Grille Pattern:

  • Standard, for grilles to 30’0” wide:
    The grille curtain will be Pattern 5014-M92 constructed of solid 516” diameter horizontal aluminum rods on 2” centers with ” aluminum hinged vertical connecting links (” deep by 3¾” high) 9” on center.
  • Heavy, for all size grilles
    The grille curtain will be heavy duty Pattern 5015-9 constructed of solid 516” diameter horizontal aluminum rods with ½” tube spacers on 1½” centers with 316” thick aluminum hinged vertical connecting links (” deep by 2¼” high) 9” on center.

Other patterns, including 3” and 6” spacing are available on request.  All-Rite designers frequently work with architects and owners in the development of customized grille patterns.

Safety Edge System:

  • Featheredge:
    The bottom bar includes the Featheredge safety edge system.
    The Featheredge rolling door safety edge system includes the following features:
    • The Featheredge device will be installed on the bottom bar of the door and will automatically reverse the door if the device detects an obstruction in the downward travel of the door.
    • The Featheredge consists of a rubber boot attached below the bottom bar with an electrical switch secured to the back of the bottom bar.
    • The Featheredge operates with air wave technology and does not rely on pneumatic pressure or electrical strip contacts to operate properly.
    • The Featheredge creates an air wave that will be detected and reverse the direction of the rolling door.
    • The operation of the Featheredge is not subject to interferences by temperature, barometric pressure, water infiltration, or cuts in the rubber boot.
    • The Featheredge is connected to the motor with a coil cord.
  • Phantom Featheredge:
    The bottom bar includes the Phantom Featheredge safety edge system.
    The Phantom Featheredge rolling door safety edge system includes the following features:
    • The Phantom Featheredge device will be installed on the bottom bar of the door and will automatically reverse the door if the device detects an obstruction in the downward travel of the door.
    • The Phantom Featheredge consists of a rubber boot attached below the bottom bar with a switch secured to the back of the bottom bar.
    • The Phantom Featheredge operates with air wave technology and does not rely on pneumatic pressure or electrical contacts to operate.
    • The Phantom Featheredge creates an air wave that will be detected by the switch which reverses the downward direction of the rolling door.
    • The Phantom Featheredge does not require a connection cord or any means of electrical connection to the motor control panel.
    • The Phantom Featheredge is of fail-safe construction, and on every cycle performs a self diagnostic test. If any part of the Phantom Featheredge fails, the door closing operation changes from momentary pressure to constant pressure requiring constant pressure on the close control station to move the door in a downward motion. Repairing the Phantom Featheredge will automatically return the closing operation to momentary pressure.
    • The operation of the Phantom Featheredge is not subject to interferences by temperature, barometric pressure, water infiltration, or punctures and small tears.
    • The Phantom Featheredge performs with an extremely small amount of impact pressure.

Operation:
The motor will be one of:

  • Belt Drive or Motor (Gearhead - Horizontal)
    The grille is operated at a speed of 2/3 foot per second by an open drip-proof electric motor with belt drive and roller chain sprocket reducer.
  • Motor (Gearhead - Vertical)
    The grille is operated at a speed of 2/3 foot per second by an open drip-proof electric motor with gear reducer in oil bath.

The motor operator includes a geared limit switch, and an electrically interlocked emergency chain operator. The motor starter is be housed in a NEMA 1 housing and includes a magnetic reversing starter size 0, a 24 volt control transformer, and complete terminal strip to facilitate field wiring. The motor operator is activated by [a 3 button push-button station] [other controls as selected] in a NEMA 1 enclosure. The motor is the size as required by the grille [115 volts single phase] [230 volts single phase] [230 volts three phase] [460 volts three phase]. The motor operator is mounted to the grille bracket. All motor operators are U.L. listed.


Locking Mechanisms

  • Motor operated grilles are secured by means of a cylinder lock in the bottom bar, electrically interlocked to prevent the motor from operating when the grille is locked.

Installation

  • All-Rite Aluminum Rolling Grilles  must installed by an authorized All-Rite representative.

Warranty
