STANDARD FEATURES:

Safe Finish™ Photosystem: An invisible infrared beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a downward moving door if the beam is broken by a stationary or moving object. The AC9000 Series motor control circuitry constantly monitors the Safe Finish Photosystem for proper operation.

Manual Release: A pull cord allows separation of the drive mechanism and manual operation of the door when desired, as in the event of a power failure. (Page 16)

Automatic Reconnection: Once power is restored, or automatic operation of the door is again desired, initiating operation in the normal manner (Push Button, Radio Control, etc.) will effect automatic reconnection of the Manual Release Mechanism. (Page 16)

Alternating Action Operation: The mechanical wall pushbutton functions in an Open/Stop/Close/Stop mode in normal operation. (Page 16)

PRODUCT FEATURES

Sensing System: A built-in sensing system detects obstructions during door operation. If in the downward (close) travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse the direction of the door. In the open mode, the Opener will stop. Since all doors are different, the Sensing System has independent adjustments for customizing the level of force required for the normal opening and closing of specified doors. ( Page 18)

Close Limit Switch: In winter months it's common for small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the door. Ground swelling can also effect the close limit setting of the Opener. The AC9000 Series Close Limit Switch overrides the Sensing System during the last one inch of closing travel and prevents the door from reversing if it encounters an obstruction at this point.

Constant Contact To Close: For utmost safety and security, the standard operation mode requires constant contact on the mechanical Push Button to close the door if the Safe Finish™ Photosystem becomes misaligned or if there is an irregularity in the wiring to the device. In this mode of operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to close the door. (Page 19)

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

Digital Radio Controls: The AC9000 Series Openers covered in this Manual can be fitted with Allstar’s optional Radio Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily selected without use of tools. (PageZ14)

Super Station Deluxe Wall Push Button: A feature-packed accessory unit, the Deluxe Wall Station allows access to all of the Opener's functions. Open/ Close button permits full control of the door’s operation. The Opener's built-in light can be turned on or off independent of door operation. A Security Switch allows the Opener to be deactivated for extended periods of time. (Page 12)

Keyless Entry System: A tamper resistant outdoor keypad, the optional Keyless Entry System permits entry to the garage without use of key or radio transmitter. Easily programmable, it accommodates four separate access codes of 4 digits. Lighted Buttons enhance nighttime use.
