doors with a maximum area of

196 square feet, 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 10.

- (b) Any Miller Edge ME, MT/MU, and CPT family of

edges, with suffix T2, must be connected to the SM­102 Edge Module, Recognized by UL as per UL325
2010 on 08-29-2010 for door as described above.
See Page 10.

- (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 10.

- 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.

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

Digital Radio Controls: Open, Close and Stop operation.

Radio units are available to control up to 27 doors from one
transmitter.

Timer to Close Operation: Two of the programmable
operation modes (T & TS), closing delay is adjustable from 5
seconds (factory set at 30 seconds) to 5 minutes in five second
intervals.

Delay on Reverse: Factory set to 0.6 seconds, adjustable to 2
seconds.

Keyless Entry System: Connection terminals provided for

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

PREPARATION

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,
Model MH5011S, 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 MJ and MH are a 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 19).

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 7 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 (below), Figure 1, page 4 and Figures 5 and

5A, page 8 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.

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 installing 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.

BEFO RE PR O CE E DI NG WI TH T H E
OPERATOR INSTALLATION AND SETTINGS,
MAKE A FINAL CHECK FOR TIGHTNESS OF
ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE AND SET
SCREWS.

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

Proceed to “Chain Hoist and Floor Disconnect Installation”.

CHAIN HOIST AND FLOOR DISCONNECT
INSTALLATION

If the operator is furnished with a chain hoist (Model MH5011S),

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 re­closing 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 (MH5011S) and floor disconnect models
(MJ5011S).
