Possible Causes
Open limit cam set too early, Incorrectly programmed open limit position, Slipping drive causing loss of reference
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Use a stable ladder and avoid working near moving parts while the opener is running.
Steps:
- Measure gap: Note how far short the door stops.
- Adjust mechanical cam: On cam‑based CAME units, rotate the open cam slightly to allow more travel, then test.
- Reprogram open limit: On electronic models, enter programming mode and reset the open limit to the fully open position.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure nothing is physically stopping the door from reaching full open.
After adjustment, run several cycles to confirm consistent full opening.
