Adjustment; Adjust The Handing And Limits - Chamberlain SL595101UL Installation Manual

Adjust the Handing and Limits

To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons
l
(particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or
KILLED by a moving gate.
Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety
l
reversal system.
NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move
l
gate.
The adjustments allow you to set where the gate will stop in the open and
close position. The force is adjusted automatically when you set the
limits but should be fine tuned using the FORCE dial on the control
board (refer to Force Dial section). The Test Buttons on the control board
will not work until the handing is set. For dual gate applications the
limits will have to be set for each operator. The gate MUST be attached to
the operator before setting the limits and force.
OPEN RIGHT: If the operator is installed on the right side of the driveway
when looking out of the property, the gate should be set to open right.
OPEN LEFT: If the operator is mounted on the left side of the driveway
when looking out of the property, the gate should be set to open left.
Set the handing
1. To set the initial handing of the operator, make sure that both OPEN
LEFT and OPEN RIGHT LEDs are flashing. If they are not flashing,
press and hold both the OPEN LEFT and OPEN RIGHT handing
buttons until both handing LEDs start to flash and the operator
beeps.
2. Press and release either the OPEN RIGHT or OPEN LEFT button
depending on which direction the gate should open. The
corresponding handing LED will turn solid.
To relearn the handing, repeat the steps above.
Set the limits
1. Make sure the gate is closed.
2. Press and release the OPEN test button to open the gate.
3. Press the STOP test button when the desired OPEN limit is reached.
Adjust the limit nut or cam so it makes contact with the OPEN limit
switch at this position. If the gate stops early, move the limit nut or
cam to allow for additional travel.
4. Press and release the CLOSE test button to close the gate.
5. Press the STOP test button when the desired CLOSE limit is
reached. Adjust the limit nut or cam so it makes contact with the
CLOSE limit switch at this position. If the gate stops early, move the
limit nut to allow for additional travel.
Set the Force and Run Distance
1. Press the OPEN test button to open the gate.
2. Press and release both the OPEN LEFT and OPEN RIGHT handing
buttons.
3. Press the handing button below the solid LED.
4. Run the operator one full cycle using the test buttons. The initial
forces and run distance will be set during this cycle.

ADJUSTMENT

NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking
l
gate.
If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control
l
may also need adjustment.
After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be
l
tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with an object.
