1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your Marantec

®

Professional Series Garage Door Opener System, the most innovative opener available today. This stylishly designed digital opener with a wide range of accessories is engineered to provide the smoothest, quietest and safest operation to compliment any home. Advanced technology results in the opener being capable of easily moving almost any properly balanced residential garage door, and at the same time providing state-of-the-art safety features to detect obstructions and to stop and reverse the door, thus helping to protect persons and property near the door.

2. ADVANCED FEATURES

This opener includes numerous state-of-the-art features to provide you, the user, with years of trouble-free, convenient, and safe use of your automatic garage door opener.

■ Precision Controlled DC Motor, Complete with Automatic Soft Start and Soft Stop Feature: The opener automatically detects when your door is almost fully closed or fully opened, and gradually slows the door down before it reaches its fully closed or opened position. During start-up, the door starts moving slowly and gradually ramps up to full speed for the full travel of your door. This reduces the possible damaging effects of the sudden starts and stops associated with some other openers, and results in the smooth operation and increased life of your door and hardware.

■ Built-In Safety Features: Including patented drive system that delivers only the optimum power needed to move your door safely—Every time!

■ Photo Eye (Infrared) Safety System: State-of-the-art infrared beam system helps detect obstructions in the path of your door and automatically reverses closing door travel, helping to protect persons and property near the door.

■ Convenient Status Display: To indicate the status of your door opener at any time. Especially useful if troubleshooting is necessary.

■ Quiet, Smooth Operation: Precision engineering and carefully selected materials result in extremely smooth and quiet operation, unmatched by conventional garage door openers.

3. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

5. GARAGE AND DOOR

Fig. 2

Sectional Door

A garage door is a heavy moving object and can cause serious injury or death. An unbalanced door might not reverse when required, and can increase the risk of injury. If your garage door is out of balance, or if it binds or sticks, call for professional garage door service. Garage doors, springs, pulleys, cables, and hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death.

Do not try to adjust them yourself. Ropes left on a garage door could cause someone to become entangled and could kill them. Remove all ropes connected to the door before installing your opener.

Take a moment to survey your garage and garage door.

■ Is there an access door besides the garage door? If not, you should install an emergency key release kit.

■ With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor. The gap, if any, should be no more than

1/4". If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before installing opener.

■ The opener is intended for installation on a properly balanced and adjusted garage door. DO NOT INSTALL IF

DOOR IS UNBALANCED OR BROKEN.

■ Check balance of door in mid travel and during full range of opening and closing. Lift the door about half way, as shown in Fig. 2 & 3. Release the door. It should remain in place, supported by its springs. Raise and lower the door fully to check for binding or sticking.

■ If door is out of balance or needs repair, DO NOT ADJUST

IT YOURSELF. CALL A QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR SERVICE

PROFESSIONAL to adjust your door.

■ If your door is over 7 ft. high, you will need a longer rail.

See section “15. Accessories” on p. 28 of this manual for availability of longer rails.

Fig. 3

One-Piece Door

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberlass or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of the door both vertically and horizontally with steel or angle iron bracing.

The best solution is to follow the instructions for your particular garage door or contact the garage door manufacturer for proper reinforcement instructions.

7. IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Check with the door manufacturer to determine if additional reinforcement is required to support the door prior to installation of the garage door opener.

3. Install garage door opener only on a properly balanced garage door. An improperly balanced door could cause serious injury. Have a qualified service person make repairs to garage door cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware before installing the opener .

4. Remove all ropes and remove or make inoperative all locks connected to the garage door before installing opener .

5. If possible, install the door opener 7 feet or more above the floor. Adjust the emergency release cord so that knob hangs 6 feet above the floor.

6. Do not connect the opener to source of power until this manual instructs you to do so.

7. Locate the wall control panel or wall button: (a) within sight of door, (b) at a minimum height of 5 feet above the ground so small children cannot reach it, and (c) away from all moving parts of the door.

8. Place the Operating Warning Label next to the wall control panel or wall button in a prominent location.

Affix Safety Label on inside of garage door. The Emergency Release Tag must remain on the emergency release cord.

9. After installing the opener, test Safety Reversal System. Door MUST reverse when it contacts a 1-1/2 inch high object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.

For Important Safety Instructions see page 21.

8. INSTALLATION STEPS

Identify a sound structural support on header wall above garage door for header bracket mounting. See Fig. 11. If appropriate header does not exist, replace or install a new support using a 2x4 or 2x6 board. Fasten it securely using lag screws (not provided) to structural supports of garage.

