I’m trying to use a genie 1055 garage opener to operate a hand winch that opens a large hangar door. I’m having trouble setting the limits(closed and open positions) since the opener is running the winch it does need to run for a longer period for the door to open and close. It’ll let me run the door all the way up and down when trying to set the limits but won’t save the positions and fails to set limits. Any ideas? Would this many rotations be out of the encoders range possibly? Any information would be helpful By the way great video!
Hey Jonas, Thanks so much for reaching out. For obvious reasons we can’t speak to how Genie designed the limits on this garage opener. What we would recommend is that you call them to get clarification on what you are experiencing. We found their customer service phone number: 800-843-4084 Encoders can be (but not always) used in applications like this to control the travel positions. As you pointed out, Genie could have limits for the opener based on the run time or a variety of other factors, we just can’t say. Sorry that isn’t a definitive answer to your question but we hope that is at least provides you with some direction towards an answer.
@@usdigitalencoders thanks for the reply! That helps. I did talk with them, they said that there is no limit on the door height but it seems otherwise. I’ll look for another opener. Keep up with the great videos. You guys do a great job.
Gotta love this short. Even with an engineer's mind (like mine) or zero engineering skills at all (like my wife's) these are very clear definitions and real world examples, bravo US Digital Encoder Support, Ace!
Right. Those are the same distance, if you need to be more granular than a kilometer, it makes sense to break things down into meters. If you don't need to be that granular, it may make sense to keep it in kilometers.
Why is this channel very underated
It's because many people haven't seen it, it's my first time seeing this channel

Thank you for the support. We're just getting started so stay tuned!
is it correct to say that the difference between higher and lower resolution is like the difference between a 1000 meters and a kilometer
Right. Those are the same distance, if you need to be more granular than a kilometer, it makes sense to break things down into meters. If you don't need to be that granular, it may make sense to keep it in kilometers.
