2012-09-19 Protectrix18M - Automatic Garage Door Closer Manual
Want Garage 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
If e ery few minutes the unit beeps once 1) the battery is low. If the unit
beeps twice the 2) unit needs to be reset (perform step 1B with the Delay
Time set to 0 or off, then repeat step 1A). Three beeps ) both the battery is
low and the unit needs to be reset. If the unit beeps four or more times 4) the
unit is defecti e and should be sent in for repair or replacement.
If the unit is mounted to the garage door and the door is closed, pressing the
test switch should make the unit beep once. The unit should beep twice if the
garage door is open.
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.
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.
Resetting Unit
If you hear 2 or 3 beeps e ery few minutes you will need to reset your
Protectrix unit. Do this by doing step 1B but with the Delay Time set to 0
(off). Then repeat Step 1A to relearn the unit to your garage door.
