Install this accessory for all installations where the closing force as measured on the bottom of the door is over
400N (40kgf), or if the door exceeds a mass of 130kg.
After the opener has been installed and adjusted, the Protector System™ accessory can be installed.
Instructions are included with this accessory.
The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a small child or animal being
trapped under a garage door. It uses an infra-red beam, which when broken by an obstruction, causes a
closing door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is strongly recommended for homeowners
with young children.
NOTE: The opener will automatically detect the Protector System
TM
when it is installed and operating
for 5 minutes (during this time the beams must remain unobstructed). The opener will not close unless
the beams are aligned.

SAFETY FIRST!
Whilst Chamberlain have engineered safety features into your garage door opener, we urge you to consider
fitting IR Beams to your new garage door opener. In many countries these devices are compulsory to prevent
serious injury or property damage. For your own peace of mind and the safety of others please install this
inexpensive safety device.
