Operating Instructions
The Schellenberg 60920 features automatic adjustment and easy operation with the included handheld transmitters.
- Initial Setup and Automatic Adjustment: Upon first operation, the motor adapts to your specific garage door and automatically adjusts its power settings. It performs an electronic road detection to precisely switch off the motor when the set endpoints are reached. This process may require several open/close cycles to optimize.
- Using the Handheld Transmitter: The two 4-channel handheld transmitters operate on 433 MHz. Press the designated button to open or close the garage door. Light control via the handheld transmitter is also possible.
- Soft Start/Stop: The drive incorporates soft start and soft stop functions, ensuring smooth and quiet operation while reducing wear on the door mechanism.
- Obstacle Detection: The system includes obstacle detection. If an obstruction is encountered during closing, the door will reverse to prevent damage or injury.
- LED Lighting: An economical LED lighting system is integrated into the motor head. Additional lighting can be expanded if desired.
