Protectrix18M - Automatic Garage Door Closer Manual
a) Pick an area on the upper part of the Garage Door as shown in Diagram B
to install Protectrix.
b) Secure Protectrix to the garage door; screw the back half of the case to the
garage door with two screws. If
you do not want to use screws, you
can use double-sided tape and
apply it to the back of Protectrix
then stick Protectrix to the garage
door but ensure that the double-
sided tape is securely attached to
the garage door (see below
Caution).
Caution! If Protectrix™ falls or releases from the garage door, Protectrix™
may inadvertently open the garage door, or never try to close the garage
door. Ensure Protectrix™ is firmly attached!
/3/310MHz
Test 2)
Set the Delay Time to tst (1 minute) and leave your garage door
/4/300MHz
open. If the unit is not mounted to the garage door, the Protectrix unit must
/2/390MHz
face down for the timer to start the countdown!
/6/318MHz
An alarm (blinking light and beeping sound) will start after 1 minute; the
alarm will continue for 30 seconds, then the garage door should close. If the
/3/310MHz
garage door does not close retry Test 1 again.
Warning! Test that Protectrix works on your garage door before depending
on it, not testing it could mean your garage door will never close
automatically.
On the front of Protectrix turn
the knob to the desired number
of minutes that you would like
Protectrix to wait before trying
to close the garage door.
If you select 5m (3) that is 5
minutes, a setting of 1hr (7) would wait 1 hour before trying to close the door.
Note: The maximum possible delay time is 4 hours.
Note: You can turn the system off by selecting Off (0) for the delay time.
