Force Control
The force controls are automatically set when the
wall control is used for the first time with garage
door opener. The door MUST complete one full
cycle, from full open to full close and then, full close to full
open, before the settings are automatically recorded.
Contact Reverse Test
NOTE:
The limit and Force settings MUST BE
COMPLETED before performing the Contact
Reverse Test.
Force Control Adjustments
Force settings are programmed from the factory to
remain within safe parameters. These should not
require adjustments. However, certain circumstances
may require adjustment. See section 4 Maintenance
and Adjustments for detailed instructions pertaining
to the adjustment of force controls.
WARNING
!
TO AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE
•
NEVER
adjust the force settings to adjust for damage,
including an unbalanced door, binding door track or
broken spring.
•
Perform a CONTACT REVERSE TEST monthly.
AVERTISSEMENT
!
Pour éviter les blessures ou des dommages
•
NE JAMAIS
régler la force pour compenser des dommages,
y compris une porte mal équilibrée, un rail de porte coinçant
ou des ressorts cassés.
•
Tous les mois, EFFECTUEZ LE TEST D’INVERSION AU CONTACT.
1. Press and release the wall control button and
allow the garage door to travel and stop at the
DOWN limit.
2. Press and release the wall control button and
allow the garage door to travel and stop at the
UP limit.
1. With the garage door open, lay a 2 X 4 board
flat on the floor at the center of the door
opening.
2. Close the garage door using the wall control.
•
When the door contacts the board, it should
stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds.
Door will move to the full open position.
•
The long LED light on the powerhead will begin
to flash RED with the reversal of the door.
•
Remove the 2” x 4” board and operate the
opener with the wall control again. This cycle
will clear the flashing red LEDs.
Contact Reverse Adjustment
If the door stops before contacting the board or if it
does not reverse direction to fully open after contact
with the board, it may be due to an improperly set
DOWN limit. Verify settings by:
1. Repeat the “Down Travel Limit” section to make
certain the door is closing tight against the floor.
2. Repeat the “Force Control” section on the left to
set force limits.
3. Repeat the “Contact Reverse Test” above.
Repeat this process as needed until the door passes
the Contact Reverse Test. For further help, refer to
the “Maintenance and Adjustment” section/Regular
Maintenance.
