QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • I have 4063 did not see that model number on your optical encoder. My door will not hold a program. I set it and works fine for a hour sometimes a day. The door will close and it keeps trying to push the door down bending the rail.

    Yes, the 4063 is compatible with the Optical Encoder (RPM Sensor) 39155R.S- DC Screw Drive Models and this would likely be the issue based on your symptom.

  • I have a TriloG 1500 4064. The door stops at ~4 foot on opening. I reset the limits and the door goes up and down once. At the next "open", it stops at 4 foot again. I believe it may be dust on the optical reader (I took the case off and it was VERY dusty). Can I get a copy of the optical reader install instructions so I can take it apart and clean it? If that doesn't work, I'll order a new one Thanks
