INFRARED PROTECTION FUNCTION

1.When the garage door is opening, its movement will not be influenced if the Safe-T-Beam®is obstructed.

2.If the Safe-T-Beam®is obstructed before the garage door fully closes, the door will not close.

3.When the garage door is closing, if Safe-T-Beam®is cut off by people or obstacle, the garage door will reverse automatically to its fully opened position. (Meanwhile, the opener light will keep blinking until door moves to its fully opened position.)

4.If the Safe-T-Beam®System fails, loses power, or is installed improperly, you will have to press and hold the Wall Button "close" button until the door reaches its fully closed position. The LED indicator light on the power head will be green and blink twice (Pattern: ☼☼ pause ☼☼ pause) to inform you to eliminate problem first. Otherwise, the door will reverse automatically to its fully opened position if you release the "close" button on the Wall Button during the closing movement.
