Test The Safety Reversal System; Install The Protector System - Chamberlain 5410E 2013 Owner's Manual

ADJUSTMENT STEP 3

Test the Safety Reversal System

The safety reverse system test is important. The garage door
must reverse on contact with a 40 mm obstacle laid fl at on the
fl oor. Failure to properly adjust opener may result in serious
personal injury from a closing garage door. Repeat test once a
month and adjust as needed.
PROCEDURE:
• Place a 40 mm obstacle laid fl at on the fl oor under the garage
door. Operate the door in the down direction. The door must
reverse on the obstruction. If the door stops on the obstruction,
it is not travelling far enough in the down direction. Increase
the down limit by turning down limit adjustment screw
counterclockwise 1/4 turn. Repeat test.
• When the door reverses on the 40 mm obstacle, remove the
obstruction and run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
Door must not reverse in closed position. If it does, adjust
limits and force and repeat safety reverse test.

Install the Protector System

Install this accessory for all installations on tilt doors, doors
over 2.5 m and when the closing force as measured on the
bottom of the door is over 400 N (40 kg).
• After opener has been installed and adjusted, the Protector
®
System accessory can be installed. Instructions are included
with this accessory.
The Protector System ® provides an additional measure of safety
against a small child being trapped under a garage door.
• It uses an invisible beam which, when broken by an obstruction,
causes a closing door to open and prevents an open door from
closing and is strongly recommended for homeowners with
young children.
NOTE: The opener will automatically detect the Protector System
when it is installed. The opener will not close unless the sensors
are aligned.
