Partial Opening / Ventilation Position Error
Display shows lowercase “b”, door stops in partially open position
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Incorrect partial opening limit set, Faulty limit memory, Misuse of partial open button, Encoder miscalibration
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of the door while testing. Disconnect power before opening covers.
Step-by-step:
- Check control inputs: Ensure no external switch is wired to the partial opening input that may be stuck closed.
- Reset partial opening: Enter the programming mode and delete or re‑set the partial opening position according to the Hormann manual (often by moving the door to the desired position and storing it).
- Relearn full travel: Perform a full open/close learning cycle so the operator correctly knows the end positions.
- Test: Use the main open/close button. If the door still stops at the same partial point and “b” shows, the memory or encoder may be faulty.
