HOMELINK COMPATIBLE!
If your vehicle is equipped with a Homelink system (version 7), you can reach our drive/radio receiver at 868.6 MHz.
With holder Homelink systems, you must use a different frequency (40.685 or 434.42 MHz). For more details, visit www.eurohomelink.
com or contact your local stockist.
IMPORTANT!
Many problems can be solved by a control reset (deletion of force values) and subsequent reprogramming of the operator!
Should you be unable to nd and eliminate the fault with the help of this table, then take the following steps:
• Perform a control reset (delete force setting) on the control.
• Disconnect any accessories that may have been connected (e.g. light barrier).
• Set all DIP switches to default settings.
• If settings have been changed using the TorMinal, carry out a control unit reset using the TorMinal.
• Check all connections at the direct plug-type adapters and the terminal bar, and retighten them, if necessary.
To eliminate drive faults, follow the instructions in the table below If you are encountering any difculties, contact your stockist or visit the
http://www.sommer.eu for support.
