CAUTION!
STARTUP PROCEDURE
TESTING FOR DOOR SPRING BALANCE
THIS STEP MUST BE DONE BEFORE POWER IS CONNECTED.
The Dyna-Hoist operator is intended for use only with balanced doors. Improperly balanced doors could significantly affect the
performance of the operator. We recommend that once the door and operator are completely installed that you test the door’s balance
prior to power up.
To do this, ensure that the batteries are connected, power is off, and attempt one full cycle up and down under battery power
(push and hold the OPEN button, and push and hold the CLOSE button). The door should travel at a slow, steady pace upwards and
downwards. If the door can achieve a full cycle under battery power, it is setup properly for use with the Dyna-Hoist operator. If the
battery cannot move the door in either direction fully, the spring tension on the door must be adjusted.
POWER UP
Apply power to the unit. The Control Panel LED Screen should light up and run a self-diagnostic. If LCD screen is not lit, refer to
Trouble Shooting on Page 25. Once it has run through its self-diagnostic, the screen will read ‘Door is Ready’. DO NOT TRY TO
OPEN THE DOOR AFTER INITIAL POWER UP - ACCESS QUICKSTART MENU ONLY!
QUICK START MENU & ACCESSING ALL MENU SELECTIONS
NOTE THAT ALL FACTORY MENU SETTINGS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR
SECTIONAL DOORS ONLY. CONTACT Richards-Wilcox FOR SETTINGS FOR
OTHER DOOR STYLES (i.e. Rolling Steel, etc.)
For access to the QUICKSTART MENU press and hold the STOP BUTTON FOR 10
SECONDS - do not release until QUICKSTART MENU appears on the screen. Once
accomplished, you can scroll between the various QUICKSTART MENU options by pressing
the OPEN and CLOSE buttons. Once you have reached a selection that you would like to
alter, press the STOP button. Use the OPEN and CLOSE buttons to scroll/toggle between
options within the selection, and then press STOP to save your selection and return to the QUICKSTART MENU.
CLOSING TIMER
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO SET THE CLOSING TIMER UNTIL AFTER THE UNIT
HAS BEEN FULLY TESTED.
The Closing Timer will automatically close the door after opening by the preset number of
seconds that have been programmed using this QUICKSTART MENU option.
Once you have accessed this option, use the OPEN and CLOSE buttons to increase
or decrease the closing timer value in 1 second intervals. If it is not required, ensure that
the Closing Timer is set to OFF. If it is required, set it to any number of seconds from
1 to 99. Remember that this is the number of seconds that the door will remain open
before automatically closing. Press the STOP button to save the value and return to the
QUICKSTART MENU.
The Closing Timer will de-activate in the event that a reversing device fails, and manual Push
and Hold to Close protocols will apply to door closing operations.
Before applying power to the Dyna-Hoist operator, ensure that the unit is firmly in positioned on
the door shaft and securely fastened to the torque arm/bolt. Also that Limit brackets are in place
and that the encoder is properly fastened on the gearbox.
