Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force
Adjusting Safety Obstruction Force
The  Safety  Obstruction  Force  is  calculated  automatically 
and  set  in the memory on  the  opener  during  setup.  It  is 
usually not necessary to adjust the Safety Obstruction Force. 
The only time the force may need to be increased is due 
to  environmental conditions, for example,  windy  or  dusty 
areas, and areas with extreme temperature changes.
WARNING: 
Doors requiring over 400N of force 
to move must have Safety Infra-red Beams fitted 
for safety.
Step 16.3 - To Increase Force Pressure
Press and hold the FORCE MARGIN SET button (Fig. 
30).
While holding down the FORCE MARGIN SET button, 
press the PLUS (+) button. Each press increases the 
force margin. 
The OPEN LIMIT LED will flash each time the PLUS 
(+) button is pressed to indicate an increase in force. 
If the OPEN LIMIT LED flashes continuously 
when the PLUS (+) button is being pressed, 
this  indicates  that  the  maximum  force 
pressure setting has been reached.
Test  the  force again as  per  Steps 16.1 and  16.2  on 
page 17. 
Step 16.4 - To Decrease Force Pressure
Press and hold the FORCE MARGIN SET button (Fig. 
31).
While holding down the FORCE MARGIN SET button, 
press the MINUS (-) button. Each press decreases the 
force margin (Fig. 31). 
The CLOSE LIMIT LED will flash each time the MINUS 
(-) button is pressed to indicate a decrease in force. 
If the CLOSE LIMIT LED flashes continuously 
when  the  MINUS  (-)  button  is  being 
pressed,  this  indicates  that  the  minimum 
force pressure setting has been reached.
Test  the  force again as  per  Steps 16.1 and  16.2  on 
page 17.
Step 16.5 - To Recall Factory Set Force
While holding down the FORCE MARGIN SET button, 
press the  LIMIT SET  button (Fig.  32) for  two (2) 
seconds.
Release both buttons. The default setting should now 
be recalled.
