Potentiometer Description
Stop XStops or slows door when object is detected in path of opening door (not yet in
XTurn Potentiometer:
• Clockwise = door stops and creeps open
• Counterclockwise = door stops and closes
XAlso adjusts the power to the motor when the door is held open for extended periods
of time. The motor power is reduced from “back-check” power to “Stop” power
(assuming “stop” power is lower than “back-check” power) This reduces the risk of
the motor overheating at hold open allowing the door to close as well as reducing
stress on mechanical and electrical components. To adjust power applied to the door
at hold open:
Turn STOP potentiometer fully counterclockwise
Place the “on-off-hold open” switch to hold open
After the door has been in the back-check area for 8 seconds, motor power will
be reduced according to the “STOP” setting. If the door begins to slowly drift close
turn the “STOP” potentiometer slightly clockwise to increase power.
Turn “On/Off/Hold Open” switch off and allow the door to time out and fully close
Turn the “On/Off/Hold Open” switch to hold open again and observe door at the
full open position. Door should hold open and not drift close.
If door still drifts close, continue increasing STOP power until the door holds
open against the door stop.
Each time an adjustment is made, the door must be allowed to close, and then
reactivated for the change to take place.