8-1. MEASURE AND MARK DOOR AREA

Before starting your installation, the door and the header above the door must be measured and marked. This way, the appropriate brackets can be mounted at the correct locations avoiding installation and operating difficulties later.

MARK VERTICAL CENTER LINE:

■ Measure door width, then locate the center point (Fig.10).

■ Mark a vertical line on the upper half of your door, on the top edge of your door, and on the header, through the center point.

MEASURE DOOR’S HIGHEST TRAVEL POINT:

(Review Figs. on p. 5 for details)

■ Open door to its highest travel point and measure from the garage floor to the top of door.

■ Write down this distance.

FOR SECTIONAL DOORS AND ONE-PIECE

DOORS WITH HORIZONTAL TRACK:

Add 1-1/4" to the door travel height (measured above).

FOR ONE-PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK:

Add 3-3/4" to the door travel height (measured above).

MARK HORIZONTAL LINE FOR HEADER

BRACKET LOCATION:

■ Close door and measure the required distance (determined above) from the garage floor to the header.

■ Mark a horizontal line, intersecting the vertical center line, on header. This is the position at which the bottom of the header bracket should be installed.

■ In case of minimal clearance above the door, the header bracket may be mounted to the ceiling. In this case, extend the vertical center line onto the ceiling, and mark a horizontal line on the ceiling no further than 4" from the header wall. The header bracket should be mounted no farther than this distance from the header wall.

8-2. INSTALL HEADER BRACKET

Fig. 10

If the header bracket is not rigidly fastened to a sound structural support on the header wall or ceiling, the safety reverse system may not work and could cause serious injury or death. DO NOT move or adjust springs or garage door hardware, as these parts are under extreme tension and could cause injury or death.

8-2. INSTALL HEADER BRACKET (cont’d)

■ Mark pilot holes location on header through holes where lag screws will be inserted. IMPORTANT: See Fig. 11 for which header bracket holes to use.

■ Drill 3/16" pilot holes into header, and install bracket with lag screws (5/16 x 1-5/8”) provided.

■ Tighten lag screws firmly.

NOTE: Follow the same procedure if header (shown in Fig.

11) runs vertically instead of horizontally and is the only option for mounting header bracket to header wall. In case of minimal clearance above the garage door, the header bracket may be mounted to the ceiling. Follow the same steps above to ensure a sound surface for mounting.

■ Support opener head slightly off the floor.

■ Lift the opposite end of the rail up to the header bracket.

■ Position rail end-stop within the openings in the header bracket. Insert header clevis pin ( 1/4” dia.) through rail end-stop and header bracket, then attach cotter ring to end of pin. (See Fig. 19A)

8-6. POSITION OPENER FOR MOUNTING

■ Once rail is attached to header bracket, support opener powerhead on ladder, or use the assistance of another person to support opener powerhead high enough so door can open without hitting the rail.

A. SECTIONAL DOORS AND ONE-PIECE

DOORS WITH TRACK:

■ Open garage door to fully opened position, and place a

2x4 laid flat between the door and the rail. See Fig.20.

■ The 2x4 provides an easy method of ensuring the correct mounting height of the opener.

B. ONE-PIECE DOORS WITHOUT TRACK:

■ Disconnect trolley by pulling down on emergency release knob. Move trolley toward opener head.

■ Open door all the way so that it is parallel to the floor, or slightly tilted toward the front of the garage. DOOR

SHOULD NOT BE TILTED TOWARD THE BACK OF GARAGE.

■ Position opener so that top of opener head is level with top of opened door.

■ To check for correct mounting height, temporarily position curved door arm as if connecting to door bracket. See Fig.

21. The long side of the arm should be parallel to the floor when door is fully opened. Raise or lower powerhead so that arm will be parallel to floor.

Emergency Release Cord

Use extreme care when pulling release knob.

DO NOT use knob to pull door open or closed.

Except for emergency situations, use knob only when door is closed.

The emergency release cord with red knob, which is already attached to the trolley, are extremely important parts of the opener system Fig. 27. Pulling the release cord disengages the door from the opener. This allows the door to be moved manually up and down independent of the opener motor.

If the door is in the open position, use extreme care when using the release.

Use emergency release to disconnect the door if the power is out. It should also be used if for some unforeseen reason the door strikes a person or object during its travel and does not automatically reverse off the obstruction.

