How To Use Your Opener
Manual Door Operation
CAUTION: Do not open manual release in the 
open position, only use in the closed position. 
Operating the manual release while the door 
is open, the door may fall rapidly due to weak 
or broken springs, or due to being improperly 
balanced.
CAUTION! Do not disengage the opener to 
manual operation with children/persons or 
any objects including motor vehicles within 
the doorway.
To  disengage  the  opener  from  the  door  (preferably  with 
the  door  in  the  closed  position),  pull  down  on  the  string 
handle on an angle towards the door. This will allow you to 
manually open or close the door. To re-engage the opener 
pull the string handle away from the door.
WARNING! When the opener is manually 
disengaged, the door is no longer locked. To 
lock the door manually, re-engage the opener 
after the door is closed.
Power Failure
When there is a power failure, the opener will be unable to 
automatically open or close your garage door. To use your 
door whilst there is no power you will need to disengage the 
opener and use the door manually – see Manual Operation 
above.
Safety Infra-red Beam
A Safety Infra-red Beam Kit (Part No 062734) may be fitted 
to this opener. 
When this option is fitted, the operation of this device 
is such that if an object (i.e. car, child, etc.) blocks the 
Safety Infra-red  Beam, then  the garage  door opener 
will not close the door automatically.
If the Safety Infra-red Beam is fitted but not operating 
correctly,  then  the  door  once  opened  automatically, 
will not close automatically. The door may be closed 
by  reverting  to  manual  operation  –  see  Manual 
Operation. 
Auto-Close Option
To  have  the  Auto-Close  option  functional  you  must  also 
have a Safety Infra-red Beam (Part No 062734) fitted and 
functioning. To  enable the Auto-Close function, place the 
AUTO-CLS jumper near the terminal block.

When  this  option  is  selected  the garage door opener will 
attempt  to  close  the  door  automatically  30  seconds  after 
opening.
If the Safety Infra-red Beam is interrupted whilst the door is 
closing (e.g. by a person walking through the doorway), the 
door will reverse to the fully open position.
If the door does not close automatically, you may close the 
door using the Manual Operation.
Courtesy Light
The Courtesy Light will illuminate for approximately four (4) 
minutes each time the door is operated automatically. 
Spare  buttons  of  a  multi-channel  transmitters  can  be 
programmed to turn the light on and off by remote control.
See Step 17.2 for more information. 
Auxiliary Output
This  function  allows  the  opener  to  operate  other  devices 
such as external lights or an alarm system. 
To  use  this  function,  a  spare  button  of  a  multi-channel 
transmitter must  be programmed to  operate the  Auxiliary 
Output feature. 
See Step 17.4 for more information. 
Vacation Mode
The radio  receiver of  the garage  door opener  can be 
turned  off  to  all  but  one  transmitter  via  Vacation  Mode. 
Whilst in vacation mode the opener will not respond to any 
transmitter.
To activate the Vacation Mode facility, see Step 17.3.
NOTE -  program only one  button to control “Vacation 
Mode”.  This  will  reduce  the  possibility  of  accidental 
activation of this feature.
Pet (Pedestrian) Mode
A transmitter can be programmed to open the door partially 
to allow pet access to the garage. 
To activate  Pet Mode  press  the  transmitter  button  that 
has been programmed for Pet  Mode - the  door will open 
partially. 
See Step 17.5 for more information.
