NOTE
• To protect your new investment, your Excelerator® is
equipped with a Timer and Cycle Counter which work
together to prevent any chance of heat damage to
electrical circuits caused by too many cycles in too short
a time. If your Opener suddenly stops responding to the
Wall Console - Do Not Unplug the Unit - simply wait
10 minutes for the Timer/Cycle Counter to reset itself
and try again.
• Unplugging the unit will prevent the Timer/Cycle
Counter from resetting.
NOTE
The door must contact the 2" x 4" board before the
Carriage activates the Close Limit Switch. If not,
readjust the Close Limit Switch.
