Re: How do I bypass my Genie Grage door Safety Sen
on the ones here, if the Dog/child sencor is blocked or out of operation, you just HOLD the direct wired button down, and it will move anyways.
if its the "how much Force" is required to move the door up and down, i love to set those REALLY low. its bad enough if a door ever came down on a human, but with the motor adding to it too.
the Force things, if they start acting funkey, its better to LUBRICATE, and clean, and straighten the rails then to adjust the force.
most of them the force is easily adjustable, just get up next to or INSIDE the case.
the force sencors, determine how much work the motor is having to do, when the door is going up or down. that way it can detect interferance in the movement of the door.
a loose chain, a loose rail, dirt, dust, unlubricated rail wheels, increase the ammount of force needed, and unduley wear on the motor and parts.
on the wood doors, the HUGE spring gets weakened over time. replacing the spring, makes the whole thing work better. also the armature and other stuff can get weak, or the hinging stuff is not connected well to the sides. replace any nails with real screws, tighten stuff up, test manually as to how much force is required to motivate, and analize what is causing the interfearance to easy movements.
anything else your going to need to tell better what is actually wrong, there are many "sencors"
if all else fails, wonder about how hard it is to , pull the disconnect, move 4 feet out of car, and pull on door /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
i have them now, and still dont think they are nessisary.
