19Install the Protector System®IntroductionBe sure power is NOT connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing thesafety reversing sensor.To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from closing garage door:lCorrectly connect and align the safety reversing sensor. This required safetydevice MUST NOT be disabled.lInstall the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm)above garage floor.IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORSThe safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before thegarage door opener will move in the down direction.The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to thereceiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while thedoor is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the garagedoor opener lights will flash 10 times.NOTE: For energy efficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the dooris fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. Thesleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light bulb turnsoff the sensor LEDs will turn off and whenever the garage door opener lights turn on thesensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until thegarage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:lSensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.lSensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensorlens does not receive direct sunlight.lSensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam isunobstructed.Invisible Light BeamProtection AreaSafety Reversing Sensor6" (15 cm) max. above floorSafety Reversing Sensor6" (15 cm) max. above floor

25AdjustmentsIntroductionWithout a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly smallchildren) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.lIncorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with properoperation of safety reversal system.lAfter ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested.Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laidflat) on floor.To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.Your garage door opener is designed with electronic controls to make setup andadjustments easy. The adjustments allow you to program where the door will stop in theopen (UP) and close (DOWN) position. The electronic controls sense the amount of forcerequired to open and close the door. The force is adjusted automatically when youprogram the travel.NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel it will stop. If anythinginterferes with the door’s downward travel, it will reverse.UP (Open) DOWN (Close)PROGRAMMING BUTTONSThe programming buttons are located on the left side panel of the garage door openerand are used to program the travel.
