MODEL J & H OPERATOR APPLICATIONS:
Jackshaft operators are intended for commercial and
industrial use to raise or lower sectional overhead
doors by chain coupling or direct coupling to the door
shaft. Jackshaft operators are suitable where all or
part of the door remains in a vertical position when
fully open such as doors with at least 18 inches of lift
clearance or full vertical lift doors. Jackshaft
operators may also be used with roll up service doors
and grills when appropriately modified at the factory
to obtain the correct speeds.
A jackhaft operator DOES NOT LOCK THE DOOR
IN ITS CLOSED POSITION. However, because the
cross-header shaft is prevented by the operator from
turning, the torsion springs provide no assistance in
lifting the door should an attempt be made to raise it
manually.
The J & H Series jackshaft operators are used in
the following applications:
- Continuous Duty, Medium Cycle Commercial
installations only
- Indoor Use Only
- Up to 24 foot high doors with a maximum area
of 480 square feet for 3/4 HP, 280 square feet
for 1/2 HP and 200 square feet for 1/3 HP -
maximum area slightly higher for lighter doors
- consult factory
- Use with foam/pneumatic reversing door edge
or photoelectric device - REQUIRED where the
3-button station is out of sight of the door, or
any other automatic, remote or manual control
is used to activate the door
