IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned
correctly before the garagedoor opener will move in the down
direction.
The sending sensor (with an amber LED)transmits an invisible
light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an
obstruction breaksthe light beam while the door is closing, the
door will stop and reverseto the full open position, and the
garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.
NOTE:For energy efficiency the garagedoor opener will enter
sleep mode when the door is fully closed. Thesleep mode shuts
the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is
sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb; as the light
bulb turns off the sensor LEDswill turn off and wheneverthe
garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The
garage door opener will not go into the sleepmode until the
garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.
When installing the safety ing sensors check the following:
