Important instuctions for a safe installation. Observe all assembly instructions. Incorrect installation can cause serious injury.

The rail is largely reassembled and consists of 3 parts. The carriage, push rod, release handle, the guide pulley and the lintel bracket with belt pensioner are in the front part (A). The seating for the drive shaft and the sprocket are in the rear part (B). Lay the front and rear rail sections one behind the other.

1. Remove cable ties that secure the belt.
2. Pull apart the two rail sections completely in order to create a gap for the middle section (C). This rail is designed in such a way so as to easily add the middle section. Slide the 2 connecting pieces (D) over the seams of the rail sections up to the markings. To secure the connecting pieces, bend the sheet metal lugs outwards with a suitable tool.

The assembly of the rail is complete.

Tighten the belt

Tighten the belt of the rail until the spring (1) is compressed only by about half. The spring must compress and be able to bounce during operation.

Fitting rail to the drive

1. Check if the belt is seated on the gear-wheel. If the belt has slipped off during assembly, relax the belt, lay it and tighten again.
2. Turn around the rail (A) and completely put on the opener (C) with the gear side (B).
3. Secure the rail on the opener with two mounting brackets (10) and the screws (22).

Optional:
To reduce the total overall length by 140 mm the drive can be rotated by 90°. This allows access and programming sideways. Unscrew the switch and mount it to the designated second position. Remove the rubber plug in order to seal the cable exit. Proceed with step 3. The change must be made by an authorized electrician.

Centre of the garage door

Eye protection goggles should be worn for overhead work.
All available barriers / locks should be deactivated to avoid damage to the door.
To avoid serious injuries, remove all cables and chains connected to the door before installing the door opener. The door opener should be mounted at a height of at least 2.10 m above the ground.
First, mark the centre line of the door (1). Draw a line to the ceiling starting from this point.
For installation on the ceiling, draw another line to the center of the ceiling (2) perpendicular to the door starting from this line. Length approx. 2.80 m.

Mounting header bracket

Note: Mount the rail max. 50mm above the top edge of the door.Depending onthe door type, the top edge of the door is lifted by a few cm during opening

A. Wall fastening:
Mount header bracket (6) centrally on the vertical centre line (2); thereby its lower edge lies on the horizontal line. Mark all holes for the header bracket. Pre-drill holes with 4.5 mm diameter and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (21).
Note: In case of mounting on a concrete slab / concrete header, the provided concrete plugs (23) and screws (21) should be used. Drill hole size in concrete: 8 mm.
B. Ceiling suspension:

Mark all holes for the header bracket. Drill holes with 4.5 mm diameter and fasten the header bracket with wood screws (21).

Attaching drive to header

It may be necessary to place the drive temporarily higher, so that the rail does not hit the springs in sectional doors. The drive must either be well supported (ladder) or held firmly by a second person. Put drive head on garage floor under the lintel bracket. Lift rail up till the holes of the fixing part and the holes of the lintel bracket are aligned. Insert screw (15) through the holes and secure with nut (16).

Hang opener

Fully open the door, put down door opener on the door (Fig. A). Lay a piece of wood / cardboard on the marked spot (X).

The opener must be securely fastened to a structural support of the garage.
Three representative installations are shown (Fig. B). Yours may be different. Hanging brackets (11) should be angled to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings, attach support bracket(not delivered) to a self-supporting structio-nal element before installing the opener. For concrete ceiling mount, use concrete anchors (23) provided.
On each side of opener measure the distance from the opener to the structural support (or ceiling). Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend or twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at the bracket holes. Drill 4,5mm pilot holes in the structural supports (or ceiling). Attach brackets to supports with wood screws (21).
Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with screw (17) and nut (18). Check to make sure rail is centered over the door. Remove piece of wood / cardboard. Operate door manually. If door hits the rail, raise header bracket.

After the installation of the garage door drive, particularly using a rail extension, if the rail is observed to be bent up or down for more than 5 cm during the beginning or end of the travel as well as while encountering an obstacle, a central suspension must be provided by the customer. For this, please contact the manufacturer of the garage door drive

Pay attention to a horizontal course of the rail along the ceiling.The distance can be adjusted by the given hole spacing. Protruding ends of the ceiling fixture can be reduced if necessary.

Mounting door bracket

Installation in sectional or one-piece doors:
The door bracket (7) has multiple mounting holes. Attach door bracket top centre on the inside of the door as shown. Mark holes and screw door bracket

1. One-piece or sectional door with a guide rail: distance to door top edge 0-100 mm.
2. Sectional door with two guide rails: distance to door top edge 100-130 mm

NOTE: The attachment point on the door must be the frame or a stable place on the door panel. If necessary, drill through and screw (not included) together as shown in Fig. B

   • Is the remote control button jammed in position „ON“?
   • Use only original remote controls! The use of third-party products leads to disturbances.
   • The remote control button was pressed accidentally (pocket).
   • Cable of the wall switch is damaged (remove for testing purposes).
   • An accessory connected to the opener causes the drive (remove for testing purposes).

