PROGRAMMING FORCE AND CONTACT REVERSE

Force Control

The force controls are automatically set when the wall control
is used for the rst 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.
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.

Contact Reverse Test

NOTE: The limit and Force settings MUST BE COMPLETED
before performing the Contact Reverse Test.
1. With the garage door open, lay a 2 X 4 board
at on the oor 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 to
the full open position.
The long LED light on the powerhead will begin
to ash 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 ashing 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 oor.
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.
