Step 1

Set up a stepladder under the rear of the Excelerator motor. Locate the terminal block on the back of the motor assembly. The terminal block is the area where the wires for the push button and safety sensors connect to the motor. The two force adjustment screws are to the left of the terminal block. In between the terminal block and the force adjustment screw is the remote “Learn” button.

Step 2

Press and hold the “Learn” button. The LED light below the button will illuminate. When the light turns off, all codes are erased from the opener and it is ready for reset. Release the “Learn” button.

Step 3

Tap the “Learn” button with your finger. The LED light will blink.

Step 4

Press and release the button on the remote control. The LED will stay illuminated. Press and release the remote control button once more, and the LED light turns off. The Excelerator remote is now reset.
