4. Setup and Installation

Professional Installation Recommended: Due to the electrical and mechanical nature of this product, installation should be carried out by a qualified technician to ensure safety and proper functionality.

1. Preparation:
   • Ensure the existing door automation system is completely de-energized by disconnecting it from the main power supply.
   • Carefully remove the old motor unit from the existing guide rail and mounting brackets.
   • Inspect the guide rail, door, and all mechanical components for wear, damage, or obstructions. Repair or replace as necessary before proceeding.
2. Mounting the New Motor:
   • Align the new Rolls 1200 gear motor with the existing mounting points on the guide rail.
   • Secure the motor firmly using the appropriate fasteners. Ensure it is level and stable.
3. Electrical Connections:
   • Connect the motor's power supply to the main electrical system, ensuring correct polarity and grounding. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your original automation system or consult a qualified electrician.
   • Connect any external accessories (e.g., photocells, wall controls, remote receivers) to the control unit as per the original system's wiring instructions.
4. Limit Switch Adjustment (Encoder):

   The integrated encoder automatically manages the door's travel limits. However, initial setup or calibration may be required. Refer to the specific instructions for the control unit within your Rolls series automation system for calibration procedures.

5. Testing:
   • Restore power to the system.
   • Perform several open and close cycles, observing the door's movement.
   • Ensure safety features (e.g., obstacle detection, emergency stop) are functioning correctly.

5. Operating Instructions

The Rolls 1200 gear motor operates as part of your existing KING GATES Rolls series automation system. Operation is typically performed via remote controls, wall-mounted push buttons, or other integrated access control devices.

• Opening the Door: Press the designated button on your remote control or wall switch. The motor will activate, and the door will open to its fully open limit.
• Closing the Door: Press the designated button again. The motor will activate, and the door will close to its fully closed limit.
• Stopping the Door: During movement, pressing the button again will stop the door at its current position.
• Obstacle Detection: The system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature. If the door encounters an obstruction during closing, it will automatically reverse to the open position. During opening, it will stop.
• Manual Release: In case of power failure or system malfunction, locate the manual release mechanism on your door system (usually a cord or lever). Pulling this mechanism will disengage the motor, allowing the door to be operated manually. Re-engage the motor once power is restored or the issue is resolved.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your KING GATES Rolls 1200 gear motor and the entire door automation system. Perform these checks periodically:

• Monthly:
  • Inspect the door's mechanical components (springs, cables, rollers, hinges) for wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the door manufacturer.
  • Test the obstacle detection system. Place a non-rigid object (e.g., a cardboard box) in the door's path during closing. The door should reverse.
  • Check that the door opens and closes smoothly without excessive noise or jerking.
• Annually:
  • Have a qualified technician inspect the entire automation system, including the motor, control unit, and electrical connections.
  • Check for any loose fasteners or mounting hardware and tighten if necessary.
  • Ensure the manual release mechanism functions correctly.

Caution: Always disconnect power to the motor before performing any maintenance or inspection that requires direct contact with the unit or moving parts.
