@@gsxr600rafii no, this process can’t be adjusted with SOMlink.

I guess I'll have to work on my seo. 😀 Glad you were able to find it again!

@@Broeckietube yes, you can have up to 10 codes. The first digit of each code has to be different.

@@romantroyer5157 thanks! So just add a second code like you would program the first one?

Yes, as long as the first digit is different. You also only press and hold the M button the first time you use the keypad.

The installation video from SOMMER has the limits programming instructions for most installations starting at 7:00. I don't think I would do it any differently than it is done there. This video covers pretty much everything else for limits.

@@romantroyer5157 I feel like your video would be a lot better than the video from Sommer, because you would actually explain in detail on how to set the limits, especially the close limit

I’m not sure exactly, but I think around 86” or 88”.

Glad to help!

If you have a SOMMER motor, it has to have a reset button. If it's an evo+ or pro+ model, the reset button will be on the motor carriage circuit board--you'll have to remove the motor carriage cover. Reset instructions for those models are in section 7.14 in this manual: www.sommer.eu/SOMMER/Downloads/Montageanleitung/Garagentorantriebe/USA/evo/usa_evo-plus_46900V024_122022_0-DRE_Rev-C_US-EN.pdf.

Glad you got it to work!

I think the only difference between these instructions and the instructions at sommer-usa.com is that the delete (two-button hold) is not included on their website.

@@romantroyer5157 your procedure didn’t involve using the handheld remote, but both GM and Sommer said to use the remote to program the home link, and then Sommer expanded to say is that doesn’t work, also run your procedure using the learn button. The key is that you don’t need the remote at all. In my case that’s what was causing the problem. Just the car and the learn button and that’s it.

@@haredr6511I haven't seen any SOMMER instructions that tell you to use the handheld remote as part of the learning process. These are the instructions I was referring to in my previous comment: shop.sommer-usa.com/homelink.html.

Glad to help! If the pressure plate and contacts are installed correctly (the plastic bolt should always be discarded when the pressure plate is installed), they shouldn’t need to be replaced again.

Glad it helped!

If you want your code to start with 0, use the following steps to program the code: 1. Press P 2. Press 0 3. Press P 4. Enter your whole code starting with 0 5. Press P The two lights above the keypad should come on briefly when you hit the last P; if they don't, you're doing something wrong.

If you're using a code that does not start with 0, go the motor carriage and press and hold the red Radio button for around 15 seconds until the red CH1 light starts flashing slowly. Release the Radio button and within 30 seconds press the 0 button on your keypad and only that button will be deleted from the operator.

Thank you very much , my code starts from zero , thats why i had troubles , now i changed it and everything works fine . Thanks Roman for SUPER SPEEDY response !!!!@@romantroyer5157

That coupler has to be added as part of the system that allows the safety sensors to function in the correct direction. If you install it the way you would for a standard overhead door, the motor direction is wrong. I've explained this a bit in some of the videos where I show swing door installations.

@@romantroyer5157 Thanks and I think I get it, so your pretty much reversing the install when using this for swing doors, correct? Also and sorry for the basic questions but I can't find any real simple instructions for this online anywhere. Where do I plug in the 2 wire control cable on the wall control unit. 2 wires coming out Brown & Blue. Do they go into the GN and RT on the wall control unit? And does it matter which color goes where? Thanks again

Also on some of the instructions it tells me to modify the synoris on the carriage but switching the blue and brown cables, on my carriage I have red, black, yellow, and green wires.

@@MichaelSalois yes, you're correct about the reversed orientation of the operators on swing doors. Blue goes to gn and brown goes to rt. That's in the operator manual. Generally, the pro+ operator manual contains basic installation and programming information, and the sheet that comes with the swing door kit acts as an addendum to the manual. Also, be sure to turn DIP switch 4 on the motor carriage to the ON position before you start the programming sequence.

@@MichaelSalois you shouldn't change any of the wiring on the motor carriage. The Synoris models used a pretty different technology for door positioning than the pro+ models do.

