Garage Door Closer
1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Skylink
®
Model GT-100A. Skylink Garage Door Closer is very easy to install,
and provides you with the peace of mind you have been looking for by
knowing your garage door will not be left open anymore. Skylink
Garage Door Closer consists of 2 units:
Garage Door
TM
Monitor Sensor
(Battery Included)
GS-101
4 pcs 3 x 18 screws
2 pcs 3.5 x 25 screws
Wall Console does not require any battery to operate and it can replace
most of the existing garage door opener's push buttons. Garage Door
Sensor is battery operated and can be mounted on to the garage door by
double sided tape or screws. These 2 units operate wirelessly which
simplifies the installation.
Programming is very simple, you can select the time you would like the
door to be closed after it has been opened. The selectable door closing
times are 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes.
Before installing the Skylink ®
door is equipped with an external entrapment protection device, such
as an infrared beam sensor which "sees" an object obstructing the door
without having actual contact with the object. A Garage door opener does
not have the auto reversing mechanism should be replaced by one that has
the auto reversing mechanism feature and the garage door closer
must not be installed on a garage door opener without this feature.
Without a properly working safety reversal system, a person could be
seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.
2. INSTALLATION
Unplug the power cord of your garage door opener
before installation to ensure power is not connected.

Step 2 – Mount the sensor on to your garage door
You can mount the sensor on to your garage
door with double-sided foam tape if the sur-
®
face of your garage door is smooth and clean
enough to provide a good adhesive surface,
such surface can usually be found on a metal
garage door. Please ensure the surface is
smooth and clean. Important: The bottom
of the sensor should be 1/2 inch above
the ground. (Refer to Diagram A)
For wooden garage doors, it is recommended
to mount the sensor with screws on to the
garage door with 3 x 18 screws provided.
Note:
When the garage door is opening/closing,
make sure the sensor does not interfere with
the safety reversing sensor or safety beam
sensor supplied with your existing garage
door opener.
Note: Ensure you straighten up the antenna
on the receiver to receive the best possible
reception.

"wall consoles".
- If you have a push button, you can replace the push button by the GC-433R.
