IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE CONDITION OF GARAGE DOORS

No door should be converted to automatic operation unless it is in good working order. Before installing an automatic door operator, inspect the door for signs of worn, damaged or missing parts and repair or replace as necessary.

Test the operation of the door to make sure that it is properly balanced.

Pay particular attention to the springs. Domestic garage door springs should be replaced after every 10 000 operating cycles, ( or approximately 4 to 5 years of normal usage ).

IMPORTANT NOTE :-

1) This type of door can be automated provided the Counter-weight system is replaced by a Jamb-Spring mechanism.

2) An alternative system, viz., the

"Vertical Track Adaptor Kit”, may be used to render the door suitable for automatic operation. However, this system does not comply with the safety requirements set down in SABS and IEC standards. When fitted with a "VTAK" system, the "built-in" overload sensors of the door operator, regardless of make or model, may be compromised to the extent that local safety standards may not be complied with. South African

SABS Safety Standards preclude the use of this system for the automation of domestic garage doors.

Check with your local operator dealer for more information.

MAN 01 - page 4 Version 5

SECTION 3

DOORS NOT SUITABLE FOR AUTOMATION

Read this section carefully !

For reasons of safety, certain doors should not be automated. One door in particular fails to comply with the safety standards set out in .........

SABS - IEC 60335-2-95

This is the door commonly referred to as a

"Tip-In" or "Cam-Spring" type door.

When fully open, the entire door remains completely inside of the garage.

These doors were intended for use in openings that have rounded or "arched" shapes and were sold as a cheaper alternative to Sectional type doors.

Typical openings in which "Tip-In" type doors may be found.

Do not automate this type of garage door!

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

These doors are unsafe for automatic operation as the force applied by the door operator is magnified as much as 40 times due to the action of the door mechanism. The operator is unable to reliably sense obstructions in the path of the door.

IMPORTANT NOTE:-

These doors are classified as "Vertically

Tracked" type doors.

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

A "one-piece" Tip-Up type door which has a

"vertical" guide track. The distinguishing feature of the door is the position of the Guide

Roller. The Guide Roller is positioned at, or close to, the bottom-most corner of the door panel. The effect of this arrangement is that it causes the door to open completely to the inside of the garage.

At no stage during the opening or closing cycle does any part of the door pass through or protrude from opening.

Brano Industries (Pty) Ltd will not condone the use of any of it's products on this type of door.

All warranties, whether stated or implied, shall “ipso facto” be rendered null and void if the equipment is fitted to such types of doors.

MAN 01 - page 5 Version 5 January 2004

Unsafe Installation Practices

Do Not Install Door Operators In This Way !

Unsafe Installation Practice No.1

“Cross-tube”

Connection Adaptor

Motor mounted vertically at side of door.

Fig. No. 10

“Side-Mount” Roll-Up Door System

Steel Roll-Up Doors

Typically, the motor is positioned vertically at one side of the door. A”Crosstube” is fixed to the lower extremity of the door as shown in Figs 10 & 11.

The operator is coupled to the “cross-tube”. The effect of this arrangement is that the door is raised or lowered by a force being applied at only one side of the door.

“Cross-tube”

Connection Adaptor

Fig. No. 11

Unsafe Installation Practice No.2

Single door operator centrally mounted between two "One-Piece Tip-Up” type doors or “Sectional” type doors which are rigidly coupled together. ( Fig. 12 )

Important Notes

SABS - IEC 60335-Part 2 - 1995 sets down certain safety standards for the automation of garage doors. When two doors are coupled together in the way shown here, the built-in "overload" sensors of the door operator, regardless of make or type, may be severely compromised to the extent that they may not respond quickly enough, if at

all, to any obstructions in the path of the door. This is a dangerous condition !

Should any doors which are automated in this manner cause an injury, or worse, to any person or damage to property, both the owner and the installer may be held jointly and severably responsible and liable; and may suffer the consequences thereof.

Homeowners are advised to reject such installations lest they be incriminated in any claims.

Under no circumstances will Brano condone the use of it's products in such a manner.

SECTION 6

HOW TO USE YOUR

"pro-alpha 2000"

garage door operator.

THE DOOR OPERATOR CONTROLS,

WHAT & WHERE THEY ARE, AND...

HOW THEY WORK!!!

6.2 USING THE TRANSMITTER

The Radio Transmitter is an expensive piece of

equipment and should be treated as such.