To release door—pull firmly down on red knob. (Fig. 27)

Prior to re-engaging door, ensure that all obstructions are removed and door is operating properly manually. Before reengaging trolley with a chain or belt connector, pull down knob again, then release. The red catch will stop in the

“lock” position (see Fig. 27A). Now the door can be reconnected by moving it manually and bringing it into position when the connector is inside of the trolley.

The release cord and knob should be adjusted to hang 6 ft. above garage floor. To adjust:

■

■

■

Slide knob and tag up on cord.

Tie new knot at correct height.

Cut excess cord, leaving approximately 1”

after knot.

■ Heatseal end of cord with match or lighter

to prevent fraying.

■

■

Slide knob and tag back into place.

Check operation of emergency release.

8-15. CONNECT TO POWER

CORD AND PLUG:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your opener is provided with an insulated power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. The cord must be connected to a standard grounding outlet. If there is no outlet available at the location, you must have a qualified electrician install an approved grounded outlet in this area.

Fig. 35

Grounded

Outlet

To prevent electrocution or fire, installation and wiring must be done in accordance with local electrical and building codes. DO NOT use an extension cord. DO NOT use a 3 to 2 plug adapter. DO NOT modify or cut off the grounding pin on the plug.

■ Plug the opener into a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 35).

■ An indicator light (LED #8) on the opener control panel will turn on showing that the power is “On” and the opener is ready to set the adjustments.

■ DO NOT operate or run the opener at this time.

PERMANENT WIRING CONNECTION:

(If required by your local electrical code)

If local codes require your opener to be connected via permanent wiring instead of a cord and plug, your opener must be converted, as shown in Fig. 36. Contact a qualified electrician to run the necessary wiring to your opener and to perform the electrical connections.

Fig. 36

To prevent electrocution, disconnect the opener from power and turn off power at circuit breaker for the circuit you will be using to connect to the opener.

■ Remove opener housing by removing screw underneath the control panel cover and two screws from back of housing, then pulling the housing away from the chassis.

■ Remove screw and unsnap the power cord strain relief cover by disengaging the tabs, and remove this part (save for reattachment later).

■ Cut the power cord leads close to where the cord enters opener, so that after cut, there is at least 6" of wiring remaining (white-neutral, black-hot, and green-ground) inside the opener connected to the varistor and transformer.

■ Remove the cut power cord and plug and discard. Replace the strain relief cover by snapping tabs back into place.

■ Using a hammer and screwdriver or punch, knock out conduit hole, and bring in the permanent wiring and conduit.

■ Secure conduit to chassis (method varies depending on type of conduit used).

■ Attach the incoming power leads (hot, neutral, and ground) to the remaining internal wires using suitable wire nuts (not provided).

■ Reinstall opener housing and secure housing with screws.

Make sure that when reinstalling opener housing, no wires will be pinched between the housing and the chassis.

■ Complete the remaining installation.

■ Turn on power at breaker.

8-16. OPENER CONTROL PANEL DISPLAY

The control panel is located under the control panel cover.

Open the control panel by slightly pulling on the cover cutout, then allowing the cover to drop open. The hinges enable the cover to remain in place while you set the adjustments. See Fig. 37.

On control panel you will find 3 buttons labeled “P”, “+”, and “-”, which allows you to set all djustements of your opener and a circular LED display with 8 numbered icons which shows useful status information regarding the opener and its function. See Fig. 38, Fig. 38A.

LEDs #1, #3, and #5 are used when setting the adjustments or for troubleshooting, should a problem ever occur with your opener. See section “8-17. Setting The Adjustments” on p. 19, and section “17. Troubleshooting” on p. 30 for more information.

NOTE: When viewing control panel and setting the adjustments, stand below the opener and face the garage door.

Then look up at the display. This way you will easily be able to see both the display and the door.

8-17. SET THE ADJUSTMENTS

Any adjustment can be made at any time using these 3 buttons: “+“, “–”, and “P”. However, it is easiest during initial installation to follow the order shown below. Before beginning, install battery in your transmitter.

See Fig. 47, p. 22.

The adjustments that can be made are: Open Travel Limit,

Close Travel Limit, Maximum Opening Force, Maximum

Closing Force, and Transmitter Programming.

