  • Adjustable deceleration, delay in reversing, and emergency stop
  • No limit switches required
  • Automatic or manual door size calibration
  • Direction select for left or right mounting
  • Adjustable time delay for automatic closing
  • Intelligent Diagnostic™, clear text information display on LCD
  • Simple menu operation with keypad and LCD, password access
  • 7 programmable inputs for loop sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radio control, and other sensors
  • Two programmable outputs to control annunciator buzzer, light, or interlock
  • Programmable electronic open and closed door position holding capability
  • Electronic overload protection, no mechanical clutch
  • Key or switch electronic operator disable
  • Cycle counter
  • 24VAC and 24VDC capability to power accessories

Benefits

  • Self calibrating or manual calibration to any door leaf size
  • Closed loop position and speed feedback ensures consistent motion profile with changing door size, weight, and mechanical wear over time
  • System status LCD display for simplified on-site diagnostics
  • Plug-and-play with polarized connectors to simplify service
  • Wide range of AC voltages, 115, 208, 230, 460, 575VAC single or three phase, 60Hz
  • Multiple door interlock capability

Energy Efficiency