Do not drop it !

Do not shock it !

Do not allow it to become wet !

Do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight for long periods ! and, most important,

Do not allow children to play with it !

........ it's not a toy !!!

Your "pro-alpha 2000" garage door

operator is controlled by means of Radio Remote

Control Equipment as well as a "Wall Mounted

Push-button Console".

There are 2 parts to the radio equipment, viz.:-

a) the Transmitter, ( or TX ) and,

b) the Receiver, ( or RX ).

The part you carry with you in the motorcar is the

Transmitter (TX). The part connected to the operator power-head is the Receiver (RX).

When the transmitter button is pressed a radio signal is sent to the receiver which will, in turn, start the motor to operate the door.

See the Sections 10 & 11 entitled "Operator

Testing and Function Checks.”

IMPORTANT NOTE:-

Read all the "SAFETY NOTICES" appertaining to the correct and safe use of the door operator system.

TYPICAL 1 BUTTON TRANSMITTER

Normally, the TX will have an indicator light, ( red,

green or yellow LED ), and one or more pushbuttons. The buttons of multi-button type transmitters are colour coded for convenience.

When the button is pressed the LED will illuminate and a radio signal is sent to the receiver. The LED also serves to give an indication of the state of the battery inside the transmitter.

Press the button once only and release it!

Do not hold the button down continuously as this may cause the door operator to malfunction.

6.3 WHERE TO KEEP YOUR TRANSMITTER.

Keeping the TX on your key-ring is the most effective way to abuse and damage it. Keys are dropped, bashed about in handbags, given to children to play with and generally subjected to a great deal of abuse.

OPTIMUM MOUNTING POSITION

FOR RADIO TRANSMITTER

Version 5

The best place to keep the Transmitter is in

your car. Use some “VELCRO” tape to stick the TX to the back of your car's sunvisor. ( Fig

17 )

Your TX will always be at hand; no possibility of misplacing it ; it will not be subjected to abuse and, what's more, it will afford the radio equipment the most favourable placement to ensure a good working range.

The placement of the receiver isvery important as the "range" at which the radio equipment will work is largely dependent upon the receiver having an

unobstructed reception path, i.e. the aerial must not be shielded inside a metal casing, nor should the RX be fixed to metal pipes etc., etc.

See section 6.6 "RADIO PERFORMANCE”.

6.6 RADIO PERFORMANCE

6.4 CHANGING THE TX BATTERY

TO CHANGE THE TX BATTERY:-

Remove the cover of the Transmitter.

Carefully insert the new battery making sure that the "polarity" of the battery, ( i.e. positive and negative ends of the battery ), is correct. Both the battery and the Transmitter Casing are marked with + and signs.

Take care not to disturb the positions of the

Dip-Switches as this will change the Signal

Code thus causing the radio controls to

malfunction and consequently the door

operator will not work.

The Dip-Switch settings of the Receiver and

Transmitter must match each other !!!

TAKE NOTE .....

The parameters for coding Multi-Button

Transmitters such as 2, 3, & 4 button types are

different to those for the 1 button types.

See section 6.9 "CHANGING THE RADIO

CODES".

6.5 THE RADIO RECEIVER

*

*

*

*

*

*

The effective transmitting range of standard lowpower radio remote control equipment is of the order of 15 - 20 metres..... measured in direct

"Line-of-Sight" from the Receiver Set.

So called "long range" radio controls which have an effective range of 50 - plus metres are also available on request.

The transmitting range is greatly influenced by the surroundings and garage structures as well as the approaches to the garage.

For example:-

Concrete ceilings, corrugated steel roofs and steel doors will reduce the effective range of the radio transmission!

Trees and bushes close to the garage will also

adversely affect the transmitting range!

Basement garages will also restrict the range!

Weak batteries will reduce the transmitting range to zero!

Transmitters which are surrounded by a bunch of keys will not give of their best performance.

The placement of the radio receiver and the position from which the transmitter is operated has great influence on the performance of the equipment.

A security "lock-out" facility is provided on the Wall

Pushbutton.

6.8 "POWER - ON" INDICATOR LIGHT.

A "POWER-ON" Indicator Light, ( LED ), is on the

P C Board, ( visible through the Light Diffuser

Lens ). This light provides a visual indication that the power supply to the operator is "good". In the event of the operator not working, first check that the "POWER-ON" Indicator Light is in fact

"ON".

