A)
On the front of Protectrix, set the
Delay Time
to the value from Table 1.
B)
Hold your garage door remote control about 1-2 feet from the garage
timer.
C)
Press and hold the
Test Switch
down for about 10seconds until it beeps
twice.
D)
Let go of the TEST SWITCH.
E)
Press and hold your remote control button down until the RED light
goes out on Protectrix (
approx. 2-5seconds
) followed by:
1 beep if successful, 3beeps if signal was too weak
Test 1)
Pressing the test button on the front of Protectrix™ should open and
close your garage door. Try several 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, or 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
(Ensure Test 1 works before doing this step)
A)
Pick an area on the upper
part of the Garage Door as
shown to the right to install
Protectrix.
B)
Secure Protectrix to the
garage door; screw the back
half of the case to the garage
door with two screws.
If you use double sided
tape to stick Protectrix to the garage door
ensure that the double-sided tape is securely
attached to the garage door and unit.
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’ (one minute)
and leave your garage door open. If the Protectrix
unit is not mounted to the garage door, the unit
must face down for the timer to start the
countdown! If you prefer a one minute delay, set
knob to ‘tst’ (test).
An alarm (blinking light and beeping sound) will start after 2 minutes; 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.

minutes that you would like Protectrix to wait
