PLEASE CONTACT NICE AT 1-877-888-1116 . SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS . Upon delivery of your Nice heavy-duty gearhead jackshaft door operator, please inspect the unit carefully for damage. Verify that operator horsepower, voltage, phase and amperage correspond to available power supply and door application. Check that along with your operator you have received the following standard hardware.
PRO-GH and PRO-GHC heavy-duty jackshaft operators are designed for large commercial and industrial doors provided that doors are driven by a drive shaft. Model PRO-GH is essentially the same as model PRO-GHC with the exception that the PRO-GHC operator has a reinforced frame and pillow block bearings on reducer drive shaft.
Important Safety Instructions WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: • READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS • Never allow children to operate or play with door controls. Keep the remote control (where provided) away from children. • Personnel should keep away from a door in motion and keep the moving door in sight until it is completely closed or opened. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR.
• The PRO-GH, PRO-GHC operators have dual output shafts and may be mounted on right (standard) or left hand side of door. If handing of operator must be reversed, loosen set screws, remove drive sprocket and keyway and install on opposite side of drive shaft.

Primary monitored safety device: Nice monitored failsafe photo beams or Nice compatible monitored failsafe devices must be connected to terminals P1 and P2 if momentary close on pushbutton is required (B2 mode). If not connected, door can only be closed by constant pressure on close pushbutton.
SECTION C: PRO-GH: PRO-GHC Full Feature Logic Board Smart 10.0 [UL325 (2010) Compliant] NOTE: The operator is shipped from the factory in the D1 mode setting (constant pressure open and close). The operator should remain in this mode until all connections and limit switch adjustments are completed.
Page 17
Primary monitored safety device Nice monitored failsafe photo beams or Nice compatible monitored failsafe devices must be connected to terminals P1 and P2 as primary monitored safety device. Primary monitored safety device must be connected if momentary activation on close is required in B2, T and TS modes.
Secondary Non-Monitored Safety Device(s): A standard 2-wire safety edge, non-monitored photo beams or any other non-monitored reversing devices with a N.O contact can be connected to terminals S1 and S2 as secondary non-monitored safety device. NOTE: More than one secondary non-monitored safety device can be connected to terminals S1 and S2. IMPORTANT: Do not remove the resistor that is factory installed across terminals S1 and S2 unless installing a 4-wire electric edge.

C2 (Momentary open, constant pressure close): • Open Button: Momentary activation opens the door. When door is closing, momentary activation reverses the door (OPEN OVERRIDE). Momentary contact from mid-stop opens the door to full open position. Constant activation when door is opening, bypass mid-stop if enabled. •...
• Timer to Close: Closes the door from mid-stop or full open. Momentary activation of stop button will deactivate the timer. When door is closing, momentary activation of safety devices will reverse the door to mid-stop (if enabled) or full open and deactivates the timer.
OFF, activation of close button will delay to POT2 amount of time. On-Board Receiver Programming This logic board has a built-in 372 MHz radio receiver and can only be used with Nice single button, 3-button (OPEN/CLOSE/STOP) and 3-channel radio transmitters.
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. NOTE: If an external radio-receiver (Nice or other) is used instead of the built-in radio receiver, it is highly recommended to disconnect the co-axial cable from the logic board.
T or TS mode can be selected to enable Mid-stop Timer Timer is enabled from mid-stop only full open a timer for mid-stop Nice recommends 1.5 second delay on Delay on reverse Delay on reverse is 1.5 seconds Delay on reverse is 0.5 seconds reverse for all applications...
SECTION D: For all Operator Control Types Limit Switch Adjustment Adjustment of door travel is done by moving the limit cams on the threaded shaft. The position of the 4 limit switches are factory adjusted and should not be altered. The limit switches are: •...
For momentary activation on close, the Nice photobeams (or a Nice 2-wire monitored edge), must be installed as part of the operator system . If a Nice 2-wire monitored edge or the Nice infrared photobeam system is not installed (or not operating correctly), the operator will only operate in fault mode “constant pressure to close”...
4. Connect these paired wires to the P1 and P2 terminals on the logic board (or interface module if applicable) as shown in Figure FIGURE 3 NICE N-4 Photocell (MK00650) NOTE: The MK00650 photocell system has a maximum range of 24 ft. Sun Visor protector optional.
Photo system operation: Nice photo beams must be connected for the door to close in momentary mode (unless a Nice monitored 2- wire edge is connected). When the photo system is properly installed and aligned, the infrared beam will detect any obstruction in the path of the beam. Upon detecting an obstruction, closing door will stop and reverse to full open.
FRABA N-4/4 Thru-Beam Photocell (MK00697) NOTE: The MK00697 photocell system has a maximum range of 45 ft. Sun Visor protector optional. 1. Select a location on the wall no more than 6 inches from the floor to install wall mounting brackets on the left and right side of the door.
Clutch Adjustment In-Line Clutch If an optional In-line Clutch was ordered with your operator: 1. Loosen bolts on clutch cover and slide cover towards motor to access clutch. 2. Loosen the two set screws on clutch adjustment nut. 3. Rotate clutch nut counterclockwise (loosen) until there is insufficient tension to permit clutch to drive door. NOTE: When adjusting Nut, make sure to secure input shaft to not allow shaft to rotate when tightening or loosening nut.
10. When fusible link melts, the cable should release tension on the arm allowing the spring loaded fire release mechanism to disengage drive sprocket causing an open door to close under it’s own weight. NOTE: Limit switch settings must be re-adjusted anytime the fire release has been activated. PRO-GH CABLE KEYRING...
Brake Adjustment The brake adjustment is factory set and should only require minor adjustment after extensive use. Verify brake adjustment by manually holding in solenoid plunger. When brake is properly adjusted, the brake shoe pads should make complete contact with brake drum with sufficient brake spring tension to stop and maintain door when solenoid is de- energized.
Emergency Manual Operation • The PRO-GH and PRO-GHC operators are equipped with an emergency disconnect device with interlocked power cut- out switch to manually operate door in case of emergency. This feature should not be used to manually operate a malfunctioning door.
Operator Maintenance WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE OPERATOR UNLESS POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED . • Inspect manual function of the door every 3-months. Make sure that door runs smoothly. If door does not manually open or close freely, have a qualified service person make repairs.
