INTRODUCTION
Now that the Genie® garage door opener is installed, follow the steps in this manual to program the opener so that
the door opens and closes properly and all remote devices operate correctly. The following steps are a guide to setting opener so it functions properly.
The following steps list the order of programming the opener’s functional settings for use.

1. “TRAVEL LIMITS”
2. “FORCE CONTROL”
3. “REMOTE PROGRAMMING”

Term Definitions:
Travel Limits Programmable setting to adjust how far door travels up or down.
Force Control refers to how much power is needed to move (open/close) a particular door and does NOT require programming.
Remote Programming synchronizes remote devices (remote and keypad) with the powerhead.

OVERVIEW OF POWERHEAD CONTROLS
This section describes the programming functions of the opener. Use the following information to understand the buttons and LED indicators used to program functions.
Powerhead: There are 3 programming buttons and 2 LED lights on the powerhead. Each of the buttons are used to enter and complete the setup programming. The LED lights indicate status or a function change by illuminating ON, OFF, or ON FLASHING.

There are 3 programs:

1. Door Travel Limits.
   This program is used to set how far the door travels up and down.

2. Force Setting Program.
   This program controls the force applied during the closing and opening of the door. They are factory set and will rarely require adjustment.

3. Remote Programs (default menu)–only required for added remote control transmitters.
   Describes how to program remotes to sync with additional remote control devices, wall consoles, keypads and the powerhead.

NOTE: The 3 programming buttons are for programming ONLY. These buttons can NOT be used to operate the opener once the Required Programming section has been successfully completed.

ORIENTATION
Standing under the opener’s powerhead – facing the door – looking up – this is the view you will see of the programming buttons and LEDs.

NOTE: Each programming step has a 30 second time limit for completion after the function is initiated. After 30 seconds, two LED’s will illuminate RED indicating time has expired and the step must be re-started. Restart the step as many times as necessary to complete the programming.

• Just remember—the pointed end of the button (like an arrowhead) points in the direction the carriage will move when that button is pushed.

PROGRAMMING DOWN TRAVEL LIMIT

WARNING

• Make sure doorway is in full view and clear of obstacles and people to avoid injury or property damage.
• DO NOT operate this unit from the wall control before LIMITS are set. Severe damage to the opener could occur.
• The carriage MUST be engaged to turnbuckle BEFORE setting limits. See installation poster or call Customer Service at 1- 800-35-GENIE or visit www.GenieCompany.com.
• DO NOT set limits with Battery Backup attached. AC power MUST be connected to the opener while setting limits for proper operation.

   • Door should fully open so that door seal is even with door header. Do Not adjust so much that the door will bend or buckle or stretch door spring cables backward.
4. Press and release the SET/PRGM button
   • Both LEDs will fl ash BLUE then go out.

The UP limit is now programmed.

PROGRAMMING FORCE AND CONTACT REVERSE

Force Control
The force controls are automatically set when the wall control is used for the fi rst time with garage door opener. The door MUST complete one full cycle, from full open to full close and then, full close to full open, before the settings are automatically recorded.

WARNING
TO AVOID INJURY OR DAMAGE

• NEVER adjust the force settings to adjust for damage, including an unbalanced door, binding door track or broken spring.
• Perform a CONTACT REVERSE TEST monthly.

1. Press and release the Wall Control button and allow the garage door to travel and stop at the DOWN limit.
2. Press and release the wall control button and allow the garage door to travel and stop at the UP limit.

Force Control Adjustments
Force settings are programmed from the factory to remain within safe parameters. These should not require adjustments. However, certain circumstances may require adjustment. See section 4 Maintenance and Adjustments for detailed instructions pertaining to the adjustment of force controls.

Contact Reverse Test
NOTE: The limit and Force settings MUST BE COMPLETED before performing the Contact Reverse Test.

1. With the garage door open, lay a 2 X 4 board fl at on the floor at the center of the door opening.
2. Close the garage door using the wall control.
   • When the door contacts the board, it should stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds to the full open position.
   • The long LED light on the powerhead will begin to flash RED with the reversal of the door.
   • Remove the 2” x 4” board and operate the opener with the wall control again. This cycle will clear the flashing red LEDs.

Contact Reverse Adjustment
If the door stops before contacting the board or if it does not reverse direction to fully open after contact with the board, it may be due to an improperly set DOWN limit. Verify settings by:

1. Repeat the “Down Travel Limit” section to make certain the door is closing tight against the fl oor.
2. Repeat the “Force Control” section on the left to set force limits.
3. Repeat the “Contact Reverse Test” above.

Repeat this process as needed until the door passes the Contact Reverse Test. For further help, refer to the “Maintenance and Adjustment” section/Regular Maintenance.

DASMA INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Automatic Garage Door Opener and Garage Door Safety and Maintenance Guide

Garage Door System Safety-
An Automatic Decision
A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. They are often operated by electric door openers. Proper installation, operation and maintenance and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide safe, trouble-free operation. An improperly adjusted garage door or automatic opener can exert deadly force when the door closes. This could lead to serious injury or death from being hit by a closing garage door or from being trapped under the door.

