PE BEAM AND AUTO CLOSE

12. FITTING THE SAFETY PHOTO
ELECTRIC BEAM SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Locate the Photo Electric Beam (P.E.) normally closed contact
type in a strategic location within doorway. We recommend
150mm above the floor level and as close as possible to the
door opening, inside the garage. Remove shunt from P.E
connector (Fig. 25) and connect the plug from the P.E. wiring
harness to P.E. connector (Fig. 26). The wiring diagram is for
Model PHBE (Order Code 90214).
Make sure to align the beams correctly. Follow the manual
supplied with the Photo Electric Beam.
WARNING; When using Auto Close Mode and P.E. beams,
the doorway must be clear of all obstructions and persons
at all times. The location of the beam and manner in which
it is installed might not give safety protection at all times.
Check to make sure that the height of the beam and type
used give maximum protection possible.
13. SETTING OF AUTO CLOSE TIME
IMPORTANT NOTICE: IT IS COMPULSORY TO
INSTALL A PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM BEFORE USING
THE AUTO CLOSE MODE.
The Auto Close timer will only start after the Photo Electric
Beams (P.E.) path is broken and the auto close time has been
set. If the P.E. path is not broken the door will remain open till
the path is broken. If the Door Opener incurs an obstruction
(not from the P.E.) while closing the door will re-open and not
auto close until the path of the P.E. beam is broken again.
SETTING AUTO CLOSE TIME
1. Press in and hold the Auto Close Time button (Fig. 25).
2. While holding in the Auto Close Time button, press the
Open button (Fig. 25). Each press of this button will add one
second to the auto close delay time.
3. To decrease the delay time follow Step 1 and press the Close
button. Each press will deduct one second from the auto
close time.
4. Press the O/S/C button (Fig. 25) or transmitter to open the
door. When the door is fully opened the Open Limit green
LED will flash to indicate that the auto close mode is in
operation. Break the path of the P.E. Beam momentarily, this
will initialise the auto close mode. When the door reaches
the fully opened position, the door will pause for the set auto
close time and start to auto close.
14. MANUAL RELEASE
To switch the opener to manual mode simply pull the red
manual release handle down and release. To re-engage the
opener repeat the above action.
Note: The door may move uncontrollably if the spring tension
is weak or not set properly or the door is unbalanced.
