When the opener is activated with the Safety
Reversing Sensor installed and correctly aligned:
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. 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 any remote control
transmitter. You can close the door with the Door
Control, the Outside Keylock, or Keyless Entry,
however, if you activate them until down travel is
complete. If you release them too soon, the door will
reverse.
The opener lights will blink for 5 seconds when the
safety reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.
Opener Lights will turn on under the following
conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in;
when the power is interrupted; when the opener is
activated. They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2
minutes or provide constant light when the Light
feature is activated. Bulb size is 75 watts maximum.

reconnecting automatically.
Pull the manual release
handle down and back
(toward the opener). The
door can then be raised
and lowered manually as
often as necessary. To
disengage the lockout
feature, pull the manual
release handle straight
down. The trolley will
reconnect on the next UP
or DOWN operation.
