ERROR
CODE MEANING CAUSE & REMEDY
bb Beams Blocked
Cause:
The infrared beam between the two Safety Beam sensors are blocked, indicang
an obstrucon or the baeries in the transmier beam are low.
Remedy:
Remove anything that may be obstrucng the doorway.
If there is no obstrucon, check that the Beam’s wiring is correct.
Test the beams to ensure they are in fact operaonal.
Check for possible ant infestaons in the beams.
If no beams have been installed, ensure that the beams seng in the operator
menu is set to bn.
LO Lockout
Cause:
The operator has been placed in ‘Holiday Lockout’ mode.
Remedy:
To deacvate Holiday Lockout, press the buon on the remote that was assigned
to acvate Holiday Lockout.
To prevent accidental acvaon, is it recommended that the funcon is assigned
to a remote/s by pressing two of the remote buons simultaneously. This will
reduce the risk of accidentally acvang the Lockout funcon.
ES Encoder Stop
(Fault/Obstrucon)
Cause:
The operator has ‘stalled’. This could be as a result of the door hing an
obstrucon, the limits being set incorrectly, an incorrect force limit seng or a
faulty Encoder.
Remedy:
1) Remove any physical obstrucon. If no obstrucon....2.
2) Check that the limits have been set correctly and that the door is not stopping
hard against the floor or any other physical stop. If the limits are set
correctly.....3.
3) Check the Door Balance. To do this, disengage the door from the Drive
Channel via the Manual Release Mechanism. Be sure to support the door
before doing so to ensure that the door does not drop aer being released.
Manually open and close the door. The door should open and close easily,
requiring the same amount of force in both direcons. If the door is difficult to
move in either or both direcons, and the open and closing forces are not
within the operang parameters, the door will need to be balanced and
serviced. If the Door Balance is correct.....4.
4) The Force Level sengs on the Control Board may need to be adjusted. This
may happen if the door is ageing.
5) If all the previous checks are in order the Encoder may be faulty and the
garage operator will need to be serviced.

Er Error Programming
Remote
Cause:
All 64 remote slots are occupied.
Remedy:
No further remotes can be programmed to the controller. In order to add new
remotes it will be necessary to delete some to make space.
HL Heavy Load
Cause:
The operator has detected that the liing force is greater than the allowed
maximum. This could be as a result of an increase in the door’s fricon, incorrect
door specs or possibly a broken door spring.
Remedy:
Cauon: This error message indicates that the door is too heavy and that the
operator is unable to li it. Disengaging the the door from the Drive Channel via
the Manual Release Mechanism could result in the door dropping fast and could
cause damage or injury!
Disengage the door slowly and with great cauon. Manually open and closed the
door to establish the weight. If it is difficult to li, the door will need to be
repaired before reconnecng it to the operator.
Cb Check Balance
Cause:
The door has gone out of balance, usually as a result of either one or both of the
door torsion springs being broken.
Remedy:
Disconnect the door from the operator and open and close it manually. If moving
the door in one direcon is more difficult than the other direcon then the door
will need to be repaired before reconnecng it to the operator.

7. Auxiliary Light
The Auxiliary Light output is
used to connect an external light
to the operator. The external
light can be switched on when
the operator is triggered for a
preselected period of me (up
to 9 minutes) or the light can be
acvated via a dedicated remote
buon, without triggering the
operator. If switched on by a
dedicated buon, it will remain
on for a period of 1 hour but can
be switched off before 1 hour is
up by pressing the same buon
again.
Refer to ‘Seng Auxiliary

CONNECTING A SOLAR PANEL
•Solar panels must be mounted in direct sunlight and the
panel angle alignment should be adjusted for opmal
condions for the locaon. It is very important to ensure
that no shadows will cross the panel during the day.
•It is recommended that a baery with a capacity of at least
7Ah is used.
•The operator will automacally detect that it is connected
to a solar supply once the panel voltage exceeds 17V DC. It
will then no longer indicate a power fail message but will
only display a single bar "_" when the panel output voltage
is too low for charging.
•When connecng a solar panel directly to the controller
the transformer must be removed from the input.

