1. INTRODUCTION
It is the intent of this manual to give the reader certain key points of information critical to the proper
installation of the door operator conversion kit. This retrofit kit is designed to replace the drive components
of an existing SEC QKS16 or IDD operator with GAL’s MOVFE-HL operator.

The existing QKS16 header, tracks and hangers are retained, allowing the user to easily replace the motor
and add door sensors and controls instead of removing the entire header assembly and rehanging the doors.

When properly installed, GAL door operators will give many years of trouble-free service and reliability.

IMPORTANT NOTES
All equipment must be installed, adjusted, tested, and maintained to comply with all Federal, State/Provincial,
and Local codes.

Kinetic Energy and Stall Force must be adjusted to comply with ASME, A17.1, Rule 112.4/5, and CSA/B44,
Rule 2.13.4/5.

2.2. PRELIMINARY STEPS

Remove the car from service, in compliance with standard safety
policies. Disconnect the existing operator from the controller. Leave
the existing gate switch wired and installed. It will be used with the new
configuration.

Figure 2: Existing Gate Switch

2.3. MOTOR AND DRIVE REPLACEMENT

Loosen the jack bolt to remove the Multi-V Belt and save this for
later. Remove the QKS16 motor assembly.

Mount the GAL adaptor and motor assembly to the existing QKS16 EXISTING
motor plate using (4) bolts. The GAL motor bracket assembly has MOTOR
(10) openings for snap nuts. The nuts should be field installed
based on the existing motor bracket’s hole pattern.

The inner pattern has (4) openings and uses 1/4-20 V BELT
hardware. This configuration is typically used for the 230V
operators, QKS16VF and IDD (330A or 400A controllers).

The outer pattern has (6) openings and uses 3/8-16 hardware. This
configuration is typically used for the 115V operators, QKS16 (HX EXISTING
MOUNTING
and 321A controllers). The top (2) openings are always used. Select PLATE

2.4. SENSOR MOUNTING

The Sensor Bracket is designed to mount the MOVFE-HL sensors directly to the header. Self-drilling screws
are provided to mount the bracket to the header. The activating magnet should be mounted to the outside of
the existing gate switch roller bracket after the existing magnet is removed and top of the bracket cut off.

With the door closed, find a clear space on the header behind the gate switch bracket to mount the DCL
sensor and bracket assembly. Make sure the header is also clear at the trailing edge for the DOL sensor and
bracket assembly. See chart on the next page for the exact placement of the sensors. The calculated “X”
dimension assumes a door lap of 1 ¼” for side slide doors.

Two self-drilling 1/4” screws are provided to mount each sensor bracket to the header.

• Cut the top of the gate switch roller bracket off and remove the existing magnet.
• Drill a hole at the top, using a #7 drill bit. The hole should be centered on the face of the sensor when the
door is fully closed.
• Secure the magnet to the outside of the bracket, facing the sensor, with the 8-32 hardware provided.
NOTE: Both sensors should face the same way and be horizontally in-line. The magnet should activate the
sensor about ¼” before full open/close.

Drill 7/8” holes next to the sensors and insert grommets. These holes allow the sensor wires to be fed back
to the limit box. NOTE: Be careful the hole does NOT interfere with existing components
behind the header.

2.8. MOVFE-HL DRIVE

The MOVFE-HL drive is an integral part of the MOVFE-HL system. Velocity and distance feedbacks are
combined to deliver precise and smooth stops at DOL or DCL every time.

MOVFE-HL drive provides the connections for:

• Single phase input power supply between L1 & L2 terminals.

– Note: 230V +/-15V or 115V +/-15V, 50/60Hz, and minimum 500VA are required.
• Earth ground
– Note: A True Earth Ground is required.
• Convenience Gate switch terminals: GS & GS1. Note! GS & GS1 are only convenience terminals. They have
no internal connection to the MOVFE-HL.
• 3-phase induction motor on U, V, W terminals.

The connector is a pluggable type to ease the connection and swapping the
drive. The RJ12 mating connector for the parameter unit is located on the
MOVFE-HL drive.

The International Ground Symbol is the True Earth Ground that is connected
to the system. A connector and a green screw, size 8/32 x 3/8, are provided
by GAL as shown. Use position 22-14 of the crimping tool to crimp the wire
into the connector and use the green screw to screw the ground connector
to the chassis of the MOVFE-HL door operator. The following materials are
recommended:

• A minimum # 14 AWG conductor size for Ground wire.

• Crimping tool made by SARGENT/USA.

4. KINETIC ENERGY AND ASME A17.1 2000

Requirement 2.13.4.2.4 of ASME A17.1 2000 stipulates that a data tag must be attached to the door
operator or car crosshead. If you are in a jurisdiction that has adopted the 2000 code, you need to read and
understand this requirement, and all the related requirements.

