Congratulations on your purchase of Skylink Garage Door Opener, IQ series, a garage door
opener with many innovative features. Features include extremely quiet operation with DC
motor; automatic force adjustment so the door can be closed with just the right amount of
force, not overpowered; state of the art safety reversal systems that protect your family and
property near the door.
This documentation provided with your opener has been carefully designed and organized to
make the assembly, operation and continued maintenance of your product as easy and safe
as possible, provided it is installed, operated, maintained and tested in strict accordance with
the instructions and warnings contained in this manual. Read and follow all guidelines and
operating instructions before the first use of this product. Store the manual in a safe, easily
accessible location.
Check the following items before assembling the opener:
· Identify the door type, 1) Sectional Door or 2) One-piece Door
· Ensure your garage door is balanced and is not sticking or binding.
· Here is how to check the door balance:
· From outside the garage, slowly open the door all the way and close it all the way,
DOOR SHOULD NOT BIND OR RUB;
· Raise the door halfway up, DOOR SHOULD STAY IN PLACE, SUPPORTED
ENTIRELY BY ITS SPRING
· IMPORTANT: IF THE GARAGE DOOR FAILS EITHER OF THESE TESTS, HAVE A
QUALIFIED GARAGE DOOR PROFESSIONAL ADJUST OR REPAIR THE DOOR
· If door is lightweight (made with frame and skin not solid), door (including door frame)
must be braced or reinforced before installing the opener. Check with the garage door
manufacturer or a qualified garage door service professional for a door reinforcement kit.
· If you do not have an access door in addition to the garage door, you should install an
emergency key release kit
· If your door is more than 7 feet high, you will need a rail extension kit (purchased
separately).
· With the garage door closed, check alignment of door and garage floor. The gap, if any,
should be no more than ¼”. If the gap is larger than this, repair floor or door before
installing opener.

Important Information: The safety beam sensor can detect obstacle in the
path of its invisible beam. When the beam is obstructed while the door is
closing, the door will stop immediately and reverse to the fully open position,
and the opener lights will flash. It is important to ensure the invisible infrared
beam must be unobstructed by any part of the garage door, door tracks,
other hardware or objects near the garage door.
The unit has red LED is the transmitting
sensor. The unit has green LED is the
receiving sensor. Avoid sun light shinning
directly into the receiving sensor.
Note: Receiving sensor has
a label marking “Receive”
on the wire.
Follow the same procedure to
install the sensor on the other
track. Ensure they are on the
same level facing each other.

the chain traveler while adjusting the travel limits.
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
- The door will move during the travel limits adjustment,
stay clear of the opener's chain, door and all other
moving parts
- Safety reversal system must be tested every month
- After adjusting the travel limits, user must allow the
door to operate one complete cycle in order to allow
the opener to re-adjust the opening and closing force
- After any adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system must be tested. Door must reverse on contact
with one-inch high object (or 2 X 4 laid flat) on the floor.
