Criteria for installing the NORTON-1000-OIL operator on your door
- Can be installed on a door leaf with a maximum weight of 1000kg.
- Can be used up to 50 times continuously.
- Can be used up to 150 times per day.
A door weight of 1000kg is quite a high limit assuming that the average weight of sliding gates is usually 60-70kg/m. However, if the door weight is unknown, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer. From our experience, the above operator covers most cases of sliding gates.
The 50 continuous uses cover most cases in apartment buildings, as even during peak hours it is difficult to exceed this limit. The motor has thermal protection. This means that if the usage is exceeded and it overheats, the movement stops until the normal temperature is restored. It is logical that small doors, in a cold environment, can perform more cycles than large doors in a warm environment. If the motor stops due to overheating, the door must be operated manually.
The uses per day can cover, for example, more than 35 cars that will use it 4 times a day. These uses (compared to uses per hour) are the optimal operation for the mechanism to last for many years without problems.
Advantages of the NORTON-1000-OIL (kit-Deluxe) S automation set
- The NORTON-1000-OIL operator is designed for intensive use. It can be installed in apartment buildings or commercial premises with heavy traffic.
- Ideal for heavy doors.
- Reliable, practically maintenance-free.
- Quiet during operation.
- Competitive price for an oil bath operator
- Easy installation even for those unfamiliar with automation.
- Easy disengagement in case of power failure.
- Convenient operator dimensions:
The operator contains special oil (gear oil) in which the motor's gearbox and windings are submerged. This achieves excellent lubrication and cooling.
Sliding garage door with operator - Features
A classic arrangement of a sliding gate with an operator naturally includes the door leaf, which has rollers at the bottom. The rollers must be well maintained so as not to hinder the movement of the door and the operator.
On the ground, the rail on which the rollers move is correctly secured. The rail must be straight, without bumps or deformations.
The door leaf is held upright by the guides. The guides are positioned so that they are always in contact with the door from the fully open to the fully closed position. They must be stable and not allow the door to deviate from its path, but without hindering its movement. They are placed at the top of the door and in the middle of its travel.
The last accessories (for a door without an operator) are the mechanical door stops. The stops define the door's travel, i.e., the final position of the door for both opening and closing.
To automate a door leaf, we install a metal (or plastic) rack. The rack is a toothed rail that works with the motor's gear to transmit motion.
The motor is placed in the center of the door's travel so that it always maintains contact with the door. It has a gear that transmits motion from the operator to the door via the rack.
In addition to the operator, an essential accessory for the safety of the entire system are the safety photocells. The safety photocells are placed on either side of the opening and check for obstacles in the door's path. If an obstacle is detected during the door's closing, the photocells instruct the operator's control panel to stop the door's closing and initiate the reverse movement (opening).
Also, for even greater safety, a safety flashing light could be installed, which provides a visual signal when the door is in operation. It is usually installed when the door is adjacent to busy roads, roads with heavy traffic, and in areas where visibility is limited.
Finally, in cases where the remote control range is not satisfactory, an external antenna can be installed to amplify the signal.
Metal rack
The metal rack is supplied in one-meter pieces. It is galvanized for greater resistance to outdoor conditions. The rack's cross-section is 12x30mm, the diametral pitch is 4 (module 4), and it has 3 spacers per piece. It can be installed on door leaves with a maximum weight of 2 tons.
A key point of attention is the gap that must exist between the gear and the rack. Ideally, this gap should be 1.5mm.
If this gap is not present, the operator is forced to carry the door along its entire travel instead of simply pushing it. This will cause wear and tear, and sooner or later, problems will arise in its operation. Its installation is done by welding it onto the door.
Conversely, if the gap is large, the cooperation between the gear and the rack will not be correct, and jolts and stresses will be created in the motor. Therefore, particular attention is required to create this gap.
Metal gear for NORTON-1000-OIL sliding mechanism
The metal gear reliably transmits motion from the operator to the garage door via the rack. It features protection to prevent accidents and entrapment of objects between the gear and the rack.
Autotech S5060T control panel for sliding gate operators
The Autotech S5060T control panel is included in the set and is integrated into the mechanism. It is a control panel that combines simplicity of use with all necessary functions and has been tested over time. It works perfectly with the NORTON-1000-OIL mechanism.
Technical characteristics:
- Has a socket for the mechanism's limit switches
- We can adjust the mechanism's force.
- There is the possibility of soft start and stop for less wear and tear on the mechanism and the garage door.
- Accepts safety photocells that stop movement when they encounter an obstacle when the door is closing and start the reverse movement (opening).
- There is an available setting for automatic door closing with the user selecting the closing start time. The use of photocells is essential for the automatic closing function.
- There is the option of electric braking.
- The opening direction is adjusted with a microswitch.
- The panel can accept buttons (keypad or simple push button).
- The panel can accept a 230VAC warning light without a flasher or a 230VAC lighting lamp.
- It has a built-in receiver with simple operation.
- User information regarding the mechanism's functions is provided by LED lights.
The above control panel has been tested by thousands of users and has proven to be extremely reliable. In addition, it has features such as force adjustment, slow start, and stop, which make it one of the best choices currently on the market.
Sliding gate photocell operation
Photocells are a product that dramatically increases safety in the use of a sliding mechanism at minimal cost. These specific photocells (IR5001P) are extremely reliable and operate with a voltage of 12-24 VDC or 12-24 VAC, making them compatible with most control panels on the market. They have been on the market for years and do not present problems. They require no maintenance and are quite reliable even in difficult weather conditions.
Photocell operation: The transmitter emits an infrared light beam, in the non-visible spectrum, which is directed towards the receiver. When there is no obstacle interrupting the beam, the door operates normally. If, during the door's closing, the beam is interrupted by an obstacle (vehicle, pedestrian, pet, etc.), then the control panel instructs the mechanism to stop the door's closing and begin the reverse movement (opening). If the beam is interrupted while the door is opening, it continues its course normally, while if it is open, it is not allowed to begin closing.
An alternative to wired photocells is the installation of photocells with a reflector. These photocells do not require wiring on both sides of the door, making them easier to install. They are preferred in cases where the door and the surrounding area have been completed without provision for wiring. They incur a small extra cost compared to wired photocells but are a very good solution when wiring cannot be run.
Remote controls ProfelmNet PSD-36T at 433.92 MHz.
The ProfelmNet PSD-36T remote controls have an excellent design and are user-friendly and simple, both in their use and programming. They have been tested by thousands of users and do not present problems. They can receive up to four commands from different mechanisms, which makes them convenient for users who have more than one automation in their daily use.