ERROR CODES
ERROR
CODE MEANING CAUSE & REMEDY
Lb Low Baery
Cause:
Low baery voltage. The baery may be faulty or an excessive number of
operaons, or devices, may have drained the baery.
Remedy:
Ensure the operator is plugged in and switched on. Fully charging a 5Ah 12V
baery will take 24hrs if the operator is not in use and if no other devices, such as
locks; receivers & lights, are connected.
Check that connected devices are not drawing excessive currents.
Addional devices will reduce the number of daily operaons and standby
operaons.
PF Power Fail
Cause:
The operator is not detecng an input supply voltage.
Remedy:
If using a transformer, ensure that the transformer is plugged in and switched on.
The output voltage should be between 12VAC – 18VAC, if not the transformer may
need to be replaced.
If using a solar panel, ensure the output voltage is between 17VDC - 22VDC. When
a solar panel is connected to the operator it is necessary for the DC voltage to be
higher than 17V for the operator to switch to DC Solar Operaon aer which the
operator will stop showing the Power Fail message.
Thank you for choosing Dura Access Control Equipment (DACE). We welcome you to the ever growing internaonal
community of DACE product owners. The advanced engineering and high-quality construcon of each DACE
product we build is something of which we are proud.
The LUX DC12 garage operator is packed with features to bring you convenience and enhance your security.
Your owners manual will introduce you to the features and operaon of your new LUX DC12. It is suggested that
you read it carefully since the informaon it contains can contribute greatly to the sasfacon you receive from
your new garage door operator.
●Only automate garage doors that are within specificaon and are in good working order. The door must be able
to be opened and closed using only one hand and, if released midway, the door should not move. The force
used to open the door by hand should be similar to that used to close the door. If the door is not in perfect
working order, it should be serviced by a qualified garage door technician prior to automaon.
●Automang a garage door increases the risk of entrapment and crushing. While all reasonable steps have been
taken to ensure that your garage door operator is safe to install and operate, it must be noted that a garage
door is a heavy piece of equipment and can cause serious injury and death. Never allow children to play with or
around the garage door. Only acvate the garage door when it is in full view and when there are no children or
animals in close proximity that could get injured.
●We highly recommend the installaon of Infrared Safety Beams to increase the safety of the doors operaon.
●The LUX DC12 is not waterproof and is therefore not suitable for outdoor use.
●It is important to note that the LUX DC12 garage operator is baery operated and by simply switching off the
mains power supply to the operator it does not mean that the operator does not have power. It is therefore
important that both the mains power supply and the baery be disconnected before working on the operator.
●Use extreme cauon when operang the manual release as the door may move, resulng in injury or damage.
The door should be inspected every 6 months by disengaging it from the operator and moving it by hand. The
door should move easily but it should not close on its own if released. If the door is found to be defecve, it
must remain disconnected from the operator and a qualified garage door technician be called to carry out
repairs to the door.

4. Status Output (auxiliary)
The Status output is used to provide feedback from the operator on the current posion of the Trolley on the
Drive Channel and the mains supply status. Most commonly used for the Status Output is an LED, connected to
the operator. The LED can be placed in a convenient locaon for ease of use.
It is important to understand that the Status Output only indicates the operaonal status of the operator and
not the door. To explain, imagine the door is closed and the LED indicates that the operator is closed. The door
is then placed in manual mode and opened manually, however the Trolley has not moved and remains in the
closed posion, the LED will connue to indicate that the status of the operator as closed. When the door is
reconnected to the Liing Bracket (placed back in automac mode), the status of both the door and operator
will be closed. Refer to ‘Seng Auxiliary Output....Menu 5’ for programming.

2. Safety Beams
Safety Beams are used for the early detecon of an object obstrucng the closing door that could result in
damage or injury. While Safety Beams will detect most obstrucons including cars, people and pets, it may not
necessarily detect all obstacles but will greatly reduce the risk. It is highly recommended that Safety Beams are
fied when automang a garage door.
For the purposes of the wiring diagram DuraOpcs Wireless Safety Beams (code DOPT03) are shown.
Refer to ‘Enable or Disable Safety Beams....Menu 3’ for programming.
3. Electric and Magnec Locks
An automated door must not be locked using a padlock as both the door and the operator could be damaged
should the operator be triggered while the door is locked.
If extra security is required the door can be locked using either an Electric Lock (strike lock) or a Magnec Lock
(power lock) and controlled by the operator.
Refer to ‘Enable or Disable Electric/Magnec Lock....Menu 6’ for programming.

