CAUTION
MAKE CERTAIN THAT OPERATOR IS PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH DOOR SHAFT OTHERWISE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR
1. Place the driven sprocket on the door shaft loosely and align it with the drive sprocket of the operator.
NOTE: If a chain spreader has been ordered along with your operator, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 below
for installation.
Figure 8 Chain spreader mounted on door and
operator shafts

Lock the drive and driven sprockets in place by inserting the keys and tightening their respective set screws.
2. Connect the sprockets with the drive chain, shorten to a suitable length and join together with the chain link
provided in the hardware bag. To shorten the chain, punch out the pin that will leave an inside link nearest to
the desired length. Connect the chain around the sprockets using the chain link (Figure 9).
3. Slide the operator or adjust position of angle hood mounted bracket to tighten the drive chain and then firmly
tighten the mounting bolts. Check the tension on the chain and the set screws on the sprockets (there should
be no more than 1/4" slack when chain is depressed between sprockets
4. Run hand chain through the pocket wheel and through the chain guide outside the frame (Figure 10), allow
both ends to hang down toward the ground and cut hand chain, if necessary, so that both ends are
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) from floor. Connect both ends of hand chain.
CAUTION

of limit switches to their final, exact positions.
Figure 12 Adjusting the limit cams
3.5 MINIMUM SUGGESTED WIRE SIZE FOR CONTROL CIRCUIT
The control circuit operates at 24 VAC. Due to the resistance in the wire used to carry the control circuit voltage, it
is important to use the appropriate wire size with respect to the distance between the operator and the pushbutton station.
The chart (TABLE 2) indicating the minimum recommended wire size with respect to the total distance
between the operator and the push-button station. DO NOT exceed the maximum distance. If there are
several push-button stations in series you must ADD all these distances before selecting the appropriate wire
gauge for your operator.
If the wire gauge is not suitable for the distance, problems in operation will be encountered such as chattering
relays and contactor, premature wear of the contacts and possible tripping of the motor's thermal protection.
If a greater distance is required, a long distance interface module is suggested (consult factory).
When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box will be needed for operator power connection (not
supplied).
Pull the traveling cam retaining bracket
on desired side to adjust cam position

All power wiring to the operator should be installed by a qualified electrician and may vary with respect to conduit
size and type as specified in the National Electrical Code, Article 430, allowing 5% voltage drop. Power must also
be connected in accordance with local codes.

4.6 CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT (OPTIONAL)
1. Loosen clutch set screws (Figure 13)
2. Back off (rotate counter clockwise) clutch nut until there is insufficient tension to permit clutch to drive door
3. Tighten clutch nut gradually until there is just enough tension on spring to permit operator to move door
smoothly, but allow clutch to slip if door is obstructed.
4. When clutch is properly adjusted it should be possible to stop door by hand during travel.
5. Be sure to tighten clutch set screws each time operator is tested for clutch adjustment and that it is locked
in place on completion of adjustments.
WARNING
THE OPTIONAL FRICTION CLUTCH IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT VEHICLES AND DOOR
HARDWARE AGAINST DAMAGE. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROTECT PEOPLE. ALL DOORS
SERVING PERSONNEL ARE TO BE FITTED WITH AN APPROPRIATE REVERSING DEVICE OR
REVERSING EDGE TO PREVENT INJURY OR DEATH.
We strongly recommend the use of an automatic reversing device. Several types are available as
accessories. Consult your dealer for a recommendation.
Figure 13 Clutch adjustment

4.7 BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. The brake is factory set. However, after extensive use the brake may need to be adjusted.
2. In order to obtain best performance and maximum life, the brake must be adjusted for:
Proper clearance between the brake band and the brake drum when the solenoid is energized.
Correct brake tensioning when the solenoid is de-energized.
TO ADJUST THE BRAKE SYSTEM:
1. Remove the solenoid front cover by slightly unscrewing screws on each side of the frame. (Figure 14)
2. Slightly unscrew the pivot nut using the appropriate key (7/16”) or a nut driver (Figure 15).
3. Press the brake lever towards the solenoid (Figure 14) to adjust the gap between the plunger and the
solenoid body, meanwhile pull the brake adjustment lever away from the motor to put tension on the band
(Figure 14).
4. The gap between the plunger and the solenoid body should measure 1/4” to 3/8” wide (Figure 15).
5. Tighten the pivot nut, recheck the gap and also check the Brake adjustment:
Verify that the brake drum does not rotate by hand
Manually push the plunger onto the solenoid body and verify that the brake drum rotates easily by hands
6. Once the adjustment has been completed, reinstall the solenoid cover.

