Is there anyone out there that has put a new TKE HDLM door operator on an existing DMC? The new operators come with the PA6 Universal Door Board and a UIT. I know that it can be set up for 485 communication. However, I am unsure if they will talk or not. As always, Vertical Express and TKE are of no help at all.
Tke has their new door operators that will work i believe. Ld16 operators. Never removed a dmc door operator. Just replaced the board since it communicates with everything such as the clc and selector.
Thanks for your input everyone. My problem is that we installed one HD/LM operator already. I know that the mechanical parts to the operator are very similar, could I switch the PA door board out for a PY or the FX2 board you are suggesting? What I am not sure of is that the PA operator has a VFD drive in it and runs a three phase AC motor. Are the PY or FX boards capable of running an AC motor? Or do I need to replace the motor with a DC motor? Vertical Express suggested installing an HD85 operator instead. I suppose I am wondering if I should just re-install the old operator, return the HD/LM operator and purchase the HD85 instead. This is the price I pay for not verifying the proper job number on the survey.
Are the PY boards available from Vertical express? I was under the impression this was because they were back ordered or something. You should be able to make this work with a PY4 board and a 1/6 HP DC motor and encoder. The part number for the motor with the correct encoder is 9841775. You also need the capacitor that goes under the door board.
