WARNING
• Without a properly installed safety reversing sensor, persons (particularly small children) could be
seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door.
SAFETY TESTS
Test Safety Reversal System
With the door fully open, place a 1 1/2" (3.8 cm) board (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centred
under the garage door. Close the door by
pressing the button on the wall console.
After making contact with the board, the
door should stop then reverse to a fully open
position.
If the door fails to reverse:
• If the door stops on the obstruction, re-
adjust the down travel limit as it is not
travelling far enough in the down direction.
• Repeat the test until the door reverses upon striking the obstruction.
Test Safety Beam Sensor System
To test the safety beam sensor system, open the door to the fully open position.
1. Place an obstacle (such as the opener carton) to break the safety infrared beam.
2. Press the push button to close the door.
3. The door should not move more than 1" (2.5 cm), and the opener light will flash. If this
does not happen:
• Ensure the safety beam sensors are aligned properly (refer to “Install Safety Beam Sensor
System”).
• Ensure the obstacle is breaking the beam by checking the receiving sensor's blue LED is
off.
• If everything fails, call for a trained door systems technician.
