Initial Sizing Cycle
When activated for the first time after power-up, the Benchmark operator automatically performs a sizing cycle.
Sizing Cycle Process
- Door opens.
- Door closes.
- Operator learns door characteristics.
- System stores operating parameters.
After the sizing cycle is complete, the operator is ready for normal operation.
Operational Verification
Following installation, several checks should be performed:
Verify
- Door moves freely without binding
- Electric locks release properly
- Activation devices function correctly
- Safety devices operate correctly
- Door remains open while activation signal is maintained
- Door closes smoothly and securely
If the door does not fully open, backcheck speed adjustments may be required.
Operator Adjustments
The Benchmark operator includes multiple field-adjustable settings.
Opening Speed (P1)
Controls how quickly the door opens.
Direction | Result |
Counterclockwise | Slower |
Clockwise | Faster |
Backcheck Speed (P2)
Controls door speed near the fully open position to prevent impact and reduce wear.
Direction | Result |
Counterclockwise | Slower |
Clockwise | Faster |
Hold-Open Time Delay (P3)
Determines how long the door remains open after activation.
Adjustment Range
- Minimum: 1 second
- Maximum: 30 seconds
Backcheck Position (P4)
Determines the point at which the door begins slowing as it approaches full open.
Direction | Result |
Counterclockwise | Less Backcheck |
Clockwise | More Backcheck |
Latch Position (P5)
Controls where the door begins slowing as it approaches the closed position.
Direction | Result |
Counterclockwise | Less Latch |
Clockwise | More Latch |
Closing Speed (P6)
Controls how quickly the door closes.
Direction | Result |
Counterclockwise | Slower |
Clockwise | Faster |