3.8 ADJUSTMENT AND MANUAL OPERATION OF OPERA-GH OPERATOR
The Opera-GH operator is equipped with an automatic emergency chain hoist disconnect mechanism to operate
the door manually, no floor disconnect is required.
In one simple step
Control circuit interrupted.
Hoist engaged.
Manual operations.
are successively completed by pulling the hand chain in the desired direction:
1. Firmly pull on the hand chain in the desired direction. The first foot pulled will engage the hoist
mechanism and open the electrical control circuit.
2. Continue the traction movement to move the door. If it doesn’t run in the desired direction, repeat actions 1
and 2 by pulling the chain in the other direction (See Figure 16).
3. The automatic hoist engagement system is adjusted in the factory. It may require adjustment in the field.
Adjustment is necessary if no door movement occurs after two feet of pulled hand chain. Turn the adjusting
nut clockwise (see figure 17) by ¼ turn until the hoist engages after pulling one foot of chain. If the nut is too
tight, the manual torque on the chain will be too heavy.
4. Return to the standard electrical operation.
IMPORTANT: To return to electrical operation, pull back 6 inches on the opposite direction of the chain.
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISENGAGE THE OPERATOR WHILE OPERATOR IS RUNNING. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY FORCE A MALFUNCTIONING DOOR TO OPEN OR CLOSE. THIS IS AN
EMERGENCY DEVICE AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO OPERATE A DOOR WITH SERIOUS MECHANICAL
PROBLEMS.

Figure 17 Manual operation system adjustment
WARNING
ONCE ALL THE ADJUSTMEMTS ARE COMPLETED, THE SOLENOID FRONT SHOULD BE PLACED
BACK AND TIGHTEN THE SCREWS ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRAME

4.9 GEAR REDUCER BREATHER AND LUBRICANT
All Gear Head operators are supplied with a Reducer Breather. However, the breather is not mounted at the factory
to avoid leakage during handling of the reducer. All reducers are built with an air-vent hole to receive the Reducer
Breather. To prevent oil leakage during shipping and installation, a metal bolt is placed on the air-vent hole.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE RISK OF HAVING HIGH PRESURE IN THE REDUCER (GEAR BOX) AN OIL BREATHER
SHOULD BE INSTALLED ON THE GEAR REDUCER. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE BREATHER MAY LEAD
TO OIL LEAKAGE FROM THE SEAL AND DAMAGE THE REDUCER.
DRAIN BOLT: is located on the
bottom of the reducer to drain the
used oil. It is advised to bring the
operator down while changing oil.
Drain bolt must be properly
tightened to avoid oil leakage.

Yellow Plug
(should be removed
after cap installation)
For reducer with vent
hole at 60° use cap
only as shown
For reducer with vent
hole at 90° use metal
elbow + cap as shown

