This preset function can be adjusted once the motor is programmed and in user mode. Obstacle detection can be changed to be more sensitive than the default setting or deactivated.

Maestria is designed for all types of exterior screens, however some functions, like obstacle detection, are available for zip screens only. Any screen with a heavy load bar and a physical stop at the upper end limit is considered a zip screen.

Before we begin, please remember that all button presses must be completed within two seconds apart or the motor will exit the setting mode.
