CAUTION!

STARTUP PROCEDURE

POWERING UP

Apply power to the unit (plug in electrcal cord). The Control Panel LED Screen should light up and run a self-

diagnostic. If LCD screen is not lit, refer to Trouble Shooting on Page 25. Once it has run through its self-diagnostic, 

the screen will read ‘Door is Ready - Press Open to Start’.  DO NOT TRY TO OPERATE THE DOOR AFTER INITIAL POWER UP 

- LIMITS MUST BE SET.

Once powered on, check Photo-Eye alignment - the yellow LED on top of the Photo-Eye should be lit if it is properly 

aligned with the reflector.  If it is not, adjust until in proper position and green LED is lit.  Once Photo-Eye is correctly 

aligned, move on to Menu Settings.  DO NOT OPERATE DOOR UNTIL LIMITS HAVE BEEN SET (see below instructions).

SETTING LIMITS

Limits should be set before any other menu option.  Limits can be set from the main control panel, or, if default factory 

settings are acceptable for your operator, can be easily set from the push button station.

Before setting limits, ensure that the Reflective Photo Eye Sensor is properly installed and aligned, and that the 

power is on.  The yellow LED on top of the Sensor should be lit.  If it is not, ensure that power is on and align Sensor 

accordingly.  If setting limits using push button station, see below instructions.  If setting limits using the operator panel, 

skip to STARTUP MENU and see DOOR LIMITS.

SETTING LIMITS USING PUSH BUTTON STATION

The LED light on the Photo-Eye provides communication for Limit Setting.  Ensure 

that light is on, and is solid yellow, then follow the instructions below (should the 

light be flashing, press the open button - the door will open slowly to rest against 

the limit bracket, and then the light should turn solid Yellow).

1.  Press the STOP button and hold firmly, while then pressing and holding the 

OPEN and CLOSE buttons for 5 seconds.  Once the system is ready to set limits 

and while holding all 3 buttons, the LED on the phot-eye will turn off.

2.  Release the buttons.  The LED should now begin to flash.  Press and release 

the OPEN button to reset the encoder - the light will turn off (unless already fully 

open, the door will rise slowly to touch the limit brackets).  Once the door has 

stopped, the LED will begin flashing, and you can now jog the door down to set 

the desired open limit positiion (note that OPEN and CLOSE buttons can be used to attain position - press and hold 

button to move door).  It is recommended that the open limit is at least 4" away from the limit brackets.  Press and 

release STOP to save the desired open limit.  Once saved the LED will blink as verification, and as a prompt for next 

step.

3.  Now set the close limit position.  The LED will turn off once you press and hold a button (OPEN or CLOSE) and will 

remain unlit until the close limit is saved.  Once the door is at the desired position, press and release STOP button to 

save close limit.  LED will turn on (steady) to verify save.

4.  Now cycle the door at least 2 times to calibrate the unit.  Note that the door will operate at the programmed 

speed (Default = Medium Speed), and the LED will remain solid yellow.  A 3rd cycle of the door should be done to 

confirm limit positions.  If limits not set properly, retry entire process from step 1.

Before applying power to the Pulse operator, ensure that the unit is firmly in positioned 

on the door shaft and securely fastened to the torque arm/bolt, that the torque arm is 

anchored to structural support, and that Limit brackets are in place.
