Setting the Force
The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door,
should not exceed 400N (40kgf). If the closing force is
measured to more than 400N, the Protector System must
be installed. See section 14.
The force setting regulates the amount of power required
to open and close the door.
• Press the PURPLE button (1) twice to enter opener into
Force Adjustment Mode. The indicator light (2) will flash
quickly.
• Press the green start button (4) on the bottom of the
opener. The door will travel to the DOWN limit. Press the
green start button (4) again, the door will travel to the
UP limit. Press the green start button (4) again to
complete the travel cycle. The indicator light (2) 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
opener cannot open and close your door fully, inspect
your door to insure that it is balanced properly and is not
sticking or binding.

Testing the Safety Reverse System
The safety reverse system test is important. The
garage door must reverse on contact with a 40mm
obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly
adjust the opener may result in serious personal
injury from a closing 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 limit and force setting, sections 11
& 12, pages 6 & 7. Repeat test.

Install the Protector System™
(Safety Beams)
Install this accessory for all installations where the
closing force as measured on the bottom of the
door is over 400N (40kgf).
After opener has been installed and adjusted, The
Protector System™ accessory can be installed.
Instructions are included with this accessory.
The Protector System™ provides an additional
measure of safety against a small child being
caught under a garage door. It uses an infra-red
beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a
closing door to open and prevents an open door from
closing and is
strongly recommended for homeowners
with young children.
Note: The opener will automatically detect the
protector system when it is installed and operating for
5 minutes (during this time the beams must remain
unobstructed). The opener will not close unless the
sensors are aligned.
