MODEL MO OPERATOR APPLICATIONS:
MO operators are intended for commercial and industrial
use to raise or lower rolling steel or sectional overhead
doors by chain coupling to the door shaft. MO 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.
MO operators may also be used with roll up service doors
and grills when specified on order from factory.
An MO 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.
MO operators are used in the following applications:
- Continuous Duty, Medium and Heavy Duty Cycle
Commercial installations.
- Indoor Use Only
- Doors with a maximum area of 560 square feet
(2zHP) - 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
