11.  Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment 

 

Dual Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment modes ensure that the 

RDO 

can be optimised to suit virtually any garage 

door   

 

Adaptive Mode 

– constantly monitors incremental drive force value changes that occur due to seasonal conditions 

and / or garage door aging. Adaptive Mode compensates for these variables by automatically adjusting Safety 

Obstruction Force values during every complete cycle, resulting in enhanced safety and minimised chances of 

garage door ghosting

Manual Mode 

– features conventional one time Safety Obstruction Force value 

adjustment and is more suited for use on badly-worn or improperly-balanced garage 

doors. (Refer Section 11.2. for setup details) 

 

11.1.

 

  Adaptive (A) Mode 

Enabling 

 

If Adaptive Mode is already enabled then skip to the next section titled “Functionality” 

 

To enable Adaptive Mode carry out the following procedure; 

 

Switch off power at power supply 

 

Remove the Courtesy Lamp and Control Box Covers to expose the Control Board   

 

Select Dipswitch No.1 to the “ON” position 

 

Replace the Control Box and Lamp Covers 

 

Switch power on at power supply

Functionality 

 

In order to learn the required run time and drive force values, the 

RDO II 

will be required to complete five 

(manually activated) uninterrupted open and close cycles (commencing from the Close Limit Point) 

 

During the course of the cycles, the LIGHT will quick flash once every two    seconds and the operating parameters 

will be learned in the following order; 

 

Open Stroke 1 – Alignment stroke 

 

Close Stroke 1 – Learn run time between Open Limit Point and Close Limit Point   

(during Close Cycle 1 the 

RDO II 

will not Slow Stop) 

 

Open Stroke 2 – Learn run time between Close Limit Point and Open Limit Point   

(during Open Cycle 1 the 

RDO II 

will not Slow Stop) 

 

Close Stroke 2 – Learn Drive Force Values between Open Limit Point and Close Limit Point 

 

Open Stroke 3 – Learn Drive Force Values between Close Limit Point and Open Limit Point 

 

Once Learning has been successfully completed, the LED Indicator will commence to slow flash 

 

Important note: During initial power-up learning, the Safety Obstruction Force values of the RDO II default to 

a maximum setting. Encountering a solid obstruction during the course of the initial learning cycles may result 

in garage door damage. It is recommended that initial learning cycles be carefully supervised in order to prevent 

the possibility of the garage door hitting an obstruction causing personal and/or property damage.   

 

Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment 

 

Open the Courtesy Lamp Cover to expose the adjustment controls 

 

Rotate the (green) “Offset” Adjustment Pin in a clockwise direction to increase Safety Obstruction Offset Value 

and in an anti-clockwise direction to decrease the value 

 

The Safety Obstruction Offset Value may be adjusted within a range of 30N (3kg) to 100N (10kg) 

 

The selected value remains identical for both open and close direction travel 

 

Refer to 

‘Testing Safety Obstruction Force’ 

for testing

 

 

1. Ghosting is defined as a Safety Stop or Safety Reverse without the garage door actually encountering an obstruction.
