PRE-INSTALLATION ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE INSTALLATION, ENSURE THAT YOUR DOOR IS PROPERLY BALANCED AND RUNNING 

SMOOTHLY. ALSO ENSURE THAT THE LIMIT BRACKETS (SUPPLIED) ARE INSTALLED AND  

SECURED PROPERLY. BUMPER/PUSHER SPRINGS MAY BE USED IN PLACE OF, OR IN ADDITION TO 

LIMIT BRACKETS FOR PULSE OPERATORS, BUT MUST BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO OPERATION.

Operator Mounting Requirements

Pulse 100 Series operators are mounted directly anywhere on the door shaft. Before installing the 

operator, please ensure following criteria is met:

The door must be well balanced, and have 

been tested for smooth functioning without 

any unusual noises or snags.

Provided Limit Brackets are installed 

4"-5" past door's desired open position, and 

within allowable maximum cable height, 

to prevent the doors from over-travel (See 

Fig. 1A).  Bumper or Pusher Springs are 

acceptable as an alternate.

The door has a solid keyed shaft with a 

minimum exposed length of 4.5” on the 

operator side.

Clearance of at least 6” from end of shaft, 

and 18” vertically below the shaft. There 

is adequate structural support surface to 

securely install the torque arm mounting 

bracket/torque arm. For more details, see 

mounting installation instructions

Fig: 1 & 7.

Mounting space for the push button station: 

Min. 5 ft. from ground level, within clear 

sight of the door but far enough away as to 

prevent users from coming into contact with 

moving parts.

The operator must be mounted within a 4 

foot radius of a standard 15A (minimum) 3 

prong electrical outlet for power connection.
