(SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS)
When properlyconnected and aligned,the safetyreversing sensors will detect an obstruction in the path
of the infrared beam.Ifan obstruction breaksthe infrared beam while the door is closing, the door will
stop and reverse to full open position,and the opener lightswill flash 10 times. Ifthe door is fullyopen,
and the safetyreversing sensors are not installed,or are misaligned,the door will not close from a
remote control.However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keyless
entry until the door is fullyclosed. The safetyreversing sensors do not effect the opening cycle.
ENERGY CONSERVATION
For energy efficiencythe garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed.The
sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated.The sleep mode is sequenced with the
garage door opener lightbulb; as the lightbulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn offand whenever the
garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDs will light. The garage door opener will not go into the
sleep mode until the garage door opener hascompleted 5 cycles upon power up.
LIGHTS
The garage door opener light bulbs will turn on when the opener is initially plugged in; power is restored
after interruption, or when the garage door opener isactivated.The lights will turn offautomatically after
4-1/2 minutes. An incandescent A19 lightbulb (100 wattmaximum) or for maximum energy efficiency a
26W (100W equivalent) compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulb may be used. NOTE: Do not use halogen,
short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these may overheat the end panel or light socket. Do not use LED
bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of your remote controls.
Light Feature
The garage door opener is equipped with an added feature; the lights will turn on when someone enters
through the open garage door and the safetyreversing sensor infrared beam is broken. For added
control over the lightbulbs on your garage door opener, see page 36 and 37.
