NOTICE
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ITS
USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE
EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING,
MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE
EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT
USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER THAN
ITS INTENDED PURPOSE - OPERATING
OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS.
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)
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.
