NOTICE
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ITS
USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE
EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING,
MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE
EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT
USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER THAN
ITS INTENDED PURPOSE - OPERATING
OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS.
STANDARD FEATURES:
Sensing System:
A built-in sensing system detects
obstructions during door operation. If in the downward (close)
travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse
the direction of the door. In the open mode, the Opener will
stop. Since all doors are different, the Sensing System has
independent adjustments for customizing the level of force
required for the normal opening and closing of specified doors.
( Page 18)
Close Limit Switch:
In winter months it's common for
small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the
door. Ground swelling can also effect the close limit setting of
the Opener. The 6000 Series Close Limit Switch overrides the
Sensing System during the last one inch of closing travel and
prevents the door from reversing if it encounters an obstruction
at this point.
Alternating Action Operation:
The mechanical wall
pushbutton functions in an Open/Stop/Close/Stop & Reverse
mode in normal operation. (Page 16)
Emergency Release:
A pull cord allows separation of the
drive mechanism and manual operation of the door when
desired, as in the event of a power failure. (Page 11)
Automatic Reconnection:
Once power is restored, or
automatic operation of the door is again desired, initiating
operation in the normal manner (Push Button, Radio Control,
etc.) will effect automatic reconnection of the Emergency
Release Mechanism. (Page 11)
Connections For Continuously Monitored Auxiliary
Entrapment Protection Devices:
The 6000 Series
All-Clear™ Photosystem (light beam across the door
opening) can be easily connected to the Opener. Control
circuitry monitors the device continuously for proper
operation. (Page 20) Consult the factory for
compatibility of other auxiliary entrapment protection
devices.
Constant Contact To Close:
For utmost safety, the
standard operation mode requires constant contact on the
mechanical Push Button to close the door if an Auxiliary
Entrapment Protection Device (see above) IS NOT
installed or if the Device fails. In this mode of
operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to close
the door. (Page 13 & 14)
Momentary Contact To Close:
After installing an
All-Clear™ Photosystem Auxiliary Entrapment
Protection Device the close operation mode is
automatically converted to momentary contact of the
mechanical Push Button, and a portable Radio
Transmitter can be used to close the door. (Page

A
ll-Clear™ Photosystem:
An invisible infrared
beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a
downward moving door if the beam is broken by a
stationary or moving object. The 6000 Series motor
control circuitry constantly monitors the All-Clear
Photosystem for proper operation.
OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Digital Radio Controls:
The 6000 Series Openers
covered in this Manual can be fitted with optional Radio
Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily
selected without use of tools. (Page

Super Station (Deluxe Wall Push Button):
A
feature-packed accessory unit, the Super Station allows
access to all of the Opener's functions. Independent
Open, Close, and Stop buttons permits full control of the
door’s operation. The Opener's built-in light can be
turned on or off independent of door operation. A
Security Switch allows the Opener to be deactivated for
extended periods of time. A Security Disable switch is
provided if the garage door is the only entryway into the
garage. Lighted Push Buttons enhance nighttime use.
(Page 16)
Keyless Entry System:
A tamper resistant outdoor
keypad, the optional Keyless Entry System permits entry
to the garage without use of key or radio transmitter.
Easily programmable, it accommodates four separate
access codes of 4 digits. Lighted Buttons enhance
nighttime use.
