3. OPERATION

The garage door closer monitors the door position in order to determine
when the door needs to be closed. The Garage Door Sensor will send
wireless signal to the wall console to report the door’s position. User
can set the wall console so it will close the door after it has been opened
for a predetermined period of time.

User has the option to program how long the door
should be closed after it has been open. This is
called “Door Closer Delay Timer”. To change the
setting of this timer, there is a slide switch on the
side of the wall console.

The highest position represents 2 minutes;
2

nd

position from the top represents 5 minutes;

3

rd

position from the top represents 10 minutes;

The lowest position represents 20 minutes;

the garage door closer.
1) The garage door should be in fully closed position.
2) Press the open / close button (push button) on

the wall console, the garage door will open.

3) Once the door is opened, the wall console will

beep and the “Timer / Learn” LED will flash
indicating the door is open, and it will close the
door after the preset door close delay time.

4) The beeping rate will increase as the timer is

running out, meaning the door is about to close.

5) When the timer expires, the garage door will

be closed automatically.

Cancel Door Closer Delay Timer (when the timer is running)

The door closer delay timer can be cancelled temporarily. If you want the

next door opening sequence, the timer will start again.
