Section 1: How to use this manual The 11 sections of this Installation Manual provide the information required to install, troubleshoot and maintain an RMX™ commercial/industrial door operator. Section 2 Provides important defining information related to safety terminology used throughout this manual, as well as safety related instructions which must be followed at all times while doing any steps/tasks/instructions detailed in this manual.
If you have any questions or do not understand the information presented, call your nearest service representative. For the number of your local Overhead Door Dealer, call 800-929-3667, and for Overhead 1. Read manual and warnings carefully.
Entrapment Protection Recommendations Overhead Door Corporation recommends the installation of a fail safe external reversing device (such as a reversing edge or photocell system, etc.) on all electronically operated commercial doors. If such a reversing device is not chosen, then the operator must be installed with only a constant contact control switch for operation.
Section 4: Installation Drawbar Assembly The Model RMX™ Drawbar Operator consists of the Power Unit (A), Drawbar Track (B), Chain Guides (C), Drawbar Arm (E), Front Spreader (G), Front Idler Pulley (H), Drive Chain (J), Drive Sprocket (K) and Drawbar Track Spacer (L).
Drawbar Assembly (cont’) 2) Attach the assembled drawbar track to the power unit using the eight (8) 1/4"-20 x 1/2" self-tapping screws provided. The curved part of the track MUST be toward the electrical panel. CARRIAGE TRACK 3) Insert the carriage into the tracks as shown in Fig. 3. NOTE: One end of the carriage has a notch (Detail A) which will be used to locate the chain pin (Detail B).

Drawbar Assembly (cont’) PLASTIC SLIDE GUIDE 6) Attach the chain guide assemblies to the drawbar tracks using track bolts and locknuts. Fig. 5. CHAIN GUIDE BRACKET NOTE: Space chain guides evenly between operator and header. Doors 12 foot tall and under will use 2 chain guides. Doors over 12 feet will require 3 chain guides.

Drawbar Assembly (cont’) 7) Uncoil the drawbar chain and install by routing the chain over TROLLEY SPROCKET the chain guides and around the drive sprocket on the output & SHAFT CHAIN shaft as shown in Fig. 6. CARRIAGE 8) Pass the chain through the rectangular slot in the carriage and insert the chain pin through the end link of the chain.

Drawbar Installation CAUTION Check the working condition of the door before installing the VERTICAL LINE 2" X 6" (SEE STEP 2) operator. Door must be free from sticking and binding. (SEE STEP 1) HORIZONTAL LINE If the door is equipped with a latching device, secure the locking (SEE STEP 6) HEADER bar in the open (unlocked) position.
Page 11
Drawbar Installation (cont’) MAKE MARK 2-1/2" ABOVE HIGH ARC OF 2" X 6" DOOR FOR HORIZONTAL LEVEL LINE 1) Raise the operator into a position approximately 4" above the horizontal door tracks. HEADER 2) Temporarily suspend the operator from the ceiling superstructure with rope or by some other safe and suitable means.
Attach Operator. 4) Center spreader bracket on the vertical line. Use two (2) ROPE OR CABLE 1/4" x 1-3/4" lag bolts to attach the bracket to the header. Fig. 9. 1/4" X 1-3/4" LAG BOLTS 5) Raise the door and position the operator so that the drawbar tracks are level and the operator chain is in line with the center of the door (or the stile where the door bracket will be attached).
Connection to the Door Door Center Line Top Door Roller 1) Pull down on the drawbar arm locking sleeve and attach to ATTACH TO DOOR WITH DOOR 1/4" -20 X 2 -1/4" carriage. BRACKET CARRIAGE BOLTS 2) Position the door bracket on the door as shown in Fig. 11, W/NUTS (OR AS RECOMMENDED with mounting holes on the door centerline.

Clutch Adjustment The RMX™ Operators have a friction style clutch that can be adjusted. NOTE: The clutch is intended to provide protection for the door, the operator and associated equipment. It is not intended for entrapment protection. RMX™ Operators have a motor reversing feature that is integrated with the clutch assembly.

Low Voltage Control Wiring (general) Fig. 3 1) Connect all LOW VOLTAGE control circuit wires to this side of unit using 1/2" conduit or flexible convoluted tubing. • Keep low voltage and line voltage wires separate. • Route all low voltage control wiring as shown. This includes all control circuit wires such as wall controls, timers and single button input devices as well as radio control and safety circuit wiring.

Section 6: Operator Setup Procedure Control Panel RMX™ Operators include a full function control panel including a liquid crystal display (LCD), calibration keys and Open, Close and Stop keys for on board operator control. See Fig. 1. The open, close and stop keys Operation Keys, function as a 3-button wall control.
Setting Constant Contact RMX™ Operators are shipped from the factory with both open and close operating modes set to constant contact – stop (C – STP) If your unit is set OPEN MODE C-STP to Momentary Contact (MOM) Open and/or CLOSE, reset the operating modes by taking the following steps: 1) Press CAL/RUN to enter calibration mode.
Setting Limit Travel UP LIMIT TRAVEL NUT LIMIT LOCKING BAR 1) Engage door to Operator. NOTE: Verify open and close operating modes are set to constant contact – Stop (C-STP). See page 6.2 for details. 2) Press CAL/RUN until operator is in run mode. 3) Press and hold OPEN Key on Control Panel.
Setting Limit Overrun WARNING : The Limit Overrun function will override external reversing devices, including photocells and sensing edges. Therefore, any externally connected devices will be disabled LIMIT OVERRUN 0 during that portion of the door travel controlled by the Limit Overrun function.
Using Series II Safe-T-Beam ® (STB) Monitored Photocells NOTE: The RMX™ Operator can use monitored SERIES II Photocells (STB). If your application requires these photocells, they must be activat- ODC STB OFF ed in calibration mode. 1) Press CAL/RUN to enter calibration mode. 2) Press scroll (DN) until display reads "ODC STB >...
Max Run Timer The RMX™ Operator will automatically set its maximum run timers (MRT) when the unit is run from limit to limit in the run mode. The Max MAX RUN TMR CLR Run Timer is a feature that prevents the unit from running continuously in the event of a slipping clutch, etc.
Setting the Mid-Stop The RMX™ Operator includes a programmable Mid-Stop. This feature allows the operator to stop at a user selectable point when opening. It is MID-STOP CLR used when operating very tall doors that only open to their full height occasionally.
Changing Open and Close Modes NOTE: Once the travel limit and safety modes have been set, the OPEN and CLOSE modes may be set for Momentary Contact if desired. OPEN MODE MOM WARNING If momentary contact control is to be used, an external reversing device such as a photocell system or sensing edge switch must be used.

Operator Type Fig. 3 RMX™ operators are available for use in jackshaft or trolley configurations. The same control board is used for either configuration, however the con- trol board must be set for the appropriate GDO configuration. A board set for trolley mode will not work in a jackshaft operator and vice-versa.
Section 8: Troubleshooting Display Operation in Run Mode RMX™ operators display their status on the integral display. Each time the operator runs, stops, reverses or refuses to run, the display will indicate why the action did, or did not, take place.
