UPGRADE EQUIPMENT

Schweiss strongly recommends that upgrade equipment be used on every door.
WARNING: Without the proper upgrade equipment, the door could cause serious injury, death,
or property damage.

Top Override Jiggle Switches

Upper override switch that disconnects power to door if upper limit fails or if limits are
overridden. This safety feature is designed to prevent the door from traveling beyond its
recommended clear opening height. If the door passes its full clear opening height, it will
activate the override and stop the door automatically.

Side Latch Jiggle Switches

Side Latch Safety Switches eliminate possible damage if door is opened while in locked
position. These switches are designed to prevent the door from operating while the side
latches are locked in the closed position.

Electric Photo Eye Sensor

Electric Photo Eye Sensors are mounted near floor level used to prevent or stop the
door from closing when an obstruction brakes the detection beam. All Bi-Fold Doors
installed on residential garages must be equipped with an electric photo eye.

2 Button, Constant Hold Control Station

2-button constant contact dead man switch, which prevents operator from leaving
control panel while door is in motion, either up or down. With this type of switch the
door will not move in either direction unless the operator is pressing either the "Up" or
"Down" button. When the operator takes his hand off the up /down button, it will stop
the opening or closing of the door in any midpoint position. The motor will automatically
stop when the door reaches either the full open or closed position.

Door Base Safety Edge

Electrical sensing switch along bottom of door to stop door if it
comes in contact with an obstruction, door will then reverse to
a fully open position. Safety edge must be capable of protect-
ing the entire width of the door opening.

Warning Lights and Horn

This optional feature is designed to alert persons in the area of the Bi-
Fold Door that the door is operating. When the door operator acti-
vates the door, a warning light rotates and a horn sounds. This
feature is especially recommended for doors that will be equipped
with radio controls or other remote features.

Entrance Lights

Lights up the doorway entrance when activating the door with a
remote control system. (Very Nice Feature)

Emergency Back-Up Hand Crank

outage. Included is a disconnect device to prevent motor from
operating when manually operating door.
