June, 2010 -- Linear LLC introduces the LDCO800, the newest garage door operator to join the company's comprehensive operator line up. The feature-rich unit sets itself apart in the market by incorporating energy efficiency, high performance, easy set up, and compatibility with Linear's existing rails and accessories.

The DC-powered LDCO800 operator is eco-friendly. Lower standby power, higher efficiency and lighter weight comes from using a switching power supply for DC operation that is far superior to traditional, transformer-based designs. Yet the 800 Newton-rated unit runs at the same speed and provides as much lifting power as Linear's AC operators.

"The addition of this eco-friendly operator gives our business partners and installers a new, 'green' choice, now in such demand by homeowners," says Larry Foisie, vice president of Linear Entry Systems.

Installers will appreciate the convenience of quick and easy installation and simple-to-set electronic limits. The new operator's intelligent force settings adjust automatically during normal year-to-year operations. Dealers will value a completely new product that is compatible with Linear's existing rails and accessories. Homeowners will appreciate its energy-efficiency, quiet operation, as well as long-term reliability.

The new LDCO800 operator is compatible with 7-foot, 8-foot and 10-foot chain as well as 7-foot and 8-foot belt drive rails, and can be easily converted to I-beam rails using Linear's bolt-on carriage house rail conversion kit. It features a 100-watt courtesy light, deluxe wall station, and a three-channel MegaCode visor transmitter.

The LDCO800 comes with lifetime motor and belt, five-year mechanical parts, and one-year electrical warranties.
