1000N Powerful Garage Door Motor
The MARANTEC COMFORT 280 delivers a maximum push and pull force of 1,000 N, making it the strongest model in the traditional Comfort 260 / 270 / 280 series. It is designed for larger and heavier garage doors where a lower-force opener may not provide sufficient capacity.
The motor is suitable for compatible garage doors weighing up to 200 kg. Correct motor selection should also consider door dimensions, balance, spring condition, track condition and expected daily operating frequency.
Garage Doors Up to 200 KG
The Comfort 280 is suitable for correctly balanced garage doors with a maximum specified weight of 200 kg. This makes it an excellent choice for large villa garage doors and heavier residential sectional door installations.
The garage door must move smoothly by hand and be correctly balanced before installing an automatic opener. The motor should not be used to compensate for damaged springs, misaligned tracks or excessive mechanical resistance.
Garage Doors Up to 6 Metres Wide
MARANTEC specifies the Comfort 280 for compatible garage doors with widths up to 6 metres. This includes selected sectional, overhead, up-and-over and canopy door configurations.
For tilt and canopy garage doors, MARANTEC specifies a maximum door height of approximately 2.25 metres.
24V DC Garage Door Motor
The MARANTEC COMFORT 280 uses a 24V DC motor supplied from a 230V mains-powered integrated control system. DC motor technology allows smooth and controlled garage door movement together with adjustable opening and closing speeds.
The system also supports soft start and soft stop, helping reduce mechanical stress on the garage door, drive rail and automation components.
16 cm/s Garage Door Opening Speed
The Comfort 280 provides a maximum running speed of approximately 16 cm per second. Opening and closing speeds can be configured separately to provide fast opening while maintaining controlled closing operation.
Actual garage door travel time depends on the door height, rail configuration, programmed speed and installation conditions.
Soft Start & Soft Stop
The soft start and soft stop function reduces abrupt movement when the garage door begins moving and when it reaches the end of travel.
This helps provide quieter, smoother operation and reduces mechanical stress on the door hardware, motor and drive system.
Integrated LC Display Programming
The MARANTEC COMFORT 280 incorporates an electronic control system with an illuminated LC display. The display provides convenient programming and status information directly at the garage door opener.
MARANTEC EOS programming allows operating parameters and connected accessories to be configured according to installation requirements.
Electronic Travel Limits
The Comfort 280 uses an electronic limit stop system to store and control the garage door's fully open and fully closed positions.
This eliminates the need for conventional mechanical limit switches and allows accurate travel positioning through the electronic control system.
Obstacle Detection Safety
The MARANTEC COMFORT 280 monitors motor current during garage door operation. If abnormal resistance is detected, the integrated control system can stop or reverse movement according to its programmed safety logic.
Correctly installed photocell sensors and other appropriate safety devices should also be used where required by the installation.
Integrated LED Garage Lighting
The Comfort 280 incorporates an 8 LED lighting module, providing convenient illumination around the garage entrance when the automatic door system is operated.
MARANTEC COMFORT 280 Connections
The integrated controller provides connections for several garage automation accessories and safety devices, including:
- Wall-mounted push button
- Photocell / light barrier
- Wicket door safety contact
- Optional battery backup
- MS-Bus expansion boards
- Compatible MARANTEC radio receiver
- Additional compatible expansion modules
