Protectrix DP5 - Automatic Garage Door Closer Manual
Start
– Setup DP5
Thank you for your purchase of the Protectrix™ Automatic Garage
Door Closing Timer. This manual supports model DP5. You will need:
- 2 mounting screws (included)
- 9-Volt battery (included)
- Philips screwdriver (not included)
Step 1A – Configure RF
A.
Open the timer case and connect a 9
Volt battery to the battery connector.
B.
Find your
Learn
button on the garage
door opener (should be
green
,
red
,
purple
or
yellow)
.
C.
Hold Down Switches
2
and
3
for 3
seconds until the small light turns off
(light is on other end of board)
D.
If your learn button is:
-
Green
wait for light to blink 4 times
-
Red
wait for the light to blink 2 times
-
Purple
wait for the light to blink 1 time
-
Yellow
wait for the light to blink
3 times
E.
Then immediately press the Test
Switch on front of the timer.
You will have three attempts
to press the Test Switch, if
necessary start step C again.
Step 1B – Connect to Motor
A.
Press the learn button on motor for 1 second and a small light
beside the learn button should turn on.
B.
Next press and release the
Test Switch
button repeatedly until
the main light on the garage door opener flashes or the garage
door moves
.
Test 1:
Press the test button on the front of the Protectrix timer,
your garage door should open or close. Repeat several times. If the
door does not respond each time, either:
•
remote has not been programmed correctly, repeat step 1A & 1B
•
your garage door is not compatible with this model
•
the remote lock switch for your garage door motor 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 to the right to install
the timer.
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, ensure that the
double-sided tape is securely attached to the
garage door.
Caution! If Protectrix falls or releases from the garage door,
Protectrix will either inadvertently open the garage door, or
never 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.
Step 3 – Adjust Delay Time
Turn the delay knob
1
to the desired
number of minutes that you would like
Protectrix to wait
2
before trying to close
the garage door.
1hr
(7)
: Delays 1 hour before trying to close
5m
(3)
: Delays 5 minutes before trying to close
Off
(0)
: Turns the system off.
Tst
(1):
Delays 1minute before trying to close
1
The very small window on the dial points to the delay time.
2
The maximum possible delay time is 4 hours and minimum is
1minute.
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.
Want Garage Door to Stay Open?
If you would like to leave your garage door open without Protectrix
closing the door on you, you can disable it in one of two easy ways:
a)
Turn the delay switch on the front of Protectrix to off (
0
),
although we recommend turning it to 4hr (
9
) just in case
you forget to turn it back on again.
b)
Turn ON the Lock Switch on your garage door switch. It is
usually mounted inside your garage on the wall. Protectrix
will still set off an alarm after the set delay time and every
delay time after that but it will not be able to close the door.
Alarms
-
If the unit beeps once every few minutes the
Battery is Low
. If
the unit beeps two or more times every few minutes the unit is
defective and should be repaired or replaced.
-
If the timer beeps consistently, try replacing the battery, if this
does not fix the situation a repair or replacement may be
necessary.
-
When the unit is mounted to the garage door and the door is
closed, pressing the test switch should make the unit beep once.
The unit should beep twice if the garage door is open. If the unit
beeps one less beeps than it is supposed to the battery may be
low.
