Hi
Fitting a new Henderson Ultra S motor to a 1986 Henderson Double Doric door. Fitting the thing no problem. Programming it proving troublesome. And yes, I have RTFM.
Pressing the relevant buttons on the remote adjusts the door to the OPEN position which is then memorised with another button. You then put the remote down and let the door perform its opening and closing routine and if all is OK the courtesy light stops flashing. So far, so good. Unfortunately, when in the closed position the middle of the door is bowed out by the motor connecting arm and the whole lot is under quite a bit of tension. Not right. Got onto the supplier and they said I needed a wooden weather strip on the top of the door so that the motor would have something solid to judge the end position. This defies logic as surely the track wheels coming to the end of their travel perform the same function. However, I then clamped two steel plates either side of the connector on the top of the door to test the theory, re-programmed the motor and sent it on its way. It bounced off the stops and came straight back again, frightened and very slowly and continued to do the same thing when out of programming mode.
Before I get on the phone again can somebody out there give me an explanation of how a garage closer judges the END position of travel.
Thanks
Andy
