10 Install the Protector System®

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door will move in the down direction. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

When properly connected and aligned, the safety reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The sending sensor (with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open position, and the opener lights will flash 10 times. If the door is already open, it will not close.

WARNING

Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

Diagram: Shows the garage door with two safety reversing sensors mounted on the tracks, facing each other. The invisible light beam path is indicated. The sensors are shown no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

12 Align the safety reversing sensors

The door will not close if the sensors have not been installed and aligned correctly. The LEDs in both sensors must be glowing steady, which indicates they are powered and aligned correctly. The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the remote lights will flash 10 times. If the door is already open, it will not close.

TO ALIGN SENSORS:

The sensors can be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors, and tightening the wing nuts.

Diagram: Shows the sending sensor with an amber LED and the receiving sensor with a green LED, with the invisible light beam between them. It also shows a close-up of the sensors and their alignment.

If the LEDs are not glowing steadily:

• Check that both sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.
• Check that sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor light does not receive direct sunlight.
• Check that sensors have the same measurement, no higher than 6” above the floor.

Amber LED is not lit:

• Check there is power to the garage door opener.
• Check the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
• Check the sensor has been wired correctly: white wires to white terminal and white/black wires to grey terminal.

Green LED is not lit:

• Check that the sensor wire is not shorted/broken.
• Check that the sensors are aligned.

ENSURE THE DOOR CONTROL IS WIRED CORRECTLY

The yellow Command LED and the red Learn LED on the door control will blink quickly for up to 5 minutes as the door control recharges. When the door control is operational, the yellow Command LED will glow steadily.

Adjustment

1 Program the Travel Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down. Adjust the position of the door by using the black and yellow buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and yellow moves the door DOWN (close).

NOTE: The yellow command LED and the red learn LED will blink quickly for up to 5 minutes as the control panel recharges. When the control panel is operational, the yellow command LED will glow steadily.

SETTING THE UP POSITION:

Test the opener safety features:

• Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
• Place a 2x4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2x4 and then reverse direction.
• Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
• If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
