Programming Overview

NOTE: Before programming the operator, check to make sure there are no objects in the garage door opening.
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 the 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, wall console, 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.

genie_garage_door_opener_7055_-programming_overview.png


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.

genie_garage_door_opener_7055_-orientation.png


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 Information

TRAVEL LIMITS

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.
  • DO NOT set limits with Battery Backup attached. AC power MUST be connected to the opener while setting limits for proper operation.

NOTE: If turnbuckle has NOT been engaged to carriage, do so now.  
Before setting limits: Confirm wall console red indicator  
backlight is ON. If not illuminated, See page 19 for troubleshooting. Check STB LED’s: Confirm both LED’s are Illuminated solid. If not Illuminated solid, see page 18 for troubleshooting.
Closing Garage Door (Down Limit)
NOTE: Beginning with garage door in mid travel is recommended but not necessary.

  1. Lift door by hand until carriage engages the turnbuckle on the chain/belt.

    genie_garage_door_opener_7055_-contact_reverse_test.png
  13. Close the garage door using the Open/Close button on the wall control. When the door contacts the board, it should stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds to the fully open position. Long LED light on the powerhead will begin to flash RED with the reversal of the door. Remove the 2" x 4" board after a successful contact reversal test. The next cycle will clear the flashing red LEDs.

    genie_garage_door_opener_contact_reverse_test_7055.png

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 (page 6) to make certain the door is closing tight against the floor.
  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. (Pages 14-18).

Maintenance and Adjustments

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING

  1. NEVER let children operate or play with the door controls.
  2. Keep remote away from children.
  3. ALWAYS keep the moving door in sight and away from people and objects until door is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
  4. NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.
  5. Test opener monthly. The door MUST reverse on contact with a 1-1/2” high object (or 2” x 4” board laid flat) at the center of the doorway on the floor. After adjusting either the force or limit of travel, retest door opener. Failure to adjust the opener properly may cause severe injury or death.
  6. When possible, use emergency release only when door is closed. Use caution when using this release with the door open. Weak or broken springs are capable of increasing the rate of door closing and increasing the risk of severe injury or death.
  7. KEEP DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See your garage door Owner’s Manual. An improperly balanced door increases the risk of severe injury or death. Have a trained door system technician make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and other hardware.

WARNING

  • Garage door hardware (springs, cables, brackets, pulleys, etc.) are under extreme pressure and tension.
  • DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust door springs or any hardware, and DO NOT OPERATE garage door automatically or manually if door is improperly balanced or springs are broken.
  • CONTACT A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN.

Regular Maintenance
Basic monthly maintenance tasks include

  • Contact Reverse Test
  • Lubricate door hardware
  • Safe-T-BeamSystem check
  • Door balance
  • Remote Battery Replacement (As needed)
  • Light Bulb Replacement (As needed)
  • Chain/Belt Tension

Contact Reverse Test

Lubricate Door Hardware
Inspect door rollers and hinges and lubricate as needed using a  light weight general purpose grease.

Safe-T-Beam(STB) System Check
Check that both the RED and GREEN LEDs are ON steady. This indicates the system is working properly. If both LEDs are not ON steady, check the appropriate items below

  • STB red LED flashes. 
    • Check for obstruction. 
    • Check alignment. (See page 18) 
    • Verify wire routing from STBs to STB connection in powerhead 
    • Check for signal interference from another Safe-T-Beam® unit (for multiple door installations).
  • No STB red or green LED displayed. 
    • Check wiring and wire connections

If system appears to be working properly, perform check as follows

  1. Start the door closing.
  2. Pass an object through the beam. The door should stop and reverse to the fully open position.

Door Balance (Spring Tension)
Perform the check as follows:

  • With the door closed, pull manual emergency release handle DOWN and away from door and let go to disengage the carriage from the drive chain or belt (see illustration).

    genie_garage_door_opener_7055_-door_balance.png
  • Raise and lower the door manually — it should move freely and smoothly.
  • Raise door manually about 3’ to 4’ feet and let go.

    genie_garage_door_opener_7055_-door_balance.png
    • Door should remain stationary or move very slowly. 
    • If door moves quickly, CONTACT A TRAINED DOOR SYSTEM TECHNICIAN to have your door springs serviced.
  • Close the door.
  • Place the carriage in the “engage” position (see illustration).
  • Operate door using remote or wall control. The carriage will reattach itself to the drive chain/belt.
