CONTROLS
Your new
garage
door opener offers momentary
control. To
operate
the door
simply
press
either the hand held transmitter
button or the wall mounted
pushbutton
for one to two seconds
and
the
door will
automatically open or close. The opener can
be
stopped
during
any
portion
of the opening or closing cycle
by
pressing
either of the buttons. The next time the button is
pressed,
the opener will re-start the door in motion in
the
opposite direction.
OBSTRUGTION SENSING
When
properly
adjusted, the
door will automatically reverse if
it
senses an obstruction during
the closing cycle. This
system
will also stop
the door if it hits an obstacle when opening.
SAFE.T.CYCLETM
This electronic system will
reverse
the door in 30 seconds or
less if the door is unable to travel to the full closed
position.
This feature
provides
automatic
reversing
should other sys-
tems fail to operate and the
door
does not fully
close.
SAFE.T.SIGNALTM
Lights will flash whenever Safety Reverse or Safe-T-Cycle
has
been activated.
FORCE ADJUSTMENTS
Independent OPEN and CLOSE dials allow
you
to select the
minimum required opening and closing force.
EMERGENCY
RELEASE
Your door
opener is
equipped with
an emergency release
device.
In the
event of a
power
failure, pull
the knob on the
pull
cord down
and slightly
to the back
(away
from door)
allowing the disconnect
to latch. This
will allow
you
to
man-
ually open or close
the door. When
power
has been restored,
gently
pull
the
disconnect cord, releasing
the traveler detent,
then
press
either
the transmitter
or
pushbutton.
The opener
will
automatically reconnect.
SAFE.T.MONITORTM
A dynamic
obstruction
detection device
that continuously
monitors
the amount
of force required to move
the
garage
door, and
automatically
adjusts the obstruction detection level
in addition
to the homeowner
adjustable force levels. This
SAFETY
SYSTEM adds
the additional level
of
protection
indicating
our commitment
to safe
garage
door operation.
