Wiśniowski Optimum Drive: Garage Door Stopping, Speed Reduction, Full Gate Opening Guide

Question

The Wiśniowski Optimum drive mounted to the garage door has been stopping for some time. I have to close the gate again and open it again, in most cases the entire gate opens. From half the opening the opening speed drops by 2 times goes very slowly. How to make the whole gate open like new from...

If the problem occurs again, check the entire power path on the guide and the power transfer points to the machine. Clean with a contact cleaner. Maybe at some points there is a power outage ...

And unplug the drive from the gate and go empty - if there are miracles then at least you will exclude the gate itself (maybe, as I wrote earlier - broken spiral cable, crazy ends etc.).

Maybe the mechanism guide is already dirty, the machine has a hard time and reacts to overloading, so it turns off.

PS. in the manual there is how you need to enter the options and re-program the opening and closing points, but first check the guide and rollers at the machine - I had similar behavior and one of the rollers came loose (unscrewed)

I checked the guide is clean and everything is tightened, maybe it is the fault of the gate (springs) that have not been lubricated since new (i.e. 3 years).

madamsz1 · Answer

From the top of the machine there are such small wheels and they like to loosen, if they are well fastened and everything is quite loose, then change the drive power and check what happens. I have never lubricated the springs

. Once a year, I clean the guide bar with extraction gasoline and then gently lubricate it here and there. I have such a drive probably since 2008 and the only failure is a lowered wheel and the more serious is the broken control and power cable (twisted pair), which sometimes caused the button mounted in the wall box to fail

Examine the cable carefully - damaged gives sometimes strange gate behavior.

RomanoMorawiano · Answer

Lubrication of the door springs and hinges helped.

Marek J. · Answer

This may be a temporary solution. Check gate balance (spring tension). A properly balanced gate should open as lightly as it closes, and set in half should not have a tendency to fall or spontaneous lifting (of course with the drive disconnected).

RomanoMorawiano · Answer

Marek J you were right, again the drive goes crazy and despite the adjustment with the red potentiometer it does not open every time to the end but only becomes like in the film and photos. How do you adjust the springs?

RomanoMorawiano · Answer

Set in half, there is no tendency to fall, lifting, so probably the tension of the springs is ok. I lubricated the springs and rollers again and now works again.

RomanoMorawiano · Answer

The problem returned, I unplugged the drive and the gate goes empty without obstacles. The problem with the gate opening completely when it opened, was struck by lightning in the house 2 weeks ago, which also burned the gate plate of the drive gate, Faac in the fence, intercom, alarm, and partly lighting in the garage. Maybe here is the problem that once works and once does not, earlier it opened hard but did not stop, probably it helped lubrication of hinges and springs, but now it's probably something with electrics.

RomanoMorawiano · Answer

I called the service, the solution was to adjust the spring tension.