HANDY NOTE: If you follow the following steps, you will notice that when making the adjustments, and if no changes are needed at any particular stage, you can keep the current information and ”skip“ over a specific adjustment by pressing the “P” button once. This is useful to know if you want to change only one setting, without changing any of the other adjustments. Simply enter the adjustment mode by pressing and holding the “P” button for approximately

2 seconds, then press and release “P” repeatedly until your particular adjustment is reached. This bypasses the unneeded adjustments, and takes you right to the adjustment you want. When your adjustment or setting is complete, simply press “P” as many times as needed to bypass the remaining steps and exit out of the program, returning the opener to normal mode.

TO MAKE OR CHANGE ANY ADJUSTMENT:

Press and hold the “P” button for approximately 2 seconds.

When all LEDs illuminate and LED #2 begins to blink, release the button. You are now ready to set or change the desired adjustment.

OPEN TRAVEL LIMIT (Fig. 39):

LED #2 should be blinking. You can now set the open travel limit. To move the door to its fully opened position, press and hold the “+” button until the door is in position that you desire. Then release this button. If the door is not in the desired position, you can press the ”+” button to move it further upward, or the “–” button to move it slightly downward. If the door is already in its fully opened position, the

“+” or “–” buttons do not need to be pressed. Once the door is in the desired position, press and release the “P” button. This stores the open position in memory. It also advances to the next setting.

CLOSE TRAVEL LIMIT (Fig. 40):

LED #4 should now be blinking. Press and hold the “–” button until the door is fully closed. You can quickly press and release the “–” button to move the door in small increments.

You can also use the “+” key to move the door slightly in the up direction. Door is fully closed when the door bottom edge presses firmly onto the ground. Once the door is in the desired position, press and release the “P” button. This stores the closed position in memory. It also advances to the next setting.

UP FORCE (Fig. 41):

LED #2 and #6 should now be blinking. If the force needs to be increased or decreased after initial factory set-up, the force should be changed by one (1) increment at a time. The force should be set as low as possible, just enough to allow your door to travel up freely without stopping during its

travel. Press and release the “+” or “–” button once. The current force setting will be displayed by illuminating a certain number of LEDs around the circular display. The more

LEDs that are illuminated, the higher the force limit. For example, level 1 ( least amount of force) is set when only

LED #1 is illuminated. Level 2 is set when LED #1 and #2 are illuminated. Level 4 is set when LEDs #1, #2, #3, and #4 are illuminated. By repeatedly pressing the “+” or “–” key, the force can be increased (+) or decreased (–).

Once the desired level is selected, press and release the

“P” button. This stores the maximum force level for the up direction in memory. It also advances to the next setting.

DOWN FORCE (Fig. 42):

LED #4 and #6 should now be blinking. If the force needs to be increased or decreased after factory initial set-up, the force should be changed by one (1) increment at a time. The force should be set as low as possible, just enough to allow your unobstructed door to travel down freely without

reversing. Press and release the “+” or “–” button once. The current force setting will be displayed by illuminating a certain number of LEDs around the circular display. The more

LEDs that are illuminated, the higher the force limit. It is possible to have different settings (same as described in “Up

Force” setting). By repeatedly pressing the “+” or “–” key, the force can be increased (+) or decreased (–).

Once the desired level is selected, press and release the “P” button. This stores the maximum force level in memory.

It also advances to the next setting.

TRANSMITTER CODING (Fig. 43):

LED #7 should be blinking. The opener can now learn the code of the hand-held transmitter. While LED #7 is blinking, press and hold the button on the transmitter. When you see

LED #7 flashing rapidly, you can release the transmitter button. The opener has now learned the particular code of this transmitter.

Once the opener has successfully received the code from the transmitter, press and release the “P” button. This stores the code in memory. It also completes the adjustment setting

8-18. TEST SAFETY REVERSAL

The safety reversal function of your opener is an extremely important feature of your opener. Testing this function ensures the correct operation of your opener and door.

The reversal system test should be performed:

■ Once per month.

■ Anytime the travel or force limits are reset or changed.

Once the adjustments have been set and the door has been run up and down twice to “learn” the new settings, you must test the reversal system for proper operation.

■ Place a 1-1/2" high rigid object (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor directly in the path of the door. See Fig. 44.

■ Start the door in the downward direction and watch what happens.

■ When door contacts the object (or 2x4), it should stop, reverse, and automatically return to the fully opened position.

■ If the door does not reverse, reset the down travel limit so that the door travels slightly further down in the closed direction. Then, retest the unit as described above.

■ If the door still does not reverse, disconnect your opener and call a service person.

