SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
12.1 Testing Close Cycle
a. Press the OPEN button to open the door.
b. Place a piece of timber approximately 40mm high on the floor
directly under the door (Fig. 12.1).
c. Press the CLOSE button to close the door. The door should strike
the object and start to re-open.

d. Press the CLOSE button to close the door.
e. Press the OPEN button to open the door. When the door reaches
the half open point, grab the bottom rail of the door firmly and
the door should stop.

WARNING! If the door fails these tests, put the opener
into manual mode, only operate the door by hand and
call for service.

12.4 To Recalculate Force Margins
a. Reprofiling is a simplified way of re-learning the travel characteristic of a previously setup Limit Switch travel installation.
Re-profiling can be used when the travel characteristics of the door change due to mechanical adjustments etc. To
initiate a re-profile, simply locate “MENU 10.2 Reprofile Travel”, press SET and follow the prompts. The door will start
to move and re-calculate force margins. The door can move between the open and close limit positions up to two (2)
times (depending on the position of the door and the power up condition).
b. A single beep will be heard once the process is complete.
c. Test the force again as per “Safety Obstruction Force Test” (Section 12.1 and 12.2).
