r-tec PULL1000

Overview

We positioned PULL1000 as the entry point of the r-tec garage door motor family, built for the everyday duty of residential and apartment shared garages. It is a standard shaft-type model rated for a 1,000 N pulling force class — roughly the equivalent of a 100 kg door pulling load. On spring-balanced sectional and tilting doors the torsion spring carries most of the door’s weight, so the motor’s only job is to complete the open-close movement.

1,000 N pulling force — what does it mean?

1,000 N ≈ 100 kg force equivalent. This is not the full weight of the door, but the additional load that remains after the spring balance is completed. In practice:

• 200-300 kg spring-balanced sectional garage door — spring carries 200-250 kg, motor pulls 50-100 kg additional load.
• 100-150 kg tilting door — spring 80-130 kg, motor 20-30 kg additional.

If the spring balance is not perfect (worn spring or wrong calibration), the load the motor needs to pull exceeds 1,000 N and the thermal protection trips.

LCD menu + site programming

On PULL1000, programming is done via the LCD screen + 4 buttons:

• Opening limit setting — Recorded with the door in the fully open position.
• Closing limit setting — Recorded with the door in the fully closed position.
• Speed setting — Opening + closing speed independent (closing usually at 70% ratio).
• Automatic closing time — Adjustable between 1 and 60 seconds.
• LED torch time — The time the light stays on after the door is opened (usually 2-5 min).
• Remote learning/erasing — New remote pairing or erasing the entire memory.

Target projects

• Residential individual garage door
• Apartment shared garage entrance
• Villa garage door (spring-balanced sectional)
• Estate internal pedestrian + vehicle combined garage
• Estate basement car park entrance gate (in limited situations — if size/load is suitable)

Field discipline

• The display menu settings and power-off procedure are summarised in the PDF second section. Reading before installation is mandatory.
• Spring balance check — Before motor installation, the door is brought to the 50% open position by hand; when released, it should stay there. If it falls or rises, the spring adjustment is impaired, the motor should not be installed.
• Chain vs belt selection — Chain is more durable + longer life, but noisier. Belt is silent but requires replacement in 8-10 years. In residential applications belt is recommended (noise critical).
• Drive connection — A special connection plate is used on the upper panel of the door; not screwed directly to the panel.
• Emergency release test — Cord pulling + manual opening trial must be done at site handover.

Model notes

The menu settings and power-off procedure your field team will need are covered in the second section of the technical PDF. In a garage with impaired spring balance, PULL1000 will keep tripping its thermal protection — which is why a balance check before installation is mandatory. Large garage doors (300+ kg, industrial size) fall outside this model’s class; on those sites an industrial motor + I-380 three-phase combination should be used instead.
