SmartJack Operator

The world's most intelligent commercial door operator

The SmartJack is the world's most intelligent commercial door operator. Built to withstand the harshest high-cycle environments imaginable, SmartJack comes standard with several exclusive features that will change your door system forever.

Most operator failures in wash bays are not mysterious. Water gets into the electronics, hard starts hammer the springs and cables, and the duty cycle simply outruns what the operator was built for. SmartJack answers each failure directly: a sealed gearbox and motor keep the wet out, slow-start slow-stop operation takes the shock loads off the whole door system, and high-speed operation keeps traffic moving through the bay.

Why It Works

  • Slow-start, slow-stop functionality for smooth door operation.
  • Sealed gearbox and motor, engineered for wet, corrosive environments.
  • Built for high-cycle commercial duty.
  • Fully programmable to your facility's workflow.
  • Gentler cycling extends the life of springs, cables, and panels.
  • Retrofits onto existing doors without replacing the safety accessories you already own.
  • Noise-sensitive buildings such as hospitals, schools, and restaurants can run a commercial door without the racket.

Specification Highlights

  • Choice of incoming power: 120 VAC single phase, or 230 or 460 VAC single or three phase
  • NEMA 4X rated enclosure, with the Auto/Hand switch and disconnect handle mounted on the cover
  • Open, Close, and Stop buttons on the enclosure door
  • Variable Frequency Drive controls motor speed and direction
  • Encoder for positioning plus a sensor for the full closed position
  • TEFC motor and NEMA 4X control panel for wash bay duty
  • Amperage-based automatic door reversal monitors current draw and reverses the door if a spike occurs
  • Fully adjustable acceleration, deceleration, full speed, and slow speed, tuned separately for the open and close positions
  • Auto-close timer, motor timeout, password protection, and advanced door collision protection

Engineered for the Environment

Slow-Start, Slow-Stop
Variable-speed operation reduces wear on cables, springs, and panels.
Sealed Gearbox
Fully sealed against water, salt, and chemical contamination.
High-Cycle Duty
Built for tens of thousands of cycles per year without service intervention.
Programmable
Set timing, sensor sensitivity, and safety stops to match your facility.
Keeps the Accessories You Have
Upgrading an existing operator does not mean rebuying the safety package. SmartJack integrates with most major brands of door accessories available today, including wired or wireless safety edges, standard or UL325 safety eyes, light curtains of any length, loop detectors, radio controls, and 3-pushbutton stations.
Control Box Out of the Spray
The panel can be mounted in the wash bay or in an adjacent room, which helps on retrofits and new construction alike. Connect a typical 3-button switch and run the door from anywhere in the building.
Talks to the Rest of the Building
Shutting down the heater or HVAC system while the doors are open takes one of SmartJack's door-open outputs interrupting the circuit. Existing loop detectors land straight on the input terminals.
Troubleshoot from the Panel
The programmable logic controller has an input and output screen that shows when an input or output is triggered, which shortens on-site installation and service calls.
