TEST THE SAFETY REVERSE SYSTEM –
The safety reverse system test is important. Garage door must reverse on contact with a 40mm obstacle laid flat on the floor. Failure to
properly adjust opener may result in serious personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a month and adjust as needed.
Procedure: Place a 40mm obstacle (1) laid flat on the floor under the garage door. Operate
the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops
on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Increase the down
limit by turning down limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat test.
When the door reverses on the 40mm obstacle, remove the obstruction and run the opener
through a complete travel cycle. Door must not reverse in closed position. If it does, adjust
Limits and Force and repeat safety reverse test.

INSTALL THE PROTECTOR SYSTEM™ –
(See accessories)
Install this accessory for all installations on Canopy doors, 1 piece dual track
doors, doors over 2.5m and when the closing force as measured on the bot-
tom of the door is over 400N (40kg).
After opener has been installed and adjusted, The Protector System™ accessory
can be installed. Instructions are included with this accessory.
The Protector System™ provides an additional measure of safety against a
small child being caught under a garage door.
It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction, causes a closing
door to open and prevents an open door from closing and is strongly recommend-
ed for homeowners with young children.
Note: The opener will automatically detect the protector system when it is installed. The opener will not close unless the sensors are aligned.
