How to measure the space between the tilt-up garage door and the frame for the correct choice of straight or curved arm?
Correctly measuring the space between the tilt-up garage door and the frame is essential for selecting the right arm to use with Bazer or Rocket motors. The choice between a straight or curved arm is not random but should be guided by the available measurements.
Space required for arm selection
To determine the appropriate configuration, it is important to consider the existing support of the door. Measure the distance between the door support arm and the side post.
Indicators for choosing the arm
- Straight arm: You can use a straight arm if the space between the door and the frame is between 1.5 and 2 cm.
- Curved arm: If the available space is less than 1.5 cm, it is necessary to opt for the curved arm, which is positioned externally to this space.
Therefore, to achieve correct installation of the motor with a tilt-up garage door, ensure you take the necessary measurements and choose the appropriate arm based on the measured space. Following these instructions will guarantee efficient operation of the automation system.
