STEP 12

                     

TEST DOWN FORCE REVERSAL

Place

 a 1 1/2”(38) high object (or a 2X4 laid flat) on the floor, in

line with the door opener. When the closing door contacts the 
object, it should stop, reverse, and automatically return to the 
open position. If the door does not reverse, reset the down travel 
limit so that the door travels slightly further down in the closed 
direction. Then, retest the unit as described above. See Figure 32

NOTE: Rail assembly may require center support to ceiling. 

WARNING!

  If the door does not reverse, disconnect your 

opener and call a trained Martin Door Dealer.

                TEST DOWN CYCLE PHOTO EYES REVERSAL 
Photo eyes 

 must be clean and properly aligned. Loosen wing nuts

to rotate photo eyes vertically or horizontally for correct alignment. 
See Figure 33. 

The

 green light on the transmitter photo eye and the red light on the 

receiver photo eye must illuminate or the door will not close. 
See Figure 34 

Start

 the door in the downward direction. Interrupt the invisible beam by waving a 

solid object between the photo eyes.   The Door Must Reverse! See Figure 35 

Faulty

 photo eyes can be bypassed with constant pressure on a wall control/push 

button or transmitter button. 

NOTE: To test the Up Force, place an object to stop the door in its upward direction.  

The opener should stop when the door contacts the object. 

The Martin 

Opener

 also has a third reversal protection system, which automatically 

opens the door in 30 seconds if Opener Reversal System fails or if the door 
is unable to completely close in 30 seconds time.
