Operation Of Your Opener - Chamberlain ATS 211 Owner's Manual

WARNING
Weak or broken springs could allow an open
door to fall (either rapidly or unexpectedly),
resulting in serious injury, death or property
damage. If possible, use the manual release
rope and handle only when the door is fully
closed.
Activate the opener with any of the following
devices:
1. The Door Control. Hold push button down until
the door starts to move.
2. A Remote Control Transmitter. Hold push button
down until the door starts to move.
3. The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry
Accessories.
When the opener is activated:
1. If open, the 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. With the safety reversing sensor installed and
correctly aligned, 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. The sensor has no effect in
the opening cycle.
If the sensor is not installed, or is not aligned
correctly, the door won't close from a remote control
transmitter. You can close the door with the Door
Control, however, if you press and hold the push
button until down travel is complete. If you release
the push button too soon, the door will reverse.
The opener light will blink for 5 seconds when the
safety reversing sensor is obstructed.
The opener light will turn on under the following
conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in;
when the power is interrupted and when the opener is
activated. It will turn off automatically after 4-1/2
minutes. Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.