GARAGE DOOR MAINTENANCE

INSPECT YOUR GARAGE DOOR.

To ensure that your "pro-alpha" door operator functions properly, make sure that the garage door itself is in good working order. This is the secret to having a reliable automatic garage door. The door operator is not designed to overcome the problems of a door which is in a state of disrepair.

Damaged or worn-out components and doors must be serviced or replaced!!!

GARAGE DOOR MAINTENANCE

Testing the Balance of a Tip-up Door

12.1 MONTHLY INSPECTION

Open and close the door manually, making sure that it functions normally. If the door jams up or is difficult to open and close, then proceed follows:-

1) Inspect the door for signs of worn or damaged parts. Look for loose or missing fasteners. Make sure that all screws and fasteners are secure.

2) Check for worn or damaged hinges, rollers, pulley wheels, cables and springs and repair / replace as necessary. The failure of any one of these components can cause the door to malfunction.

3) Apply a suitable lubricant to all the moving parts of the door especially pivot-pins, hinges, rollers and bearings.

CAUTION! CAUTION! CAUTION!

IF THE SPRINGS OF YOUR

GARAGE DOOR NEED TO BE

S E R V I C E D , C A L L I N T H E

SERVICES OF A PROFESSIONAL

DOOR TECHNICIAN.

Every month, carry out the following inspection and tests on your garage door.

1) Uncouple the "pro-alpha" door operator from the garage door.

2) Make sure that the area around the door is clear of persons and obstructions.

3) Lift the door by hand from the "fully

closed" position to the "full open" position. Make sure that the door moves freely throughout the cycle without jamming or binding at any point along it's path.

4) Raise the door to the "half open" position.

If the door is correctly balanced it should be able to remain in that position without any assistance.

5) If raised any higher, it should tend to rise very slowly without assistance and remain in the "full open" position.

6) Below the "half open" position, it should tend to close slowly.

7) From the "fully closed" position, the door s h o u l d n o t r e q u i r e m o r e t h a n

approximately 10 kg of force to raise the door to the "open" position, regardless of the size of the door.

MAN 01 - page 20 Version 5

12.3 SECTIONAL DOOR MAINTENANCE 12.4 TIP-UP DOOR MAINTENANCE

Check the balance of the door as shown below.

1) Place a bathroom scale under the door.

2) With the operator disconnected, note the reading on the scale. A well balanced door should show a reading of not more than 15kg.

If the door does not pass the inspection,

.......... call in the services of a professional door mechanic to repair it for you.

When servicing a Tip-Up garage door, pay carefull attention to the main Pivot Pin

Bearings. These parts are subjected to high loads and must be lubricated regularly.

Damaged bearings and bushes must be replaced immediately as these components bear the full weight of the door and should they fail they would pose a great danger to persons and property.

Bathroom Scale

Checking The Amount Of Force

Required To Lift The Garage Door

12.5 ROLL-UP DOOR MAINTENANCE

Generally, Steel Roll-Up doors require very little maintenance. Make sure that the guide channels (tracks) are kept clean.

Do not put grease or silicon based lubricants in the guide channels.

If lubrication is required, use a "Dry

Graphite Stick", "Graphite Powder" or "Graphite Spray".

Alternatively, a very light, “siliconfree” oil or “Teflon” lubricant.

A heavy grease tends to collect dirt and grit which compounds the problem of excessive friction between the door curtain and the guide channels.

CAUTION! CAUTION!

THE SPRINGS OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR

ARE UNDER A GREAT DEAL OF

TENSION.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ANY

ADJUSTMENTS TO THEM WITHOUT

HAVING THE PROPER TOOLS OR

KNOW-HOW.

Reverse" is not functioning.

Operator will not "Stop" if obstructed whilst in the opening mode, i.e. the automatic "Safety

Stop" is not functioning.

If you are in any doubt whatsoever as to what the problem might be or what is causing it, call in the services o f a p r o f e s s i o n a l d o o r technician.

G a r a g e d o o r s , i f n o t maintained in good working order, or if not serviced correctly, can be dangerous !

Rather than risk unnecessary injury or damage to property, have them serviced regularly by a suitably qualified and equipped door technician !

A garage door in good working order is a blessing and a joy to use; and it adds value to your property !

