We have a motorised roller-door like one of them  'ere :
www.rollergaragedoors.co.uk/roller-garage-doors/seceuroglide/

It doesn't open or close smoothly, needs the remote button repressing or
holding down throughout the process.  I think it's detecting obstruction or
resistance and auto-stopping, but the light on the control panel flashes
away with every colour of the rainbow.

I want to clean and lubricate the mechanism and then check the operation of
the automated function - little magnets on the side of the door probably
provide limit signals for the motor, maybe they're out of alignment or
something.

Anyhow, the SWS site is useless for technical info - I need a manual or a
service guide before I start pulling it to bits.   Does anyone have such a
thing, or an idea where I might be able to obtain one?

Thanks in advance!

Spiders seem to find the send/receive lens an ideal place for their
webs:-(

Mine has a control box/remote receiver combined light unit. The unit
just sends a 240v supply to the door, to make it go up or down. The
motor is what is known as a tubular one, in the centre of the door
roll. The motor includes limit stops for top and bottom, you just tweak
the up and down screws to set the point where it should stop on the way
up or down. The control unit also includes a time limit function, in
that it limits the run time of the motor. This is set to just allow
enough time for the door to run to fully closed or fully open - after
which it cuts off the motor supply.

The control box has extra connections available for optional things
like a wired up/down/stop buttons and various safety sensors. I fitted
an IR beam sensor across the door at a level to suit my cars tow ball,
to prove I had gone far enough forward to clear the door. As it was
delivered these were suitably linked out. So I suppose you could link
them out to help diagnose what the cause of the problem is - but I
would suggest you check whether it needs to be linked or open first.

I hadn't realised there was a battery in that little grey box but you're
right, and I now notice that the LED on the front of it doesn't illuminate
anymore.  So, off to ebay for 4x CR2016 cells, and we'll see if that makes
any difference.

It *is* a seceuroglide, so if you were able to scan the instructions and
stick 'em online or email them that would be fantastic.    I'd like to try
resetting the system, but not sure how to do this without risking losing
settings like the keyfob rolling code and ending up worse than I started!
