TIMER-TO-CLOSE
TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)
(for model 881LMW ONLY)
DO NOT enable TTC if operating a one-piece door. TTC is to be used ONLY with sectional doors. The TTC can be set to automatically close your garage door after a specified period of time (1, 5, or 10 minute intervals). Once the TTC has been set and the door is open, the selected close interval will blink and begin to count down to close the door. The garage door opener will beep and the lights will flash before closing the door.
This feature is NOT intended to be the primary method of closing the door. A keyless entry should be installed in the event of an accidental lock out when using this feature.
Turn ON: Press and hold the ON button until one of the TTC LEDs light up.
Change the TTC Time Intervals: Press the ON button a second time to cycle
through the time interval options (the corresponding TTC LED will light for
each time interval). The garage door opener light bulbs will blink as
confirmation.
Temporarily suspend the TTC: Press and release the HOLD OPEN button. Press and
release the HOLD OPEN button again to resume normal TTC operation.
Turn OFF: Press and hold the OFF button until all TTC LEDs turn off and a beep
is heard from the garage door opener.
The TTC WILL NOT work under the following conditions:
- If the door encounters an obstruction while closing, the garage door opener will make a second attempt to close the door. If the obstruction has not been cleared after the second attempt, the garage door opener will reverse open, stop and WILL NOT close until the obstruction has been cleared.
- If the safety reversing sensors are incorrectly installed or misaligned the garage door will reverse open and WILL NOT close until the safety reversing sensors are correctly installed and aligned. When the safety reversing sensors have been aligned, the door will close when the garage door opener is activated.
- If the garage door opener is operating by battery power the TTC will not work.
