I don't think it is a "set-up" problem since the opener has obviously
been there for a while & one would have to assume that it probably did
work at one time so it shouldn't need to be set-up again.

For some reason the board thinks the opener is hitting an obstruction
on the way open. That is why the opener ticks, which the ticking is the
light relay clicking on & off so the light acts as a warning that
something is wrong.

There should be an up force adjustment on the board (not to be confused
w/ the up limit that controls how far the door opens). Try turning the
up force higher to see if that solves the problem. The opener should
not be used w/ this at maximum since it can cause damage if the door
should get hung up on something while opening.

However, my guess is that the board itself is defective & if that is
the case you should consider replacing it. Most Stanley parts are
obsolete (your opener is probably one of the last ones made) &
extremely difficult to locate.
