Thank you for that video. Summary: For normal door opening you want to send signals to channel CH1 on the door. Get there by pressing the RADIO button once. The Ch1 light will show red. Then with a remote (I have 4 pearl remotes, name on back) press on one remote button that you want to use for open/close operations on this door. The CH1 light will flash a couple of times and go out. That button is now programmed. Repeat for other buttons or other remotes that you want to control this door. Then repeat for each other door. I have a sommer sliding gate that works the same way, Except the button initiates open and close happens automatically after 30 secs. I found a function for copying one remote's programming onto another identical remote. It worked sometimes, the rules were not very clear to me. But programming four buttons on each of four remotes to operate two doors did not take long. On each remote the middle buttons open the door, the end buttons the gate.
That’s a great video on those remotes , those motors are so quiet what brand name are they? At my home my garage door keeps opening up from someone in the neighborhood, we’ve changed codes so many times but I believe the motor is obsolete now,so I believe I have to upgrade my garage doors motor, also just throw in the ballpark price of the motor also if you can !
Thank you! These are Sommer brand. Made in Germany very nice unit. Easy to install. You can check their website for more info about them. www.sommer-usa.com/
I have the same opener, but I have a problem that the top door element isnt getting closed enough. Its like a gap of 1,5-2" on top from the door element to the wall/top gasket. Any idea how i can make the motor push the element all the way? There is no obsctructions and there isnt tension between the port engine and the port itself.
On mine the way to adjust the travel distance is all the way back there’s a grey piece about 6” long that is adjustable. I think that does for opening, I don’t recall for the down travel tho, that may be on the motor itself. I’ll check into it next week when I’m home.

Without going through the whole video, I think that’s a pretty good summary. 😁👍
@@SmartEasyDIYer It was still useful to have watched your video. I probably wrote that summary to test whether I had understood.
Thanks so much. I needed to program a second sommer remote. This video was very beneficial 👍🏻 thanks for explaining everything
You’re welcome I’m glad it helped!
Thanks. Just what I needed.
You’re welcome. I’m glad if it helps.
Thank you Just what I want to know
Awesome glad to help!

@@SmartEasyDIYer Do you know how to do a factory reset, so that it will "re-learn" force and travel?
@AbbeyRoad69147 i’ll see if I can find it in the owners manual
Thanks!

Why re there Channels 2, 3 and 4? How to use them?
I’m not sure about that actually. You’ll have to consult your owners manual for that info I think.
