General Safety Instructions
• These Installation and Operating Instructions (MBA) must be read,
understood and observed by the person installing, operating or
maintaining the drive mechanism.
• The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage or malfunctions caused
by failure to follow theses Operating Instructions.
• Make sure that these Operating Instructions are readily accessible in the
garage.
• Observe and comply with the locally applicable accident prevention
regulations and EC standards.
Our new garage door drive mechanisms 'marathon 550 SL' 'marathon 800
SL' and 'marathon 1100 SL' combine reliability with innovation. The new
'marathon 550 SL' range replaces the current 'marathon S 550 N',
marathon S 800 N' and 'marathon S 1100 N' models whilst offering new
functions and connecting options (e.g. soft run, 2nd button, interface for
TorMinal, etc.).
As the connection set-up of the 'marathon 550 SL' control unit is not
compatible with the current 'marathon' models, the latter can only be
upgraded to 'marathon SL' models by replacing the control unit as a whole
or converting the control unit housing.
Furthermore, the new drive is supplied with our new radio control system
based on a frequency of 868.8 MHz, which offers enhanced security
standards. The system features rolling code technology, where the code is
changed for each new radio command, thus offering optimum security.
• Only install the drive mechanism to correctly aligned and weightbalanced doors. An incorrectly aligned door could cause serious injury or
damage to the drive mechanism.
• Doors that operate automatically by means of the drive mechanism must
comply with the following standards: EN 12604, EN 12605.

Safety Instructions for Radio-controlled
Operation
• The radio remote control may only be used for equipment and systems in
which defective remote operation of the transmitter or receiver does not
constitute a risk to people, animals or objects, or in cases where this risk
is eliminated by means of additional safety facilities.
•
Use of the radio remote control in conjunction with equipment or systems
subject to an enhanced risk of accident (e.g. crane systems) is prohibited!
• To ensure safe operation, local safety regulations relevant to the
equipment concerned must be observed! Information regarding this can
be obtained from electricity suppliers, the VDE and employers' liability
insurance associations.
• The user must be made aware of the fact that the remote control of
equipment with accident risk potential may only occur, if at all, when the
equipment concerned is clearly visible.
• Radio remote control may only be used if movement of the door can be
supervised and there are no persons or objects in the area of movement.

Installation Tips
• Check that all the parts have been supplied before you start installation
work in order to save time and unnecessary work if a part is missing.
• The drive mechanism can be installed to one side of the door if it cannot
be installed at the centre. It is important to note that the door does not
bend as a result and jam in the guide rails.
Check
Open and close the door several times by hand holding it at the point
where you intend fitting the drive mechanism. If the door can be moved
in this way without difficulty (in compliance with the above forces), then
the drive mechanism can be fitted at this point.
• Emergency Release
In the case of a garage without a separate entrance (e.g. slip door), the
emergency release of the drive mechanism must be operable from the
outside. To this end, you should fit a Bowden wire or a release lock,
accessible from the outside. See 'Accessories' section.
• Door lock
With doors supplied without the current door locking system, opening
approximately 50 mm by hand, this should be replaced by a spring latch.
This spring latch can be connected across the locking set to the drive, so
that when the door opens the spring latch locks first and then the drive
starts to open the door. Spring latches can be built onto the left, right or
middle of the door. Ask your dealer for details.
• Canopy doors
As the mechanical lock of a door with a drive mechanism has to be
dismantled or activated, it is possible to open the door manually up to
approx. 50mm depending on the door construction.
In order to accommodate this, spring latches that lock the door in
addition to the drive can be mounted. These spring latches are
connected to the drive via a locking set in order to first unlock the spring
latches before a drive opens the door when opening the door.
• Installation should be carried out quickly and safely by two persons
• All-round or side-sectional door
The polarity of wires 12 + 13 of drives that have to push one the
above-mentioned doors open has to be changed. See marathon SL
Control Unit fig. 29.1 terminal 12 + 13.

Safety Tips
• Installation, connection and initial operation of the drive mechanism may
only be carried out by qualified specialists.
• Do not operate the door when people, animals and/or objects are in its
area of movement.
• Keep children, disabled persons and animals away from the door.
• Door installation should be carried out by two persons, thus ensuring
safe and fast completion of the work involved.
• Safety goggles should be worn when drilling the mounting holes.
• Cover the drive mechanism up when drilling to ensure it does not get
soiled.
Before Installation
Very important to note!
The walls and ceiling must be firm and stable. Only fit the
drive mechanism to a correctly aligned door. A door that has
not been aligned correctly can cause serious injuries.
• Doors that operate automatically by means of the drive mechanism must
comply with the following standards: EN 12604, EN 12605.
• Doors must be stable because they are subjected to high tensile and
compressive forces. Light doors made of plastic or aluminium must be
strenghtened before installation if necessary. Ask your specialist retailer
for advice.
• Remove door locking system or disable same.
• Check that the door runs easily.
• The door must be balanced.
Test :
Manually open the door half-way. It must stay still in this position. If the
door moves downards or upwards, mechanically readjust it. Ask your
specialist retailer for advice.
• If the drive mechanism requires a rail extension to be installed, it is
essential that the second ceiling mounting be fitted for this purpose.
• Check the clearance between the door's highest up-position (THP, see
fig. 16) and the ceiling. The minimum clearance is 35 mm and the
maximum 100 mm, whereby the drive arm can only be at an angle of
max. 30°. If the clearance is less than is permissible, the drive
mechanism has to be moved back and an extended drive rail fitted.
Ask your local stockist for advice.

Installing Slip-door Facility or Release Lock
• If your garage door is fitted with a slip door but no slip-door safety facility,
you need to have one installed (see 'Accessories' instructions).
• If your door has no slip door and your garage has no separate entrance,
install a release lock or Bowden wire to facilitate drive mechanism
release from the outside (see 'Accessories' instructions).
Fitting and Connecting Push-button
Very important to note!
When operating the push-button, the user should not stand in
the door's area of movement and must have a clear view of
the door.
Never run the push-button cable along a power cable as this can cause the
control unit to malfunction. The push-button cable is supplied connected to
the control unit.
• Install push-button (1) in an appropriate, easily accessible location
inside the garage. Minimum height from floor - 1.6 m.
Do not install the push-button in the door's area of movement.
• Install connection cable (2) inside the garage.
Connect end of cable to push-button (1).
Useful Tip!
The Funkcody, a radio-operated interior switch and a key switch
are other possible pulse generators that could be used. No
connecting cable to the drive mechanism need be fitted with the
Funkcody and the radio-operated interior switch. Contact your
local stockist for advice.
