Built with convenience in mind, our automatic door operators also make it safer and easier to perform daily job duties so you can improve efficiency and close the door on your competition.
Overhead Door’s automatic door operators are manufactured to meet the performance requirements of our commercial and industrial doors, offering precise control of your door system for years of trouble-free operation. To improve safety and enhance the life of your door and motor, the industry’s guidelines for quality assurance recommend a single manufacturer for both door and operator. Overhead Door is the only manufacturer that offers a full line of commercial and industrial doors and operators specifically designed for integral applications. We offer the industry’s broadest line of electric, automatic door operators to suit new construction and retrofit applications, as well as unusual or special requirements. Overhead Door commercial operators are UL 325 2010 compliant.
The RSX Operator is our standard duty commercial operator, which is ideal for an overhead door that is less than 26 feet wide. The RHX Operator is our heavy duty commercial operator and is recommended for any overhead doors that are 26 feet wide and larger. They both provide:
- Easy operation with superior functionality for the most stringent applications
- Easy limit setting with Limit Lock – this is an electro/mechanical limit sensor that makes it easy to set and maintain limits
- Voltage freedom with Voltamatic – one unit for single phase voltages (115/208/230V), one unit for three phase voltages (208/230/460V) and one unit for three phase 575V
- Extra door system durability with Progressive Breaking – DC brake system brings the door to a soft stop for less wear and tear on the system
- Easy installation and trouble-shooting – intelligent menu structure and expanded self-diagnostics
- Advanced radio receiver system with auto seek frequency range – quickly and easily learns up to 250 CodeDodger 1 transmitters. This system will automatically cycle between the 315 and 390 frequencies. Radio transmitters may be single-button, two-button, three-button, four-button, or Open/Close/Stop. They are easily programmed or erased using the LCD display.
- UL325 2010 compliant – this new standard requires the addition of monitored external entrapment devices prior to the operator working in momentary contact in the close direction
Not only does the size of your door opening dictate which type of commercial operator is best, but it’s also important to take the door’s overall weight and thickness, and the square footage of your opening into consideration. For example, here are the differences and limits for the RSX and RHX Operators:
| RSX Operator | RHX Operator |
| Does not feature a gear system | Features a true gear head system – primary drive reduction is via worm gear running in oil both, which provides reliable operation |
| Suitable for up to 590 square feet | Suitable for up to 1,164 square feet |
| Suitable for up to 1,620 lbs. | Suitable for up to 3,700 lbs. |
