4.1 Remote Control Pairing

To pair additional remote controls or re-pair existing ones, follow the programming sequence outlined in the full manual. Typically, this involves pressing a programming button on the motor unit and then a button on the remote control.

4.2 Opening and Closing the Door

Press the designated button on your remote control to open or close the garage door. The system will automatically slow down at the end of its travel for smooth stopping.

4.3 Obstacle Detection

The system is equipped with obstacle detection. If an obstacle is detected during closing, the door will stop and reverse to prevent damage or injury. This feature is active only during the closing cycle.

4.4 Manual Disengagement (Manual Clutch)

In case of a power outage or malfunction, you can manually disengage the garage door opener from the door. Locate the manual release handle (usually a red cord) on the motor unit and pull it to disconnect the door from the drive mechanism. This allows you to open or close the door by hand.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Avidsen STROMMA 800 garage door opener. Perform these checks periodically:

• Monthly: Inspect the garage door's balance and smooth operation. Lubricate moving parts of the door (rollers, hinges, springs) as recommended by the door manufacturer.
• Quarterly: Check the chain tension. Adjust if necessary to prevent sagging or excessive tightness.
• Annually: Test the obstacle detection system by placing a small object (e.g., a cardboard box) in the door's path during closing. The door should reverse upon contact.
• Keep the rail and motor unit clean and free from debris.
