Installation
1) Read the instructions carefully.
2) Make sure the door structure is solid and suitable to be motor driven.
3) Make sure that when the door is moving there are no friction points.
4) The door must be properly balanced and must be easily lowered and raised by hand.
5) Install a 220V, adequately protected 3 pin socket near where the DTS600/800 opener is going to be installed.

Please ignore middle bracket on the extrution

Refer to Fig. 2 for recommended installation.

1) DTS600/800 sectional door operator 2) Infra red beams (Optional). 3) Inside push button panel (Optional).
4) Power point (Optional). 5) Power head.

CHAIN SHUTTLE ASSEMBLY.

For ease of installation the DTS600/800 is delivered with the chain and chain shuttle already assembled in the track. If you need
to assemble it yourself, connect the chain shuttle to the chain with screw C tightened firmly. Move shuttle B to half way along
the rail section, grease the chain and sprocket (Fig. 3) with a lithium type grease or equivalent. Do not use oil type lubricants.

5
 Installation. Please ignore middle bracket on extrution.

Position the bracket (E) on the studs (D) and secure them in place using 6 mm wing nuts.
Fix the DTS600/800 opener to the doorframe or to the ceiling with the correct fixing (Fig. 5) maintaining a min. gap of 30 mm
from the panel’s maximum height (Fig. 6). Check measurements for drilling insert and lock brackets F and fix the DTS600/800
opener to the ceiling with the correct fixings (Fig 6). Cut off any fixing straps excess.
Warning: Make sure the opener is affixed to noggins in ceiling and not just to plasterboard. Failure to have safe secure
fixing will lead to opener falling causing serious personal and/or property damage.

Note: A set of fixing straps should be located in the centre of the aluminium rail to prevent flex that will result in phantom
reversing.

Installation
Remember there are specific standards that have to be strictly followed regarding the safety of electrical installations and
automatic gates and doors.
As well as the legal requirements and standards that must be adhered to, please take note of the following points to ensure
maximum safety and reliability of your installation.
3.1) Prior to installing check the surrounding environment. Carefully evaluate any hazards there could be from physical damage
(transiting vehicles, parts of trees falling etc.), possible contact with foreign bodies (insects, leaves, etc.). Flooding hazards
or any others exceptional events.
3.2) Check that the main voltage is the same as that given on the rating plate and in this manual.
3.3) Check that there is suitable electrical protection against short circuit/power spikes and proper earth on the main supply.

Remember the unit has mains voltage running through it (electrocution hazards, fire hazards).
3.4) Take care with the control unit, parts may be subject to damage if abused.
3.5) Make sure you have all the necessary materials and that they are suitable for this kind of use.
3.6) Read all the instructions thoroughly and make sure they are understood before attempting to install the DTS600/800.
3.7) Before starting the installation, carefully analyse all the risks relating to automating the door. Verify that the door to be
automated is in a sound condition and that the mechanisms are in good working order, observe the safety margins and
minimum distances.
3.8) Evaluate with particular care the safety devices to be installed and where to install them, always install an emergency stop
device for interruption of power to the opener if required.
3.9) Once the risks have been analysed, install the DTS600/800 opener and relative safety devices, emergency stop and
photoelectric cells.

Important: Infra Red Beams must be fitted if auto close is activated.

3.10) When installing the DTS600/800 opener, strictly follow all the instructions given in the instruction manual. If some points
or procedures in this manual are not very clear, do not install until all doubts have been cleared up with our technical
department.

Terminals and Connections.

1) GND & PB = Push Button terminals. Step by step command input (open, stop, close) same as the step by step button on the
transmitter.
2) GND & PE = Photo beam terminals.
3) 24V & GND & PB = Plug in receiver terminals.
To safeguard the operator and avoid damaging components while wiring, disconnect the unit from all power when working on
it.
Remember that there are specific strict standards that must be complied with in regards to both the safety of the electrical
systems and the automatic doors.
Only qualified, trained personnel may carry out the installation and subsequent maintenance.
Whoever installs and uses the DTS600/800 door opener will be held responsible for any damage caused.
NOTE: Contact DTS Security Products technical department for the wiring diagram for the above connections if uncertain of
the correct procedures.

Programming the Unit.

The system must be checked and tested when connections are completed.
4.1) Check that the chain support is halfway so that movement is problem free both in opening and closing.
Make sure that all the standards relative to the automatic gates and doors category have been observed.
4.2) Now carry out a test with the door disconnected from the motor and open and close the door to verify that the mechanical
parts are all in good working order and the door does not bind or jam in its tracks.
4.3) Power the unit. As soon as the unit is powered, the system displays a 7 segment LED number from 0 – 9 and the lamp will
turn on for 2 seconds.
4.3.1) If the LED display is upside down, press the SET (K1) button once, then the LED will display the number in the correct
direction.
The system will remember the display direction. It will display correctly the next time the power is turned back on.
4.3.2) If this is not the case, switch the power off immediately and check connections carefully.
4.4) Check that all the safety devices on the unit are working properly (emergency stop, photo beam, etc.). This is one of the
most important checks and must be done with great care, in fact, the active safety of the automatic door depends on the
correct functioning of the safety devices. The reversing sensitivity device is of great help in minimizing damage but only
the correct installation of the safety devices will make it possible to stop the door before it can cause any damage or injury
to person and/or property.
4.5) It is now time to set the opening and closing position.

Maintenance.
No particular maintenance is required for the logic circuit board. Check at least twice a year that the door is properly balanced
and that all working parts are in good working condition.
IMPORTANT: A poorly operating door can affect the life of the automatic operator due to incorrect loads and will void the
warranty. Make sure that the safety devices are working effectively (photo beams, etc.). Check the reversing sensitivity at
least twice a year and adjust if necessary.

Final Notes.
This manual is only for the use of technical personnel qualified to carry out the installation. No information given in this
manual can be considered of any interest to the end user. No setting or adjustments contained in this manual can be carried
out by the end user.
It is important for the installer to show their clients correct operational use of the DTS600/800 operator, including the use of the
manual disengagement cord. Inform the owner about the need for a regular and accurate maintenance, especially regarding a
regular check of the safety and reversing devices.

2600mm.

Manual Disengagement.
The DTS600/800 is equipped with a manual release cord to disengage the shuttle and move the door by hand while holding the
handle down (Fig. 8). To operate, pull on the handle to disengage the shuttle. To re-engage the door, simple run the operator
in automatic mode or move door by hand until the trolley engages in the shuttle.
For situations where a pedestrian door is not present it is recommended that an external disengagement device is fitted. (Fig. 9).

Important Information for the User.

Once the DTS600/800 operator has been installed, the user must be informed about how it works and all the risks that can arise
if it is used improperly. The user must avoid placing himself/herself in dangerous situations such as standing within the door’s
operating range when it is moving.
Do not let children play near the door and keep the remote controls out of their reach.
All servicing, repairs or checks must be carried out by professionally qualified personnel and noted on a maintenance register
kept by the user.