5. Door does not close completely:

   • Re-programme stretch of way of the opener. Check for alterations in the mechanical components, e.g. door arms and fittings. After each new setting of the door position ‘Closed’, the automatic safety reverse should be checked for function.

6. The door opens, but does not close:

   • If installed, the photocells should be checked. If the LED at the photocells blink, the alignment should be checked.
   • Check remote control or wall switch for function.

7. Operator light doesn’t turn on:

   • Open or close door. The light remains switched on for 2.5 minutes.
   • Disconnect opener from the mains and connect again. The light comes on for a few seconds.
   • No power.

8. Operator light doesn’t turn off:

   • Disconnect the power from the mains supply for a short time and try again.
   • The 2.5 minutes are not yet over.

9. Motor hums and runs very briefly, but does not function:

   • Garage door springs are defective. Close the door and disconnect from the opener by pulling on the handle of the carriage (manual release). Open and close door manually. If the door is properly balanced, it is held at each point of the doorway by the door springs alone. If this is not the case, contact your service centre.
   • If this problem appears during the first use, the door may be locked. Deactivate door lock.
   • Release opener from the door and try without door. If the door is fine, reprogramme operating force and stretch of way.

10. Opener works only in one direction:

    • Door springs may be defective or the door is stiff in one direction.
    • If the door is fine, re-programme operating power and stretch of way of the opener.

11. The belt rattles on the rail:

    • Adjust the belt tension. The cause is usually a very tight chain/belt. The spring on the clamping device of the rail must not be compressed completely.
    • The door runs unevenly and makes the drive vibrate. Improve door run.

12. Opener will not start due to power failure:

    • Disconnect from the opener by pulling on the handle on the carriage (manual release). The door can now be manually opened and closed. If the opener is re-activated, the carriage also gets re-connected.
    • If installed, the carriage is detached from the drive in case of power failure by an external emergency release from outside the garage.

13. Door reverses after the force was programmed:

    • See if the rail bends. The opener requires a lot of power to move the door. Repair or install door correctly.
    • Door is very heavy or in poor condition. Call a specialist.

14. Rail bends on the opener:

    • Door is heavy, very heavy, stiff or in poor condition. Call a specialist.
    • A swing of the rail while moving is a sign of an unevenly functioning door with constantly changing power requirements. Call specialist, possibly lubricate door. An additional suspension on the rail can be a remedy.

15. Rail bends on the opener:

    • Door is heavy, very heavy, stiff or in poor condition. Call a specialist.
    • A swing of the rail while moving is a sign of an unevenly functioning door with constantly changing power requirements. Call specialist, possibly lubricate door. An additional suspension on the rail can be a remedy.

16. The opener „runs“ (audible turning of motor) but the carriage does not move:

    • The carriage is released from the opener.
    • In a new installation: During the assembly of motor and rail, the pre-assembled adapter sleeve between the motor shaft and the rail was not installed. This sleeve is pre-assembled at factory, but can be removed. Standing behind the opener it can be observed whether the gearwheel turns in the rail or just the motor.
    • In a new installation: The belt has come off from the gearwheel in the rail. Standing behind the opener, you can see the gearwheel.
    • After years of use: Is the release defective or continuously disengaged?
    • After years of use: The sleeve between rail and motor or the motor control gear is defective.

17. The door releases by itself from the carriage and stops:

    • An external release that has been installed during a power failure should be checked whether it stretches and releases during the opening of the door. Watch the mechanism and reset if necessary.
    • The handle of the release mechanism should not get caught in other items.

18. Setting the Force
    • The force setting button is located behind the cover at the operators backside. The force setting regulates the amount of power required to open and close the door.

19. Open cover on the backside of the opener. Locate the yellow round
    button.

20. Push the yellow round button twice to enter unit into Force Adjustment Mode. The LED (3) (indicator light) and the UP button will flash. Push UP button. The operator will travel to the UP position learning the required amount of force. Once the UP limit is reached the LED and the DOWN button a start to flash. Push DOWN button. The operator will travel to the DOWN position learning the required amount of force.

Diagnostic Chart

Your garage door opener is programmed with self-diagnostic capabilities. The UP and DOWN arrows on the garage opener flash the diagnostic codes.

or wires may be cut. Inspect sensor wiresfor a disconnected or cut wire.
1| 1| The garage door opener will not close and the light bulbs flash.| There is a short or reversed wire for the safety sensors. Inspect safety sensor wire at all staple points and connection points and replace wire or correct as needed.
1| 2| The door control will not function| The wires for the door control are shorted or the door control is faulty. Inspect safety sensor wire at all staple points and connection points and replace wire or correct as needed
1| 3| The garage door opener will not close and the light| Safety sensors are misaligned or were momentarily obstructed. Realign both sensors to ensure both LEDs are steady and not flickering. Make sure nothing is hanging or mounted on the door that would interrupt the sensors path while closing
1| 4| Door moves 6-8“ stops or reverses.| Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions, such as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. Check wiring connections at travel module and at the logic board. Replace travel module if necessary
1| 5| No movement, only a single click| Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions, such as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. Replace logic board if necessary.
