2 Product description 2.1 Function and design of this door The model Re-Coil-Away is a vertically opening door. 2.1.1 Principle The door assembly consists of left and right side frames and a header assembly. The header assembly contains the curtain and the drive system already attached. The bottom beam is already attached to the curtain. Door comes standard with a balance system. The Re-Coil-Away door rolls the curtain material directly on and off a barrel assembly.
Product Description 2.2.1 Additional Safety systems Depending on the kind of application it may be useful to have additional sensors as safety features. This is especially true for a door with a high volume of human traffic or with low sized doors with a height under 10 feet (3m). Albany Door Systems offers a variety of safety systems for high-speed doors. Some examples could be any of the following: Light beam barriers, motion detectors, induction loops.

Product Description 3 Safety advice 3.1 Area of application. The M&I Re-Coil-Away is used for the closing of door openings preferably in industrial buildings that are highly used area of automobiles or heavy equipment. As a flexible exterior door with resistance against wind and weather conditions, the door opens with a speed that is especially suitable for heavy traffic throughways. It ensures a smooth transport flow and reduces collisions.
Safety advice 3.3 Safety symbols explanation The following safety symbols are used in the enclosed operation manual. These symbols should advise the reader of the important text they should read closely. These symbols point to existing danger for life and health of persons or the machine, material or the environment.
Safety Advice • In power loss condition the electrical drive for the door curtain can be unlocked using the disengagement chains and then the curtain hand chained upwards. When the disengage lever has been engaged the control system has been disable. • During operation of the door do not stick your hands in the side frames. Keep hands and feet clear of the door at all times. Stay clear of the door while it is operating. • Human traffic should be avoided within the working area of the door.
4 Storage and transport 4.1 Storage The partly pre-assembled door is delivered in a crate. An undamaged crate makes it possible to store the door externally for some days. The crate must be stored on even ground. The crate must not be removed before the start of installation. 4.2 Dimensions of the fitted door See technical drawings in the section 11 4.3 Devices and aids allowed for the transport The door should be lifted in such a way that tilting the crate sideways is avoided. 4.
5 Installation 5.1 Inspection of the shipment The M&I Re-Coil-Away door is mostly pre-assembled before leaving the factory. The side frames together with the top roll are attached to a pallet at the time of leaving the factory. The door must be checked for possible transport damage and that all the components ordered with the door are with it. Check against the order statements. 5.2 Installation preparations Check the installation place with regard to the necessary fixing points and setup.
Installation 5.3 Starting the install 5.3.1 Setting up the side fames NOTE: Some wall surfaces are not ideal and may require shimming to keep the side frames square to each other. This will help eliminate photocell misalignment problems and curtain binding issues. The door is usually centered over the door opening. Also at this time establish a level line or mark on each side of the door opening (must be marked in order to establish a reference height in case of an uneven floor).
Installation 5.4 Preparing the header assembly for lifting Loosen and remove the lower idler barrel bolt (figure 5) and move the idler barrel out of the way (figure 6) before lifting the header assembly. Figure 6 Figure 5 5.4.1 Lifting locations There are eyebolts for lifting the header assembly into place, located on the header plates. Attach cable or chain that is rated for the weight of the header assembly. Be sure to balance the header assembly before lifting into place.
Installation 5.4.2 Lifting with a fork lift WARNING: You must not ever lift using the bottom beam or the idler barrel between the forks and the header assembly, damage can occur. You can place the forks of the forklift up under the top roll (figure 9). Not the header framework or the Idler Barrel, if done DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. Be careful to have the header assembly properly balance on the forks. Secure the header assembly to the forks to help prevent from falling.
Installation 5.5 Installing the Header While lifting the Header, align the holes on the installed side frames with the holes in the header assembly. Note that the idler barrel-bearing has been moved out of the way Never leave the header assembly unattended without fully bolting the header assembly to the side frames, or before removing lifting device and or leaving general area of the door installation. Figure 10 Once you have aligned the header, bolt the assembly to the side frames.
Installation 5.6 Drive Chain Tension Figure 11 is a finished header assembly that has been installed. Also note the idler barrel has been bolted back into place back. Chain tension should be checked after the door is cycled a few times. Slack side The M&I drive chain is to be tensioned so the deflection of the slack side (bottom side) of the chain is equal to 2% of the distance between the shafts. For door over 12’ x 12’ this value is 3/8” (9.5 mm). For doors under 12’ x 12’ this value is 9/32” (7.1 mm).
Installation 5.7 Counter Balance Springs Figure 13 5.7.1 Pre-charging Springs The springs must be pre-charged with the door curtain in the up position. This pre charge amount is listed on the spring bracket, this should be should be stamped with numbers for example 3 S and 4 T. With S standing for the amount of pre-stretch in inches and T for amount of pre turns. You also stretch the spring at this time; this amount is also located on the same tag.
Installation 5.8 Closing the side frames Open the side frame covers as shown in figure 16. Bring the curtain down so it travels behind the idler barrel and down into the guides of the side frame. (If you need to get the bottom beam behind the idler barrel you can remove the bottom bolt on each side of the idler barrel, and swing it down out of the way.) Figure 16 Next figure 17 shows the guides closed and set to the proper clearance gap. This gap is a minimum of ½” (13 mm).
Figure 17 Installation 5.8 Hand Chain Operator The operator is equipped with an emergency chain hoist and floor-level disconnect mechanism to operate the door manually, if necessary. To manually operate the door: Pull the disconnect chain downwards to the “disengaged” position (See figure 14a). A positive engaging coupling disengages the initial drive mechanism from electrical operation and transfers it to manual chain hoist drive. A switch disconnects the electrical controls to prevent injuries.
Installation 5.9 Adjustment of limit switches 1) Remove the cover of the electrical enclosure. 2) Manually raise the door to a nearly open position. 3) Depress the travelling cam retaining bracket and rotate the Open cam (figure 18). Note: turning the cam towards the center of the shaft increases the door travel. Turning the cam towards the switch decreases the travel. 4) Manually rotate The Open cam until it depresses the Open limit switch sufficiently so as to hear the switch click.

Utilizing a 3/8” wrench, unbolt the hinged front guide plates of both the left and right guides. Swing the front guide plates open and place them to the side. In the event that only the upper portion is hinged, raise the curtain and bottom bar until the bottom bar front angle is just below the open hinged portion.
Service & Repair 6. 7. Mix the adhesive as per the manufacturer's instructions and apply a liberal coating to the nylon cord fabric and the rough surfaces of the inlay rubber segments. Allow pieces to dry to the touch (about 15 to 20 minutes) and apply a second coating. Allow to set until tacky. Place the inlay segments into position and, using a rubber or rawhide mallet and a steel buckler, impact the entire area of the patch repeatedly. A high degree of impact ensures proper adhesion.
