NX remote opener problems. I've been using it for about a year.
The symptoms are:
It works fine to open it once. Closing might work, 50/50. and so on until it finally gets stuck open or closed. I then have to go back and take it off, and manually do it.
Trying to open and close it back to back will most likely not work. If it does work the next time won't.
Do I have a bad one. I called NX and they said to take apart the opener, throw it in a vice and adjust the nut. For the money I paid for it, it doesn't seem to work very well. Could it be that my bottle valve is sticky?

Is this an NX bottle valve, is so which one?
The best part about this unit is you can adjust the clutch if need be, so if installation is correct, and since the valve is sticking in both directions. I would open the bottle to the mid point, then set the clutch 1/4 turn tighter. Normally the clutches are set a little tight at the factor, and you have to lossen them, but that would be a closed and not open problem...
If someone else's vavle you just have to play it tell its right.
One final note, you can send your NX bottle or valve in with the opener for testing.