Safety if Everyone’s Business
A few simple precautions can protect our family and friends from potential harm. Please take a few minutes to read the following safety and maintenance tips. Refer to your garage door and opener owner’s manual for details specific to your garage door and automatic opener.

Some of the following precautions and warnings are identified with this “Safety and Alert Symbol. ” This symbol indicates a potential personal safety hazard that can result in injury or death.

Garage Door Openers Are Not Toys

• Do not stand or walk under a moving door! Do not let children or adults play “beat the door.”
• It is dangerous and can result in serious injury or death. Adults should set a good example.
• Know how to use the emergency release, in case someone is pinned by the door.

Do not let children play with or use the transmitters or remote controls. Always place or store them out of the reach of children. The pushbutton wall control should be out of the reach of children (at least 5 feet from the fl oor) and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the moving garage door

Teach Your Children About Garage
Door and Opener Safety
Garage door openers are not toys. Careless operation and allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls can lead to tragic results. Discuss garage door safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.

When using the pushbutton or transmitter, keep the door in sight until it completely stops moving. Teach children never to play under or near an open garage door. Teach children to keep their hands and fingers clear of section joints, hinges, track, springs and other door parts. Contact with a moving door or its hardware could cause serious injury.
These injuries can also happen with garage doors that don’t have automatic openers.

Routine Maintenance Can Prevent

Tragedies
Take a few minutes to inspect and test your complete garage door system. Make monthly inspection
and testing a part of your regular routine. Safety is everyone’s business. Make garage door and garage door opener safety automatic in your home.

Monthly Maintenance Checklist.

• Garage Door Opener
  • Reversal Test
  • Force Setting Test
• Additional safety devices
  • Garage Door
  • Visual inspection-springs, rollers, pulleys, cables and track
  • Lubrication
  • Door balance test

Consult owner’s manual for additional recommended maintenance for your models of door and manual.

Testing and Maintaining The Garage

Door Opener
There are routine Safety and Maintenance steps that you should follow once a month. Review your owner’s manual for the door opener. If you don’t have the owner’s manual, look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit and request a manual from the manufacturer

Reversal Test
Make sure your opener has a reversing feature. If a reversing feature is not present, it should be replaced. Garage door openers manufactured after January 1, 1993 are required by federal law to have advanced safety features which comply with the latest UL 325 Standards. Contact your manufacturer or installer for additional information.

Test the Reversing Feature every month.

• First test the balance of the door (see “Testing and Maintaining the Garage Door”). If the door is properly balanced, proceed.
• With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2” thick piece of wood (a 2” x 4” laid flat) on the floor in the center of the door opening.
• Push the transmitter or wall button to close the door. The door must reverse when it strikes the wood. (Note that the bottom part of “one-piece doors” must be rigid so that the door will not close without reversing.)
• If the door does not reverse, have it repaired or replaced. Have a qualified individual adjust, repair or replace the opener or door.

Force Setting Test
Test the force setting of your garage door opener by holding the bottom of the door as it closes.
If the door does not reverse readily, the force may be excessive and need adjusting. See your owner’s manual for details on how to make the adjustment.
Test the reversing feature after any adjustment. Additional Safety Devices
Many garage door openers can be equipped with additional safety devices. Consider adding a photo eye or edge sensor as an extra measure of safety to protect against entrapment. Keep in mind that adding more safety devices will not make an old opener meet current UL Standards.

Make sure the additional safety devices, such as photo eyes or edge sensors, are properly installed and adjusted (see owner’s manual).

Testing and Maintaining The Garage

Door
Perform routine maintenance steps once a month. Review your owner’s manual for the garage door.
If you don’t have a manual, look for the model number on the back of the door, or check the lock handle, hinges or other hardware for the manufacturer’s name and request a manual from the manufacturer.

Visual Inspection
Look at the garage door springs, cables, rollers, pulleys and other door hardware for signs of wear.
If you suspect problems, have a qualified person make repairs.

WARNING – Springs are under high tension. Only qualified persons should adjust them.

Garage door springs, cables, brackets and other hardware attached to the springs, are under very
high tension and, if handled improperly, can cause serious injury. Only a qualified professional or a mechanically experienced person carefully following the manufacturer’s instructions should adjust them. The torsion springs (the springs above the door) should only be adjusted by a professional. Do not attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring (the spring along the side of the door) to help contain the spring if it breaks.

Never remove, adjust or loosen the screws on the bottom brackets of the door. These brackets are connected to the spring by the lift cable and are under extreme tension.

Lubrication
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the door. However, do not lubricate plastic parts such as plastic rollers and plastic idler bearing. Consult the door owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Door Balance
Periodically test the balance of your door.

• Start with the door closed.
• If you have a garage door opener, use the release mechanism so you can operate the door by hand when doing this test.
• You should be able to lift the door smoothly and with little resistance. It should stay open around three or four feet above the fl oor. If it does not, it is out of adjustment. Have it adjusted by a qualifi ed service person.
