OPERATION AND CARE OR YOUR OPENER

OPERATION OF YOUR OPENER

Your opener can be activated by any of the following devices:

•  Opener Control Panel:

 UP & DOWN buttons, and 

O.S.C. control button.

• Transmitter:

 hold the button down until the door starts to 

move.

•  Wireless Entry Keypad:

 This is an accessory that opens 

the door using a four digit keycode.

When the opener is activated:

•  If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will open.
•  If closing, the door will stop.
•  If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry and 

exit of pets and for ventilation).

•  If the door has been stopped in a partially open or closed 

position, it will reverse direction.

Obstruction behaviour:

•  If an obstruction is encountered while closing, the door 

will reverse to the fully open position.

•  If an obstruction is encountered while opening, the door 

will stop and briefly reverse.

•  The Protector SystemTM (IR Beams) use an invisible 

beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a 

closing door to open and prevents an open door from 

closing. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED for 

homeowners with young children or pets.

 

Opening the door manually:

The door can be opened manually by pulling the release cord 

down firmly. 

To re-engage the door, pull the release cord down firmly.

The opener lights will turn on under the following 

conditions:

 

when the opener is initially plugged in; when power is restored 

after interruption or when the opener is activated.

The opener 

light will turn on for 3 minutes when the opener is 

activated.

When releasing the door, the door should be 

fully closed if possible. Weak or broken 

springs could allow an open door to fall 

rapidly. Property damage or serious injury 

could result.

CARE OF YOUR OPENER

MAINTENANCE OR YOUR OPENER

When properly installed, your opener will operate with minimal 

maintenance. The opener does not require additional 

lubrication.

Limit and Force Settings:

 These settings must be checked 

and properly set when the opener is installed. Weather 

conditions may cause some minor changes in the door 

operation, requiring some re-adjustments, particularly during 

the first year of operation. Refer to limit and force setting in 

Section 14.

Follow the instructions carefully and repeat the safety 

reverse test after any adjustment.
Transmitter:

 Additional transmitters can be purchased at any 

time. Refer to chamberlaindiy.com.au or chamberlaindiy.co.nz 

for compatible transmitters. Any new transmitters must be 

programmed into the opener.

Transmitter battery:

 If the transmission range decreases, 

replace the battery.

Once a Month:

•  Repeat the safety reverse test (see Section 15). Make 

any necessary adjustments.

•  Manually operate the door. If it is unbalanced or binding, 

call for professional garage door service.

•  Check to be sure that the door opens and closes fully. 

Set the limits and/or force if necessary.
