Please follow the instructions below to set up your garage door
sensor properly.
After setting up all the connectors, the sensor is ready to be powered
up.
Remove the battery cover on the sensor and insert the 3V lithium
battery to the sensor as shown in the diagram.
The LED on the sensor will flash 8 times to indicate the unit is properly
powered and there is signal transmission to the receiver. The receiver
will respond to the transmitted signal depending on the orientation of
the sensor. Make sure to put the transparent protective cover back in
place after inserting the battery.
1. CODE CONNECTORS
In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the sensor's code
must match with the receiver's code. Code connectors 1 to 6 can be found by opening
the battery cover of the sensor. Note: Before opening the battery cover, it is necessary
to remove the transparent protective cover. Keep it for future use. User is required to
set these code connectors randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver
must be the same. Each position of the code connector can be set to "+", "-' or "0"

position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code con-
nectors properly. If the connector is placed on the top and
middle posts, that column is set on " + ". If the connector is
placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set
on " - ". If the connector is removed completely, (not placed
on any posts), it is set to " 0 ". (see diagram for examples
of how to set a column to the three different positions).

3. POWER UP THE GARAGE DOOR MONITOR
If the detection rod on the sensor is fully extended, one of the red LED
on the receiver will flash, and the buzzer will also emit beeping to
indicate a door is open. If the detection rod is inside the sensor, the
green LED on the receiver will glow steadily, indicating the sensor is in
a closed position.

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could
accidentally trigger your system, please change the code settings on the
sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and receiver should
still match after changing the code setting.
2. ZONE CONNECTORS
Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine
the zone number 1, 2, 3, or 4. These 2 connectors can be found by
Clip
opening the battery cover. Please follow the chart below to set the zone
number. If the sensor is set to zone number 1, then the receiver zone 1
signal will correspond to this sensor.
Note: A connector
can be removed with
the clip, as shown.