HOW TO PLACE THE BREATHER IN THE AIR VENT HOLE:
The Breather consists of a Metal Elbow and a Screw-in Plastic Cap with a yellow plug.
The Breather on the reducer should be installed once the gear head operator is mounted. Install the breather
referring to the drawing shown (remove the metal bolt from the air vent hole):
If the air-vent hole is leaning at 60° or more, only the screw-in plastic cap must be used on the air-vent.
If the air-vent hole is leaning at less than 60°, the metal elbow and plastic cap must be used. Using only
the plastic cap will result in risk of oil leakage since the reducer is almost half full.
NOTE: Once the breather is installed, the yellow plug must be removed from the plastic cap to allow
free ventilation of the reducer.
MAINTENANCE:
The oil level in the reducer should be checked at least once a month. False readings can be avoided by
examining the oil on stationary reducer. Remove the breather and with the help of a long screwdriver or a
metal rod, check the oil level by inserting it inside the reducer. Under normal conditions, the oil level must be
near the middle of the drive shaft level. Never mix two different types of oil. If uncertain, change lubricant.
CHANGING LUBRICANT:
After 100 hours of running, a new reducer should be drained, flushed and refilled with proper oil. Thereafter,
oil should be changed at least every 2500 operating hours. Never mix two different types of oil. Be sure to
drain and wash before using another type of oil.
SELECTION OF LUBRICANT:
Lubricating oil must have a viscosity to reduce friction and allow the speed reducer to operate smoothly under
high load and impact. Consult the table below to select the proper lubricant (see table below).
Our gear reducers are normally filled up with oil of S.A.E. (Society of Automobile Engineers) grade 80W90,
where a wide temperature range is expected.
These kinds of lubricants permit extended life between drains. This is due to their increased resistance to
thermal degradation or oxidation.

80W90

5 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Maintenance and supervision should be performed by qualified persons only.
Inspection and service should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
WARNING
WHEN SERVICING - ALWAYS DISCONNECT OPERATOR FROM POWER SUPPLY
5.1 MECHANICAL
The door area should always be kept clear of dirt, rocks or any other substance to insure proper operation.
- Check and adjust the brake band and solenoid, if needed.
- Check and adjust the clutch, if necessary.
- Check all safety features if responding properly (photocells, pneumatic etc)
- Check the oil level in the gearbox.
- Lubricate all moving parts, bushings are oil impregnated and are lubricated for life.
- Verify that all mechanical parts function properly.
- Inspect the V-belt and adjust or replace if necessary.
- Manually operate the door. If the door does not open or close freely, correct the
cause of the malfunction.
- Inspect all bolts and screws and tighten if necessary.
- Check for any excessive slack in chains and adjust or replace them if necessary.
The limit switches may have to be reset after a chain adjustment.
- Inspect the door for wear and damage.
- Run the operator a few cycles:
Make sure that the door rollers are rolling smoothly on the track.
Listen to the motor: The motor should hum quietly and smoothly.
Verify that the limit operates quietly and smoothly: investigate any unusual noise.
- Verify that the mooring bolts are holding the unit securely.
- Inspect the unit for evidence of corrosion.
WARNING
BEFORE OPENING THE CONTROL BOX COVER, DISCONNECT OPERATOR FROM POWER SUPPLY
Inspect the unit for evidence of corrosion.
Inspect the wiring compartment and remove any dirt from the control units.
Check all the grounding wires and terminations for corrosion. Be particularly careful to check the ground wires.
Check the terminal strip to insure that all the screws are tight.
Verify that the safety edge or other safety devices installed on the operator are fully operational.
Check the voltage at the input terminals while the operator is running. The voltage must not drop more than 10%
momentarily. If the voltage drop is too deep when running, the relays may chatter, the contact points will wear
prematurely and may eventually weld. Check the power terminations for corrosion.
Check the current consumption of the unit with an amp-meter. The value of current should be consistent with the
nameplate specifications. Investigate any anomaly

LED MONITORING STATUS
LED’s on the ECB help will wiring and making troubleshooting diagnoses. Every LED states the actual position
of the door. The board has a non-volatile memory and all the LED return to their initial state after a power
interruption.
WRONG HANDLING
Wrong handling protection prevents the operator from over passing the limits when incoming 3-phase power or
a single-phase motor are incorrectly connected.
When the operator turns in the opposite direction and reaches the wrong limit switch, the LED indicator
flashes-on and all the external commands are ignored by the electronic board.
To correct the problem when:
Stop LED OFF:
Check if the Stop button is properly connected on #8 and #9 or if a Normally Closed contact is used.
Verify if the Hoist is properly engaged and if the Hoist switch is closed (or if any external interlock device is
remained open)
EXTERNAL CONTROLS
Refer to the wiring diagram on page 20 before connecting power or any external device to the ECB. Neglecting
to use the proper terminals will result in complete damage to the ECB. If you are not certain about procedures,
please consult Manaras for assistance.

