  • Page 18 & For your opener to function properly a few connections must be made prior to the learning process. Accessories should NOT be installed until after the learning process is completed. 1. Using the provided orange jumper wire, connect the normally closed safety terminals (terminals 3, 4, and 5) to one of the negative terminals (terminals 12, 13, 14, or 15).
  • Page 19 NOTE: Before beginning the one touch learning procedure be sure to have full open and full closed stop points* set up. These will let your gate know where to stop during the learning process. Make sure that the leaf or leaves are in the full closed position. Enter the programming mode by pressing P1 6 times until all 5 LEDs (A,B,C,D,E) are lit.
  • Page 20 If the learning process was completed using the simple one touch process this process can be by- passed. This procedure is used to define the deceleration and stop points of the operator or operators. The procedure differs depending whether it is single leaf or double leaf. Make sure the leaves are closed.
