Door Operator
Mount the door operator(s) and complete the external mechanical adjustments. See the
appropriate Vertical Express door operator manuals and the job wiring diagrams for
instructions.
For systems using Vertical Express door operators, which will be communicating to the
controller via CAN, configure the CAN loading of the door operator at the time of installa-
tion. Typical installations should have loading resistors removed/disabled on the door
operator. See the Service Information section of this manual for more information.
Selector Box Mounting and Alignment
1. Adjust the selector mounting bracket so that the selector box is centered side to side
and vertically, parallel to the tape. Tighten the bracket to the stile or the crosshead.
See Figure 16 on page 1-29 and Figure 17 on page 1-30.
2. Move the selector box toward the tape until all the guide halves just touch the tape.
Tighten the selector box to the bracket.
3. Align the selector box with the selector tape so that the tape will go through the guides
in a straight path. The guides must not bend the tape.
4. Align the auxiliary sensor assembly with the selector box alignment pins and the con-
nector on the main sensor assembly.
5. Be careful not to cross-thread the screws, and turn screws into the box about four
turns.
6. Press the auxiliary sensor assembly into place. Tighten the screws enough to com-
press the washers.
7. Verify the following and, if necessary, readjust:
• The selector box is centered on the tape.
• The guides are not deflecting the tape from front to back.
• The guides are not pressing against the sides of the tape.
