when working with electrical orelectronic controls, make surethat the power source has beenlocked out and tagged accordingto osha regulations or yourcountry’s local standards andapproved local electrical codes.

loCKout / taGout proCeduresThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that, in addition to posting safetywarnings and barricading the work area, the power supply has been locked in the OFF position ordisconnected. It is mandatory that an approved lockout device is utilized. An example of a lockout device isillustrated in Figure 1. The proper lockout procedure requires that the person responsible for the repairs isthe only person who has the ability to remove the lockout device.

In addition to the lockout device, it is also a requirement to tag the power control in a manner that willclearly note that repairs are under way and state who is responsible for the lockout condition. Tagoutdevices have to be constructed and printed so that exposure to weather conditions or wet and damplocations will not cause the tag to deteriorate or become unreadable.

RITE-HITE® Corporation does not recommend any particular lockout device, but recommends the utilizationof a device that meets OSHA standards (refer to OSHA regulation 1910.147). RITE-HITE® Corporation alsorecommends the review and implementation of an entire safety program for the Control of HazardousEnergy (Lockout/Tagout). These regulations are available through OSHA publication 3120.

determine door deputy hold-opentm mechanismmounting location Determine which side of the door the Hold-OpenTM

Mechanism will be mounted on. This is done byexamining the area above the door opening outsidethe track. The Hold-OpenTM Mechanism requiresabout 12" of space outside the track as well as 6"above and 6" below the top of the door opening.Look for control boxes, bollards, conduit, water pipes, air lines, racks, etc. that may interfere.

mounting of door deputy1. Use the hole location template, shown in Figure 1, to drill a 1" hole on the center line of the roller track

2 3/4” above the door lintel. Drill two (2) 1/4" holes below the center of the first hole on the center lineas shown in Figure 2.

2. Attach the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism to the track using two (2) 1/4" X 3/4" track bolts. Be sure to havethe heads of the bolts nearest the rollers (on the inside of the track) to avoid interference during dooroperation. Attach one end of the rope to the lever and tie the other end to the ring supplied. Attachthe ring to the wall or track to prevent the rope from blowing into the door way if desired. Move thedoor pull down rope to the same side as the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism as well if desired. (Mostcustomers prefer to have the Door DeputyTM and door rope on the same side).

paddle attachmentAttach the Paddle to the top of the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism using two (2) 1/4" X 3/4" track bolts through thetwo holes of the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism closest to the door. Make sure the back two holes of the paddlealign with the back two holes on top of the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism. Hand tighten these bolts to allow forfinal adjustments later in the installation.

mounted on the left side of the door, conversion will be necessary. First, unscrew the bolt thatgoes through the Flipper arm and move the Flipper arm to the hole which was not previouslybeing used. Secure the bolt through the Flipper arm but do not over tighten. (See Figures 4& 5 for completed conversions.) The Flipper arm must be able to rotate freely. For proper bracket adjustment see Adjustment Section on page 8.

lowest roller on the same side of the door as the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism. Be sure to alignthe edge of the Bracket with the edge of the door panel as shown in Figure 6. Use outermost holes if possible.

3. Check the track to make sure there are no obstructions on or around the track that couldprevent the movement of the Flipper arm which extends from the Catch Bracket as the doortravels up and down.

4. In some cases, obstructions on the door may prevent the catch bracket from being mountedlow enough on the door. The flipper arm half of the bracket may be lowered below thestandard mounting holes, if necessary, as long as two bolts can be used to secure thebracket. Be careful not to lower the bracket below the bottom of the door.

installation oF door deputy roller Guard1. Secure the Roller Guard to the Catch Bracket using 2 bolts. The Roller Guard should be installed as close to the

bottom of the roller as possible and engage the Lock Up Mechanism when the door is raised and the DoorDeputy is activated.

2. Check to make sure the Roller Guard does not rub the track as the door is raised or lowered. Also, check tomake sure the Roller Guard is passing above the plunger before the Door Deputy Hold Up Mechanism isactivated.

3. Grind or cut off any part of the Roller Guard if necessary due to rubbing and touch up paint as required. TheDoor Deputy Flag can be bent up to delay activation if necessary. The part of the Catch Bracket attached to theFlipper Arm may also be lowered using the 2 horizontal holes to secure the bracket to delay the activation aswell.

latch bracket installationAlign the edge of the Latch Bracket with the edge of the door as shown in Figure 7. The LatchBracket is normally mounted near the top of the second panel. Attach the Latch Bracket using(4) 1/4" through bolts. It can be mounted higher if necessary due to obstructions. For proper bracket adjustment seeAdjustment Section on page 8. Use outer most holes if possible.

lock-downTM mechanism installation1. The Lock-DownTM Mechanism is assembled for use on the right side of the door. If the unit is to be mounted on

the left side of the door, conversion will be necessary. To convert for left side mounting, remove the nut form thebolt that goes through the lock wedge. Be sure to hold onto the wedge as you remove the bolt to keep thewedge from being pushed out of the Lock-DownTM Mechanism. (See Figure 8) Spin the wedge one half turn(without removing the wedge from the Lock-DownTM Mechanism) and reinsert the bolt from the other side of theLock-DownTM Mechanism. Secure the nut to complete the conversion. (See Figures 9 & 10 for completed LatchBracket Assemblies.

2. Lower the door completely. Position the Lock-DownTM Mechanism against the track just above the Latch Bracketand slide the Lock-DownTM Mechanism as close to the bracket as possible to maximize activation. Mark two holesas near the center line of the track as possible. Drill two 1/4" holes and then install the Lock-DownTM Mechanismusing the two (2) 3" X 3/4" track bolts provided. Be sure to have the heads of the bolts nearest the rollers (on theinside of the track) to avoid interference. (See Figure 11)

adJustments

bracket adjustmentsFor units with both Hold-OpenTM and Lock-DownTM Mechanisms set the Latch Bracket first and thenthe Catch Bracket. For safety reasons, it is recommended that the brackets be installed as close tothe track as possible. For combination units use the same projection holes for the Latch Bracketand Catch Bracket. This will provide adequate spacing for proper operation.

paddle adjustmentsMake sure the Latch Bracket does not activate the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism. If it does adjust theposition of the paddle using the alternative mounting holes.

Flipper arm adjustmentsOnce the Paddle will clear the Latch Bracket make sure the Flipper Arm fully activates the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism and releases the spring by contacting the paddle. Relocate the Flipper Armusing the alternative mounting holes.

top bumper adjustmentsSome doors have bumpers located at the top of the track to prevent the door from sliding off thetop of the track. In some cases these bumpers may interfer with the proper function of the DoorDeputy. DO NOT remove these bumpers, but some adjustment may be required if necessary toallow the door to go 3”-4” higher up the tracks.

Cover attachmentsAfter all the adjustments have been made and the unit is functioning properly the final step is toattach the cover to the Hold-OpenTM Mechanism. Do this using (2) 1/2” #10 bolts.
