Installation 7: 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 fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed, or are misaligned, the door will not close from a remote control. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. For more information see page 21.
• The sensors must be installed inside the garage so that the sending and receiving sensors face each other across the door, no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the receiving sensor lens.
• The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
• If it is necessary to mount the sensors on the wall, the brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see accessories) are available if needed. If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry if repositioning is necessary.
• The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of the garage door (door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers, or other hardware) may interrupt the beam while the door is closing.

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

⚠ WARNING 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 the beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above the garage floor.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows the garage door from the inside, illustrating the placement of the safety reversing sensors at a maximum height of 6" (15 cm) above the floor, with an invisible light beam connecting them.

Operation: Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your garage door opener is equipped with features to provide you with greater control over your garage door operation.

• Alert2Close: Provides a visual and audible alert that an unattended door is closing.
• TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC): Automatically closes the door after a specified time. Requires a TTC enabled door control. Opener lights flash and beep before closing. MyQ Remote LED Light must be installed to use TTC or MyQ to control the door.
• MyQ®: Allows control of your garage door opener from your mobile device or computer. Uses a 900MHz signal for two-way communication. The opener has an internal gateway that communicates with your home Wi-Fi® network.

MEMORY CAPACITY:

THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM® (SAFETY LIGHTS REVERSING SENSORS): Detects an obstruction in the path of the infrared beam. If an obstruction breaks the 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 fully open, and the safety reversing sensors are not installed or are misaligned, the door will not close from a remote control. You can close the door by holding the button on the door control or keyless entry until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. For more information see page 21.

ENERGY CONSERVATION: For energy efficiency, the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode is sequenced with the opener light; as the light turns off, the sensor LEDs turn off, and whenever the opener lights turn on, the sensor LEDs will light. The opener will not go into sleep mode until it has completed 5 cycles upon power up.

Light Feature: The opener light turns on when someone enters through the open garage door and the safety reversing sensor infrared beam is broken. For added control over the light, see page 27.

USING YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER: The opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keyless entry, or MyQ® accessory. When the door is closed and activated, it opens. If it senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening, it stops. When the door is in any position other than closed and activated, it closes. If it senses an obstruction while closing, it reverses. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the opener lights will blink 10 times. You can close the door by holding the button on the door control or keyless entry until fully closed. Safety reversing sensors are required for the down direction.

BATTERY BACKUP: The battery backup system allows access even when power is out. When operating on battery power, the opener runs slower, the light is disabled, the Battery Status LED glows solid orange, and a beep sounds approximately every 2 seconds.

Troubleshooting: Additional Troubleshooting

The garage door opener doesn't operate from either the door control or the remote control:

• Does the garage door opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 8.
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation Step 5.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced (see page 3 for reference).

The door opener operates from the single button control station, but not from a remote control:

• Reprogram the remote control and replace the battery if necessary. Repeat with all remote controls.

The door opens and closes by itself:

• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.
• Remove the bell wire from the single button control station terminals and operate from the remote only. If this solves the problem, the single button control station is faulty, or there is an intermittent short in the wire. Replace the control station.
• Erase the memory and reprogram all remote controls (refer to the instructions provided with the remote control or visit LiftMaster.com).

My remote control will not activate the garage door:

• Verify the lock feature is not activated on the door control.
• Reprogram the remote control.
• If the remote control will still not activate the door, check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener is working properly.

The remote control has short range:

• Change the location of the remote control in your car.
• Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil-backed insulation, or metal garage siding.

The door doesn't open completely:

• Check power door lock.
• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

The door opens but won't close:

• Check that the cable tension monitor is correctly installed. If a second cable tension monitor has been removed, follow the instructions to relearn a single cable tension monitor (See Installation Step 4).
• The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the door opener will move in the down direction. If you are able to close the door using constant pressure, verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned, and free of any obstructions (see page 14).
• If the garage door opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensors (see page 18).
• If the garage door opener lights don't blink and it is a new installation, see Adjustment Step 1. For an existing installation, see below. Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

The door reverses for no apparent reason and garage door opener lights don't blink:

• Check that the cable tension monitor is correctly installed. If a second cable tension monitor has been removed, follow the instructions to relearn a single cable tension monitor (See Installation Step 4).
• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergency release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems technician.
• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
• Review Adjustment Step 1.
• Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.

