The Protector System must be used for all installations where the closing force as measured on the bottom of the door is over 400N (40kgf).

Excessive force will interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or damage the garage door.

After installation, ensure that the parts of the door do not extend over public footpaths or roads.

Disengage all existing garage door locks to avoid

damage to garage door. Install the wireless wall control (or any additional wall

control) in a location where the garage door is

visible, at a height of at least 1.5m and out of the reach of children. The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Serious personal injury from a

closing garage door may result from misuse of the opener.

Permanently fasten the Warning Label adjacent to the wall control as a reminder of safe operating procedures.

Activate opener only when the door is in full view, free of obstructions and the opener is properly adjusted. No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is in motion. Do not allow children to play near the door.

Disconnect electric power to the garage door opener before making repairs or removing covers.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

• Read these instructions carefully and follow ALL instructions carefully

• The garage door opener is designed and tested to offer reasonable safe service provided it is installed and operated in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual.

These safety alert symbols mean WARNING – a personal safety or property damage instruction. Read these instructions carefully.

Warning: If your garage has no service entrance door, a 1702E outside quick release must be installed. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage door from outside in case of power failure.

Keep garage door balanced. Do not let the garage

door opener compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Sticking or binding doors must be repaired. Garage doors, door springs, brackets and their hardware are under extreme tension and can cause serious personal injury.

Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while installing or servicing a garage door opener.

To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,

remove all ropes, chains and locks connected to the garage door before installing the door opener.

Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building and electrical codes.

The safety reverse system test is very important.

Your garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 40mm obstacle placed on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat the test once a

month and make any necessary adjustments.

This opener should not be installed in a damp or wet space.

Take care when operating the manual release since an open door may fall rapidly due to weak or broken springs, or being out of balance.

2. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the desired button on the wireless wall control or remote control that you wish to operate your garage door.

3. Release the button when the opener light blinks. It has learned the code.

Delete all Remote Control Codes

Please note this deletes all remotes and codes.

Press and hold the PURPLE learn button until the orange indicator light goes out (approximately 9 sec.).

Setting the Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down. Follow the steps below to set the limits.

Check that the opener is engaged.

To program the travel limits:

1. Press and hold the black button (3) until the orange indicator light (2) starts flashing slowly and then release. Opener lights will dim.

2. Press the BLACK button to move the door UP or the PURPLE button to move the door DOWN until the door reaches the desired UP limit.

Check to be sure the door is high enough for your vehicle. Adjust if necessary.

3. Press the green start button (4). This sets the full UP limit. The door will travel to the floor and reverse back to the UP limit. The opener has learned its travel limits.

4. The indicator light (2) will stop flashing when the limits have been learned.

NOTE: If the door presses excessively on the floor or reverses before it reaches the floor proceed to #12 of the “Troubleshooting” section page 9 and follow the instructions for setting the limits manually.

The force must be learned in order to properly complete the setting of the limits.

Manual Limit setting

With the door in the midway position.

• Press and hold the black button until the orange LED starts flashing.

• Use the black (up) and purple (down) button to set the door opening limit

• Press the Green activation button to start the door, once it starts travelling down, press either the black or purple button to engage manual limit setting.

• Use the purple and black buttons to set the closing limit.

• Test door three or four times to check limit settings.

Setting the Force

The force, as measured on the closing edge of the door, should not exceed 400N (40kgf). If the closing force is measured to more than 400N, the Protector System must be installed. See section 14.

The force setting regulates the amount of power required to open and close the door.

1. Press the purple button (1) twice to enter opener into Force Adjustment Mode. The indicator light (2) will flash quickly.

2. Press the green start button (4) on the bottom of the opener. The door will travel to the DOWN limit. Press the green start button (4) again, the door will travel to the UP limit. Press the green start button (4) again to complete the travel cycle. The indicator light (2) will stop flashing when the force has been learned.

The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and DOWN, in order for the force to be set properly. If the opener cannot open and close your door fully, inspect your door to insure that it is balanced properly and is not sticking or binding.

Testing the Safety Reverse System

The safety reverse system test is important. The garage door must reverse on contact with a 40mm obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Operate the door in the down direction. The door must

reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops on the obstruction, remove obstruction and repeat limit and force setting, sections 11 & 12, pages 6 & 7. Repeat test.

Install the Protector System

™

((

Safety Beams)

Install this accessory for all installations where the closing force as measured on the bottom of the door is over 400N (40kgf).

After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System™ accessory can be installed.

Instructions are included with this accessory.

The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a small child being caught under a garage door. It uses an invisible beam which,

when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is

strongly recommended for homeowners with young children.

Note: The opener will automatically detect the protector system when it is installed and operating for 5 minutes without the beams being obstructed. The opener will not close unless the sensors are aligned.
