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:

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 6000 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.

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

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. (Page 11)

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)

Connections For Continuously Monitored Auxiliary

PRODUCT FEATURES

Entrapment Protection Devices: The 6000 Series 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 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 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 6000 Series motor control circuitry constantly monitors the All-Clear Photosystem for proper operation.

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

Digital Radio Controls: The 6000 Series Openers covered in this Manual can be fitted with optional Radio Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily selected without use of tools. (PageZ15)

Super Station (Deluxe Wall Push Button): A feature-packed accessory unit, the Super Station allows access to all of the Opener's functions. Independent Open, Close, and Stop buttons 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. A Security Disable switch is provided if the garage door is the only entryway into the garage. Lighted Push Buttons enhance nighttime use. (Page 16)

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.
