STEP 16 - SETTING OPEN AND CLOSE
SAFETY OBSTRUCTION FORCE
The safety obstruction force is calculated automatically and set
in the memory of the SecuraLift
®
. This applies to both the Open
and Close Force..
WARNING:
When step 16.1 is initiated the garage door will
do a full open and close cycle automatically. Please keep door
way clear to avoid any personal injury or damage to property.
16.1 TO INITIALISE OBSTRUCTION FORCE
1.
Press and hold the close button
(Fig. 20)
, to move the door
to the fully closed position. Check that the red LED is
illuminated to confirm that the door has reached the closed limit
position
2.
Press the Reset button
(Fig. 20)
for two seconds, the door
should start opening. As soon as the door reach’s the fully open
position it will pause momentarily then start to close.
The door has to do a full open and close cycle with no
interruptions for the safety obstruction parameters to be
calculated and set automatically. A default safety force
pressure margin is preset in the factory. Under normal
operating conditions this default margin should not be changed.
If you are not satisfied with the pressure settings you can adjust
as per below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Whenever the Limit Adjustment
Screws are adjusted the safety obstruction force has to be
re-initialised because the door travel distance may have
changed. To re-initialise please follow STEP 16.1 above.
Note:
The remote control function is enabled when this safety
step is completed properly.
16.2 TO INCREASE FORCE PRESSURE
1.
Press and hold the Force Margin Set button
(Fig. 20)
.
2.
While holding Force Margin Set press the green Open
button. The green LED will illuminate each time the green open
button is pressed to indicate that the force pressure is being
increased. If the green LED flashes continuously when the open
button is pressed this indicates that the maximum force pressure
setting has been reached.
16.3 TO DECREASE FORCE PRESSURE
1.
Press and hold the Force Margin Set button
(Fig. 20)
.
2.
While holding Force Margin Set press the red Close
button. The red LED will illuminate each time the red Close
button is pressed to indicate that the force pressure is being
reduced. If the red LED flashes continuously when the red close
button is pressed this indicates that the minimum force pressure
setting has been reached.

1.
While holding Force Margin Set press the RESET button for
two seconds.
2.
Release both buttons. The default setting should now be
recalled.
16.4 SAFETY OBSTRUCTION TEST
TESTING CLOSE CYCLE
1.
Open the door by pressing the Yellow O/S/C button
(Fig. 20)
.
2.
Place a length of timber 40mm high on the floor directly under
the door
(Fig. 21)

2.
Press again to open the door. When the door opens half way
grab the bottom rail of the door firmly, the door should stop.
If the door does not reverse readily when closing, or stop when
opening, the force may be excessive and need adjusting.

re-open when obstructed discontinue use. Do not use a door with
faulty obstruction sensing. Repair fault and re-test before using.
