Setting the Force

The Force is programmed to operate most doors, however, if Limits are

not able to be set, or the door reverses during normal operation follow

this procedure: Locate the Program Button (1) on the left side panel of

unit (2). Push the Program Button twice to enter unit into Auto-Force

Adjustment Mode. The green LED will flash slowly. Activate unit with

remote and run the unit to the Open Limit. Activate unit again to run the

unit to the Closed Limit. The door must travel through a complete cycle

up and down in order for the Force to be set properly. If the unit stops

before it reaches the Open or Close Limit repeat the process. The

green LED will stop flashing when the Force has been learnt.

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, it is

not travelling far enough in the 

down 

direction. Move Close Limit closer

to door.

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, adjust Limit and repeat

safety reverse test.
Place 20kg at the center of the door and ensure that the door will not

move up more than 500mm.

Open Limit Switch. Insert wires for Limit Switch (9) into top channel of

Rail (10). Secure wires with wire clip. the wires must be secured so

they do not interfere with the travel of the Trolley. Activate remote, the

opener will operate and reconnect to the door automatically. Run

opener 2 full travel cycles. If the door reverses in mid travel go to
