Programming the time for the standard distance covered
(without soft-stop, slow run)

Note:

If only one drive (1-wing operation) is used, the learning steps

for wing 2 are different.
For “standard” programming: See the text for information.

For “advanced” programming skip step 5,6,7 and 8 by pressing

button L1.

Button L1 must be pressed twice for this program.
1. The wings should be closed and locked.
2. Press button L1 briefly (1 second), both wings open.

Note: If one or both wings close instead of opening, the brown
and black cables must be swapped on this motor. Switch off the
power (restart), then start programming again from the
beginning.

3. Press L1 again when both wings have reached the limit stop (+ let
it buzz for two seconds). Only wing 2 is now running, it closes now.
When wing 2 has closed, wing 1 starts to run automatically and
closes.

Note: If only one wing is used, please wait (for about 15
seconds) without pressing any button, wing 1 starts to move
automatically.

Continue with the completion of the installation

Completion of the installation/programming:
Once the covered distance is programmed, the transmitters can
be programmed (not required for kits) or deleted.

1. Start the gate with the transmitter or a connected button and
observe the process. Close the gate again WITHOUT having made
any settings.
2. If the gate does not close completely by itself, adjust the
potentiometer to other values, adapted to fit the experience value
from the test. (e.g. increase running time, correct force. bipart delay)

Caution: The wing must run for at least one second at the stop
so that it reaches the stop in the even of wind loads (slower). It
is not possible to compensate this using increased force. The
programming of the running time must be repeated.

3. Now start a second attempt and proceed again as above. Close
the gate first before you make any settings.
4. Once all settings have been made, check the function of the
photocells, buttons, flashing lamp, transmitters, accessories etc. If
you desire automatic closing, set the potentiometer for the rest to
gate OPEN (“timer to close”).
5. Show all persons that use the gate how the gate moves, how the
safety functions work and how to operate the drive by hand.

How long is the probable service life of a gate opener?

When used for private purposes, a correctly installed gate opener can
operate perfectly for in excess of 10 years. Both the gate and the gate
opener must be checked regularly and serviced in accordance with
their respective instructions.

What happens in case of power failure?

All Chamberlain gate openers are equipped with a release system by
means of which the gate can be operated manually in case of power
failure.

How long does it take to install a gate opener?

Depending on your specific technical skills, the installation of the
mechanical components can take approx. 3 to 4 hours. Firstly, the gate
needs to be properly prepared such that installation work can

commence. The electrical connection work takes approx. 1 to 2 hours.

Each user should be instructed for at least 30 minutes with regard to
the operation of the gate opener, whereby its functionality should be
demonstrated and safety aspects, protective facilities and procedure in
case of power failure should all be explained.

Is it possible to open just one wing of the gate (pedestrian mode)?

Yes, it is possible. This process can be operated via remote control (a
2-channel remote control is the minimum requirement here) or via
switch operation (see “Standard” operation mode setting).

Frequently asked questions

Programming the “Advanced” distance covered (individual)

Button L1 must be pressed 9x in all for this program. Each time this is
done a position (time) is saved. This makes it possible to save the soft
stop (slow run) for the individual adaptation of the gate or application.
Very long soft stop phases or almost none are possible.
Wing 1 = “master”
Wing 2 = “second”
1. The wings should be closed and locked.
2. Press L1; for more than 5 seconds = until wing 1 starts (opens). Let
go of button!!
3. Press L1 again; soft stop OPEN for wing 1 begins at this position.
4. Press L1 again; limit stop reached (+2 seconds) Wing 2 now starts
automatically.
5. Press L1 again; soft stop OPEN for wing 2 begins at this position.
6. Press L1 again; limit stop reached (+2 seconds) Wing 2 now restarts
automatically and closes.
7. Press L1 again; soft stop CLOSED for wing 2 begins at this position.
8. Press L1 again; limit stop CLOSED reached (+2 seconds) Wing 1
now starts automatically.
9. Press L1 again; soft stop CLOSED for wing 1 begins at this position.
10. Press L1 again; limit stop CLOSED reached (+2 seconds)
