TM

Vertical

When the sensor is in vertical position,
the receiver will not beep.

When the sensor is in horizontal position, the
receiver will beep and a zone LED will flash.

If the sensor is face up in the vertical position, the control panel will not
beep, indicating the sensor is in a closed position.

If the sensor is face down in the horizontal position, the control panel will
beep and a zone LED will flash to indicate a door is open.

You can change the orientation of the sensor and you should see the
change in response of the receiver. If the sensor and receiver are
working properly in close proximity, you can now begin to install the
sensor onto your garage door.

NOTE: It is normal to hear a rattle from the sensor when tilted or
rotated to another position.

The control panel will announce the sensor's status, such as "Zone 1
Sensor 1 Triggered", and corresponding zone LED will flash and buzzer
will beep. If the magnetic contact is closed, the beeping will stop.

3. INSTALLATION

Unplug the power cord of your garage door opener

WARNING

before installation to ensure power is not connected.

Attached the sensor to the garage door with double-sided foam tape if the
surface of your garage door is smooth and clean enough to provide a
good adhesive surface, such surface can usually be found on a metal
garage door. Please ensure the surface is smooth and clean.

For wooden garage doors, it is recommended to use the mounting plate
and screws as well.

1. The zone LED of the failed sensor will be on steadily;

2. Voice announcement “zone X sensor Y failure” will be played.
When sensor failure occurs, try the following:

1. Check if the sensor is located at where it should be, and whether there
is any physical damage to the sensor.

2. If the failed sensor is not physically damaged, try to activate the sensor
and see if the control panel reacts to such activation.

3. If not, try to remove the sensor from its location, and bring it closer to
control panel and activate the sensor. It is possible that the sensor is
installed too far from the control panel and it cannot establish a steady
communication with the control panel. If this is the case, please install
the sensor closer to the control panel.

Sensor Low Battery

Depending on the operating condition and environment, the battery life
is approximately 2 years.

When the sensor is running low in battery, the sensor will send a wire­less low battery signal to the control panel. The zone LED representing
that sensor will be on steadily, indicating sensor(s) in that zone is in
trouble condition. Control Panel will also have an announcement to advise
the user the trouble condition is low battery, such as “zone X sensor Y
low battery”, where X and Y represent the zone and sensor number.
Please replace the battery of that sensor.
