Testing the Safety Reverse System
The Safety Reverse System prevents the door from closing
when an obstruction is present.
1. Open the door by using the Door Control Console.
2. Place a 1-1/2" (3.8cm) thick solid object (or 2x4 laid flat)
on floor under the center of garage door.
3. Keeping the door in sight, use the Door Control Console to
close the door.
4. The door MUST REVERSE and beep within 1.5 seconds
upon striking the object , and stop at the fully open
position.
5. The Safety Reverse System works properly and the
opener is ready to use.
If the door fails to reverse upon contact with obstruction, adjust
the Opener as follows:
The close travel maybe inadequate, slightly increase the DOWN
limit. (See Travel Limit Adjustment on page 18-20)
Conduct the test again. If the door reverses on contact, remove
the object and run at least 3 COMPLETE travel cycles to ensure
proper adjustment.
If the Opener still fails the Safety Reverse Test, call a qualified
technician for door adjustment.
Testing the Photo Eye Safety System
1. Open the door by using the Door Control Console.
2. Make sure both Photo Eyes steadily emit the green and
red indicator lights. (If not, check alignment)
3. Place an object under the door about 8" (20cm) high by
12" (30cm) wide (the opener carton can be used),
4. The green indicator light on the emitter eye should flash.
5. The red indicator light on the sensor eye should be
dimmed.
6. Keep the door in sight and use the Door Control Console,
Door Control Console or Control to try to close the door.
7. The door should NOT move more than 1" (2.5cm) and the
opener will beep.
