Wayne 3514 Setting Door Opening Travel, Infrared Safety Sensor Obstruction Test, Test Procedure

Step 28: Setting Door Opening

Travel

Do not use adjustments to compensate for a poorly balanced door. This will interfere with the proper operation of the travel adjustments and may damage door.

The door opener is assembled with the open travel adjustment preset for a typical door, but all doors should be adjusted to stop as close as possible to the door’s “natural” fully open, resting position.

To determine the door’s “natural” fully open, resting position, disconnect door from opener using the Emergency Release Disconnect (see page 32, HOW TO OPERATE YOUR DOOR MANUALLY) and manually raise door to its “natural” fully open, resting position. Use this location for your open limit setting. To determine if door needs adjustment, activate the opener to bring door to fully open position.

NOTE: If door does not open fully and opener light flashes (make sure the bulb is installed and operating) check for an obstruction or see Adjustment #1, page 27 (Adjusting Opening Force).

To adjust for a non-standard door or to precisely set the open position: Using the wall station, operate the door and stop it in mid-travel position; using a flathead screwdriver turn the OPEN travel adjuster for more (counter-clockwise) or less (clockwise) travel. A 1/4 turn equals approximately 1” of trolley movement.

NOTE: Confirm that the door has stopped in the UP position as a result of the Upper Limit Switch and not because the Trolley has hit the open Stop Bolt, which is mounted in the Rail near the power head. The correct condition can be verified by observing that the openers Convenience Light does not flash after the fully open door comes to a stop. The faulty condition may also be confirmed visually by checking to see if the Trolley is resting against the stop bolt.

To confirm final OPEN travel adjustment, activate the opener to bring door to fully open position. The opener light should not be flashing.

Step 29: Infrared Safety Sensor Obstruction Test

Test Procedure

Starting with the door in the fully open position, place a 6” High object on the floor progressively one foot from the left side of the door; center of door and one foot from the right side of door (as illustrated). In each position, activation of the opener with the wall station should cause the door to move approximately one foot, stop and then reverse to fully open position. The same 6” High object when placed on the floor should also cause a closing door to reverse.

If the door does not respond properly to these tests, the Infrared Safety Sensors must be adjusted (refer to step 21 or 22 depending on type of sensors used). Repeat this test procedure. If the door opener still will not respond properly and fails this test, the door may cause severe injury or death. Have a qualified service person make repairs.
