C-Rail Assembly IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION Warning: Incorrect installation can lead to severe injury. Follow ALL installation instructions. Step 1 - Connect the Powerhead to the CRail Locate and insert the powerhead’s shaft into the C-Rail’s sprocket as shown in (Fig. 03). fig 03 Step 2 - Secure the C-Rail Fix the two track brackets as shown in (Fig. 04). Fix with the four screws supplied in accessory pack.
Determine the Door Type Step 3 - Determine Door Type Determine which type of garage door you have as illustrated below. (Fig. 05 to 07). For a sectional (panel) door on tracks (Fig. 05) proceed with the installation from Step 5. Track fig 05 Door Sectional door with track For a one-piece door on tracks (Fig. 06) proceed with the installation from Step 5. fig 06 One piece door with track For a one-piece door without tracks (on springs) (Fig. 07) proceed with the installation from Step 9.
Mounting on a Track Type Door Step 4 - Determine Bracket Position a. b. c. Open the door and find the highest point of travel of the top door panel. Using a level, transfer this height to the wall above the door (Fig. 08) and mark a line 60mm above it. Determine the centre point on the wall above and on top of the door. Draw two lines extending 21.5mm from each side of the centre point. (Fig. 09) Level Level Track Track fig 08 Door Door Step 5 - Mounting the Wall Bracket a. b. c.
Mounting on a non-Track Type Door WARNING: Make sure concrete, brick wall or timber lintels are solid and sound so as to form a secure mounting platform. Centre of Door Step 8 - Determine the Door’s Centre fig 12 a. b. Find the centre of the door and mark this location both above the door and on top of the door. Draw two lines 21.5mm either side of this (Fig. 12). Step 9 - Prepositioning the Opener a. b. c. Raise the door to open position.
Mounting Door Bracket & Arms Step 12 - Mounting Door Bracket The door bracket comes in two parts. The bottom plate with two mounting holes is used on its own for one piece doors. For sectional doors, the top plate is placed over the bottom plate and is fixed with four (4) screws (Fig. 16). a. b. fig 16 Mount the door bracket, or bracket assembly, on the door’s centre line one-third down the top panel (Fig. 16) using M6 or equivalent screws (not supplied), STEEL DOORS ONLY: Bracket can be welded in place.
Setting Limits NOTE: If P.E. Beams are to be used they must be installed before setting the travel limits. Step 14 - Remove Controls Cover Remove the controls cover to access the control panel Replace it when setup is completed. fig 20 Step 15.1 - Connect Power to the Powerhead Plug the power cord into a mains point and switch power on. The red CLOSE LIMIT LED will be flashing.
Setting Limits: via Transmitter The GDO-7v2 has the unique ability to set travel limits using the transmitter, allowing the installer to move around the garage and door to better assess the desired close and open limit positions. Step 16.1 - Power Up and Set the Datum fig 22 Follow Steps 15.1 to 15.3 as outlined overleaf. Observe all warnings! a. Step 16.2 - Code a Transmitter for Limit Setting a. b. c. Press and hold the DOOR CODE button (Fig. 22).
Safety Obstruction Force Test WARNING! Take care when testing or adjusting the Safety Obstruction Force. Excessive force may cause SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or PROPERTY DAMAGE. Step 17.1 - Testing Close Cycle fig 24 a. b. c. Press the OPERATE button to open the door (Fig. 24). Place a piece of timber approximately 40mm high on the floor directly under the door (Fig. 25). Press the OPERATE button to close door. The door should strike the object and start to re-open. Step 17.2 - Testing Open Cycle a. b.
Adjusting Safety Obstruction Forces Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force The Safety Obstruction Force is calculated automatically during setup. Adjusting this is normally only necessitated by environmental conditions such as windy or dusty areas, and areas with extreme temperature changes. fig 26 WARNING: Doors that exert more than 400N (40kgf) closing force must have a Photo Electric Beam (P.E.Beam, Model: PE-2) fitted for safety. a. b. c. d. Step 18.