This is changed with SOMlink, which is an installer interface tool that give technicians access to the operator software to make adjustments and view event histories, etc. SOMlink functions and SOMweb functions are not cross-compatible. SOMMER doesn't sell SOMlink on their store, but you can get it from North Shore Commercial Door if you'd like to have one: www.northshorecommercialdoor.com/sommer-somlink-s10683.html/.

👉💯👈agreed... they are not available when calling for customer support. And don't return calls after you live a message. Basically there is no customer support. The lifetime warranty is only as good as the company that is behind it. And there's nobody behind this company. Which brand has the best warranty in your opinion? I am thinking of Chamberlain or Genie. I think Genie gives lifetime warranty on motor and belt.

@@stnln2180 I had a terrific Liftmaster operator in my previous home. It had a battery backup and was quiet and quick. I recently acquired a new home with a Sommer operator and an outside remote keypad. The remote keypad has never worked, the distributor shipped a new one, and it refuses to connect. Worst of all, three companies I tried to hire to install it essentially laughed at me, citing previous experience with the company. I'll be looking to replace this system with a Liftmaster system shortly.

No, you'll want to program button 4 to channel 1. If you program it to channel 4, it will only close the door, not open it.

@@romantroyer5157 Thank you very much for this. Never got this from the instruction manual. Also thanks for such a quick answer. Much appreciated.

Ah, if only I could grow a Dos Equis beard!

I would check two things. First, make sure that when you press the last digit of your code, both lights above the keypad are coming on briefly. If only one is coming on, then the code is not correctly programmed. Second, make sure your Telecody is close to the motor carriage when you are programming it. SOMMER limits range for programming to avoid cross-programming, and I have seen instances where it wouldn't program when it is mounted to the door jamb, and I had to bring it over to the motor carriage for programming, but range was normal afterward.

Found out that I have a German version of the telecode. I need the S10212-00012 version and now I haven the S10212-00001. This one doesn’t communicate with Benelux sommer motors

Yes, they all have backlights. The easiest way to turn it on is to press one of the bottom buttons (solid dot or circle), after which the light stays on for around 30 seconds, I think.

If you have a Synoris or Direct Drive model, the light is likely flashing because the operator was accidentally reset during the Homelink training process, in which case you'll just need to run the operator a few full cycles until they stop blinking. It's also possible that the car was accidentally set to turn on the lights instead of run the door? If the Learn button is pressed twice instead of once, the button in the car will turn on and off the lights instead of operating the door.

Thank you! I think you’re right, we reset the operator. We’ll give it another shot tonight. Appreciate the quick response!!

You’re welcome, that’s why I made it. The operator manual is written for overhead doors, and the manual that comes with the swing door kit is, unfortunately, not very concise. There’s an installation video in the works from SOMMER.

Couldn’t agree more!

Remove the keypad from the holder--you'll likely have to remove the blank button and remove the screw underneath it. Then remove the eight screws in the back of the keypad to access the battery. You'll need a CR123A battery.

This one's been in for over two years, and my oldest side mounts have been in for 8+ years. There are a few things you want to be careful about in installation, such as making sure the c-clips for the pins don't catch on the rail, which can make them fall out. Also, the hinge at the bottom of the top section should be minimum 14 gauge--preferably 11 gauge--since there's a bit of additional force applied to the bottom of the top section as it transitions through the radius. Otherwise, I haven't had any problems from them.

It's very simple if the first digit of your old code and the first digit of your new code are the same (codes can vary in length, from 1 to 9 digits long). The process is P > old code > P new code > P.

@@romantroyer5157 Thank you!

@@romantroyer5157 Hi Roman, I was wondering if you know the difference between resetting a new code from the keypad and changing the old to new passcode from the keypad!

@@chaewonkim8532 when you reset the keypad, all you're doing it putting it back to the factory preset which functions as a 12-button remote, but the keypad is still connected to the operator. Usually after resetting a single button on the keypad will run the door. When you change a code (first number of new code has to be the same as the first number of the old code), the old code is gone and only the new code works.

Let me know if you ever need any specific videos for specific applications.
