The Emergency Release
Installation
In case of a power failure the garage door can be opened by
hand� Therefore the operator first needs to be released�
When the garage door is the only entrance
It is necessary to connect the emergency release to the door‘s
handle (pic� 1) otherwise the garage cannot be accessed in a
power failure situation�
Procede as follows:
1.
Find out in which direction the door handle moves when open-
ing the door�
2.
Drill a hole in that side of the door handle which turns down-
wards�
3.
Thread the cable through the hole and fix it with the enclosed
metal-clamps� Be carefull not to put a high tension on the emer-
gency release cable - the operator then might release from the
garage-door during a normal opening cycle�
4.
Check the function of the emergency release together with a
second person� Stay inside the garage and close the door with
the operator� Let the second person open the door manually with
the door keys� If this works, the emergency-release is mounted
properly
�
Do not leave the garage and close the garage-door with the
operator before you have tested the emergency-release!
When there is a second entrance to the garage
You can use the supplied handle for the emergency release (pic�
2)�
Thread the emergency release cable through the handle�
Fix the metal clamps to the cable where the handle shall be
placed�
Shorten the cable below the metal clamps - the handle is now be-
ing held by the clamps�
In case of a power failure the user can now open the garage
door by releasing the operator with the handle for the emergency
release�
