To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a grounded type plug that includes a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only fit a grounded type outlet. If you do not have a grounded outlet, contact a qualified licensed electrician to install one. DO NOT alter the plug in any way. The door opener must be properly grounded in order to prevent personal injury and damage to the components.

DO NOT remove motor cover. All work performed on motor must be done by a trained door system technician.

CAUTION

Check local building codes to make sure that you are not required to have your garage door opener permanently wired, with circuit breaker protection. If building codes require door opener to be permanently wired have a qualified licensed electrician connect power with permanent wiring.

Adjust the Red LED source by aiming the unit directly at the Green LED sensor. Use the adjustment screw located on the top of the source housing to make adjustments.

The Red LED source will blink if there is a misalignment. When the LED units are aligned the Red LED will remain ON continuously.

After the alignment is finished tighten the adjustment screws on Safe-T-Beam®.

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 control "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 control during the closing movement.
