Section 6: Operator Configuration Setting Close Direction: The direction of motor rotation depends on mounting position and/or how the main input power phases are wired. This setting is used to ensure the door is closing and opening according to the input commands. The following instructions are based on the door having been set near mid-travel at installation.
Section 6: Operator Configuration Setting Limits: After the Limit Orientation has been appropriately configured, each of the limit switches must be set for proper door operation. The following instructions are based on the door having been set near mid-travel at installation. 1) Press and HOLD the OPEN key to run the door until up limit is activated.
Section 6: Operator Configuration Setting Limit Overrun WARNING: The limit overrun will override external reversing devices. Therefor, any externally connected devices will be disabled during that portion of the door travel controlled by the Limit Overrun. The Down Limit Overrun function should be used to close the door no more than the final 2 inches of door travel. AVERTISSEMENT: La fonction de dépassement de limite annulera les dispositifs de renversement externes, y compris les cellules photoélectriques et des systèmes de détection ou d’inversion aux bords.
