LIMIT ADJUSTMENT

Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Limit adjustments
are not necessary when the door opens and closes completely and
doesn't reverse unintentionally in the fully closed position.

Situations requiring limit adjustment are listed below. Run the opener
through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.

Note: Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause motor to overheat and shut off. Allow a
15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the
opener.

Read the following carefully before proceeding to Force
Adjustment. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments.

If Door Doesn't Open Completely but Opens at Least 1,5m (5
feet): Increase up travel. Turn the up limit adjustment screw (1)

clockwise. One turn equals 5cm (2") of travel.

If door does not open at least 1,5m (5 feet): Adjust up (open)
force. See Force Adjustment.

If Door Doesn't Close Completely: Increase down travel. Turn
down limit adjustment screw (2) counterclockwise. One turn equals

5cm (2") of travel. If the door still will not close completely, lengthen
the door arm. If it still will not close completely, lower the header
bracket.

If Opener Reverses in Fully Closed Position: Decrease down
travel. Turn down limit adjustment screw (2) clockwise. One turn
equals 5cm (2") of travel.

If Door Reverses when Closing and there is no Interference to
Travel Cycle: Test door for binding. Pull manual release handle.

Manually open and close door. If door is binding, call a door serviceman.
If door is not binding or unbalanced, adjust down (close) force.

PROGRAM YOUR OPENER & REMOTE

Activate the opener only when door is in full view, free of
obstruction and properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave
garage while door is in motion. Do not allow children to operate
push button(s) or remote(s). Do not allow children to play near
the door.

Your garage door opener receiver and remote control transmitter are
set to a matching code. If you purchase additional remote controls, the
garage door opener must be programmed to accept the new remote
code.

Program the Receiver to Match Additional Remote Control Codes

1. Press and hold the remote control push button (1).

2. Press and release the "Smart" button (2) on the opener panel. The

opener light will

flash

once.

3. Release the remote push button.

Now the opener will operate when the remote control push button is
pressed.

If you release the remote control push button before the opener
lights flash, the opener will not accept the code.

To Erase all Remote Control Codes

• Press and hold the "Smart" button on the opener panel until the
indicator light turns off (about 6 seconds).

All

the codes the opener

has learned will be erased.

• To reprogram, repeat Steps 1 – 3 for each remote control in use.

18

5-GB

FORCE ADJUSTMENT

The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should
not exceed 150 N (15kg). If the closing force is adjusted to more
than 150 N, the Protector System must be installed.

Do not use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or
sticking garage door. Excessive force will interfere with proper
operation of safety reverse system or damage garage door.

Force Adjustment Controls (1 & 2) are located on the right side panel
of the opener.

If the force adjustments are set too light, door travel may be
interrupted by nuisance reversals in down direction and stops in up
direction. Weather conditions can affect the door movement,
occasional adjustment may be needed.

Maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees, about 3/4 of a
complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force
adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

Test Down (Close) Force: Grasp the door handle or door bottom
when door is about halfway through down (close) travel. Door should
reverse.

Reversal halfway through down travel does not guarantee

reversal on a 25mm (one-inch) obstruction.

If the door is hard to hold

or doesn't reverse, decrease down (close) force by turning the
control (2) in a counterclockwise direction. Make small adjustments
until door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run opener
through a complete cycle.

If Door Doesn't Open at Least 1,5m (5 feet): Increase up (open)
force by turning the control (1) in a clockwise direction. Make small

adjustments until door opens completely. Re-adjust up limit if
necessary. After each adjustment, run opener through a complete
travel cycle.

If Door Reverses During Down (Close) Cycle: Increase down
(close) force by turning the control (2) in a clockwise direction. Make

small adjustments until door completes close cycle. After each
adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required
to close the door.

20

TEST THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM

The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door must
reverse on contact with a 25mm (1") obstacle laid flat on the
floor. Failure to properly adjust opener may result in serious
personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a
month and adjust as needed.

Procedure: Place a 25mm (1") obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor under
the garage door. Operate the door in the down direction. The door
must reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops on the obstruction,

it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Increase the down
limit by turning down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise
1/4 turn. Repeat test.

When the door reverses on the 25mm (1") obstacle, remove the
obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Door
must not reverse in closed position. If it does, adjust Limits and Force
and repeat safety reverse test.

21

INSTALL THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM
(See accessories)

The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should
not exceed 150 N (15kg). If the closing force is adjusted to more
than 150 N, the Protector System must be installed.

After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector
System™ accessory can be installed. Instructions are included with

this accessory.

The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety
against a small child being caught under a garage door. It uses an

invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing
door to open and prevents an open door from closing. It is strongly

recommended for homeowners with young children.

22

OPERATION OF YOUR OPENER

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:

• The Lighted Door Control Button. Hold the button down until door

starts to move.

• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry System (if you have

installed either of these accessories).

• The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold the push button down until

the door starts to move.

Opening the Door Manually:

Door should be fully closed if possible. Weak or broken springs
could allow an open door to fall rapidly. Property damage or
serious personal injury could result.

A. C-rail: The door can be opened manually by pulling the trolley

release handle down. To reconnect the trolley, rotate the lever. It
will reconnect on the next up or down operation.

