Am I able to do this easier using the somlink?
@@gsxr600rafii no, this process can’t be adjusted with SOMlink.
Omg I watched so many videos to find you again. I purchased another car and couldn’t remember how to program without a handheld remote. Took me almost an hour going through videos. Thanks again this step is literally 2-5 minutes (I wrote them down this time around😂)
I guess I'll have to work on my seo. 😀 Glad you were able to find it again!
Finally!! Thanks for making it easy!!
Nice setup ✌️
Can you add a second or third code to open the same garage after successfully programmed the first code?
@@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.
One thing that also helps with not binding the close limit, is push the door all the way down, hold the top of the door against the opening, and set the top rollers against the wall side of the track. I've found that to help get the door fully closed without binding, and it doesn't bind the release.
Thank you. How to “D-Mode 3 button hold” saved my sanity.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Can you please do a video on how to set the open and close limits on this opener as if you just installed it and the door is perfectly balanced, because the video from Sommer on how to install the unit, doesn’t really explain what to do, much appreciated
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
Hi Roman, Thank you for the excellent video. I have 2 Sommer Synoris openers from 2013. I removed the control housing and cleaned the contacts, but this did not fix the problem. I contacted Sommer and was told there is a replacement kit with 2 contacts and a new pressure plate assembly. The older models used a long plastic pin to attach the housing to the bar. The kit is covered under the lifetime warranty and arrived quickly. Replacing the contacts (with excellent tips from your video) and installing the new pressure plate fixed my opener. A heads up to anyone with an older model. Contact Sommer directly to get your contacts and the pressure plate assembly sent for free. I initially did not read all of your responses and see you have mentioned the pressure plate, and it wasn't until I re-watched this video (after my install) that I saw you discussed the pressure plate at the very end. Wanted to make sure that your poster @greggbieber9662 and others (with an older opener) got new contacts AND the pressure plate assembly from Sommer.
How long are those push bars ?
I’m not sure exactly, but I think around 86” or 88”.
Podrían explicar en español gracias
Grazie, problema risolto grazie al tuo video👍
Great video. I have 2 Sommer openers; one 12 yrs old & the contacts started pitting about 6 yrs ago. This video would have really helped then. I smoothed the contacts with abrasive paper without taking the control housing off. A pain. New contacts are ordered & replacing will be simple. Thanks for the video.
Glad to help!
My motor has no reset buttons. What’s the process then?
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.
Thank you so much for this video. I was going crazy trying to get it to work.
Glad you got it to work!
OMG!!! Thank you so much!!!!! I’ve been insanely doing and redoing the steps in my GM owners manual, and the steps offered by Sommer, to no avail. First time with your procedure!!!
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.
Stop buying this crap. They are absolute garbage
Great! I just had to scrape my contacts as a repair to a common problem. I have bad pitting and was hoping replacement was easy. Now I con confidently proceed with purchasing a set to have on hand for the next failure.
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.
I was struggling to program home link for my cars and made up my mind to change the system. However, watching your video made it just so simple. The new cars 2022 and onwards require all three homelink buttons to be pressed together to clear off the previous codes. Did the trick for me and took less than 10 seconds to program. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the information
hmm , i did everything by the manual , but my door opens when i press just 0 (ZERO) on telecody
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
Man that’s nice.
Thank you very much for this. One of my two Sommer openers refused to open more than 6-8 inches today, so I tried your Reset Force instructions, & they worked!
thank you, sir! this is what I was looking for! setting up this sommer on a 3rd car and every time it is a puzzle, but not after your video. very few guides explain that pressing outer two erases all previously saved codes and holding three buttons enables "learning\coding" mode.
Stumbled across this video when my opener wouldn’t work. Springs were broken, causing the door to be too heavy, even in manual mode.
Very informative video - thanks you 😊
Thanks for the video Roman, I have just ordered the EVO+ with the swing door coupler for our carriage garage doors. It should show up in about a week or two so I was watching your video to get prepared for installing it. Curious why you need to add that piece to the back of the motor when using this for swing doors. Thanks again
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.
What does force reset do
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for taking your time to produce and post!
Is this changed with new SomWeb or is this a service professional only portal. I don't see any of the adjustments you show
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/.
Very cool 😎 setup
The quality of these operators is questionable, the local distributor isn't helpful ("I sold 4 of these and stopped carrying them"), and the documentation is terrible. Thank you for providing such a comprehensive and descriptive video.
👉💯👈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.
Great video! I got two of these motors and garage doors. One of them has suddenly stopped working so I have to reprogram all remotes. Garage door 1 is on the top button as yours in the video. My second door was on the button 4 at the bottom. Do I press the "RADIO" button until I get to "Channel 4" and then press the forth button?
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.
Also wanted to add my sincere thanks for this helpful video. I’ve tried and given up on these on and off for 6 years. I’m a relatively technical and handy person, and this is the only time I’ve ever been able to reproduce the programming consistently. Cheers to you my friend. I hold you in similar regard to the Dos Equis Man!❤
Ah, if only I could grow a Dos Equis beard!
The LED from radio 1 doesn't start flashing :( The code is properly installed on my Telecody+ like you explained in the video... We have the sommer S 9060 Pro+ with 868,95MHz. What am I doing worng??
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
This save me today, been fitting for 15 year but if ya don't no ya don't no. Many thanks dude 😎
So does this unit have a backlight that can be turned on? I see one in your video during setup, but the unit doesn't ever display one on mine during normal use, which makes using it a night problematic. Otherwise, excellent video--I used this to set up control on a second door, which my installer neglected to do.
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.
Great video but do you know why our garage light would start flashing after we do this?
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!!
Thank you!! You saved me so many hours!!!
Comment programmer avec les sommer qui ont que deux boutons ? Merci pour votre vidéo !
You are 10x more helpful than trying to read through the Sommer manuals (which don't cleanly address this). Thank you!
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.
Very helpful. I couldn't figure out the how or why of these. Your video made it instantly clear how they attach as well as their function.
You are The Man. I will construct a simple monument in your image in my front yard in a show of gratitude.
Couldn’t agree more!
How do you replace the battery on the keypad?
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.
Was the side mount easy to install and are you having any issues? Looking to order a Evo + 1-1/4hp opener with side mount. Please share any info thanks
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.
Excellent video...you made it look so easy. I just received my parts kit from Sommer/DirectDrive. I should mention they have truly OUTSTANDING customer service. I called about the problem I was having, the technical rep (Michael) immediately knew what my problem was and said he would send the replacement parts out immediately...and he did. I called them on Monday, got the parts on Wednesday. I was very pleased and impressed with the product knowledge of the technical representative. He owned the problem and the solution and immediately set out to get me back up and running. Silly as it sounds, my Sommer garage door opener is a source of pride for me...anytime I have people over to my home, someone will comment on how quiet it is. That coupled with the great customer service...and now this video...I think I'll continue to enjoy my garage door opener for a number of years more. Thanks again for the very helpful, informative video. Now...on to install the new parts kit!
nice job Roman
Thank you for the instruction! Do you also know how to delete the old passcode and change it to the new passcode from the keypad?
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.
cool motor, just got my dealer account with Sommer. I may start pushing these more !
Let me know if you ever need any specific videos for specific applications.
