Control Panel; Set The Adjustments - Genie M-4500 Owner's Manual

8-17. CONTROL PANEL

The control panel is located under the control panel cover.
Open the control panel by slightly pulling on the cover
cutout, then allowing the cover to drop open. The hinges
enable the cover to remain in place while you set
the adjustments.
On control panel you will find 3 buttons labeled "P", "+",
and "–" which allows you to set all the adjustments of your
opener and a circular LED display with 8 numbered icons
which shows useful status information regarding the opener
and its function. See Fig. 38, 38A.
LEDs #1, #3, and #5 are used when setting the adjustments
or for troubleshooting, should a problem ever occur with
your opener. See section "8-18. Setting The Adjustments" on
p. 18, and section 18. Troubleshooting" on p. 29 for more
information.
NOTE: When viewing control panel and setting the adjust-
ments, stand below the opener and face the garage door.
Then look up at the display. This way you will easily be able
to see both the display and the door.

8-18. SET THE ADJUSTMENTS

Any adjustment can be made at any time using these 3
buttons: "+", "–", and "P". However, it is easiest during
initial installation to follow the order shown below. Before
beginning, install battery in your transmitter.
See Fig. 47, p. 22.
The adjustments that can be made are: Open Travel Limit,
Close Travel Limit, Maximum Opening Force, Maximum
Closing Force, and Transmitter Programming.
HANDY NOTE: If you follow the following steps, you will
notice that when making the adjustments, and if no changes
are needed at any particular stage, you can keep the current
information and "skip" over a specific adjustment by
pressing the "P" button once. This is useful to know if you
want to change only one setting, without changing any of
the other adjustments. Simply enter the adjustment mode
by pressing and holding the "P" button for approximately
2 seconds, then press and release "P" repeatedly until your
particular adjustment is reached. This bypasses the unneeded
adjustments, and takes you right to the adjustment you
want. When your adjustment or setting is complete, simply
press "P" as many times as needed to bypass the remaining
steps and exit out of the program, returning the opener to
normal mode.
TO MAKE OR CHANGE ANY ADJUSTMENT:
Press and hold the "P" button for approximately 2 seconds.
When all LEDs illuminate and LED #2 begins to blink, release
the button. You are now ready to set or change the desired
adjustment.
