3. Sensing System: A built—in sensing system detects obstructions during door operation. If in the Downward (close)
travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse to the full open position. In the Open mode, the
Opener will stop. In both cases the light will start flashing and continue to flash for 60 seconds. Since all doors are
different, the Sensing System has independent adjustments for customizing the level of force for the normal
opening and closing of specific door.
4. Close Limit Switch: In winter months it‘s common tor small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the
door. Ground swelling may also eflect the close limit setting of the Opener. The Close Limit Switch overrides the
Sensing System under the last one (1) inch at closing travel and prevents the door from reversing if it encounters an
obstruction at this point.
5. Emergency Release: A pull cord allows manual disconned and operation of door during power failure. Unit will
automatically reconnect when release is reset (the trolley release lever is snapped back to its original position).
