SOLUTION
Safety reversing sensors are not installed, connected or wires may be cut.
Inspect sensor wires for a disconnected or cut wire.
There is a short or reversed wire for the safety reversing sensors. Inspect
sensor wire at all staple points and connection points and replace wire or
correct as needed.
The wires for the door control are shorted or the door control is faulty.
Inspect sensor wire at all staple points and connection points and replace
wire or correct as needed.
Safety reversing sensors are misaligned or were momentarily obstructed.
Realign both sensors to ensure both LEDs are steady and not flickering.
Make sure nothing is hanging or mounted on the door that would interrupt
the sensors path while closing.
Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions, such
as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. Check wiring connections
at travel module and at the logic board. Replace travel module if necessary.
Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions, such
as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. Replace logic board if
necessary.
Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions,
such as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. Replace motor if
necessary.
Program travel to coasting position or have door balanced by a trained
technician.
Replace logic board.
Activate the operator again. If problem persists, replace logic board.
Battery backup charging circuit error, replace logic board.
Remove the resistor from the green terminal of the operator's logic board
and cycle power 3 times leaving the unit unplugged for 10 seconds, re-install
resistor to operator. If the error code is still present, replace the resistor or
logic board.
Manually open and close the door. Check for binding or obstructions, such
as a broken spring or door lock, correct as needed. If the door is binding or
sticking contact a trained door systems technician. If door is not binding or
sticking attempt to reprogram travel (refer to page <OV>).
Communication error to travel module. Check travel module connections,
replace module if necessary.
Safety reversing sensors are misaligned or were momentarily obstructed.
Realign both sensors to ensure both LEDs are steady and not flickering.
Make sure nothing is hanging or mounted on the door that would interrupt
the sensor's path while closing.
Replace logic board.
