STANDARD FEATURES: 
Digital Radio Controls:

  This opener is equipped 

with a pre-programmed transmitter to one of over 

nineteen thousand private codes. The transmitter can 

be re-programmed  without difficulty using the 

external operation buttons.  The power head is easily 

programmed to accept the transmitter signal.

Safe Finish™ 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 opener’s motor 

control circuitry constantly monitors the Safe Finish 

Photosystem for proper operation.  

Alternating Action Operation:

  The mechanical wall 

push button functions in an Open/Stop/Close/Stop-

Reverse to Open mode in normal operation.  (Page 15) 

Manual 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 9) 

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 Manual Release Mechanism.  (Page 9) 

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 16) 

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 opener’s 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. 

Constant Contact To Close:

  For utmost safety and 

security, the standard operation mode requires constant 

contact on the mechanical Push Button to close the door 

if the Safe Finish™ Photosystem  becomes misaligned or 

if there is an irregularity in the wiring to the device.  In 

this mode of operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be 

used to close the door. (Page 18) 

 

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

 

 

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 a four digit PIN 

code (10,000 possible codes).  Lighted Buttons enhance 

nighttime use.