My door will not close and the light blinks:

The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

• Verify the safety sensors are properly installed, aligned, and free of any obstructions.

The garage door opener strains to operate door:

• The door may be out of balance or the springs may be broken. Close the door and use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. Open and close the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the garage door opener and call a trained door systems technician.

The garage door opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:

• The garage door springs may be broken. See above.
• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the garage door opener, the door may be locked. Disable the power door lock.

Troubleshooting: Additional Troubleshooting (Continued)

The garage door opener won't operate due to power failure:

• Manually open the power door lock.
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored, pull the manual release a second time.
• When in Battery Backup mode, the opener should be able to operate up to 20 times.
• Disable any door locks. Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored, pull the manual release a second time.
• When in battery backup mode, battery power will last for 30 hours or up to 20 cycles over a 24 hour period.

Door loses limits:

• Collar not tightened securely. Tighten collar and reprogram limits (see Adjustment Step 1).

The garage door opener moves when the door is in operation:

• Some minor movement is normal for this product. If it is excessive, the collar will wear prematurely.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not moving left/right excessively.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not visibly moving up and down as it rotates.
• Check that the opener is mounted at a right angle to the jackshaft. If not, move the position of the mounting bracket.

Automatic door lock connector will not fit the door opener plug:

• Older model 24V door locks are incompatible. Use automatic door lock model 841LM, see Accessories page.

Automatic garage door lock does not activate when garage door opens or closes:

• In battery backup mode, the automatic garage door lock will unlock when the garage door is opened, and will remain disabled until power is restored.

The door opener is beeping:

• Indicates unattended closure. The opener has been activated by the MyQ App or the Garage and Gate Monitor.
• A solid orange LED with beep, sounding approximately every 2 seconds, indicates the door opener is operating on battery power.
• A flashing orange LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates the battery is low.
• A solid red LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates the 12V battery will no longer hold a charge and needs to be replaced.

The garage door is beeping and the red LED is flashing:

• The battery charge is low or the battery is dead.
• Replace the battery.

MyQ® Smartphone Control, wireless MyQ® devices, and Timer-To-Close will not work:

• When in Battery Backup mode, MyQ® Smartphone Control, wireless MyQ® devices, and Timer-To-Close will be disabled.
• MyQ Remote LED Light must be installed to enable use of Timer-to-Close or MyQ Smartphone Control of the door. Plug in the MyQ Remote LED Light and make sure it is programmed to the garage door opener. It may take up to 5 minutes to enable Timer-to-Close and MyQ Smartphone Control.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Safety & Maintenance Guide

Garage Door Opener Safety – An Automatic Decision

A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes, potentially leading to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.

Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system. Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are dangerous situations. Simple precautions can protect family and friends.

Review the safety and maintenance tips in this brochure carefully and keep it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function safely and trouble-free. Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door opener's manual for more details.

Garage Door Openers are Not Toys

• Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.

Illustration Description: An illustration shows a person staying away from a moving garage door.

• Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children. Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control devices.

Illustration Description: An illustration shows children playing with a remote control, emphasizing the need to keep them out of reach.

The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the closing garage door.

Illustration Description: An illustration shows a wall-mounted push button installed at a safe height, away from moving parts, with a clear view of the garage door.

Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the wall-mounted push button or transmitter.

Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies

Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine. Review your owner's manual for both the door and door opener. If you don't have the owner's manuals, contact the manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.

⚠ WARNING – Springs are under high tension. Only qualified individuals should adjust them.

Visually check the door and installation:

• Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
• Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
• These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner's manual for suggested maintenance.
• If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
• Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6" from the garage floor.

Test the door for proper operation:

• Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
• The door should move freely and without difficulty.
• The door should balance and stay partially open 3-4 feet above the floor.
• If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.

Test the opener safety features:

1. Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate routine maintenance checks: visually inspecting door parts, testing door operation, and testing opener safety features with a 2x4 board and blocking the photoelectric sensor.
