Delay Time
to the value from Table 1.

E)
Holding the Remote Control about 30cm (1foot) away from Protectrix,

light goes out on Protectrix (less than 20seconds).
F)
Run Test 1 below
Test 1)
Pressing the test button on the front of Protectrix™ should open and
close your garage door. Try 5 times, if this does not occur each time, either a)
the remote has not been programmed correctly (repeat step 1), b) your opener
is not supported, c) the remote lock switch is on (this may be next to the
switch you use to open your garage door from inside your garage).
Step 2 – Install
a)
Pick an area on the upper part of the Garage Door as shown in Diagram B
to install Protectrix.
Diagram B: Installation location of Protectrix
b)
Secure Protectrix to the garage door; screw the back half of the case to the
garage door with two screws. If
you do not want to use screws, you
can use double-sided tape and
apply it to the back of Protectrix
then stick Protectrix to the garage
door but ensure that the double-
sided tape is securely attached to
the garage door (see below
Caution).
Caution! If Protectrix™ falls or releases from the garage door, Protectrix™
may inadvertently open the garage door, or never try to close the garage
door. Ensure Protectrix™ is firmly attached!
Test 2)
Set the Delay Time to tst (1 minute) and leave your garage door
open. If the unit is not mounted to the garage door, the Protectrix unit must
face down for the timer to start the countdown!
An alarm (blinking light and beeping sound) will start after 1 minute; the
alarm will continue for 30 seconds, then the garage door should close. If the
garage door does not close retry Test 1 again.
Warning! Test that Protectrix works on your garage door before depending
on it, not testing it could mean your garage door will never close
automatically.
Step 3 – Adjust Delay Time
On the front of Protectrix turn
the knob to the desired number
of minutes that you would like
Protectrix to wait before trying
to close the garage door.
If you select 5m (3) that is 5
minutes, a setting of 1hr (7) would wait 1 hour before trying to close the door.
Note: The maximum possible delay time is 4 hours.
Note: You can turn the system off by selecting Off (0) for the delay time.
NOT both