7.3 PROGRAM SETTING
Door should be in fully closed position while setting one of these following programs.
FUNCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS
The Run Timer stops automatically the operator after an adjustable time delay either travelling
upwards or downwards. The Run Timer is designed to protect the door and the operator by
preventing the motor over running much longer than the normal time.
Mid-Stop function will, when active, move the door from the down position to a predetermined
Mid-stop position when the open button or Open/Close device is activated. Once at Mid-Stop,
subsequent Open/close commands will close the door. To move the door to full open position, the
open button must be pressed again.
Timer to Close is a function that, when active, will close the door after an adjustable time delay
once the door has reached its fully open and mid-stop position. The timer to close function works
only in T and TS modes.
TIMER TO CLOSE (from
fully open position only)
Option used in conjunction with MID STOP function. When activated, Timer to Close is active
from the fully open position only and not from the mid-stop position.
This feature, when programmed, allows adjustment of the safety device disabling point and to
determine the final stop point of the door once the “close limit switch” is activated. No “advance
close limit switch” is needed with this feature.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
STOP JUMPER
While testing the operator or adjusting the cams using the O/C/S buttons available on the Electronic
Control Board, a jumper should be placed between the #8 & #9. Once the tests or adjustments completed
the jumper should removed before connecting the wall 3-push buttons station. Failure to remove the stop
jumper, the STOP BUTTON WILL NOT RESPOND.
A stop jumper should be installed between #8 & #9 when using a Key switch, a single button Radio
control or a 2-buttons station (Open/Close). IN THESE CONDITIONS NO STOP COMMAND IS
AVAILABLE TO STOP THE DOOR DURING THE TRAVELLING.
WARNING
MOTORIZED DOORS CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. MANARAS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDS THE USE OF ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASES
OF MOMENTARY CONTACT TO CLOSE (B2 WIRING) AND TIMER TO CLOSE (T & TS).

7.5 CONNECTION OF A REVERSING EDGE DEVICE
IMPORTANT NOTE
IF THE DOOR IS CONTROLLED BY ANY DEVICE OTHER THAN A CONSTANT PRESSURE PUSH-BUTTON
STATION, A REVERSING EDGE MUST BE CONNECTED.
CAUTION: CONNECT REVERSING DEVICE APPROPRIATE TO INSTALLATION.
Connection and installation of a reversing edge device is provided with the edge (Figure 18 and Figure 19). Any such
device that uses a normally open contact may be connected to terminals #3 and #5 on the low voltage terminal block.
When the door comes in contact with an object during downward travel, the circuit will cause the motor to reverse the
door to the fully open position. In addition, there is a cut-off limit switch (advance close limit switch) that will de-activate
the reversing edge during the last few inches of the door's downward travel.
7.6 DOOR LOCK SENSOR & FRICTION CLUTCH
Please read carefully prior to installing this operator
Operators supplied with an electronic control board are equipped with the “DOOR LOCK SENSOR” feature.
The DOOR LOCK SENSOR prevents any damage to the
door when the door lock hasn’t been removed prior to
electronic operation. It eliminates the need of expensive
external interlock wiring.
This feature can only be used on operators equipped
with a FRICTION CLUTCH.
When the lock stops the door, the clutch slips and in less than
1 second, the door will reverse a fraction of a second to
release the lock.
WARNING
IF A CLUTCH IS USED IT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED ON SITE ONCE THE OPERATOR IS MOUNTED.
IN ORDER NOT TO DAMAGE THE DOOR WHEN THE LOCK IS ON, THE FRICTION CLUTCH HAS TO BE
ADJUSTED PROPERLY ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 12

