2009-12-18 Protectrix18M - Automatic Garage Door Closer Manual
Want arage Door to Stay Open?
If you would like to lea e your garage door open without Protectrix closing
the door on you, you can disable it in one of two easy ways:
a) Turn the delay switch on the front of Protectrix to off (0), although
we recommend turning it to 4hr (9) just in case you forget to turn
it back on again.
b) Turn ON the Lock Switch on your garage door switch. It is usually
mounted inside your garage on the wall. Protectrix will still set off
an alarm after the set delay time and e ery delay time after that but
it will not be able to close the door.
Alarms
When you press the test switch for 3 or more seconds and then release the
switch, once the transmission is complete, if there are any situations that need
to be addressed the unit will beep and blink. The unit will also beep any
alarms e ery se eral minutes.
If the unit beeps once 1) the Battery is Low. If the unit beeps twice the 2)
Unit Needs to be Reset (perform step 1B abo e with the Delay Time set to 0,
then repeat step 1A). If the unit beeps more than 3 times the unit is 3)
defecti e and should be repaired or replaced.
Testing/Replacing Battery
Protectrix requires a 9- olt alkaline battery (included). Protectrix™ should be
tested once a month. While the garage door is closed press the TEST
SWITCH button on the front of Protectrix. If the garage door opens and you
don’t hear a single beep AFTER you release the Test Switch, the battery is
okay.
If you hear 2 or 3 beeps after pressing the Test Switch you’ll need to reset
your Protectrix unit. Do this by repeating step 1B but set the Delay Time to 0
(off). Then repeat Step 1A.
