SETTING THE LIMITS FOR RIGHT OR LEFT OPERATION
13
The travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving UP or DOWN.
The procedure for setting these limits differs depending on which side of the garage door the opener has been
fitted. eg As viewed from inside the garage looking out, is the opener on the right-hand or left-hand side.
The opener must be fully installed on the door and all installation steps completed before proceeding.
NOTE: Remove the limit switch cover screw and open panel (fig1) to
expose the limit actuator arms panel from the right front face of the
opener. Remove the green control panel cover from the left front face of
the opener (see fig1 section 11)
SETTING DOOR TRAVEL LIMITS FOR RIGHT HAND-MOUNTING
Step 1:Inspect the option switches on the control panel. Both switches marked roller should be moved to “R”
position.
Step 2: Set the bottom limit of travel
Connect the mains power to the opener and switch the
power on. Pull the manual release to disengage the
door from the opener. Lower the door manually to the
fully closed position. Observe the red LED marked
close on the control panel. Rotate the front limit-
actuator-arm
anti-clockwise
until
it
contacts
its
microswitch and the red LED stays on continuously.
Step 3: Set the upper limit of travel
Raise the door manually to the fully open position.
Observe the amber LED marked open on the control
panel. Rotate the rear limit-actuator-arm clockwise until
it contacts its microswitch and the amber LED stays on
continuously.
Step 4: Fine adjustment
Although the limits are essentially set in the correct
position, the door travel can be further adjusted using
the fine adjustment screws. Each turn of the screw
results in around 5mm of door travel.
Confirm the limits are set correctly by engaging the
manual release (see section 8), then closing and
opening the door using the green operate button.
Repeat the above steps if required.
The force must now be set in order to complete your installation, see section 14.
SETTING DOOR TRAVEL LIMITS FOR LEFT-HAND MOUNTING
Step 1: Inspect the option switches on the control panel. Both switches marked roller should be moved to “L”.
Step 2 : Set the bottom limit of travel
Connect the mains power to the opener and switch the power on. Pull the manual release to disengage the
door from the opener. Lower the door manually to the fully closed position. Observe the red LED marked close
on the control panel. Rotate the front limit-actuator-arm clockwise until it contacts its microswitch and the red
LED stays on continuously.
Step 3: Set the upper limit of travel
Raise the door manually to the fully open position. Observe the amber LED marked open on the control panel.
Rotate the rear limit-actuator-arm anti-clockwise until it contacts its microswitch and the amber LED stays on
continuously.
Step 4: Fine adjustment
The limits are essentially set in the correct position. However the door travel can be further adjusted using the
fine adjustment screw. Each turn of the screw results in around 5mm of door travel.
Confirm the limits are set correctly by engaging the manual release (see section 8). Close and open the door
using the green operate button. Repeat the above steps if required.
The force must now be set in order to complete your installation, see section 14.
Make sure the door is clear of obstruction. Ensure your hands are away
from any moving parts before activating the door.
