Possible Causes
Incomplete limit programming on CAME control unit, Force/sensitivity trimmer set too low, Door binding in tracks, Encoder miscounting travel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the moving door during tests.
Steps:
- Check door mechanics: Disconnect the operator using the manual release and move the door by hand. Correct any binding, bent tracks, or seized rollers.
- Adjust force: On the CAME board, slightly increase the force/sensitivity setting within safe limits.
- Re‑learn limits: Follow the CAME procedure to erase and reprogram the open and close limits, allowing the door to travel fully in both directions.
- Inspect encoder/limits: Ensure the encoder or limit switches are secure and not slipping.
After reprogramming, run several full cycles to confirm consistent travel.
