PROGRAM YOUR OPENER & REMOTE 19

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 back panel of the opener. 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.

ADJUSTMENT SECTION 20 - 22

LIMIT ADJUSTMENT 20

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.

FORCE ADJUSTMENT 21

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 back 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 50mm (2") 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-adjustup 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.

TEST THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM 22

The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door must reverse on contact with a 50mm (2") 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: Always begin with door in fully open position. Place a 50mm (2") 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 50mm (2") 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.

INSTALL THE PROTECTOR 23

(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.
