Program opener and test

23
The door opener should only be used if the operator can see
the entire door area and is assured that it is free of obstacles
and the door opener is set correctly. No one may pass through
the door while it is moving. Before the first opening operation, check
that all the facilities that are not needed are turned off. Remove all
mounting aids and tools from the pivot area of the door.

Setting the Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when
moving up or down. Follow the steps below to set the limits.
To program the travel limits:
1. Open the light lens. Press and hold the black button (1) until the
yellow indicator light (3) starts flashing slowly and then release.
2. Push and hold the black button (1) until the door reaches the
desired open position. Adjust the position of the door by using the
black (1) and orange (2) buttons. Black moves the door UP, orange
moves the door DOWN.
3. Push the programmed remote control (4) or push bar on the door
control that was shipped with your opener. This sets the full UP
(open) position. The door will travel to the floor and reverse back to
the UP (open) position. The opener has learned its travel limits.
Check to be sure the door is high enough for your vehicle.
Adjust if necessary.
4. The indicator light (3) will stop flashing when the limits have been
learned.
If the door stops or reverses before it reaches the floor repeat steps 1-
3 immediately. If this does not set the limits, follow the instructions for
Setting the limits manually.
1. Press and hold the black button until the yellow indicator light starts<
flashing slowly then release.
2. Push and hold the black button until the door reaches the desired
UP (open) position. Adjust the position of the door by using the
black and orange buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and
orange moves the door DOWN (close).
Check to be sure the door opens high enough for your vehicle.
3. Push the remote control or door control. This sets the UP (open)
limit and begins closing the door. Immediately press either the
orange or the black button. The door will stop.
Adjust the desired DOWN (close) limit position using the black and
orange buttons. Check to be sure the door is fully closed without
applying excessive pressure on the rail (rail should not bow
upwards and the chain/belt should not sag or droop below the rail).
Push the remote control or door control. This sets the DOWN
(close) limit and begins opening the door.
NOTE: If neither the black or the orange button is pressed before the
door reaches the floor, the operator will attempt an Automated Limit
Setting, reversing the door off the floor and stopping at the set Up
limit. If the worklight does not blink 10 times, limits setting has been
successful and doesn't need to be manually done; the DOWN limit will
be set to the floor. Regardless of setting the limits automatically or
manually, the force MUST be learned in order to properly
complete the setting of limits. Refer to section 26, Setting the Force.
4. Open and close the door with the remote control or door control 2
or 3 times.
• If the door does not stop in the desired UP (open) position or
reverses before the door stops at the DOWN (close) position,
repeat Setting the limits manually one more time.
• If the door stops in both the desired UP (open) and DOWN (close)
positions, proceed to Test the Safety Reversal System.

Setting the Force

25
The force setting button is located behind the light lens of the
opener. The force setting regulates the amount of power required
to open and close the door.
1. Open the light lens. Locate the orange button (2).
2. Push the orange button (2) twice to enter unit into Force Adjustment
Mode. The LED (3) (indicator light) will flash quickly.
3. Push the programmed remote control (4) or push bar on the door
control that was shipped with your opener. The door will travel to
the DOWN (close) position. Push the remote control (4) again, the
door will travel to the UP (open) position.
The LED (3) (indicator light) will stop flashing when the force has been
learned. The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and
DOWN, in order for the force to be set properly. If the unit cannot open
and close your door fully, inspect your door to insure that it is balanced
properly and is not sticking or binding. The force MUST be learned in
order to properly complete the setting of the limits.

Test the Safety Reverse System

The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door
must reverse on contact with a 50 mm obstacle laid flat
on the floor. Failure to properly adjust opener may result
in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test
once a month and adjust as needed.
OBSTACLE TEST:
Place a 50 mm high obstacle (1) under the garage door on the floor.
Move door downwards. The door must reverse when it comes into
contact with the obstacle. If upon contact the door stops, the door
does not move down far enough. In this case repeat limit setting .
If the door reverses after contact with the 50 mm high obstacle,
remove obstacles and open and close the door completely once.
The door should not go back, if it reaches the door position „Closed".
If it still reverses both limits must be reprogrammed.
OPENING TEST: Apply 20 kg to the middle of the door.
The door should not open.
Program your opener and remote / the
27
Wireless push button (optional) and the
Keyless entry (optional)
Activate the opener only when door is in full view, free of
obstruction and properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave
garage while door is in motion. Do not allow children to operate
push button(s) or remote(s). Do not allow children to play near
the door.
Your garage door opener receiver and remote control transmitter are
set to a matching code. If you purchase additional remote controls, the
garage door opener must be programmed to accept the new remote
code.
Program the Receiver to Match Additional Remote Control Codes:
Using the orange "LEARN" Button
1. Press and release the orange "learn" button on the opener. The
learn indicator light will glow steadily for 30 seconds (1).
2. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the button on the hand-held
remote that you wish to operate your garage door (2).
3. Release the button when the opener light blinks. It has learned the
code. If the light bulb is not installed, two clicks will be heard (3).
Now the opener will operate when the remote control push button is
pressed. If you release the remote control push button before the
opener light flashes, the opener has not learned the code.
