Test door at factory setting prior to setting adjustment.
OPEN RAMPDOWN DISTANCE This setting is used to change the point where the door begins to decelerate to slow speed as it approaches the Open Limit. The user can choose between auto (which is configured by the system) or the desired number of shaft rotations (between 0.5 turns and 3 turns in half rotation increments).