The data tag is required to show:

• The minimum closing code time for the door system that will result in average kinetic energy of less than
7.37 foot-pounds.
• The minimum code closing time for the door system, when in nudging, that will result in average kinetic
energy of less than 2.5 foot-pounds.
The attached data tables are designed to give GAL customers the information necessary to comply with
these requirements. If you use all GAL equipment, and follow GAL instructions, these sheets will give you the
minimum closing code time for the normal door configurations and sizes originally available for the QKS16
operator.

4.1. CODE CLOSING DISTANCE / TIME

On side opening, the code distance starts 2” from the jamb and goes to 2” from full close. (opening size – 4”)
On center opening, code distance starts 1” from the jamb and goes to 1” from full close. (still opening size –
4”) Times shown are minimums for the code closing distance.

4.2. AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY (7.37 FT LBS)

This is the requirement for which the times shown on the data tables were calculated. The rotational inertia
of the motor and operator is included in these calculations. GAL’s calculations include equipment rigidly
connected thereto and accommodate all hangers, rollers, clutches, closers, releases, and any normal
reopening devices.

4.3. ACTUAL (PEAK) KINETIC ENERGY (17 FT LBS)

Using GAL equipment and following GAL instructions, you will not exceed the requirement for
actual (peak) KE.

4.4. NUDGING KINETIC ENERGY (2.5 FT LBS)

If taking the minimum closing code time for your application and doubling it, you will have a safe time to use
for the requirement under nudging. (Note – this is a very conservative time, if you want to close your door
more quickly while in nudging, call GAL for an absolute minimum).

paragraphs are excerpted from ASME 17.1 2000. They are provided here for your convenience only.

DOC-0140N | G.A.L. Manufacturing Company LLC 27

GAL CONVERSION KIT MOVFE-HL TO REPLACE
EXISTING SEC QKS16 LINEAR AND IDD OPERATORS

4.5. NON-STANDARD SYSTEMS

A non-standard application, like panels that are so heavy or light that they fall outside the range shown
on the data tables, you can call GAL and we will calculate closing code time for your job. The following
paragraphs are excerpted from ASME 17.1 2000. They are provided here for your convenience only.

2.13.4.2.4 Data Plate. A data plate conforming to 2.16.3.3 shall be attached to the power door operator or
to the car crosshead and shall contain the following information:

a. minimum door closing time in seconds for the doors to travel the code zone distance as specified in
2.13.4.2.2 corresponding to the kinetic energy limits specified in 2.13.4.2.1(b)(2);

b. minimum door closing time in seconds for the doors to travel the Code zone distance as specified
in 2.13.4.2.2 corresponding to the kinetic energy limits specified in 2.13.4.2.1(c)(2), if applicable [see
2.27.3.1.6(e)];

c. where heavier hoistway doors are used at certain floors, the minimum door closing time in seconds
corresponding to the kinetic energy limits specified in 2.13.4.2.1(b)(2) and 2.13.4.2.1(c)(2), if applicable,
for the corresponding floors shall be included on the data plate.

2.13.4.2.1 Kinetic Energy

a. Where the hoistway door and the car door/gate are closed in such a manner that stopping either one
manually will stop both, the kinetic energy of the closing door system shall be based upon the sum of the
hoistway and the car door weights, as well as all parts rigidly connected thereto, including the rotational
inertia effects of the door operator and the connecting transmission to the door panels.

b. Where a reopening device conforming to 2.13.5 is used, the closing door system shall conform to the
following requirements.

1. The kinetic energy computed for the actual closing speed at any point in the Code zone distance
defined by 2.13.4.2.2 shall not exceed 23 J (17 ft-lbf); and

2. The kinetic energy computed for the average closing speed as determined in accordance with
2.13.4.2.2 shall not exceed 10 J (7.37 ft-lbf).

c. Where a reopening device is not used, or has been rendered inoperative (see 2.13.5), the closing door
system shall conform to the following requirements:

1. The kinetic energy computed for the actual closing speed at any point in the code zone distance
defined by 2.13.4.2.2 shall not exceed 8 J (6 ft-lbf).

2. The kinetic energy computed for the average closing speed within the code zone distance (see
2.13.4.2.2), or in any exposed opening width, including the last increment of door travel, shall not
exceed 3.5 J (2.5 ft-lbf).

NOTE:
The term “Door Weight” in the tables refers to the combined weight of all doors, including all car door (s) and
all hoistway door(s) (of one floor only).

Also, note that if the weight of the hoistway door(s) varies by floor, different settings of the code distance
closing time must be used from the table.
