22. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS

To ensure continued safe operation and extended life of your operator system, periodic checking for proper operation is necessary. Occasional
maintenance and readjustment of your system may also be needed.

MONTHY:

 Check reversal system by performing

“safety reversal test” described in this
manual.

 Check proper operation of door by

manually moving door open and closed.
If door binds or sticks, or is out of balance
call for garage door service.

 Check and test photo eye safety system

as described in this manual.

ONCE EVERY

YEAR

 Keep door rollers, hinges,

and bearings properly
lubricated by following
recommended door
instructions or contacting
a door service company
in your area.

 Readjust operator travel limits and force settings as

necessary — due to cold weather, normal wear of door, etc.
The convenient adjustment instruction label on the operator
can be used for any periodic adjustments needed.

 Check and readjust belt tension, if necessary, in the unlikely

event that it loses its proper tension during the life of the
operator. Always check the reversal system after any adjust-
ment of travel limits or forces. A door operator that is not
checked could possibly be out of adjustment and be dangerous.

SOLUTION

2. ADVANCED FEATURES

This operator includes numerous state-of-the-art features to provide you, the user, with years of trouble-free, convenient, and safe
use of your automatic garage door operator.

 Advanced Digital Operating System EOS (Easy Operating System): The EOS digital system provides an
user friendly system set up. The system set up comprises of two programing levels, an “Initial Level” and an
“Advanced Level”. The EOS system requires only the initial set up parameters. All other operating parameters are
learned and set automatically by the system. In addition, the system optimizes all parameters with every cycle for
a more efficient operation by the GDO. This shorter parameter set up provides a quicker and more efficient
installation.

 Precision Controlled DC Motor, Complete with Automatic Soft Start and Soft Stop Feature: The operator
automatically detects when your door is almost fully closed or fully opened, and gradually slows the door down before it
reaches its fully closed or opened position. During start-up, the door starts moving slowly and gradually ramps up to full
speed for the full travel of your door. This reduces the possible damaging effects of the sudden starts and stops associated
with some other operators, and results in the smooth operation and increased service life of your door and hardward.

 Built-In Safety Features: Including patented drive system that delivers only the optimum power needed to move your
door safely - Every time!

 Modular Antenna Concept (patented): Plug-in your choice of frequency module.

 Photo Eye (Infrared) Safety System: State-of-the-art infrared beam system helps detect obstructions in the path of

your door and automatically reverses closing door travel, helping to protect persons and property near the door.

 Convenient Status Display: To indicate the status of your door operator at any time. Especially useful if troubleshooting
is necessary.

 Quiet, Smooth Operation: Precision engineering and carefully selected materials result in extremely smooth and quiet
operation, unmatched by conventional garage door operators.

 The EOS platform unifies all Marantec Products by design.

3. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

This manual is essential to the safe and proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your operator. Read and follow all
guidelines and operating instructions before the first use of this product. Store the manual in a safe, easily accessible location.

Operate the garage door operator at 120V, 60Hz to avoid operator damage.

Garage doors are heavy, moving objects. When coupled with an automatic operator, electrical power is also

present. If not properly installed, balanced, operated, and maintained, an automatic door can become
dangerous and cause serious injury or death. Please pay close attention to the WARNING and CAUTION notices
that appear throughout this manual. Failure to follow certain instructions may result in damage to the door or

door opener, or may result in severe injury or death to yourself or others.

WARNING means that severe injury or death could

result from failure to follow instructions.

CAUTION means that property damage or injury

could result from failure to follow instructions.

5. GARAGE

A garage door is a heavy moving object and can cause
serious injury or death. An unbalanced door might not

reverse when required, and can increase the risk of

injury. If your garage door is out of

balance, or if it binds or sticks, call for professional

garage door service. Garage doors, springs,

pulleys, cables, and hardware are under extreme tension

and can cause serious injury or death.

Do not try to adjust them yourself. Ropes left

on a garage door could cause someone to become

entangled and could kill them. Remove all ropes

connected to the door before installing your operator.

Take a moment to survey your garage and garage door.

 Is there an access door besides the garage door? If not, you

should install an emergency key release kit.

 With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and

garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than 1/4". If
the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before installing
operator.
 The operator is intended for installation on a properly balanced
and adjusted garage door. DO NOT INSTALL IF DOOR IS
UNBALANCED OR BROKEN.
 Check balance of door in mid travel and during full range of
opening and closing. Lift the door about half way, as shown in
Fig. 2. Release the door. It should remain in place,
supported by its springs. Raise and lower the door fully to
check for binding or sticking.

Sectional Door

 If door is out of balance or needs repair, DO NOT
ADJUST IT YOURSELF. CALL A QUALIFIED GARAGE
DOOR SERVICE PROFESSIONAL to adjust your door.
 If your door is over 7 ft. high, you will need a longer
rail. See Section 16 “Rail Assembly” on p. 26 of this

manual for availability of longer rails.

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass
or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of
the door both vertically and horizontally with steel

or angle iron bracing.

The best solution is to follow the instructions for your
particular garage door or contact the garage door
manufacturer for proper reinforcement instructions.

down force (page 19). REPEAT “TEST SAFETY REVERSAL” (page 21) AFTER ADJUSTMENT IS COMPLETE.

 LED #1 "ON" Check photo eye sensor wires, connections to the operator terminals. Refer to pages 12 and 13.
 LED #1 "Blinks" Check sensor alignment and sensor connections to the operator terminals 1 and 2. Refer to

pages 13 and 21.
 Increase force in down direction. REPEAT “TEST SAFETY REVERSAL” (page 21) AFTER ADJUSTMENT
IS COMPLETE.

 LED #1 "ON" Check photo eye sensor wires, connections to the operator terminals. Refer to pages 12 and 13.

 Is the wall control Light Feature on? Press Light Button to turn off. Refer to page 25.

 Door may be out of balance or springs are broken. To check balance, close the door and use emergency release knob

to disconnect trolley. Open and close door manually. A properly balanced door will hold itself halfway open while
being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not or the spring is broken, call for professional garage door service.

DO NOT increase the force to the operator to compensate for unbalanced or damaged door.

 Door may be locked with a manual door lock. Remove any manual door locks.
 Springs are broken or door is out of balance. (See “Situation” immediately preceding this one).
