OPERATING MODES
Once the door is operating correctly the desired mode can be selected:. There are five
modes available:
i. Automatic mode (green LED) –the door will open when a sensor is triggered and
close after the preset dwell time has elapsed.
ii. Hold open mode (Blue LED) –door will open and remain open until another mode
is selected.
iii. Lock mode: door will close and remain closed until another mode is selected
through remote system, if an e-Lock is connected.
iv. Pet mode (Yellow LED) –Will open the door to the pet opening width when pet
sensor is triggered and close after the preset dwell time has elapsed.
v. Manual mode: the door can be manually operated; the system will not drive the
door.
vi. This option is for function select.
•Once the settings are confirmed the drive unit can be powered on. Switch the main
isolator switch on the left side of the controller to the down (on) position. Caution: the
door will begin to move without warning!
•After a short delay, the LED display will begin to flash, and door will begin close
slowly. If the door starts to open when first powered up, turn dip switch 1 to the
opposite position (leave power on), the door will then change direction to the closing
position.
•During self calibration process, once the door has fully closed, the door will then
slowly slide to the open position, then close slowly back to the closed position with a
small increase in speed. The door will then open in a fast speed once, then closed.
Once the lights on the control panel stop blinking and turns on solid green,
learn cycle is successful. The Prime Lock has now memorized the width of the door
opening, the weight and friction of your door while sliding. And now knows the
individual power to operate your door smoothly and reliable. Your Prime Lock is now
ready to be used.
SPEED ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment of Speed:
Opening Speed: 0.4in to 1.6in/second / 10 to 41 cm/second
Closing Speed: 0.5in to 0.8in/second / 12 to 22 cm/second
Slam Mode:
Opening Speed under 80%, Open and Close speed is same.
Opening Speed higher than 80%, Closing speed is half of opening.
Without rubber:
Opening Speed lower than 50%, Open and Close speed is same.
Opening Speed higher than 50%, Closing speed is half of opening.
Opening time: 0 to 20 seconds (Adjustable)

SYMPTOM: Door does not open fully after learn cycle.
CAUSE:Incomplete learn cycle.
SOLUTION:Remove the external cover (if already fitted). Turn the Prime Lock off at the
controller switch. Close the door manually. Turn Prime Lock back on with the controller
switch. Test again after the learn cycle has completed. Refit external cover.
SYMPTOM: Door does not open fully and automatically reopens after every ‘close’
cycle.
CAUSE:Rack & pinion have skipped teeth.
SOLUTION:Check the engagement of the rack and pinion gears and adjust if
necessary. Remove the external cover (if already fitted). Turn the Prime Lock off at the
controller switch. Close the door manually. Turn the Prime Lock back on at the
controller switch. Test again after the learn cycle has completed. Refit external cover.
SYMPTOM: Door opens/closes very slowly and/or struggles to move the door.
CAUSE:Door weight configuration is incorrect.
SOLUTION:Turn on DIP switch 5 or 6to increase the power output.
SYMPTOM: Door cannot overcome the starting friction.
CAUSE 1:Door lock/catch is engaged.
SOLUTION 1: Prime Lock will only operate when the door is unlocked. Release the door
lock and try again.
CAUSE 2: Heavy weather seals or excess friction in the door.
SOLUTION 2: Investigate excessive door friction and/or turn on DIP switch 2 to
increase Prime Lock starting power.

TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM: Door tries to open but does not.
CAUSE: Rack & pinion have skipped teeth.
SOLUTION: Check the engagement of the rack and pinion gears and adjust if
necessary. Remove the external cover (if already fitted). Turn the Prime Lock off at
the controller switch. Close the door manually. Turn the Prime Lock back on at the
controller switch. Test again after the learn cycle has completed. Refit external
cover.
SYMPTOM: Door labours and excessive noise is produced during operation.
CAUSE: Rack and pinion gear too tightly meshed.
SOLUTION: Double check that there is aslight gap between the rack teeth and pinion
cog along the entire length of the rack. Adjust as required. Note: it may be easier to
adjust the height of the door via wheel adjustment than too remove/refit the rack
assembly.
SYMPTOM: Door opens at random.
CAUSE 1: Interference on the radio control frequency.
SOLUTION 1: Remove the external cover. Press and hold the ‘learn’ button on the
controller for 5sec. until the red light illuminates, to clear all previously learned
remotes. Press and release the ‘learn’ button on the controller and operate each of the
door remote controls/button/sensor one at a time.
CAUSE 2: Active IR sensors are set to too high a sensitivity.
SOLUTION 2: Remove the sensor covers and reduce the sensitivity setting dial slightly,
replace the covers and test. Re-adjust if necessary.
