Aligning the Infrared Safety Beam
The safety beam has two components, a sender and a receiver . The sender produces a narrow infrared beam that travels across the bottom of the door opening to the infrared receiver . If an object blocks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop, then reverse and fully open (the operator’s light will flash three times) . As a safety feature, the operator will not attempt to close if the door is open and the infrared safety beam is blocked or out of alignment . In this case, the door can be forced closed by pressing and holding the wall station pushbutton (be sure the door area is in clear view) .

WARNING
With the door closed, disengage the trolley from the chain or belt during these alignment tests by pulling the red release handle .

Adjusting the Force Factor (Installation Option, Normally Not Used)
The operator uses the peak force measured during each of the last four complete cycles plus a “force factor” to calculate the maximum allowed force setting for the current door cycle . If the calculated maximum force setting is exceeded during the current door cycle, the operator reacts to the obstruction . As door hardware conditions change over time with weather and wear, the calculation of the maximum door force setting using the four cycle running average will compensate for the current conditions of the installation . The door force is preset for the lowest amount of pressure on an obstacle to detect an obstruction . THE FACTORY SETTING IS OPTIMIZED FOR MOST INSTALLATIONS .
Changing the Force Factor Setting
As an installation option, the operator’s “force factor” can be adjusted to change the amount of pressure exerted on an obstacle before the operator reacts to the obstruction .
a) Press both the UP and DOWN buttons for three seconds .
b) Use the UP or DOWN buttons to set the force factor . Pressing the UP button increases the force factor, pressing the DOWN button decreases the force factor .

Align the Infrared Safety Beam
The safety beam has two components, a sender and a receiver . The sender produces a narrow infrared beam that travels across the bottom of the door opening to the infrared receiver . If an object blocks the infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will stop, then reverse and fully open (the operator’s light will flash three times) . As a safety feature, the operator will not attempt to close if the door is open and the infrared safety beam is blocked or out of alignment . In this case, the door can be forced closed by pressing and holding the wall station pushbutton (be sure the door area is in clear view) .

WARNING
With the door closed, disengage the trolley from the chain or belt during these alignment tests by pulling the red release handle .

WARNING
Serious injury or death from a closing garage door may result because of failure to test and adjust safety reverse system . Repeat this test monthly and adjust as needed .

a) Check that the operator has power . The green lights on the sender and receiver should be lit .

RED LIGHT

b) If the receiver’s green light is on (but the red light is off) the receiver has power, but it’s not detecting the infrared beam from the sender . The red light might flash when the beam is partially detected . This can be caused by misalignment or something blocking the beam . Adjust the safety beam sender and receiver while watching the receiver’s red light (stay out of the beam while aligning it) .
c) When the red light stays on, rotate the sender towards the ceiling and stop when the red light on the receiver begins to flicker .
d) Rotate the sender back towards a horizontal position with the floor and stop as soon as the red light on the receiver lights solid . The beam is now properly aligned .
