After Installation Care

20.1 Service Checklist
Preventative servicing of your garage door and opener, is just as important as servicing your car. Much like the engine of your car, your garage door is made up of numerous moving parts designed to lift and lower your door safely and efficiently.
Ongoing preventative servicing ensures that your door continues to function within factory specifications, greatly reduces the risk of failure and repair bills down the track and ensures you maintain your Warranty.
WARNING! Failure to maintain your your garage door voids the warranty on your garage door opener.
DO NOT DO IT YOURSELF: Door adjustments should only be carried out by experienced persons, as this function can be dangerous if not performed under strict safety procedures.
Run the Safety Testing procedures MONTHLY in Section 13 to ensure garage door is fit for use.
TECHNICIAN CHECKLIST

1. Lubrication of the critical moving parts including chain drive, tracks, wheels or cable drum.
2. Tightening of door mounting points along with door bolts, screws, cables and connectors.
3. Adjustment of spring tension to limit ‘spring fatigue’.
4. Adjustment of opener travel limits and force margin to ensure the door opens and closes to specification.
5. Assessment and adjustment of safety components and accessories including safety beams, Auto-Lock and Safe Lock (if installed)
6. Assessment of the door alignment and the diagnosis of irregular operation remedies.

20.2 Battery Replacement
Battery Type: 1 x CR2032.

WARNING! The battery is hazardous and must be kept out of reach of children. The battery can cause severe of fatal injuries within 2 hours or less if swallowed or placed inside any part of the body. If you suspect the battery has been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, SEEK IMMEDIATE medical attention.
20.3 Battery Disposal
When batteries reach the end of their usual life in accordance with Australian Battery Recycling Initiative please follow the next simple steps for protecting the environment.
WARNING! The Battery shall be disposed of properly, including keeping them away from children.
Even used batteries may cause injury.
DO NOT throw the batteries in municipal waste. This symbol of the crossed out wheeled bin indicates that the battery should not be placed in the municipal waste. Check your local regulations for appropriate disposal of the batteries.
Recycling all batteries will have other environmental and social benefits:

• Some batteries are less toxic but hazardous for other reasons. Lithium batteries can explode or catch fire in landfill, while button cells are dangerous if swallowed by children. Recycling offers a safe and environmentally responsible solution for end of life batteries.
• Battery recycling recovers non-renewable materials such as lead, cadmium, stella, zinc, manganese, cobalt, silver, plastics and rare earth elements.
• Removal of batteries and other hazardous household products from household waste facilitates the recovery of organic materials through alternative waste technologies such as composting. Batteries and heavy metals are known contaminants in compost.
• The community supports recycling because it reduces waste to landfill and achieves environmental benefits.

WARNING! Prior to disposal, recycling, or collection, all battery terminals must be securely insulated with a non conductive material to prevent any two batteries from short circuiting and generating heat during storage or transport. Battery terminals may be insulated with electrical tape; or batteries may be individually packaged in a non conductive material (e.g., plastic bag or original packaging).
20.4 Warranty
Warranty conditional on proper servicing as listed in 20.1 Service Checklist. Full details of the warranty are available in your Owners Opener Handbook, from your nearest B&D office or visit the B&D Website bnd.com.au.

Pressing the MODE button when a parameter is being adjusted will load the default value.

LIGHT TIMER

• Adjusts the time the main light will remain on after the door is operated or a remote control code set to the Light remote control function is used.

AUX OUPUT

• Configures how the AUX Output operates. If configured for Mimic light mode then the AUX output will activate whenever the main light output is on.
• All other settings require either a remote control code set to the AUX function or the Phone App to be used to activate the output.
• The time settings option indicates how long the output will remain on when triggered. If the output is already on, then a 2nd trigger will turn the output off.
• The toggle On/Off setting does not use a timer and the output simply changes state on each trigger..

C – Adjusting Force Margins
The Safety Obstruction Force is calculated automatically during setup. Adjusting this is normally only necessitated by environmental conditions such as windy or dusty areas, and areas with extreme temperature changes.

D – Battery Functions
a . Holding the STOP button for 10secs when running from battery backup will shut the PCB down so as to reduce battery current consumption to a minimum.
b. Holding the STOP button for 4secs when a battery is fitted and running from mains power will cause the controller to test the battery state to determine if it is disconnected / open circuit, missing, faulty or ready.
E – Setting the PET mode position

When activated, PET mode drives the door to a preset position from the close position, therefore allowing a pet or parcel to go under the door.
F – Setting Limits via Transmitter
The SPEED setting on the opener CAN NOT be adjusted when setting limits via the transmitter. Follow section 12.1 to set limits and adjust speed.

CLOSE LIMIT POSITION

WARNING! In setting the close limit position, do not force the door into the floor with excessive force, as this can interfere with the ease of operation of the manual release mechanism.

OPEN LIMIT POSITION

WARNING! The door will automatically close. open and close again after the next step. Ensure that nothing is in the door’s path.

G – Setting up Tilt Door
If installing on a door with a bad wave action, lengthening the arm will assist in reducing this effect.

Prior to limit set up, the opener can be set to J-Type Tilt Profile. This process allows the opener to pre-set to J-Type settings where the limit is not greater than 1500mm.
In JTYPE Mode the drive speed is reduced and cannot be adjusted.
