To protect your new investment, your Excelerator® is
equipped with a Timer and Cycle Counter which work
together to prevent any chance of heat damage to
electrical circuits caused by too many cycles in too short
a time. If your Opener suddenly stops responding to the
Wall Console - Do Not Unplug the Unit - simply wait
10 minutes for the Timer/Cycle Counter to reset itself
and try again.
•
Unplugging the unit will prevent the Timer/Cycle
Counter from resetting.