B. T-rail: The door can be opened manually by pulling the trolley

release handle down and back (toward the opener). To reconnect
the trolley, pull the release handle straight down. It will reconnect
on the next up or down operation.

Do not use the manual release handle to pull the door open or
closed.

When the Opener is Activated by Remote Control or Lighted Door
Control Button:

1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open.

2. If closing, the door will reverse.

3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and exit of
pets and for fresh air).

4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will
close.

5. If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door will reverse.

6. If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door will stop.

7. The optional Protector System™ uses an invisible beam which,
when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and
prevents an open door from closing. It is STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED for homeowners with young children.

Allow a 15 minute cooling period after 5 continuous operations of the
opener.

The opener light will turn on: 1) when opener is initially plugged in;

2) when the power is interrupted; 3) when the opener is activated.

The light turns off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes. Bulb size is
40 Watts maximum.

CARE OF YOUR OPENER

When properly installed, opener will provide high performance with a
minimum of maintenance. The opener does not require additional
lubrication.

Limit and Force Adjustments: These adjustments must be checked
and properly set when opener is installed. Only a screwdriver is
required.

Weather conditions may cause some minor changes in the
door operation, requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during the
first year of operation.

Refer to the limit and force adjustments on pages 4 & 5. Follow the
instructions carefully and

repeat the safety reverse test after any

adjustment.

Remote Control Transmitter: The portable remote control may be

secured to a car sun visor with the clip provided. Additional remotes
can be purchased at any time for use in all vehicles using garage.
Refer to Accessories. The receiver must be programmed to operate
with any new remote.

Remote Control Battery: The battery should produce power for at
least one year. When the light becomes dim or does not come on,
replace the battery. If transmission range lessens, check the battery
test light.

To Change Battery: Slide battery door open. Replace battery. Do not
dispose of the old battery with household waste. Take batteries to a
proper disposal center.

HAVING A PROBLEM?

1. Opener doesn't operate from either door control or remote:

• Does the opener have electric power? Plug lamp into outlet. If it
doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets
are controlled by a wall switch.)

• Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation instruction
warnings on page 1.

• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under door? The door may be
frozen to ground. Remove any obstruction.

• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.

• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the
motor. Wait 15 minutes. Try again.

2. Opener operates from remote but not from door control:

• Is door control button lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener
terminals. Short the red and white terminals by touching both
terminals at the same time with a piece of wire. If the opener runs,
check for a faulty wire connection at the door control, a short under
the staples, or a broken wire.

• Are wiring connections correct? Review page 3.

3. Door operates from door control but not from remote:

• Check the battery test light. Replace battery if necessary.

• If you have two or more remotes and only one operates, review
receiver programming procedures on page 4.

• Is the door control button flashing? The opener receiver must
re-learn the remote control code. Follow the instructions on page 4.

4. Remote has short range:

• Is battery installed? Check battery test light. If the light is dim,
change the battery.

• Change the location of the remote control on the car.

• A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding will
reduce the transmission range.

• Make sure antenna is fully extended across ceiling towards the door.

• Use co-axial antenna adapter to move antenna. See Step 23.

• Switch to an alternate frequency by replacing receiver logic board
and transmitter.

5. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights don't

blink:

• Is something obstructing the door? Pull manual release handle.
Operate door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for
professional garage door service.

• Clear any ice or snow from garage floor area where garage door
closes.

• Review Force Adjustment.

• If door reverses in FULLY CLOSED position, decrease travel limits.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.

The need for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is
normal. Weather conditions in particular can affect door travel.

6. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights blink

for 5 seconds after reversing:

Check The Protector System™ (if you have installed this accessory).
If the light is blinking, correct alignment.

7. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to
the living quarters, Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM can be installed. This kit
was designed to reduce the "sounding board effect" and is easy to
install.

8. The garage door opens and closes by itself:

• Is there a neighbor with a garage door opener using the same
frequency code? Change your code.

• Make sure remote push button is not stuck "on".

9. Door stops but doesn't close completely:

Review Travel Limits Adjustment.

Repeat safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm
length, close force or down limit.

10. Door opens but won't close:

• Check The Protector System™ (if you have installed this accessory).
If the light is blinking, correct alignment.

• If opener lights do not blink and it is a new installation, check the
down force.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

11. Opener light does not turn on:

Replace light bulb (40 Watts maximum). Replace burned out bulbs
with

rough service

light bulbs.

12. Opener light does not turn off:

There may be a defective earth at the ceiling or wall receptacle. The
unit must be earthed.

13. Opener strains or maximum force is needed to activate door:

Door may be unbalanced or springs are broken. Close door and use
manual release rope and handle to disconnect trolley. Open and close
door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel
while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, call for
professional garage door service to correct the problem. Do not

increase the force to operate the opener.

14. Opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:

• Garage door springs are broken. SEE ABOVE.

• If problem occurs on first operation of opener, door may be locked.

Disable door lock.

15. Opener won't activate due to power failure:

•

C-rail:

Pull manual release handle straight down to disconnect trolley.
Door can be opened and closed manually. Rotate lever to reconnect
trolley.

T-rail:

Pull manual release handle down and back (toward
opener) to disconnect trolley. When power is restored, pull handle
straight down.

The next time the opener is activated, the trolley will reconnect.

• The Outside Quick Release accessory 1702E (if fitted) disconnects
the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.
