Power failure? Disconnect from power source and after 3 seconds re-connect the operator. Is the door stuck because of snow and ice? Check the lines and the connections of the push-button switch. Is there water in the push-button switch or in the key operated switch? Disconnect all external components and try running the operator via the TEST/RUN button. Check 3amp fuse in the plug and then check 1.6amp fuse on the P.C.B (please click here for instructions)

The operator reacts on the transmitter but not on the push-button switch
Check the line of the push-button switch. Does the push-button switch work, when the remote receiver is disconnected? If so, the remote transmitter or receiver might be defective.

The operator reacts on the push-button but not on the transmitter
Check the accordance of the transmitter and the receiver code. Displace the antenna of the receiver. Avoid each metal contact (reduces the range). Check the battery of the transmitter

The operator neither reacts on the push-button nor on the transmitter
Disconnect the receiver or remove the transmitter battery. Use your push-button switch only. If this solves the problem, your transmitter may be defective. Disconnect the push-button switch and use your transmitter only. If this solves the problem, the push-button switch or the line of the push-button switch may be defective.

The door doesn’t open completely

Is the limit switch „CLOSE” set correctly? Is the door jamming while closing? Unlock the carriage manually (make the door running well). Lubricate and oil the pivotal points of the door. Run through the automatic learning cycle.

The emergency release doesn’t work
Is the limit switch „CLOSE” correctly set? If not, your opener switches off under pressure. In this case the chain is under tension and therefore the emergency release can hardly be unlocked. Make sure that the limit switch is correctly set.

The light doesn’t work
Replace the bulb (230 V, max. 40 Watt)

The operator isn’t running smooth
Unlock the carriage of the opener. Move the door manually and make sure that the door is well balanced (must come to a stop at each position).
The spring tension is too high or there is even a spring fracture.

The motor is buzzing but the door doesn’t move
The door is jamming.

The operator works, but the door doesn’t move
The carriage is unlocked. If you want to lock it, open the door, but not completely, and let the opener run. The carriage locks in automatically.

The operator doesn’t work because of a power failure
Unlock the carriage with the help of the emergency release and open the door manually. (If you have a garage where you can only enter from outside: Unlock the door with the key and turn the door-handle, then your opener will be unlocked. If you have a garage where you can also enter from inside: pull at the Bowden cable hanging from the carriage.)
