CONTACT REVERSE TEST
The force adjustments and limit switch settings
MUST BE COMPLETED before testing.
1. Testing.
• Open garage door using wall button.
– Place a 2" x 4" board (laid flat) under center 
of garage door opening (Fig. 6-6). 
• Close door using wall button.
• When door contacts board, the door must stop 
(within 2 seconds) and reverse direction 
returning to open position.
2. Adjustment.
• If the door does not properly reverse.
– Check to see if door has "close" limit 
programmed. It should not have reached its 
"close" limit before hitting board.
– If the door STOPS but does not reverse, 
decrease "CLOSE FORCE" control 
setting slightly (turn it counter-clockwise).
• Test again. Repeat as necessary until door 
reverses upon contacting board. 
CLOSE
1. Press and hold both of the "SET" buttons 
( &  ) together until the green indicator 
light blinks (about 5 seconds). 
2. All close and open travel limit settings are 
erased. Then follow the steps on page 20 to 
reprogram close and open travel limits.
NOTE: The opener will not close the door 
automatically unless the Safe-T-Beam
®
System is
installed.
SET
SET
1. By turning the Close Force Control clockwise, 
the CLOSE force can be increased. By turning 
the Close Force Control counter-clockwise, 
the CLOSE force can be decreased. Set the 
CLOSE force level at the minimum force required 
to close door without reversing.
2. Once the desired level is selected, this stores the 
maximum force level for the CLOSE direction in memory.
3. By turning the Open Force Control clockwise, the 
OPEN force can be increased. By turning the Open
Force Control counter-clockwise, the OPEN force 
can be decreased. Set the OPEN force level at the 
minimum force required to open door without stopping.
4. Once the desired level is selected, this stores 
the maximum force level for the OPEN direction 
in memory.
