After exiting programming, the door must carry out a full OPEN and CLOSE-operation in self- hold mode. The force monitoring is a self-learning system which is effective for an opening gap of 5 cm to 2 m (approx.). Slow progressive changes, e.g. gradual reduction of the spring torsion, are compensated automatically.
