Mechanism for operating vertical-opening garage doors: sectionals
doors (fig.3), overhead spring-balanced doors (fig.4). For doors not
fitted with guide rails (fig.5), this mechanism can be provided with
an adaptor kit (the door cannot be fully opened) that is not included
in the box. For sectional doors (fig.3) a stop must be fitted on the
guide rail to block movement during opening.
DESCRIPTION AND MEASUREMENTS TO COMPLY
Before starting, make sure the door is correctly balanced and
slides smoothly.

Before beginning to install the gear motor, some considerations
must be made in order to make each subsequent step easier.
Make sure there is a clearance of at least 40/120 mm between the
ceiling and the highest sliding point of the door (fig. 8).
N.B.: if the measure is less than 40/120 mm, it is not
recommended to install it.
In the case of sectional doors, check that the upper guide roller is
in the horizontal part of the guide when the door is closed (fig. 8).
Make sure the chain guide is always at the same distance
from the floor when mounting.
Align the chain guide with the overhead door as shown in fig. 9. Y4
must be equal to or greater than the thickness of the door (plus 1
cm) to ensure that it doesn't touch the chain guide when opening.
Important: make sure that the angle formed by the door when
it is fully open (α° fig. 8) is greater than 90°. If necessary,
install rubber bumpers on the overhead door.
STANDARD ACCESSORIES (fig.10)
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY (fig.11)
1_ Straighten the two tracks as shown in the drawing (fig.12).
2_ Slide the coupling so as to join the tracks together (fig.13) and
adjust the stroke of the shoe using the 2 supplied plates (detail
A fig. 13).
SECURING THE SUPPORTING RODS TO THE GEAR
Prepare to fix the gearmotor and track to the ceiling as follows:
-
fix the omega bracket to one of the perforated rods attached to
the Skybox safety guard (fig.14);
-
bend the rod so that it can be fixed to the ceiling (A fig.14);
-
similarly, fix the second perforated rod to the butterfly bracket
halfway along the track and bend it so that it, too, can be fixed
to the ceiling (fig.15).
First fix the anchor bracket (A fig. 16) of the chain guide to the
doorframe or wall with self-tapping screws or expansion bolts,
making sure it is firmly secured.
As described at the beginning of this booklet, observe the
installation measurements and make sure the overhead door is
properly aligned so that its weight is perfectly balanced.
The second thing to do (see fig.17) is to move the unit to its
horizontal position and mark the positions of the holes required to
fix the perforated rods supporting the gear motor and the guide.

INSTALLING THE GUIDE
FINAL PART OF INSTALLATION
Now secure the perforated rods with the expansion bolts and make
sure they are well fastened.
Fix bracket B to the overhead door, as near as possible to the top
edge, using two self-tapping screws (fig.18a).
Lastly, plug in the motor and check that the unit works. After
installation, tighten the chain using a spanner to adjust the nut
(fig.18) which acts on the screw.
Then programme the electronic card by removing the motor casing
and following the instructions in the control card handbook.
INSTALLING THE EXTERNAL RELEASE DEVICE
If the garage has no other accesses, install the external release
device as shown in the figure 18a.
MANUAL MANOEUVRE FROM INSIDE OR RELEASE
The manual manoeuvre must be made exclusively with the door
stopped and after disconnecting power from the electrical control
unit.
FROM OUTSIDE: if the external release device is installed, turn
the handle and push the door.
FROM INSIDE: Pull the knob downwards and push the door.
NOTE:
from time to time, check that the mechanism
is working correctly, if necessary act on the
sheathing adjustment nuts.

Similarly to the wiring diagram, the diagram in Fig. 19 is only
approximate. The installer or purchaser must make sure that the
unit is fitted with all the devices required to ensure it works correctly
and smoothly, and install all the safety and/or signalling devices
required to ensure it complies with the relative standards. If this
is not done due to the installer's negligence or the purchaser's
irresponsibility, the manufacturer declines all liability for damage to
people and/or property.
MOTOR
The wiring diagram of the electrical installation is only indicative
and the cross-sections of the cables refer to a 24Vdc gear motor.
Always choose the shortest routes for the cables. A main switch
should be provided on the system, out of reach of unauthorised
people, allowing power to be disconnected from the gear motor for
maintenance purposes or if the gear motor remains inactive for a
long period of time.
Make the electrical connections as shown in fig. 19 which shows
a standard system with the layout of the various wires and the
position of the pull boxes, push button panels, key selector if there
is one and wall-mounted photocells. Then plug in the unit to power
the gear motor.
ADAPTER FOR OVERHEAD DOORS (150BAN) - IN-
The 150BAN is required to power overhead doors with
counterweights and mod. SKYBOXE/CE motors. The fitter must
first ensure that the existing structure is suitable by checking that:
