SkyLink Garage Door Monitor GM-318T User manual

1. INTRODUCTION
In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the sensor’s code
must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1 to 6 can be found by opening
the battery cover of the sensor. Note: Before opening the battery cover, it is necessary
to remove the transparent protective cover. Keep it for future use. User is required to
set these code connectors randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver
must be the same. Each position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-‘ or “0”
position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code con-
nectors properly. If the connector is placed on the top and
middle posts, that column is set on “ + ”. If the connector is
placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set
on “ - ”. If the connector is removed completely, (not placed
on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for examples
of how to set a column to the three different positions).

3.POWERUPTHEGARAGEDOORMONITORTM SENSOR
After setting up all the connectors, the sensor is ready to be powered
up.
Remove the battery cover on the sensor and insert the 3V lithium
battery to the sensor as shown in the diagram.
The LED on the sensor will flash 8 times to indicate the unit is properly
powered and there is signal transmission to the receiver. The receiver
will respond to the transmitted signal depending on the orientation of
the sensor. Make sure to put the transparent protective cover back in
place after inserting the battery.
If the detection rod on the sensor is fully extended, one of the red LED
on the receiver will flash, and the buzzer will also emit beeping to
indicate a door is open. If the detection rod is inside the sensor, the
green LED on the receiver will glow steadily, indicating the sensor is in
a closed position.
You can change the orientation of the sensor and you should see the
change in response of the receiver. If the sensor and receiver are
working properly in close proximity, you can now begin to install the
sensor onto your garage door.

The garage door monitorTM is designed to monitor the status of
your garage door and advise you if the door is open. By placing
the sensor on the door panel, you will be alerted when the door
is open. When the garage door is open, receiver will beep and
flash.
In this package, you should find a Garage Door MonitorTM
sensor, 3V lithium battery, double-sided foam tape mounting
screws and a clip.
Please follow the instructions below to set up your garage door
sensor properly.

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could
accidentally trigger your system, please change the code settings on the
sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and receiver should
still match after changing the code setting.

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that determine
the zone number 1, 2, 3, or 4. These 2 connectors can be found by
opening the battery cover. Please follow the chart below to set the zone
number. If the sensor is set to zone number 1, then the receiver zone 1
signal will correspond to this sensor.
“-“ on the table means the connector for that position should be removed.
“+” on the table means the connector for that position should be placed on
the posts.

8. FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING:
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
4. INSTALLATION
Note:
When the garage door is opening / closing, make
sure the sensor does not interfere with the safety
reversing sensor or safety beam sensor supplied
with your existing garage door opener.
Step 2 – Mount the sensor onto your garage door
You can mount the sensor onto your garage door
with double-sided foam tape if the surface of your
garage door is smooth and clean enough to provide
a good adhesive surface, such surface can usually
be found on a metal garage door. Please ensure the
surface is smooth and clean. Important: The
bottom of the sensor should be 1/2 inch above
the ground. (Refer to Diagram A)
For wooden garage doors, it is recommended to
mount the sensor with screws onto the garage door
with 3 x 18 screws provided.
Note: Ensure you straighten up the antenna on the
receiver to receive the best possible reception.
When the garage door is open, the sensor will send a signal to the receiver.
It will beep and the corresponding zone red LED will flash.
If the sensor is set to zone 1, zone 1 red LED on the receiver will flash, and
the receiver will emit a continuous “single beep”, i.e. “beep” pause, “beep”,
pause….. etc.
If the sensor is set to zone 4, zone 4 red LED will flash, and the receiver will
emit a continuous “4 beeps”, i.e. “beep beep beep beep” pause “beep beep
beep beep” pause ……etc.
By the number of beeps emitted by the receiver, user can identify which zone
is triggered.
When the battery level on the sensor drops to a certain level, or the sensor is
out of the operating range, the receiver will show a “loss of signal” indication.
The red LED representing that zone will flash rapidly, i.e. if zone 1 sensor is
lost, the zone 1 red LED will flash rapidly.
When the loss of signal indication occurs, move the receiver closer to the
corresponding sensor and trigger that sensor. If the red LED stops flashing
rapidly, that means the receiver or sensor needs to be relocated. If the “loss
of signal” indication persists, replace the battery of that sensor.