1) With the door/s sll closed, and ensuring
that the Manual Release Mechanism has
been released, li the door/s by hand,
holding the Cross Tube. The door/s need
only be lied about 50cm and then lowered
again to the closed posion. This procedure
will automacally place the Drive Channel
Foot the correct distance from the wall.
2) Without moving the Drive Channel toward
or away from the door, use a Spirit Level to
confirm that the channel is sll vercal.
3) Make marks on the floor through the two
holes in the Drive Channel Foot.
4) Move the Drive Channel slightly, enough to
allow for holes to be drilled in the floor and
the 10mm wall plugs to be inserted.
(The Door Liing Tube/s can be removed to
make this easier).
5) Move the Drive Channel back into posion
and fasten the Drive Channel Foot to the
floor using the two coach screws
BEFORE PROGRAMMING & COMMISSIONING THE OPERATOR
The LUX DC12 operator uses the 12V baery for normal operaon, it is important that the baery is always
connected when the operator is in use.
▶Seng the Open and Close limits:
Aer the operator has been assembled, fastened to the wall and aached to the door (s), it must be
programmed to recognise the door’s Open and Close limits.
On first power up, or aer a factory reset, the operator’s LED display will flash nL. This is the indicaon that the
door limits need to be set. The operator will not allow operaon of the door unl this process has been
completed.
Follow ‘Seng the Open and Closed Limits...Menu 1’ to program the limits for the door(s).
Once the limits have been set, the door can be opened and closed using the UP or DOWN buons on the
operator.
If, aer the inial setup, the limits need adjusng the Programming Menu (Pr) can be entered again by pressing
the SET buon and the limits can be reset. Refer to ‘Seng the Physical End Stops’ on page 13.
Note: Depending on the motor wiring polarity, the UP and DOWN buons on the operator may not
necessarily correspond with the actual direcon that the door is moving in. The operator will automacally
correct this once the Open and Close Limits have been set.

▶Programming Remotes:
The Circuit Board has a built in receiver and the remotes, supplied as part of the operator kit, will have already been
programmed to the operator at the factory. To add addional remotes (up to 64) refer to ‘Programming Remotes’
on page 16.
In addion to triggering the operator to open and close, remotes can be programmed with the following features:
●Addional opening & closing buons:
●Each remote can be programmed with mulple open and close buons. An example of this feature is
programming one buon to open & close the garage door and a second buon to not only operate the door
but also to open and close a gate or switch on security lights.
●Remote Holiday Lockout:
●Any buon (or mulple buons) on a remote can be programmed to enable or disable the Holiday Lockout
feature. When acvated, the display on the operator will change to LO. Placing the controller into Holiday
Lockout will prevent any remote from acvang the operator unl Holiday Lockout is deacvated. This
feature is useful to prevent any members of staff or contractors from entering the garage while the owners
are away.
Courtesy Light Operaon:
The operator has a built in LED light and whenever the operator is acvated, this Courtesy Light will switch on for a
period of 5 minutes. During a power failure, however, the Courtesy Light will only remain on for a period of 1
minute.
In addion to the standard Courtesy Light operaon, the built in LED light can also be switched on and off using a
remote control buon, without acvang the operator. To achieve this, a dedicated buon on the remote must be
programmed to the operator. Pressing this designated buon on the remote will acvate the light for a period of
one hour, unless it is switched off using the same buon again.
▶An Crush Gap:
The following will happen if the operator receives a trigger from a remote (or the buons on the operator) while the
door is already in moon:
•If the door is closing, the door will stop briefly and then reopen to the fully open posion.
•If the door is opening and it is stopped within ±30cm of the fully closed posion, it will connue opening when it
receives the next trigger to prevent it from closing on a child or animal.
•If the door is opening, and it is stopped further than ±30cm from the closed posion, the door will start to close
when it receives the next trigger.
Door operaon during low baery and power fail condions:
The operator will flash an Lb (Low Baery) error message due to excessive operaons, long power failure or a
damaged baery.
While the Lb condion persists, the door will not close automacally. This is to prevent a person from being locked
out of the garage. The door will have to be closed manually by releasing the Manual Release Mechanism.
Note: If the door is stopped during a power failure while it is closing, it will not automacally reverse back open.
Auto Close Funcon:
The operator can be programmed to automacally close the door aer a programmed period of me. Auto Close
can only be acvated if Safety Beams have been installed. When enabling the Auto Close funcon the Safety Beam
funcon will automacally be enabled.
During a power failure the courtesy light will switch off aer one minute, even if the dedicated light buon is
pressed.
The An Crush Gap is the 30cm space towards the end of the door closing cycle, before the door is fully
closed. This is a built in safety feature to prevent the entrapment of people or animals by the door. Press the SET buon to acvate the Programming Menu, use the UP and DOWN buons to navigate through the
menu.
To exit the menu, arrow down to the EXIT prompt (bc) and press the SET buon.