WARNING
TO AVOID THE DANGER OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR AND OPERATOR, TRAVELLING CAMS
MUST BE ADJUSTED TO THEIR APPROXIMATE POSITIONS BEFORE MANUALLY OPERATING THE
DOOR OR BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE OPERATOR.
Only 2 limit switches are used in operators built with an Electronic Control Board. One for the “Open” side and
one for the “Close” side. No advanced Open or Closed limit switches is used. The microprocessor with the
built-in logic replaces the advanced Open and Closed limit switches (Figure 20)
7.8 DESCRIPTION LIMIT SWITCHES
The “Open” limit switch is the end of travel in the open position. Adjust the cam so that the door stops in
the open position at the desired location.
The “Close” limit switch is the end in the close position. Adjust the cam so that the door stops in the
closed position at the desired position.
7.9 TROUBLE SHOOTING AN OPERATOR WITH ECB
Troubleshooting an operator with an ECB is easier since the LEDs provided on the circuit board help to bring
a better diagnostic while finding faults.
Check the followings that may prevent the operator from starting
before coming to any conclusion
Check light status on
the ECB
Before starting any intervention, check the LEDs status and refer to the page
21 for a proper diagnostic.
Check the operating
modes
Review the operating modes: B2, C2, D1, T or TS
A wrong programming on Timer to Close or Mid Stop will stop the door to an
improper position.
Check the presence
of stop jumper

9.1 WIRING OF THE Opera-GH OPERATOR
Do NOT connect any accessory controls until the limit switch adjustments have been completed and the operator
is functioning properly.
Refer to the electrical diagrams on pages 42 and 43 and the accessory wiring diagrams on page 36 and 37.
WARNING
EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING MACHINE. THE DRIVE CHAIN AND LIMIT CHAIN, WHEN
EXPOSED AND TURNING COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY.
NOTE: Wiring diagrams are glued on the inside the control box cover. If the diagram is faded or damaged, call the
factory for a replacement. DO NOT INSTALL ANY WIRING OR ATTEMPT TO RUN THIS OPERATOR
WITHOUT CONSULTING THE WIRING DIAGRAM.
Main Power Supply
Power to the operator is of the permanent connection type. Connect according to local electrical code. Ground
the unit using the ground lug inside the control box.
IMPORTANT: Be aware of the dimension of the power supply cables pipe (BX for ex.) It must not limit the control
box movement to access the mechanical reduction parts. It is recommended to add 7 or 8 inches.
For single phase operators, connect the power supply to terminals L (line) and N (neutral) on the main terminal
strip.
For three phase operators, connect the power supply to terminals L1, L2 and L3 on the main terminal strip.
Figure 21 Power supply connection
WARNING
GROUND THE UNIT CORRECTLY USING THE COPPER GROUND LUG LOCATED INSIDE THE OPERATOR
CONTROL BOX.
Note: All other connections on the terminal strip (1 to 9) are low voltage class II 24 VAC.
1. External interlock between terminals 1 and 2. A jumper is factory installed between these two terminals. If
an external interlock is used (such as interlocking between two doors), remove the jumper between 1 and 2
and wire the interlock between these two terminals.

2. A 3 button push-button station (open/close/stop) can be wired to terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Two push-button
stations can be wired to these same terminals by following the wiring diagrams on pages 41 and 43.
Figure 23 Three button push-button station
3. Three terminals are provided for the wiring of a radio-control receiver. Terminal #9 is Ground, #7 is 24 VAC
(common) and #8 is the relay contact provided by the radio-control receiver to activate the door to open or
close. Furthermore, terminals 7, 8 and 9 are doubly available on the terminal strip inside and on a separate
small terminal strip located on the side of the unit. This terminal makes it convenient to wire-up a standard
single button radio receiver on the side of the unit. When the transmitter is activated, the door will open to
the fully open position. From the fully open position, the door will close. If transmitter is activated while
closing, the door will reverse to the fully open position.
NOTE: It may be required to reverse connections to 7 and 9 for other types or radio receivers (Allstar,
Linear, Pulsar ...).
4. A single button open/close door device can be wired to terminals 7 and 8 to behave in the same way as the
radio control receiver.
Figure 25 Single button device
NOTE: If several control devices are to be used, connect one and check for proper operation before
connecting the next device.
5. A reversing edge can be wired up to terminals 3 and 6. These terminals can also be used for any other
reversing devices such as loop detectors and photocells.

timer to close.

