Important note: During initial power-up learning, the Safety
Obstruction Force values of the XTrac default to a maximum setting.
Encountering a solid obstruction during the course of the initial learning
cycles may result in garage door damage. It is recommended that
initial learning cycles be carefully supervised in order to prevent the
possibility of the garage door hitting an obstruction causing personal and
or property damage.
Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment
Hinge open the Courtesy Lamp Cover (Figure.19) to expose the adjustment
controls
Rotate the (green) “Offset” Adjustment Pin (Figure.19-G) in a clockwise
direction to increase Safety Obstruction Offset Value and in an anti-
clockwise direction to decrease the value
The Safety Obstruction Offset Value may be adjusted within a range of
30N (3kg) to 100N (10kg)
The selected value remains identical for both open and close direction
travel
Testing Open Direction Safety Obstruction Force Value
With the garage door in the fully closed position – stand in the middle of
the garage doorway and just behind the path of the garage door
Activate the XTrac so that the garage door begins to open
When the garage door has opened to approximately 450mm from the ground
apply some firm downward force to one of the structural members of the
garage door
If the Safety Obstruction Force Value is correct the XTrac will stop (Safety
Stop) the garage door upon sensing the applied force. If too little or too
much force is required to make the XTrac stop - turn the (green)
“Offset”Adjustment Pin (Figure.19-G) five degrees in the appropriate
direction - clockwise to increase force - anti-clockwise to decrease force -
and then repeat the previous testing steps
Testing Close Direction Safety Obstruction Force Value
With the garage door in the fully open position - stand in the middle of
the garage doorway and just behind the path of the garage door
Ensure that the Close Limit Travel Adjustment (Section.4.1) has been set so
that bottom of the garage door is resting firmly against the ground
Place a 32mm thick block of wood under the line of the garage door
(approximately at the midpoint of the garage door) so that the garage door
will close onto the block of wood
Activate the XTrac so that the garage door begins to close
If the Safety Obstruction Force Value is correct the XTrac will stop and
reverse the direction of the garage door (Safety Reverse) upon
encountering the block of wood.
If too little or too much force is required to make the XTrac Safety
Reverse - turn the (green) “Offset adjustment Pin (Figure.19-G) five degrees
in the appropriate direction - clockwise to increase force - anti-clockwise
to decrease force - and then repeat the previous testing steps
