FORCE ADJUSTMENT
The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door,
should not exceed 400N (40kg). If the closing force is
measured to more than 400N, a Safety Infrared Reversing
Sensor must be installed See “Install the Safety Infrared
Reversing Sensor” on page 11.
The force setting regulates the amount of power required to
open and close the door.
1. Locate the orange button (2).
2. Push the orange button (2) twice to enter unit into Force
Adjustment Mode. The LED (3) (indicator light) will flash
quickly.
3. Push the programmed remote control (4) or push bar on the
door control that was shipped with your opener. The door will
travel to the DOWN (close) position. Push the remote control
(4) again, the door will travel to the UP (open) position.
The LED (3) (indicator light) will stop flashing when the force has
been learned.
The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and DOWN, in
order for the force to be set properly. If the unit cannot open and
close your door fully, inspect your door to ensure that it is
balanced properly and is not sticking or binding.

TEST THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM
The safety reverse system test is important. Garage
door must reverse on contact with a 40mm
obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly
adjust opener may result in serious personal injury from a
closing garage door. Repeat test once a month and adjust
as needed.
Procedure:
Place a 40mm obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor
under the garage door. Operate the door in the
down
direction.
The door must reverse on the obstruction. If the door
stops
on
the obstruction, remove obstruction and repeat
Setting the
Limits on page 8.
Repeat test.
When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the
obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
Door
must not
reverse in closed position. If it does, repeat
Setting the Limits and Force on page 7 and 8
and repeat safety
reverse test.
Place 20kg at the centre of the door and ensure that the door
will not move up more than 500mm.
