OPERATION AND PROGRAMMING
The
Autocloser system is ready to operate straight out of the box. Once installed, the unit
will automatically close your garage door after the preset software timer has finished it’s
count. The system features are enumerated below.
1) Temporary Disable - This disable is intended to temporarily disable the system so
that the garage door will not automatically close. This feature can only be utilized
when the garage door is fully open. To activate ‘temporary disable’, press the disable
button when the garage door is open—NOTE: The door must be completely open in
order for the disable button to be recognized. The Autocloser will beep twice indicat-
ing that the unit is in ‘temporary disable’. The red disable light will begin to blink.
To deactivate ‘temporary disable’, close the garage door. Pressing the disable button
a second time while the garage door is open will not deactivate ‘temporary disable’.
If the disable button is pressed while the unit is in ‘ temporary disable’, the Auto-
closer will signal the error with two beeps while the button is depressed, followed by
six beeps when the button is released. The Autocloser will remember that it is in this
mode if the power is interrupted.
TIP- If the garage door is partially closed, the Autocloser will think the door is fully
closed and will never perform the auto closing function. Because the unit thinks the
door is closed, it cannot be put into ‘temporary disable’.
2) Malfunction Disable - This disable occurs automatically when the garage door fails
to close after two Autocloser attempts. When the unit is in ‘malfunction disable’
mode, the red disable light will blink and the unit will beep once every 20 seconds.
Determine if something is blocking your garage door then re-enable the unit by
pressing the disable button. The unit will beep 3 times.
3) Auto close Cancel - To cancel the current auto closing operation when the unit is
sounding the audible closing alarm (auto close state), the operation can be cancelled
by pressing the disable button. This will reset the software timer. The unit will imme-
diately begin counting.
!!! WARNING
!
The auto close cancel feature WILL NOT reverse a door that is already moving.
This feature simply cancels further Autocloser operation. If the door is already
closing and it needs to be stopped, the garage door opener button should be
pushed!
