Test The Safety

Reversing Sensor

 

Press the remote control push button to open the door.

Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door will not move more than an inch, and the opener light(s) will flash.

Professional service is required if the opener

closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed.

The garage door opener will not close from a remote control if the indicator light in either sensor is off(alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

The garage door can be closed by pressing and holding the Door Control push button until down

travel is completed.Safety Reversing SensorSafety Reversin_J Sensor

Test the Safety Reverse System

 

Test:

Place a one-inchboard (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.

Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on striking the obstruction.

Adjustment:

If the door stopson the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction.

Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

Repeat the test.

On a sectional door, make sure limit

adjustments do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position. See the illustration on page 26.

When the door reverses on the one-inch board, remove the obstruction and run the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

If the door will not reverse after repeated adjustment attempts, call for professional garage door service.
