Automatic Door Openers

All Wessex garage doors are ready for the installation of a Wessex electric opener thereby providing the major benefits of convenience, security and effortless operation.

Wessex canopy (canopy) doors up to 2438mm wide x 2134mm high (8'0" x 7'0") can be fitted with the DC700 but will require a canopy converter arm to modify the movement to allow automation. (Canopy gear is not designed to be automated so the use of a canopy arm will reduce the drive through Height by approx. 150mm and the operation is not as smooth as a retractable door)

Wessex retractable (retractable) doors and Vienna sectional doors can be fitted with one of our "state of the art" DC operators. The DC-700 super quiet chain or belt drive operator is suitable for most door sizes, alternatively the more powerful DC-850 is available for our larger doors.

Both incorporate the latest microchip technology, LED status and diagnostics, very simple 3-step set-up procedure plus a comprehensive list of safety and security features. Traditional chain drive or the "whisper quiet" Kevlar belt drive options are available which is particularly suited to integral garages.

To complement the standard electric opener packages Wessex also offer a dedicated range of options and accessories to add extra convenience and extra security to satisfy your individual requirements. Once you have installed an opener you'll never want to be without one.

DC-700

Smooth DC motor featuring 'soft start-soft stop' for improved safety and quieter closing. Also features Smart Entry System automated force setting. Patented Reference Point Technology means the opener always knows the precise position of the door and constantly measures and monitors forces for ultimate safety and sensitivity. The operator not only monitors itself, the Doorsafe monitoring feature constantly measures the door's performance and activates the safety systems should the door begin to operate outside the force safety envelope. Energy saving circuitry reduces running costs. Anti-thief backdrive feature gives further protection against unauthorised entry. The DC-700 operator is suitable for Wessex 3 and 4 Crown doors and Vienna sectional doors up to 4267mm wide x 2286mm high (14'0" x 7'6") or 3658mm wide x 2438mm high (12'0" x 8'0") and 5 Crown doors up to 3048mm wide x 2134mm high (10'0" x 7'0").

DC-850

The DC-850 shares all the features of the DC-700 but has a more powerful motor. It also allows an intermediate close position to be programmed and an adjustable interval for the courtesy light. This operator is suitable for all retractable doors but is recommended for Wessex 3 and 4 Crown doors and Vienna sectional doors over 4267mm wide x 2134mm high (14'0" x 7'0") or 3658mm wide x 2438mm high (12'0" x 8'0") and all 5 Crown doors.