9.4 CONNECTION OF A REVERSING EDGE DEVICE
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the door is controlled by any device other than a constant pressure push-button
station, a reversing edge must be connected.
CAUTION
Connect reversing device appropriate to installation.
Connection and installation of a reversing edge device is provided with the edge (Figure 28 and Figure 29). Any
such device that uses a normally open contact may be connected to terminals 3 and 6 on the low voltage terminal
block (Figure 26). When the door comes in contact with an object during downward travel, the circuit will cause
the motor to reverse the door to the fully open position. In addition, there is a cut-off limit switch (advanced close
limit switch) that will de-activate the reversing edge during the last few inches of the door's downward travel.
WARNING
TO AVOID THE DANGER OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE DOOR AND OPERATOR, TRAVELLING CAMS
MUST BE ADJUSTED TO THEIR APPROXIMATE POSITIONS BEFORE MANUALLY OPERATING THE
DOOR OR BEFORE APPLYING POWER TO THE OPERATOR.
There are 4 limit switches. Two are used as end of travel, one is for radio-control or one-button operation and one
is for reversing devices. These switches are activated by the rotary cams travelling on a threaded shaft (Figure 29).
"Advanced Open"
limit switch
"Advanced
Close" limit
switch

9.6 DESCRIPTION LIMIT SWITCHES
The “Open” limit switch is the end of travel in the open position. Adjust the cam so that the door stops in
the open position at the desired location.
The “Advanced Open” limit switch is used for radio control (open/close) feature and to activate the timer
to close the door if a timer is used
The “Close” limit switch is the end in the close position. Adjust the cam so that the door stops in the
closed position at the desired position.
The “Advanced Closed” limit switch is used in the operation of the reversing edge or other reversing
devices. This limit switch prevents a signal from a reversing edge or device to reverse the door when it
is almost fully closed.
9.7 OPERATOR START-UP AND TESTING GUIDE
DANGER
WHILE PERFORMING THE TESTS LISTED BELOW, IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A POWER SHUT-OFF
DEVICE NEAR BY OR SOMEONE TO TURN THE POWER OFF WHEN NEEDED
This guide is a procedure you can follow to test every feature of your door operator.
If a 3 button push-button station is wired to the operator, disconnect it and then place a normally-closed contact
between terminals 2 and 3 to simulate a "Stop" push-button (use a spare limit switch or any such device).
Interrupting the power between these terminals will stop the operator.
Using a small wire jumper, momentarily jump (short-circuit) the following terminals:
A. Momentarily jump terminals 3 and 4.
The door will open instantly. Allow it open completely.
B. Momentarily jump terminals 3 and 5.
The door will close instantly. Allow it close completely.
C. Momentarily jump terminals 7 and 8.
The door will open instantly. Allow it to open completely.
D. Momentarily jump terminals 7 and 8.
The door will close instantly. While closing, go to step E.
E. Momentarily jump terminals 7 and 8 again.
The door will reverse to open. Allow it to open completely.
F. Momentarily jump terminals 7 and 8.
The door will close. While closing, go to step G.
G. Momentarily jump terminals 3 and 6.
The door will reverse to open. Allow it to open completely.
H. Momentarily jump terminals 7 and 8 again.
The door will close. Allow it to close completely.
I. Momentarily jump terminals 3 and 6.
The door should remain still.
This procedure can be repeated using the radio-control terminal strip located on the outside of the control box by
using terminals "24VAC" and "CONTACT" instead of terminals 7 and 8.
9.8 TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
All operators are thoroughly tested and adjusted before shipping. In most cases, it is after installation and hook-up
to external devices that a problem will arise.
If after connecting external devices to the operator, you encounter problems, the trouble often lies in the external
devices or in the wiring leading to the external devices. Verify all external wiring making certain that there are no
wires pinched anywhere shorting to ground and that there are no voltages being sent into the control circuit. The
operator functions ONLY with dry contacts: all voltages necessary for proper functioning are generated by the
operator transformer.
The following trouble-shooting guide (TABLE 3) will help you identify the source of the problem given a
particular symptom.

