(1) If the minimum headroom above the garage door is less than 35 mm (see page 4)
you need a door-arm extension. The operator then must be mounted in the rear of
your garage.
(2) If your garage-door is higher than 2.25m a C-rail extension-piece is required.
Otherwise the garage-door will not open completely.
1. Make sure, that your garage-door runs smoothly. If necessary grease or oil certain
parts.
2. The enclosed fixing-material will be satisfactory for a standard-garage.
3. To explain the Fitting procedure we are using an up-and-over-door in this
handbook. The procedure remains the same for other types of door.
4. Pay attention to page 10 "Safety Instructions“
2 PRE-MOUNTING
Sketches on the left-hand side:
If the operator is to be fixed to the ceiling using the fixing-brackets in front of the
motor-head (looking from inside the garage to the garage door), then the fixing-profile
must be slid over the rail before premounting the whole rail. If the operator is to be
fixed to the ceiling from behind/above the motor-head the fixing-profile can be slid
over after the pre-assembly procedure.
During this procedure be careful not to twist the chain. Therefore do not lift the
parts; slide them along the floor.
1. The operator is laying unpacked in front of you. The motor-head unit is on your
right hand side.
2. Lay part (1) to the front.
3. Fix it through pushing the C-profile coupling piece (2) over it all the way home.
4. Slide C-rail part (3) in front of part (1)
5. Set part (3) in the C-rail coupling piece (4) at an angle, inserting it from above as
shown.
6. Press down part (3) to tension the chain.
7. Turn the operator over and screw in the milled nuts into the C-rail coupling pieces.
Your operator now is assembled for installation.
The chain has been pretensioned in the factory; do not change the chain tension!
ATTENTION:
The limit-switches of your operator have been put to a factory position. Do not change
this limit-switch adjustment until the operator is fitted to the ceiling and the garagedoor!
Otherwise the carriage could crash into the motor-head unit when the operator is
running without being fitted!
This would cause great damage to your operator!

Before fitting the operator to the ceiling we recommend you detach the motorhead unit; mounting the C-rail will then be easier. You will find the instructions on
how to detach the motor-head on page 4.
Measure the distance between the ceiling and the highest point reached by the
garage door (1).
The minimum headroom necessary for mounting the operator is 35 mm. If there is
less headroom please pay attention to page 2.
The front fixing-angle can be mounted either on the lintel or on the ceiling.
1. Measure the middle of your garage-door and make a mark on the lintel and
the top of your door.
2. Fix the front fixing-angle in the middle- either on the lintel or on the ceiling.
(We recommend the lintel if possible).
3. Attach the C-rail to the front fixing-angle (4). Put a piece of cardboard under
the motor-head unit to avoid damage.
4. To fix the motor-head to the ceiling we recommend you use a ladder (5). When
the operator is laying on the ladder you can open the garage-door. Adjust the Crail according to the mark you made in the middle of the garage-door.
Fix the operator to the ceiling when you have made sure the C-rail is running
straight to the front.
5. Now fix the door-arm to the garage-door. Take care that the angle between
the operator and the door-arm does not exceed a max. of 45° (it may be less).
6. Before running the operator dismount the doors locking-bolts! Otherwise
the operator cannot open the door and this will lead to damage to your
operator and the garage door.
If you would like additional security you can have door bolts fitted; please ask
your dealer about our locking set, which is available as an optional extra.

4 CONNECTING THE BATTERY
To prevent the battery from discharging while in stock the Solar FRI is delivered with
one disconnected battery cable. To use the operator this cable must first be plugged
onto the open battery connector (please refer to the sketches aside) - or else the
operator will not work.
ATTENTION! The batteries are delivered fully charged - the capacity will allow up to 80
openings/closings. All the necessary adjustments during the installation can therefore
be made easily (generally 5 to 20 openings/closings). Nevertheless it is recommended
to avoid any unnecessary operation. If, however, the low-voltage indicator becomes
active (e.g. the battery-capacity is about to fall below the necessary minimum voltage)
then the operator automatically switches off until the batteries have been completely
recharged (by the solar panel)!
5 ATTACHING AND DETACHING THE MOTOR HEAD
The sketches on the left show the attachment-procedure.
For the easier mounting of the C-rail (please refer to page 3) and to exchange the
batteries we recommend you detach the motor head from the C-rail.
The motor head is held in position by two fixing brackets. The brackets are secured by
one fixing-screw each. Loosening the fixing-screws enables the brackets to be turned procede as follows (the operator is lying in front of you, the housing is facing towards
you):
1. Slightly lift the fixing-brackets (away from the base-plate) - turn them to release the
C-rail.
2. Turn the motor-head counter-clockwise as far as possible
3. Pull the motor-head upwards to disconnect it from the C-rail.
To attach the motor-head to the C-rail please follow the procedure as shown in the
sketches on the left. Tighten the screws in the fixing-brackets to stop the brackets
turning by accident.
ATTENTION! The fixing-brackets are connected to electronic security-switches. If the
motor-head is not attached and fixed correctly to the C-rail the electric circuit is broken
- the operator will not work!
If, however, the motor-head starts turning after several operations because of
incorrect fixing then the electric circuit will be broken as well and the operator will not
work until the problem has been fixed.