Fig. 44

Fig. 45

8-19. ALIGN AND TEST PHOTO EYES

ALIGNMENT:

Photo eyes maintain an invisible, unbroken beam between each unit. The eyes must be properly aligned for the system to function and provide the protection it was designed for.

Follow these steps to insure proper alignment:

■ When photo eyes are connected to the powerhead and the power is on, the green light on the transmitter photo eye will illuminate. When the eyes are aligned, the red light on the receiver eye will illuminate.

■ Loosen the wing nut on each photo eye and rotate eye in holder as needed until eyes are aligned and the light on each photo eye is illuminated. See Figs. 45 and 46.

■ Tighten the wing nut firmly by hand on each assembly to secure each photo eye in position.

SAFETY TEST:

Photo eyes installed on opposite sides of your door opening are intended to detect a person or object in the path of the door and prevent the door from moving downward. The following steps will determine if the system is functioning properly:

■ Open door using the opener’s transmitter or wall control.

■ Place a box or other object in the path of the door so it breaks the photo eye beam. See Fig. 46A. Red indicator light on receiver should go out.

■ Press and release the wall control button. The door should not move in the down direction. The LED # 6 on the opener will flash. If this does not happen, disconnect opener and call for service.

■ To reset opener, remove the obstruction and operate the door normally.

■ If photo eyes are not aligned or are damaged, door can only be closed by pressing and holding wall control button until door is fully closed.

8-20. APPLY LABELS TO INSIDE OF GARAGE

Several important safety and instruction labels are included with your opener package. These labels must be posted inside your garage where they can be easily seen by all. We recommend installing them in the location shown in Fig. 9 on page 7. To affix the labels, peel off the protective backing, and stick onto smooth, clean surface. If labels don’t adhere well to surface, use tacks (wood door only) or additional adhesive to securely affix in place. DO NOT PAINT

OVER ANY LABELS.

8-21. ATTACH OWNER’S MANUAL TO WALL

It is important that the manual be stored where it can be referred to later in case adjustments need to be made, and/ or new controls or accessories added. Store the manual in a safe, easily accessible location. We recommend you use an envelope with an eyelet to store the manual in the garage on a nail or hook on the wall near the wall control.

12. TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Your preassembled rail comes with the tension adjusted to factory specifications. There should be no need for further adjustment. However, if exposed or subjected to unusually harsh operating conditions, the tension may need to be readjusted during the life of the opener.

CHECK PROPER

TENSION (FIG. 52):

■ Release trolley from belt or chain, then examine the setting of the tension adjustment at the header end of the rail.

■ Proper tension is set when the tension nut is tightened just enough so that the washer will be spaced approximately 1mm or 3/64" from the stationary rail end-stop arch.

■ If the gap between the washer and the rail end-stop arch is too big or too small, the tension needs to be adjusted.

ADJUST THE TENSION:

■ To increase the tension and tighten the belt or chain, turn the tension nut clockwise with 7/16” wrench until the washer is spaced properly from the rail end-stop arch. See

Fig. 52.

■ Once the washer is spaced correctly, any additional tightening will overtighten the belt or chain and may cause damage to the system.

■ To loosen the tension, turn nut counterclockwise.

■ Reattach trolley.

13. RAIL LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLERS ONLY

If your particular installation calls for a shorter rail than the standard length provided, it is possible to shorten the rail.

NOTE: Shortening rail too much may result in door travel length reduction and door not opening fully. This depends on door size and configuration. Carefully plan all such modifications before proceeding. THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD

BE PERFORMED ONLY BY A PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER FULLY

FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF OPENER SYSTEM.

TO SHORTEN BELT RAIL LENGTH:

■ Loosen belt tension as much as possible.

■ Remove screws from sprocket holder and rail end-stop.

■ Slide belt and all rail parts out of rail from header end. See rail exploded view, Fig. 54 on p. 25, for disassembly details.

■ Measure and cut off excess rail from header end.

■ Disassemble connector to expose free ends of belt.

■ Using the same measurement as the excess rail length, cut the same amount off BOTH free ends of the belt.

■ Using rail end-stop as a guide, mark and drill two 3/16" holes on rail sides for rail end-stop screws.

■ Reassemble belt connector, and slide all rail parts into rail from header end according to original assembly.

■ Tension belt properly.

■ Before installing rail overhead, check for proper assembly and operation by manually moving trolley up and down rail length with trolley connected to belt.
