PREPARATION

It is imperative that the wall or mounting surface

provide adequate support for the operator.

This surface must:

a. Be rigid to prevent play between operator and

door shaft.

b. Provide a level base.

c. Permit the operator to be fastened securely and

with the drive shaft parallel to the door shaft.

The safety and wear of the operator will be adversely

affected if any of the above requirements are not met.

For metal buildings, fasten 2" x 2" x 3/16" (or larger)

angle iron frames to the building purlins. Retain

5-1/2" between frames (Figure 1).

All MJ, MH, and HMJ series operators have dual output shafts and may be mounted on either the right (standard)

or left side of door, and in either a vertical (standard) or horizontal mounting position. If you need to move the drive

sprocket, loosen BOTH set screws, remove the sprocket and key, and place on the opposite side of the drive shaft.

Be sure to tighten BOTH set screws securely

Hand Chain Handing

For MH and HMJ models with manual hoist hand chain systems, the handing of the operator must be determined

at the time of order. The handing is indicated by last letter of the model name (R or L). The hand chain wheel

can not be switched on site. If your installation causes the hand chain to hang in the door opening, hook the

chain off to the side near the top of the door jamb.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• DO NOT connect electric power until instructed to do so.

• If the door lock needs to remain functional, install an interlock

switch.

• ALWAYS call a trained professional door serviceman if door

binds, sticks or is out of balance. An unbalanced door may not

reverse when required.

• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust doors, door springs,

cables, pulleys, brackets or their hardware, ALL of which are

under EXTREME tension and can cause SERIOUS PERSONAL

INJURY.

used. Reversing devices are recommended for ALL

installations.

WARNING

CAUTION WARNING

WARNING

DETERMINE WIRING TYPE

Refer to the wiring diagram located on the inside cover the electrical box to determine the type of control wiring.

Momentary contact on close (B2 wiring)

Move RED wire from terminal block #12 to terminal #2.

The operator will require only momentary contact to

close the door.

CONTROL WIRING (cont’d)

Radio Controls

On all models with type C2 control wiring, a terminal

bracket marked R1 R2 R3 is located on the outside of

the electrical enclosure. All standard radio receivers

(single channel residential type) may be mounted to this

bracket. The operator will then open a fully closed door, close a fully open door, and reverse a closing door from

the radio transmitter. However, for complete door control from a remote, a commercial three-channel radio receiver

(with connections for OPEN/CLOSE/STOP) is recommended.

Additional Access Control Equipment

Locate any additional access control equipment as desired (but so that the door will be in clear sight of the person

operating the equipment), and connect to the terminal block in the electrical enclosure as shown on the FIELD

WIRING CONNECTIONS diagram. Any control with a normally (N.O.) isolated output contact may be connected

in parallel with the OPEN button. More than one device may be connected in this manner. Use 16 gauge wire or

larger for all controls. DO NOT USE THE CONTROL CIRCUIT TRANSFORMER (24VAC) IN THE OPERATOR TO

POWER ANY ACCESS CONTROL EQUIPMENT OTHER THAN A STANDARD RESIDENTIAL TYPE RADIO

RECEIVER.

External Interlock Switch

The operator has a terminal connection for an external interlock switch. This switch must be a normally closed

(N.C.) two-wire device with a contact rating of at least 3 amps @ 24VAC. When such a switch is connected as

shown on the FIELD WIRING CONNECTIONS diagram, the control circuit will be disabled when the switch is

actuated, thereby preventing electrical operation of the door from the control devices.

CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT

1. Remove cotterpin from nut on the clutch shaft.

2. Back off clutch nut until there is very little tension

on the clutch spring.

3. Tighten clutch nut gradually until there is just

enough tension to permit the operator to move the

door smoothly but to allow the clutch to slip if the

door is obstructed. When the clutch is properly

adjusted, it should generally be possible to stop

the door by hand during travel.

4. Reinstall cotterpin.

NOTE: The adjustable friction clutch is NOT an

automatic reversing device. An electric or

pneumatic reversing edge can be added to bottom

edge of door if desired.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, install

reversing sensors when the 3-button control station is out of

sight of the door or any other control (automatic or manual) is

used. Reversing devices are recommended for ALL

installations.

WARNING

CAUTION WARNING

WARNING

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving

gate or garage door:

• ALWAYS keep remote controls out of reach of children.

NEVER permit children to operate, or play with remote

controls.

• Activate gate or door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is

properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door

travel.

• ALWAYS keep gate or garage door in sight until completely

closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of moving gate

or door.

WARNING

CAUTION WARNING

WARNING

Install the control station and receiver where the door is

visible, but away from the door and its hardware. When a
