Part 7:

Install Signal Senders

A.

At this point the door, the operator, and the control box should work. The installation of signal senders is complicated and where the most problems gener- ally occur. Be sure to follow these directions carefully. Signal senders include: hose switches, pull cords, electric eyes, magnetic loop detectors, radio remotes, reversing edges or any combination of these.

B.

Use common bell or thermostat wire to connect the signal senders to the automatic control box. All of these devices use 24 volts AC. It may be necessary to have a licensed electrician install these controls. Check local building ordinances.

C.

Connect no more than one signaling device at a time. Make certain that each device works independently before connecting the next one.

Note: If you have trouble with installation, call Ultimate Products at 1(800)542-7221 between 9A.M. and 5P.M. EST for free advice. After 5, leave a voice-mail message and your call will be returned the next business day.

Part 8:

Troubleshooting

The troubleshooting section covers problems for a door that will not move. If your door is working, but not to your satisfaction, go to Part 6--Door Speed Adjustments and Fine- Tuning.

There are only 5 areas of trouble:

The door and its hardware

The operator and its connections

The control box and the air valve

The air compressor and the air line

The signal senders

A.

Have someone operate the door and listen for air which exhausts through the valve mounted in the control box.

1.If you hear air, the problem is in the door or the operator. See 8B--Fixing Door or Operator Prob- lems.

2.If you do not hear air, the problem is in the controls. Go to 8C--Fixing Control Problems.

B.

Fixing Door or Operator Problems

1.Check the operator and the chain or belt. If the operator piston moves up and down when operated and the door doesn’t move, the problem is in the connection between the door shaft and the sprocket (slipping sprocket), or the chain/belt and the piston shaft (loose chain/belt, collar or broken chain/belt).

2.If the pistons don’t move when the door is operated and it is expelling air, either the air pressure is not set high enough to raise the door, or the door is binding. Check the air-pressure gauge on the control box. It should be about 50-60PSI. Increase the air pressure about 5PSI at a time until the door moves. Do not exceed 90PSI. If the door still doesn’t move, listen for air leaks near the operator. There should not be air leaking when the door is stationary. If it is leaking, go to Part 11--Rebuild Kits.

3.If the door is still not moving then the problem is with the door itself or the hardware. Visually check the door for a broken spring, uneven counterbal- ances, binding track, or bent rollers. If nothing is wrong, move to step 4.
