Sommer 2080 evo+ — 1 HP Garage Door Opener, 15 ft Rail
Description
This kit pairs the 1 HP evo+ tier with two 43 in. rail extensions, for a tall door up to 1,100 lb. The longer rail adds door height, and the weight rating does not change.
The 15 ft figure is the door height, and it depends on the track. On 32 in. radius track the kit reaches 14 ft. Door height decides the rail, and back room decides whether the opener fits.
Shipping and Delivery
Delivery: Free by parcel within the 48 contiguous states. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.
Cartons: The opener and the two extensions can arrive in separate cartons. Check each one on arrival.
California: This kit has no battery backup, so it cannot ship to a California address.
Key Features
Drive: 800 N, about 1 HP equivalent. The motor carriage travels along a fixed, spring-tensioned chain, with one moving part.
Door travel: Soft start and stop on a variable curve, with force and speed settings that adjust over time as the door and conditions change.
Door weight: 1,100 lb on a counter-balanced standard-radius sectional door, 990 lb on low headroom, and 825 lb on a poorly balanced door.
Door height: 15 ft on low headroom, 10 in., or 12 in. radius track, down to 14 ft on 32 in. radius. Over 8 ft, drum and spring size also affect the limit.
Back room: From the door header to the first obstruction, allow door height plus 37 in. on 3 in. low headroom track, rising to plus 49 in. on 32 in. radius track.
Ceiling gap: At least 1-3/8 in. from the door's highest point to the ceiling, and 3/16 in. to the rail.
Control: A ceiling control unit at the end of the rail, with a wired 3-button wall station.
Braking and release: Active motor braking during travel, and the opener pushes in the closed direction during an attempted break-in. The emergency release disengages and re-engages in any position.
Radio: 922.5 MHz SOMloq2 with 128-bit AES rolling code, and 40 transmitter commands, or 450 with a Memo where the carriage board supports it.
HomeLink: A 310 MHz module pairs with compatible in-car buttons. Car2U systems are not compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an Accu version of this kit?
No. There's no 15 ft kit with the Accu.

Yes. Doors under 400 lb take one ceiling bracket for every three rail sections, and doors over 400 lb one for every two. Perforated angle for the ceiling bracket is sold separately.

Plain answers
Will this kit reach my 14 ft door?
Yes, on every track type. It reaches 15 ft on 12 in. or 15 in. low-headroom track and on 10 in. or 12 in. radius track, 14 ft 9 in. on 15 in. radius, 14 ft 6 in. on 20 in. radius and 14 ft on 32 in. radius. Over 8 ft, drum and spring size also affect the limit, so send us the door details before you order.
Is this the right tier for a double door?
It is if the door weighs 1,100 lb or less on standard-radius track, since the operator is rated by door weight. That limit falls to 990 lb on a low-headroom door and 825 lb on a poorly balanced one, so weigh the door or look up its weight first.
How much back room does a tall door need?
Allow door height plus 37 in. to plus 49 in., depending on the track, from the door header to the first obstruction. A 12 ft door on 15 in. radius track, for example, needs 15 ft 7 in. of back room.
How much use can it take on a tall door?
Rated duty is 25 cycles an hour on a 12 ft door and 22 on a 14 ft door at factory speed. At maximum speed, set with the SOMlink tool, those figures rise to 35 and 31.
Can I install this myself?
Only a qualified specialist may install the opener, and only on a properly operating, balanced door. Have a technician repair any cables, springs or other door hardware first. We answer fitting questions from planning to power-on through SmartBay support.
What comes with it besides the operator and rail?
The kit includes a 3-button wired wall control, one Pearl 4-button transmitter and two-wire safety sensors. The 2080 evo+ also comes with a 310 MHz HomeLink module, so a compatible in-car button can open the door.
