When the opener is activated with the safety
reversing sensor installed and correctly aligned:
1. If open, door will close. If closed, the door will
open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for
entry and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle
when the invisible beam is broken. If fully open, the
door will not close when the beam is broken.
Sensor has no effect in the opening cycle.
If the sensor is not installed or aligned correctly, you
can't close the door from any remote control
transmitter. You can close the door with the Door
Control, the Outside Keylock, or Keyless Entry,
however, if you activate them until down travel is
complete. If you release them too soon, the door will
reverse.
The opener lights will blink for 5 seconds when the
safety reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.
The Opener Lights will turn on under the following
conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in;
when the power is interrupted; when the opener is
