Questions and answers
Limit switch is malfunctioning
To fix a malfunctioning limit switch on a Nice Apollo 1500:
1. Check the limit switch wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly connected.
2. Adjust the limit screw:
- For more extension: turn the limit screw counterclockwise.
- For less extension: turn the limit screw clockwise.
- For more retraction: turn the limit screw clockwise.
- For less retraction: turn the limit screw counterclockwise.
3. Hold the LED enable button while adjusting and watch for the MASTER OPEN limit LED to illuminate.
4. Do not overextend the extension tube beyond 66 inches to avoid unscrewing it from the drive screw.
If the problem persists, inspect the switch for physical damage and replace it if necessary.
