THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM
(SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS)
When properly connected and aligned, the safety
reversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path
of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the infrared
beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will
fl ash 10 times. If the door is fully open, and the safety
reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned,
the door will not close from a remote control. However,
you can close the door if you hold the button on the door
control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The
safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
For energy effi ciency the garage door opener will enter
sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode
shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The
sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener
light bulb; as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will
turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn
on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will
not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener
has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when
the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored after
interruption, or when the garage door opener is activated.
The lights will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes.
An incandescent A19 light bulb (100 watt maximum) or
for maximum energy effi ciency a 26W (100W equivalent)
compact fl uorescent light (CFL) bulb may be used.
Light Feature
The garage door opener is equipped with an added
feature; the lights will turn on when someone enters
through the open garage door and the safety reversing
sensor infrared beam is broken. For added control over
the light bulbs on your garage door opener.
USING YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener can be activated through a
wall-mounted door control, remote control, or wireless
keyless entry. When the door is closed and the garage
door opener is activated the door will open. If the door
senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening the
door will stop. When the door is in any position other
than closed and the garage door opener is activated the
door will close. If the garage door opener senses an
obstruction while closing, the door will reverse. If the
obstruction interrupts the sensor beam the garage door
opener lights will blink 10 times. However, you can close
the door if you hold the button on the door control or
keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety
reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. The
safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned
correctly before the garage door opener will move in the
down direction.

Operation
To Open the Door Manually
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
a falling garage door:

Adjustment
Introduction
Without a properly installed safety reversal system,
persons (particularly small children) could be
SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage
door.
• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits
will interfere with proper operation of safety
reversal system.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety
reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST
reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object
(or 2x4 laid fl at) on fl oor.
To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open
door provides adequate clearance.
Your garage door opener is designed with electronic
controls to make setup and adjustments easy. The
adjustments allow you to program where the door will
stop in the open (UP) and close (DOWN) position. The
electronic controls sense the amount of force required to
open and close the door.
NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward
travel it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s
downward travel, it will reverse.
