Step 28: Photoelectric Obstruction Sensor Test
CENTER OF DOOR
2 X 4 LAID FLAT ON FLOOR

Manually position the door to the desired pet opening height (between 8” and 30” above ground) and return disconnect handle to the motor operated position.

2.Simultaneously depress the pet and up/down buttons on the wall station. The opener will beep once. The pet button is now programmed to automatically open the door to this custom height.

NOTE: The opener will NOT accept programmed pet lock position if door is below 8” or higher than 30”.

NOTE: Activation of the normal install routine will reset the pet position to the default eight inch target height. For use of the pet button see Operation section.

Step 29: Contact Obstruction TestManual backgroundWARNING WHEN PERFORMING THIS PART OF THE TEST, DO NOT PLACE YOURSELF UNDER DESCENDING DOOR, OR SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY MAY RESULT.

Manual backgroundManual backgroundWARNING IF THE OPENER DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY, OR FAILS THESE TEST, HAVE A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON MAKE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS/REPAIRS. FAILURE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.

Step 29: Contact Obstruction Test

After installing the opener, the door must reverse when it: contacts a 1-1/2” (38mm) high object (or a 2 x 4 board laid flat) on the floor. To verify proper operation:

1. Using the wall station, activate the door to the fully open position .

2.Place a 2 x 4 board laid flat on the garage floor under the door path.

3.Activate the door to the closed position with the

wallstation; upon contacting a solid object, the door will stop, then reverse direction within two seconds and travel to the full open position.

If the door does not respond to the required tests, remove 2 x 4 and repeat install routine making sure the door is in the fully closed position prior to activation. If problem persists contact Wayne Dalton Customer Service (888) 827-3667
