2. SET UP THE GARAGE DOOR MONITORTM SENSOR

1. CODE CONNECTORS

In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the
sensor’s code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1
to 6 can be found by opening the top cover of the sensor and the back
cover of the receiver. User is required to set these code connectors
randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver must be the
same. Each position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-” or “0”
position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code connectors
properly. If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that
column is set on “ + ”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom
posts, that column is set on “ - ”. If the connector is removed completely,
(not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for examples of
how to set a column to the three different positions).

Note: A connector can
