the garage door
BEFORE commencing the
installation!
• 50mm above the Highest Arcing Point.
• Drill 2 screw holes and use screws of at least 8mm
Dia. x 50mm long to secure Header Bracket to

5. Towing Bracket Mounting
__________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Towing Bracket Mounting

For a sectional type garage door the pivot point of
the Towing Bracket should be located approx one
third of the way down from the top edge of the top
panel.
For a tip-up type garage door the pivot point

should be as close to the top edge of the
garage door as possible.

8. Attaching Bent Towing Arm
__________________________________________________________________________________________
10. Engaging / Disengaging
Settings and adjustments
11. Door Travel Adjustment
__________________________________________________________________________________________
11. Door Travel Adjustment

• The Drive Rail mounted Limit Prongs provide
a 1 to 1 ratio between Limit Prong movement and
garage door movement
12. Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment

• ADAPTIVE MODE – constantly monitors drive force Adaptive
Mode compensates for changes by automatically adjusting
Safety Obstruction Force values during every complete cycle,
resulting in enhanced safety and minimized chances of garage
door *ghosting.
*Ghosting is defined as a Safety Stop or Safety Reverse without
the garage door actually encountering an obstruction.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

• MANUAL MODE – features conventional one time
Safety Obstruction Force value adjustment and is
more suited for use on badly worn or improperly
balanced garage doors.

– 12.1 Adaptive (A) Mode
– select Dip switch No.1 to the “ON” position
__________________________________________________________________________________________

– Functionality
– Forced Learn
– A Forced Learn may be initiated by holding down the “Learn”
Button for 2 sec – LED Indicator will begin to quick flash.
– In order to learn the required run time and drive force values
the XTrac will be required to complete 5 (manually activated)
uninterrupted open and close cycles. (commencing from the
Close Limit Point)

1. Open Stroke 1 – Alignment stroke
2. Close Stroke 1 – Learn run time
3. Open Stroke 2 – Learn run time
4. Close Stroke 2 – Learn Drive Force
5. Open Stroke 3 – Learn Drive Force
6. Once Learning has been successfully completed, the LED
Indicator will commence to slow flash.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

– Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment
– Rotate the (green) “Offset” Adjustment Pin in a clockwise
direction to increase Safety Obstruction Offset Value and in
an anti clockwise direction to decrease the value.

– Testing Open Direction Safety Obstruction Force Value
– When the garage door has opened to approx 450mm from
the ground apply some firm downward force to one of the
structural members of the garage door.
– If the Safety Obstruction Force Value is correct the XTrac
will stop (Safety Stop) the garage door upon sensing the
applied force.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

– Automatic Re-Learn
– A re-learn of Drive Force and Run Time parameters will be
automatically initiated immediately subsequent to either one
of the following occurrences;
– Run Time deviation becoming excessive
– Safety Reversing on 3 consecutive occasions
– Safety Stopping on 3 consecutive occasions
– During this period the LED Indicator will quick flash

– 12.2 Manual (M) Mode
– To enable Manual Mode;
– select Dip switch No.1 to the “OFF” position
__________________________________________________________________________________________

– Press and hold down the “Learn” Button for 2 sec - LED
Indicator will commence a paused double flash.
– Safety Obstruction Force adjustment can be carried out
while LED Indicator is “paused double flashing”
– To close out Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment Mode
momentarily press “Learn” Button.
– Note: Mode will close out automatically after 10 mins. if not
closed out manually beforehand.

– With the garage door in the fully closed position - press the
black “Run” Button so that the garage door begins
movement in the open direction.
– As the garage door is opening slowly turn the (green) Open /
Offset Adjustment Pin in an anti-clockwise direction until the
garage door stops.
– Now turn the same pin clockwise 5 degrees.
__________________________________________________________________________________________

– Testing Safety Obstruction Force – Open Direction
– Press the black “Run” Button so that the garage door begins to open.
– When the garage door has opened by approx 450mm apply some firm
downward force to one of its structural members.
– If the Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment is correct the XTrac will stop
the garage door upon sensing the applied force.
– If too little or too much force is required to make the XTrac stop - rotate
the (green) Open / Offset Adjustment Pin 5 degrees in the appropriate
direction (clockwise to increase force, anti-clockwise to decrease force)
and then repeat the previous testing steps.

– Safety Obstruction Force Adjustment – Close Direction
– With the garage door in the fully open position, press the
black “Run” Button so that the garage door begins to close.
– As the garage door is closing - slowly turn the (red) Close /
Speed Adjustment Pin in an anti-clockwise direction until the
garage door stops and begins to Safety Reverse.
– Now turn the same pin clockwise 5 degrees.
