CURTAIN
Constructed of Interlocking, roll-formed 3.0” curved galvanized  slats, Structural Quality Grade D per ASTM-A653/A653-M as standard.
Material Options: Stainless Steel or Aluminum. 
Finish Options: Tan, White or Grey; or ExoShield ™ Powder Coating.

GALVANIZED ENDLOCKS/WINDLOCKS
Ductile Cast iron, hot-dipped galvanized endlocks/windlocks are riveted to the ends of the slats with 1/4” rivets. Option in brass material which prevents sparking. Furnish windlocks based on wind load specifications

BOTTOM BAR
Two galvanized roll-formed steel or structural steel angles which are designed to reinforce the bottom of the curtain. Equipped with rubber astragal or a sensing edge which extends into the guides. Galvanized steel as per ASTM-A653/A653-M.
OPTION: Exo-Shield™ Powder coating to match curtain.

BRACKETS
Carbon Steel plate not less than 1/4” thick with ball bearings at rotating support point on drive side bracket.  When bolted to the wall, the mounting angle supports the barrel/pipe assembly and forms an end enclosure. OPTION: Stop lock bearing which prevents the door from free falling in the event of a drive operation failure

GUIDES
Alpine’s Guide system is designed using structural steel angles with a minimum thickness of 3/16” meeting the ASTM A36 Standard that are bolted together with ⅜” fasteners in 1-¼ ” slotted connections bolted at a minimum 24” on center. One inch spacing of the guide channel ensures smooth operation. 

SPRING COUNTERBALANCE
Pipe shall be manufactured with a diameter and wall thickness to restrict maximum deflection to 0.03” per foot of door width.  Springs are helical torsion type which are designed to include an overload factor of 25% for optimum ease of operation., The springs are grease packed and mounted on a cold rolled steel inner shaft. Spring tension is adjustable from the outside of the end bracket. Sealed ball bearings are designed to prevent wear on the shaft at each end of the pipe/barrel. 

Life Cycle: 20,000 up to 400,000

HOOD Hexagon (Option: Square or Round)
Made from #22-gauge galvanized steel as standard and formed to fit the contour of the end brackets. 
Finish Options: Plain galvanized steel or ExoShield™  powder coating to match curtain.

LOCKING
Option 1: Slide bolt locks on the bottom bar. 
Option 2: Cylinder locks. (Electric interlocks are recommended for motorized doors to prevent damage.)
Option 3: Motor acts as lock.

HOT DIPPED GALVANIZING (OPTION) 
Applied to the guides, brackets, and gears in addition to Standard Specifications. Applied where conditions of extreme or unusual atmospheric contamination is present. As per ASTM-A123.
(Pipe Shafts available with Zinc Enriched Powder Coating or Stainless-Steel)

FASCIA  GALVANIZED (OPTIONAL)
Useful where the area behind the hood is open. Especially applicable with pre-engineered buildings finish to match curtain.

Manual push up, handcrank or handchain operation. Choice of Redi-Master™, Redi-Hoist™, or Redi-Lift™ operators are available:

Alpine’s Redi-Master is a heavy industrial-duty, gear reduce hoist operator. Its features include a reduction unit comprised of a heavy-duty worme in an oil bath unit.

SAFETY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION 
Option 1: Monitored/non monitored sensing edge with a coil cord or take up reel, or a wireless monitored transmitter and receiver type sensing edge, or a non-monitored pneumatic sensing edge.
Option 2: NEMA 1 (Interior) or NEMA 4X (weather resistant) photo safety sensors mounted to the guides 6” above the finished floor that project an infrared beam across the width of the door.  Breaking the beam while the door is in motion will result in the immediate stop of downward travel and reverse the door to reopen to the top limit.

Alpine’s UL listed steel door operator is constructed with the highest quality material and the latest in technical innovation to ensure that each operator exceeds the requirements it is meant to achieve. Alpine is sure to have an electric gate operator that will meet all your individual specifications. Call Alpine today to learn more about the options for these operators, including a metal door motor.
