Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the GD0 components are suitable for
the intended application.
In general GD0 is suitable for the automation of sectional and overhead
doors for residential applications having the following maximum dimensions:
Sectional doors: 240cm max. height - 300cm (7.2m
2
) max. width - max-
imum torque 55kg.
Overhead garage doors: 240cm max. height - 270cm (6.48m
2
) max.
width - maximum torque 55kg.
The shape of the door and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of
strong wind) may reduce this maximum limit. In this case it is necessary
to measure the torque needed to move the door under the worst condi-
tions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical character-
istics chart for the GD0 gearmotor.
Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install
the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serv-
iceable according to current safety standards. See examples in
figure 12.
