High-Speed Ultra Heavy-Duty Industrial Jackshaft Operator For Sectional Doors
>150 CYCLES/DAY
APPLICATIONS
The Rapido® RMSJ is a high speed ultra heavy-duty V-belt drive industrial operator designed for use on properly counterbalanced large sectional doors.1
The Rapido® line of jackshaft operators is designed to offer up to 2X the speed compared to standard jackshaft operators. It enhances the door system’s performance by managing soft-starts and soft-stops, which helps minimize wear and tear, prolonging the overall lifespan of the door system. This feature ensures smoother operation and reduces mechanical stress on components.2
The Manaras-Opera control is based on its legendary Electronic Control Board which delivers high performance and reliability while providing on-board control plus speed managing features.
Suggested Applications:
- First Responder • Emergency Vehicle Facilities
- Automotive Dealerships • Transportation Facilities
- Airports • Military Facilities
- Energy Management • Energy Efficient • LEED Buildings
- Loading Docks • Warehouses • Distribution Centers
STANDARD FEATURES

#50 roller chain with sprockets selected for an opening door travel
between 12"/s to 24"/s.
• Brake:
Electrically activated high-cycle drum-band type solenoid brake.
• Manual Operation:
Emergency manual chain hoist.3 Floor level chain hoist engaging device with
electrical cut-out. An electrical interlock automatically disconnects
power to the motor operator when chain hoist is engaged. Hoist on
right is standard, hoist handing must be specified when ordering.
• Electrical Enclosure:
All electrical components are in a Nema 1 enclosure. Hinged electrical enclosure cover with stable opened position.
• Limit System:
Rotary-type oil-impregnated steel cams, commercial grade switches. Limit shaft is supported by self-lubricating bronze bushings for increased precision. Remains in time when there is a manual operation or after the motor has been removed.
• Accu-cam® Feature:
Precise and quick one-handed adjustment of the limits.
• Non-Resettable Cycle Counter:
6-digit electro-mechanical counter, mounted inside the control box, counts each complete door cycle providing valuable data for maintenance scheduling.

Frame and control enclosure protected by baked on, long lasting enamel finish. Polymer control box cover. All shafts protected by yellow chromate coating.
• Mounting:
Wall, hood, or shelf mounted on the right or on the left of the door. For indoor use only.
• Temperature Range:
Working temperature between 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Dimensions:
Clearance: side room required 16" (460 mm)
For more details, please consult our Dimensions Drawing.
• Shipping Weight:
Approx. 107 lb - 49 kg.
• Warranty:

memory. Features available: On-board radio receiver, 1.5s delay
on reverse, programmable maximum run timer, mid-stop, timer to
close (suspension possible from floor level), built-in cycle-counter,
independent input loop terminal, advance close system, test
buttons, reverse wiring detection and door lock sensor. Operating mode selectable on site: C2, B2, D1, E2, T or TS.
• Electronic Monitored (M) Version:
Provides the monitoring of Primary External Entrapment Protection Devices. Includes NEMA 4X monitored photoelectric cells (PHOTO 061 standard). In this mode, Ancillary Entrapment Protection Devices (optional) may be used to supplement primary entrapment protection, such as non-monitored photoelectric cells, 2-wire non-monitored sensing edges and pneumatic sensing edges.
Certifications: ANSI/CAN/UL 325.

Note: ANSI/CAN/UL325 apply to units intended to be used in ordinary locations in accordance with the Canadian electrical code, part I and the Nationalelectrical code, NFPA 70, respectively.
