PURPOSE - OPERATING OVERHEAD

GARAGE DOORS.

STANDARD 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. Allstar's 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.

Emergency 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. (Pagez11)

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 Emergency Release Mechanism. (Page 11)

PRODUCT FEATURES

Connections For Continuously Monitored Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Devices: The Allstar All-Clear™ Photosystem (light beam across the door opening) can be easily connected to the Opener. Control circuitry monitors the device continuously for proper operation. (Page 20) Consult the factory for compatibility of other auxiliary entrapment protection devices.

Constant Contact To Close: For utmost safety, the standard operation mode requires constant contact on the mechanical Push Button to close the door if an Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Device (see above) IS NOT installed or if the Device fails. In this mode of operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to close the door. (Page 13 & 14)

Momentary Contact To Close: After installing an Allstar Access All-Clear™ Photosystem Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Device the close operation mode is automatically converted to momentary contact of the mechanical Push Button, and a portable Radio Transmitter can be used to close the door. (PageZ16)

All-Clear™ Photosystem: An invisible infra-red beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a downward moving door if the beam is broken by a stationary or moving object. Allstar motor control circuitry constantly monitors the All-Clear Photosystem for proper operation.

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

Digital Radio Controls: All Openers covered in this Manual can be fitted with optional Allstar Radio Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily selected without use of tools. Bright transmitter LED's indicate operation and monitor battery condition. (PageZ15)

Deluxe Wall Push Button Station: A feature-packed accessory unit, Allstar's Deluxe Wall Push Button Station allows access to all of the Opener's functions. The Opener's built-in light can be turned on or off independent of door operation. A Vacation Switch allows the Opener to be deactivated for extended periods of time. Lighted Push Buttons enhance nighttime use. (Page 16)

Keyless Entry System: A tamper resistant outdoor keypad, the optional Allstar Plus Keyless Entry System features 10 Billion possible security codes. Easily programmable, it accommodates two separate access codes of 3-10 digits. Lighted Buttons enhance nighttime use.
