OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION OF YOUR OPENER
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE OPENER
Never let children operate or play with the door controls. Keep Remote Control Away for Children.
Use any of the following devices:
1. The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold the push button down until the door starts to move, then release button.
2. The Door Control Button. Momentary push of the button until the door starts to move. Constant push of the button until the
door is closed is required if light flashes.
3. An Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry System (
if you have installed either of these options, see Mfg’s instructions
).
HOW THE DOOR MOVES WHEN THE OPENER IS ACTIVATED
Always keep moving door in sight and away from people and objects until it is completely closed
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING DOOR.
IF THE DOOR IS...
...FULLY OPEN,
then pushing the standard wall Push Button or the radio control will cause the door to begin
MOVING
DOWNWARD.
...FULLY CLOSED,
then pushing the wall Push Button or the radio control will cause the door to begin
MOVING UPWARD.
...MOVING UPWARD,
then pushing the wall Push Button will cause the door to
STOP.
The next push of the wall button will cause
the door to begin
MOVING DOWNWARD (Alternate Action Operation).
...MOVING DOWNWARD,
then pushing the wall Push Button or the radio control will cause the door to
STOP.
The next activation
will cause the door to
BEGIN MOVING UPWARD.
...MOVING DOWNWARD
and an obstruction is encountered, the door will
STOP, PAUSE AND REVERSE TO THE OPEN
DIRECTION.
...MOVING UPWARD
and an obstruction is encountered, the door will
STOP
. The next activation will
CLOSE
the door.
The SAFE FINISH PHOTOELECTRIC uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing door to open
and prevents an open door from closing.
HOW THE LIGHT WORKS AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN IT FLASHES
1. The convenience light automatically turns on when the opener is activated and remains on for 4-1/2 minutes for your convenience
and safety.
2. The light will flash after coming upon an obstruction in the down direction to alert you of a problem. It will continue to flash for
4-1/2 minutes, then shut off.
3. Optional Wall Station adds the convenience of allowing the light to be turned on and stay on until turned off by a second push of
the button or
activation of door cycle.
If the light begins to flash and the door does not move in the close direction from a push button or radio, the
external safety device (Safe Finish Photoelectric) is activated or defective (misaligned or blocked etc.). To
temporarily override and close door, activate pushbutton or wall station for 2 seconds; opener will begin moving
in the down direction. The button must remain depressed until the cycle is completed. If the button is released
before cycle is completed, the door will reverse and come to a fully open position.
Problems with the safety system
should be inspected by a professional garage door installer.
