IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR
Thesafety reversing sensor must be connectedand aligned
correctly before the garagedoor opener will move in the down
direction.
Thesending sensor (with an amber LED)transmits an invisible
light beamto the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an
obstruction breaksthe light beamwhile 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. Thesleep mode is
sequenced with thegarage 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 sleep mode until the
garage door opener hascompleted 5 cycles upon power up.