TABLE 3 TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
Door will not
respond to “open”
or “close” push-
button.
Chain hoist is engaged which
activated the disconnect switch
Pull on chain slightly in each direction in order to
disengage the chain hoist and return the operator
to electrical operation. Check switch otherwise.
Motor has overworked and the
overload thermal protection has
tripped.
Reset the overload protection: press reset button
located on the side of the unit for a single phase
operator. For a three phase operator, the thermal
switch is inside the motor, let motor cool and
restart operator. Is the door unbalanced?
Circuit breaker tripped (if used).
Replace fuse. If control circuit fuse keeps blowing:
Disconnect all external devices. Leave power
terminals connected. Run the operator artificially
by using jumpers and shorting out the appropriate
terminals as indicated in the Start-Up and Testing
Guide. Then reconnect the various external
devices one by one until you find the one causing
the short to ground.
OR: If you have an ohm-meter, use it to check all
incoming wires for continuity to ground. The meter
should read infinity in all instances. If there is
conduction between any control circuit wire and
ground, this indicates a leak to ground and this is
why the control circuit fuse blows when power is
applied.
In some cases, the trouble is intermittent: i.e. the
fuse only blows at certain times. This problem is
more difficult to detect, but again: disconnect all
wires going to external devices, and run the
operator: if the fuse does not blow, this indicates
that the trouble resides outside the operator.
Defective "stop" push-button.
Loose connection in one of the pushbuttons.
Verify, tighten or replace.
Defective "open" or "close" pushbutton.

Close limit switch.
A "Close" command is being given.
Check "Close" push-button or any closing
device for short-circuit.
Radio-control does
not function or
hesitates for 10
seconds before
working.
It is normal for a radio receiver to take
up to 10 seconds to "warm-up" before
being fully operational. Therefore,
when applying power for the first
time, the radio-control will take 10
seconds before becoming fully
operational.
Check protocol code pins of the transmitter and
receiver: they must be the same. Press on the
transmitter and listen to the receiver: you should
hear a faint click. The transmitter battery may
be dead or your receiver may need servicing.
To test for radio-control function, short out
momentarily terminals 7 and 8 on the terminal
strip. Operator should function normally. Have
the radio-control verified: the mini-relay inside
the receiver may be defective.
Motor hums, starts
when spun.
Capacitor defective. (single phase
only)
Motor fails to shut off
at fully closed or
opened positions.
Operate limit switch manually while door is
moving. If door does not stop, replace switch.
Limit cams are not adjusted.
Limit drive chain broken.
Loose sprocket on limit shaft.
Limit shaft does not rotate.
Verify and replace accordingly.
Motor turns but door
does not move.
One of the reduction chains is broken
Motor hums or does
not run.
Verify manual operation of door.
Dead phase (three phase supply).
Check power supply, fuses on each phase.
Limit switches do not
hold their setting.
Loose drive or limit chain allows chain
to jump sprocket teeth.
Adjust chain to proper tension
Limit cam retainer not engaging slots
in limit cams.
Be sure retainer is in slots of BOTH cams.
Limit cams are binding on shaft
threads which allows them to jump
position on retainer.
Lubricate shaft threads. Limit cams should turn
freely.
Radio-control opens
and reverses the
door, but when the
door is fully opened,
will close the door a
little and bounce
back to the open
position again. Door
cannot be closed
except by the "close"
push-button.
The Advanced Open limit switch is
insufficiently advanced from the full
Open limit switch. The contact of the
radio-control receiver is maintained
for 1.5 seconds when a command is
issued by the radio transmitter.
Therefore, when the door is fully
opened, and a pulse is sent from the
transmitter, the receiver maintains the
contact closed for 1.5 seconds. If the
door has closed and the Advanced
Open limit switch has returned to its
normal state, the reversing relay will
be activated, and the door bounces
back to the open position.
Adjust the Advanced Open limit switch by
bending the limit switch lever punch away from
the travelling cam and more towards the Open
limit switch.
