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 flat on the
floor 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 flash
red with the reversal of the door.
• Remove the 2" x 4" board and operate the operator with
the wall control again. This cycle will clear the flashing 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 "Programming the Down Limit" section to make
certain the door is closing tight against the floor.
2. Repeat the "Force Control" section on the left to set force
limits.
3. Repeat the "Contact Reverse Test" above.
4. Repeat this process as needed until the door passes the
contact reverse test.
Refer to page 32 to adjust the force settings.
