System Overview
• The control unit housing must be mounted at
least 5ft from the ground, within 16.4ft of the
open end of the rail and no more than 5.7ft
(69”) from an outlet. These distances cannot be
extended
• The wire connector end of the track is always
the open end of the track
• The red limit stop is located on the opening end
of the rail (same as the wire connector)
• The boomerang arm is pointing towards the
closing end of the rail
• The closing end of the track has a
programmable end stop
• If your opening is smaller than our standard
9ft kit, you do not need to cut it down to size
unless you lack the available space. If you do
cut it down then cut the rail first, take the cut
piece and use it as your guide for shortening
the chain
• It is standard to have the sliding hardware on
the outside of the building with the opener on
the inside. If you happen to have the sliding
hardware on the inside as well, then it is
important to make sure the opener will clear
(not interfere) the sliding barn door hardware.
To do this you can mount the opener on the
ceiling or build a bump out on the side wall for
clearance
Single Door Applications
You can utilize either the side mount or ceiling
mount option, and choose whichever is better for
your specific application. This opener is easily
adapted for unique situations and it is up to the
installer to find the correct mounting location. It is
important to make sure the door bracket is installed
in a location that helps the door clear the opening
as much as possible, and that the rail is mounted
in a spot that allows the motor to travel to the
necessary locations.
• The rail must be offset from the opening
towards the open end. This will allow the
motor to travel past the opening which is vital
for getting the door as close to clearing the
opening as possible
• The amount of offset can be measured from
the end of the rail to the where the door
bracket attaches to the boomerang arm. The
angle of the boomerang arm changes (which
changes the measurement) depending on your
application (like the height it is mounted above
opening)
Biparting Doors
You can utilize either the side mount or ceiling
mount option, and choose whichever is better for
your specific application. This opener is easily
adapted for unique situations and it is up to the
installer to find the correct mounting location. It
is important to make sure the door brackets are
installed in a location that helps the doors clear the
opening as much as possible, and that the rail is
mounted in a spot that allows the motors to travel
to the necessary locations.
• This is essentially like mounting two single door
applications next to each other. The rails are
offset towards the open end allowing the doors
to clear the opening as much as possible
• Most likely the opener rails will not touch in
the middle because of the offset (depending
on your opening size). The rail must be offset
to the opening towards the open end. This
will allow the motor to travel past the opening
which is vital for getting the doors as close to
clearing the opening as possible
• The amount of offset can be measured from
the end of the rail to the where the door
bracket attaches to the boomerang arm. The
angle of the boomerang arm changes (which
changes the measurement) depending on your
application (like the height it is mounted above
opening)
Bypassing Doors
You can utilize either the side mount or ceiling
mount option, and choose whichever is better for
your specific application. This opener is easily
adapted for unique situations and it is up to the
installer to find the correct mounting location. It is
important to make sure the door bracket is installed
in a location that helps the door clear the opening
as much as possible, and that the rail is mounted
in a spot that allows the motors to travel to the
necessary locations. The most common bypass
scenario has two doors staying within the opening,
and one door moves at a time. This opener is not
suited to allow both doors to operate at the same
time or when there are applications where the doors
clear the opening. For applications where the doors
are collecting (cascading) you would only need
a single motor to operate. For any clarification or
