🚪 Suitable for Roller Shutters up to 36m²
The 1HP Low Cycle eDrive 2.0 is rated for spring-balanced roller shutters up to 36m².
Grifco bases this maximum rating on a standard correctly spring-balanced shutter using appropriate curtain construction, drum size and gearing.
For doors up to 36m², Grifco’s reference installation assumes a 150mm diameter drum and a sprocket ratio of at least 4:1. Wind-locked shutters and other non-standard configurations may require different operator selection.
⚙️ Purpose-Designed Industrial Gearbox
The eDrive 2.0 combines its industrial electric motor with a heavy-duty gearbox specifically designed for roller shutter automation.
The operator uses a 31.75mm output shaft, allowing the drive to be connected to the roller shutter through the appropriate sprocket, chain and transmission hardware.
This provides a robust mechanical drive system capable of transferring the motor torque required to operate larger commercial shutters.
🧠 Integrated Electronic Logic
One of the key differences between the eDrive platform and more traditional industrial operators is its integrated electronic control system.
Rather than relying solely on a conventional external reversing starter arrangement, the eDrive incorporates intelligent logic designed specifically for commercial door automation.
This provides a flexible platform for integrating:
- Open / Stop / Close controls
- Remote controls
- Safety beams
- Safety edges
- Access control systems
- Automatic closing
- External activation devices
- Building management interfaces
- Additional safety equipment
The exact functionality available depends on the selected controller configuration and accessories.
🎛️ C10A Wall Controller
The eDrive 2.0 can be paired with Grifco’s C10A series wall controller, providing a dedicated user interface for operation and programming of the industrial door system.
Grifco’s packaged eDrive 2.0 operator kits commonly incorporate the C10A-4 Wall Controller alongside the operator and associated mounting equipment.
This provides convenient local control while allowing additional automation and safety accessories to be integrated into the system.
🛡️ Safety System Integration
Industrial roller shutters require safety equipment appropriate to the installation and method of operation.
The eDrive 2.0 platform can be configured with compatible Grifco safety equipment including monitored safety beams and other entrapment-protection systems.
Grifco specifically offers eDrive 2.0 packages incorporating GPS15 monitored safety beams for installations requiring additional non-contact obstruction protection.
👁️ Monitored Safety Beam Compatible
Compatible monitored safety beams can be installed across the roller shutter opening to detect vehicles, people or other obstructions.
When the beam is interrupted, the control system can respond according to the programmed safety configuration.
Safety beams are particularly important where:
- Remote controls are used
- Automatic closing is enabled
- The shutter operates without constant visual supervision
- Vehicles regularly pass through the opening
- Additional entrapment protection is required
📡 Remote Control Compatible
The eDrive 2.0 can be configured for wireless remote-control operation using compatible Grifco transmitters and receiver equipment.
Grifco’s 1HP eDrive 2.0 remote-control operator kits have been supplied with monitored safety beams and two E960G 4-channel wireless keyring transmitters.
This allows the industrial shutter to be operated conveniently from vehicles or other suitable locations while maintaining the required safety configuration.
🔄 Low Cycle Configuration
This 1HP eDrive 2.0 is available in a Low Cycle configuration intended for commercial and industrial doors with moderate operating frequency.
The Low Cycle 1HP models provide the higher 36m² maximum shutter area.
For applications requiring significantly more frequent operation, Grifco also produces 1HP High Cycle eDrive configurations. These are rated differently, with the 1HP High Cycle models specified for doors up to 30m².
Selecting the correct duty rating is important for operator longevity and reliability.

Grifco specifies that an L or R designation is added to the operator part number when ordering.
The required handing should therefore be confirmed before ordering.
🌦️ IP44 Standard Protection
The standard eDrive 2.0 1HP operator carries an IP44 enclosure rating.
This provides protection against solid objects greater than 1mm and splashing water from multiple directions.
For installations requiring greater environmental protection, IP55 versions are available as an optional configuration on applicable models.
The standard IP44 version should not be considered completely waterproof.
🔧 Optional Clutch Configuration
A clutch configuration is available as an optional upgrade on applicable eDrive 2.0 models.

This provides additional flexibility for specialised commercial and industrial building applications.
🔩 Chain & Sprocket Drive
The eDrive 2.0 transfers power to the roller shutter through an appropriate sprocket and chain arrangement.
Grifco specifies a minimum sprocket ratio of 4:1 when determining its standard roller shutter application ratings.
Correct drive gearing is essential to achieving the required torque, operating speed and service life.
⚖️ Designed for Spring-Balanced Shutters
The eDrive 2.0 is designed for correctly spring-balanced roller shutters.
The spring system counterbalances a substantial portion of the shutter’s weight so the operator does not have to lift the complete dead weight of the curtain.
Before installation, the shutter should:
- Operate freely by hand
- Be correctly spring balanced
- Travel smoothly within its guides
- Have a suitable barrel and drive arrangement
- Have structurally sound mounting points
- Remain within the operator’s rated capacity
A powered operator should not be used to compensate for a poorly balanced or mechanically defective roller shutter.
