Wayne-Dalton series 3000 user manual IMPORTANT! Test Contact Obstruction Sensing Feature

Step 27: Setting Door Close Travel Plus “Contact Obstruction Sensing” Test

With wall control up/down button, activate door to full open position; reactivate to close position. The door should stop on the floor with the bottom door seal slightly compressed. If the door reverses off the floor, turn close travel knob 1/4 turn “less”. If door is not completely closed, turn travel knob 1/4 turn “more”. Repeat if necessary.

IMPORTANT! Test “Contact Obstruction Sensing Feature”

After installing opener, the door must reverse when it contacts a 1 inch high object on the floor

Activate the door to the full, open position and place a 1” (25mm) solid test obstacle on the floor under the garage door. Activate the door to the closed position. The door should reverse upon contact with the 1” obstacle.

If door stops on the 1” obstacle, adjust the close travel knob 1/4 turn “more” until door reverses upon contact with obstacle. Repeat if necessary.

When the door reverses, remove the test object and run the full cycle of open and close of the door. Door should not re- verse when it comes to the fully closed position.

Note: If opener fails to pass this test, repeat Step 27. Also see Adjustment #2, page 22, (Contact Obstruction Sensing Adjustment).

Step 28: Setting Door Opening Travel

Do not use adjustments to compensate for a poorly balanced door. This will interfere with the proper opera- tion 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 26, 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 21 (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.
