Wall Control Operation
Force Control
The force controls are automatically set when you use the wall control
for the first time with your garage door. The door MUST complete one
full cycle, from full open to full close and then, full close to full open,
before the setting are automatically recorded.
NOTE: Force controls DO NOT require programming.
Force limits are factory set and rarely require adjustments.
Making adjustments to these settings is covered in the
"Maintenance and Adjustments" Section of this Manual (page 14).
FORCE CONTROL IS NOW SET.
Contact Reverse Test
NOTE: The limit and Force settings MUST BE COMPLETED
before performing the Control Reverse Test.
When the door contacts the board, it should stop and reverse
direction within 2 seconds to the fully open position. Red LED lights
on the powerhead will begin to flash with the reversal of the door.
Remove the 2" x 4" board after a successful contact reversal test.
The next 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 the "Down Travel Limit" section (page 8) 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.
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, page 14.
