Genesys Electrical Box

OVERVIEW

The Diamond Genesys electrical box is the first ever UL325 certified bi-fold door opener on the market. Our innovative Genesys circuit board features plug-n-play installation on future upgrades, onboard diagnostics, built in emergency override controls, and more. We supply all power and control wires, and they are factory installed to the door frame so you can get your door up and running quickly and efficiently. This means our doors require no onsite electrical connections on the door frame and have a watertight junction box for control wire connections.

The Genesys control box meets NEMA 4/4X/12 and IP64 specifications. This control box is also watertight, eliminating the risk of environmental hazards like dust and water. It is factory wired and tested, and all electrical components are pre-set to factory specifications.

Every Diamond Door comes standard with open-close limit switches. The limit switch determines how far the door opens and closes. These limit switches are located inside the main electrical box. The closed limit switch is pre-set in the factory, while the open limit switch requires final adjustment on-site once the door is installed. This procedure can be found in the owner’s manual or install manual.

The main fuses are located inside the Genesys electrical box. They provide security to other electrical components by protecting them from high voltage power surges.

The thermal overloads are also located inside the electrical box. They are sized according to each door and provide protection against a large amp draw. These overloads to the electric lift system come with an automatic reset system which will reset within 30 seconds if an overload occurs.

Gearbox

OVERVIEW

Diamond Doors operate with an industrial grade gearbox determined by door size, weight, and opener speed. These gear boxes are oil-bath lubricated and come factory filled.

Our gearbox (in combination with the driveline, electric lift motor, standard lift cables, and “Y” pushers), provides a standard open rate of 18ft per minute. The gearbox ratio ranges from 32:1 up to 90:1, providing customers with the industry’s fastest opening bi-fold door. Our drive system speed can be further increased with our speed increase kit. This option will increase the opening rate by 20-25%.

Door safety is especially important to us at Diamond Doors, which is why we engineer our doors with an overrated gearbox. Our gearboxes are rated for continuous use, which is significantly above the requirements for even the most frequently used doors.

Our sidewinder mounted gear boxes have a direct drive system. This simple design is exclusive to Diamond Doors. Not only is it effective, but using a simplified system eliminates the likelihood of chain failure and reduces maintenance. This drive system is used on doors of 600sq/ft or less. Center mounted gear boxes are placed in the middle of the door, coupling the two drivelines together.

TECHNICAL SPECS

Oil Application System: Oil Bath
Standard Opening Speed: 18ft per minute
Gear Ratio: 32:1 – 90:1

FAQ

How often do I have to change the gearbox oil?
Unless there is evidence that oil has been leaking out, the oil in the gear box should be checked every three months. Low usage doors typically need the oil changed after several years. You can refer to the owner’s manual for oil change procedure.
Do I need to add oil to the gearbox?
The gearbox comes oil-bath lubricated and factory filled. When it comes time to top up the oil, refer to the owners manual for oil recommendations specific to your climate.
What type of gear system does your gearbox have?
Our Gearboxes utilize a Worm Gear System. These gear systems are unlikely to turn backwards, creating a natural brake – another safety precaution we have implemented.

Frame Finishing

OVERVIEW

All Diamond doors come standard with our two-part urethane finish paint. Two-part polyurethane finishes provide excellent resistance to everyday damage like scratches and dings. This finish also provides superior gloss and shine for a long lasting and attractive finish. Known to withstand radiation, this paint finish holds up against the sun’s UV rays, reducing results like fading and flaking.

Doors come standard in the traditional Diamond Doors charcoal gray. However, we offer a wide variety of colours upon request to match the aesthetic specifications of your building. To specify a custom colour, all we require is a RAL or QC number.

In addition to the two-part polyurethane paint, Diamond Doors offers a powder coated finish. The powder coating is available in varying textures, colours, and sheens of your choice. This finish is aesthetically pleasing and extremely durable. This application is suitable for projects with a greater focus on design and those located in harsh environments.

Diamond Doors also offers a stainless steel frame. This frame requires no finishing, as the raw stainless steel is desirable for design and is exceptionally durable for corrosive environments. This frame is also ideal for coastal locations.

Driveline

OVERVIEW

The Diamond Doors exclusive driveline design provides a low maintenance, smooth operation. Unlike competitor systems, our cables never overlap. (Overlap is the primary reason for shortened cable life). This innovative system provides offset during lift, guiding the cables around the driveline like a candy cane.

Driveline diameter is dependant on door size, gear ratio, and the required lifting speed you would prefer. The driveline is coupled to the lower internal truss by a series of industrial grade pillow block bearings and Teflon bushings.

TECHNICAL SPECS

Lift System: Cables

Finish: Standard Two-part Polyurethane Paint in Charcoal Grey

Opening Speed: Standard 18/ft per min.

FAQ

What maintenance do I have to perform on the driveline?
Our driveline is designed for low maintenance. The only required maintenance is greasing your pillow block bearings and bushings. Please refer to the owner’s manual for periodic maintenance procedures.
Do the cables wrap up on drums?
Unlike a cable drum, our design has a continuous diameter. The cables wrap onto the driveline itself, instead of overlapping onto a drum.

WARRANTY

The door is free of manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years.
