IV- have been try to find an ENGLISH speaking person to show an 77 year old retired sparky hoe to change as i bought a unit the same so a big thanks to you
Thanks so much for posting this. Spent a whole day trying to get my garage door down with faulty sensors. Your video explains how to override the sensors - perfect.
Hello John Hope you can help. I have one of these roller doors, but how do you adjust the stop positions, so it does keep rotating when it hits the top or bottom?
JUST TO SAY on fitting a replacement unit to the manufacturer's instruction's they are a bit hit and miss they dont tell you about the hidden switch to left just beneath the transmitter board all you have to do is pull out seeing three pins but then putting it back so it only shows one pin at the bottom this in conjunction with the photo beam will allow the door come down in auto mode.😄
Auto close function only works after you remove the small black flat pin situated in top left corner inside unit Removed it will then work automatically up and down as opposed to only up
I've just changed my NECO TR4 remote battery, the remote light was still bright with the old, and with the new battery, but the door is not responding.
@@tombraider5010 That is great thanks. I've been trying to work this out for days. This is not mentioned on the unit's wiring instructions. I've been trying every combination of dip switch but that doesn't work. Your solution is so simple and works.
Unless you have additional safety devices fitted your not supposed to have it on one press to close as the door will not know if something is in the way, like a child or a pet - it will just keep going.
HI there, I moved into a property that has this product. I purchased EACHEN Smart Garage Door Controller for this so I could open it via my phone or Alexa. Turns out this is a multi-channel controller - and most of these smart connectors are single channel. Can you (or anyone reading) recommend a similar product I can buy to attach to this so I can achieve this? Be very grateful
Hi Paul. Phone control Sounds very interesting🤔 Unfortunately im not quite tech enough to help out here, but I hope someone reading this is. Because I want to know too👍👍
Door must have additional safeties if operation via GSM or Bluetooth is possible - you could be closing the door onto someone and not know causing entrapment/crush hazard. Most 'smart' controllers only send a pulse and as this unit is set to dead-man mode (press and hold) it would need a constant signal e.g timer relay to the down switch.
Okay...but I have also a on Board in my xk8. I dont find the instructons , to install this Gadget / both together / the original door opener + this door opener in my xk8 head Panel should be worked ! maybe there is a tutorial on how to install that? regards Udo
It's a run timer. Turn it all the way to its minimal position and you'll find that the door will only run for so long before stopping. Keep increasing the potentiometer until the door can run fully and stop on its own limit. This is an extra safety feature to help prevent the door from running too long if it ever goes past the motors limit position.
I have a key switch that currently controlls my shop shutter but I have to turn and hold the key to the right to open. How do I connect this key switch into the remote board? Thanks.
How do you get door to come down automatically .got to hold down button on remote, Done all dip switches to what instructions say but still got to hold button down , goes up fine. Or do I need a light bar , can't seem to find nothing about it, any info be good ,thanks
Unless you have additional safety devices fitted your not supposed to have it on one press to close as the door will not know if something is in the way, like a child or a pet - it will just keep going.
I'm a garage door manufacturer and installer. I'm assuming you have the additional 'light-guard' kit that goes with this controller (2 black coloured rails attached to the door tracks going into a smaller black box that is then wired into this grey controller) You can't disable this feature I'm afraid, just move whatever is in the way of the beams (the 2 black rails) or turn it off at the wall is the only suggestion sorry.
Great video, so clear to follow, sorted out my garage door, thank you.
👍
Well explained. Like you my Unit has been stopping off and on so I ordered a new one which I will fit soon after seeing your video. Many thanks.

Hello John
Hope you can help.

@@themantle3piece232yes! Same question here

All I need now is to turn my woodwork shop back into a garage and buy a roller door to go with the controller! 👍😉
Auto close function only works after you remove the small black flat pin situated in top left corner inside unit Removed it will then work automatically up and down as opposed to only up
Great job thanks, had same problem as others with faulty sensor.
Glad it helped
Brilliant my garage roller had problems : alarm going off would only go up had a quote £920 ' changed that part £60 :Brilliant cheers mate
It was nice to see this before I changed mine👍🏻
Hi - you mention it's possible to disable the dead man switch for the close function - can you let me know how to do this? Thanks
Hi mate on the motor cables the O and C, when black and brown both up&down button go down and when reversed both buttons only got up 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Very helpful, thanks.
Excellent and succinct video
Did the deadman feature restart when you stopped using the remote? 12:31
I've just changed my NECO TR4 remote battery, the remote light was still bright with the old, and with the new battery, but the door is not responding.
That sink is dodgy. We're going to start calling you Captain Hook. No Homelink programming of the onboard buttons for the XK8?
Ah Haar Capn. Never talk to a pirate about sinking😁. I don't have Homelink😔
Great video thanks. My current garage door when you oress the key fob button it closes in stages. Would fitting this new unit fix this? Thanks
Very clear thank you
You are welcome
Hi. How and where should the infrared sensors be connected? Thanks
How do you program the remote to close the door off one press instead of keeping the finger on the button to close?
Hi Lee
Turn Dip switch '3' to the off position. (deadman operation)
In the top left hand corner of the control board you will see a piece of plastic, just remove this by pulling it off. the deadman should now be off

I bought a guys smart switch that comes labelled as Neco controller but haven’t figured out how to wire it yet
So am I correct in thinking if 12v is wired to safe then this will enable one touch down disabling deadman switch for down control
hi, just wondering if you could advise how to fit a smart switch to this particular unit?
I'm looking at Tailwind and I would like to know that too.
@@ragetobe I’ve managed to make mine work remotely with googlehome and Siri etc by utilising BroadLink RM Pro universal controllers

I want to keep both remote ir controls and the key switch as a backup incase I misplace the fob in emergencies. Thanks
Cool my step dad and my mom own kba supplies
Nice
Wow Small world!👍. Great products. Thanks for watching hihello123
No problem
It’s you 👋
How come we never see you? More Molly, please.
I prefer to be behind the camera, preferably far, far away from John filming. Molly can pop in sometime and say hello 😃
@@joannedee1189 😁
How do I disable the dead man switch for the roller coming down. At the moment I have to press and hold the down button to close the shutter.
just push dip switch 3 down into the off position.
@@ToTheGarage thanks for the reply. I don’t have a dip switch on mine. Oh well, back to the drawing board for me.

Do you know how to disable the constant beep when something is in the way?
Mine doesn't have a sensor beam so I cant help on this one. Anyone else got any advice for Bickley Motorsport ?

Standing in the rain holding the down button is a bit of a silly design.
just push dip switch 3 down into the off position to disable deadman operation
Where can I find the dip switch button? thanks
@@blaze8968 He shows you in the video, its on the motherboard of the unit, 4 switches.
Do you have any mates?
