Genie Excelerator Owner's Manual - Page 21

NOTE • To protect your new investment, your Excelerator® is equipped with a Timer and Cycle Counter which work together to prevent any chance of heat damage to electrical circuits caused by too many cycles in too short a time. If your Opener suddenly stops responding to the Wall Console - Do Not Unplug the Unit - simply wait 10 minutes for the Timer/Cycle Counter to reset itself and try again. • Unplugging the unit will prevent the Timer/Cycle Counter from resetting.