SOLUTIONS 21 :-

21.1 Check the manual operation of the door.

21.2 The door must be properly balanced and in good working order.

21.3 Inspect the door for faulty or damaged parts.

21.4 Check the Over-load Sensor settings of the door operator.

Problem doors can become a nightmare.

There is no substitute for doing it right the first time !

ACCEPTANCE OF EXTENDED WARRANTY:-

No extended warranty will be deemed to exist unless all the information stipulated is supplied.

CORRESPONDENCE:-

Always state the operator's Serial Number in any correspondence relating to warranty claims..

WARRANTIED COMPONENTS:-

11.1 Brano warrants that all mechanical and electrical components of the 'pro-alpha 2000" garage door

operator which are supplied as part of the basic kit are free of defect with respect to the quality of the materials and components used as well as the quality of the manufacturing and assembly workmanship.

Components include the:-

Electric motor, "worm-screw", aluminium housing, P.C. control card, attachment brackets and towing arms.

11.2

Important Note:-

The Traveller Assembly and motor-shaft coupling are designed to be "sacrificial" wearing parts and will not be considered as faulty components. They are therefore not covered by this warranty.

These specific components are designed to "fail first" in order to protect more expensive and "difficult-to-replace" components. If one of these components fails, it is a sure indication that there is a fault somewhere in the system.

Most likely the garage door is out of balance or some component of the door system is malfunctioning or is damaged and requires attention.

EXCLUSIONS:-

The following components, services and work are

specifically excluded from the Scope of this Warranty, whether specifically stated or implied. This Warranty is invalid for the repair or replacement of Door Operating

Equipment and Components which are :-

12.1

not supplied by Brano.

12.2

damaged by an act of nature, ( e.g. lightning strike, flood, fire, power surge, etc., etc.)

12.3

damaged due to misuse or abuse of the equipment, as when fitting the operator onto doors which are not suited for conversion to automatic operation, (e.g. “Tip-In" doors or "Vertical Track" type doors. )

Note:Modification of the operator, e.g. shortening the worm-shaft for “Side-mount” installation on Roll-Up

Doors, will render all warranties null and void as the approved method for automating Steel Roll-Up Doors is with the “Pro-Rola” adaptor system only.

12.4

used for purposes other than that for which it has been designed, ( e.g. for the automation of driveway gates ).

The "pro-alpha 2000" door operator is not designed to operate in areas where it will be exposed to the elements.

........ It is not weatherproof !!!

12.5

used to operate doors which are not in good working order, ( e.g. doors which are improperly balanced or are in a state of disrepair ).

12.6

installed on doors which have to cater for high traffic flows, ( i.e. more than 6 cycles per day or 2 000 cycles per year on average ). The equipment is designed for, and intended to be used, in a domestic environment .

12.7

damaged due to malicious causes, ( i.e. sabotage ).

12.8

damaged due to faulty or incorrect installation techniques and / or sub-standard workmanship, ( e.g. non standard or improper wiring work, incorrect fitting of the operator and / or door adaptor kits ).

12.9

damaged or have their settings disturbed due to tampering with the equipment by unqualified persons.

12.10 damaged due to fair wear and tear which is not attributable to the fault of the company, ( e.g. replacement of batteries and light bulbs, traveller nuts, and other

"sacrificial" wearing parts ).

13 MAINTENANCE OF THE GARAGE DOOR.

It is, furthermore, a condition of this warranty that the garage door itself be maintained in a serviceable condition in accordance with the door manufacturer's instructions and as specified in the relevant sections of this "Owner's

Operating Manual" and SABS - IEC 60335 - 2 Standard.

Proof of service to the doors may be required.

14 DEFECTIVE PARTS- ( under warranty ):-

Faulty components shall be repaired or replaced at the sole discretion of Brano. Defective parts replaced shall become the property of Brano.

15

16

COSTS INCURRED FOR SERVICE LABOUR,

TRANSPORT / POSTAGE and TRAVELLING:-

Brano will be liable for the cost of the replacement parts

only ! That is, the cost of specialised labour and the cost of travelling to and from site and the cost of transport or postage of spare parts are specifically excluded from the scope of this warranty. The faulty component or door operator must be returned either to Brano or to one of its authorised

Distributors for repair or replacement. The cost incurred for such returns shall be for the account of the owner or installer.

CANCELLATION of WARRANTY.

In the event of any of these conditions being breached,

Brano reserves the right to cancel the warranty with immediate effect.
