WARNING
• Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children)
could be seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.
FPO
SAFETY TESTS
Test Safety Reversal System
With the door fully open, place a 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) board (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centred under the
garage door. Close the door by pressing the button
on the wall console. After making contact with the
board, the door should stop then reverse to a fully
open position.
If the door fails to reverse:
• If the door stops on the obstruction, re-adjust the
down travel limit as it is not travelling far enough
in the down direction.
• Repeat the test until the door reverses upon striking the obstruction.
Test Safety Beam Sensor System
To test the safety beam sensor system, open the door to the fully open position.
1. Place an obstacle (such as the opener carton) to break the safety infrared beam.
2. Press the push button to close the door.
3. The door should not move more than 1” (2.5 cm), and the opener light will flash. If this does not
happen:
• Ensure the safety beam sensors are aligned properly (refer to “Install Safety Beam Sensor System”).
• Ensure the obstacle is breaking the beam by checking the receiving sensor's blue LED is off.
• If everything fails, call for a trained door systems technician.
