CAUTION
Any change to spring tension setting requires a
new learning cycle!
• Single door: Para. 31.9
• Double door: Para. 32.2
TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
System checks spring tension during door
installation partial learning cycle:
• Single door: Para. 29.2
• Double door: Para. 31.9
Learning cycle will be canceled if spring is
insufficiently tensioned; door will stop and
display will show a rotating "0" and an "F".
29.4.5 Check door closing force.
1. Para. 29.4.1 lists approximate spring tension settings.
2. Once complete learning cycle performed, use
pressure gauge to check door closing force at 2° and
adjust tension setting if necessary.
