Adjustment

1. Identify Door Profile
To identify the door profile number, measure the full drum diameter based on the images below.

NOTE: This step is important to ensure the proper operation of the unit.
To view a video demonstration of how to identify and set the door profile, scan the QR code.

https://smart.link/0v2f3a6vd6b6o?device_id=&qr_code=true&site_id=liftmaster

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, follow instructions to select and set door profile for safe and proper operation.

Standard Lift Sectional Door

• Door Profile 1 = Standard to Heavy Weight Door* with a 4″ drum (Recommended).

• Door Profile 2 = Light Weight Door with a 4″ drum.

• Door Profile 3 = Heavy Weight Door* with a 6″ drum.

• Door Profile 4 = Light Weight Door with a 6″ drum.
  *NOTE: Drum sizes may vary by manufacturer.
  For Standard Lift Sectional Doors:

• Drums less than or equal to 5″, use 4″ drum.

• Drums more than 5″, use 6″ drum.
  If unsure about door weight, choose:
  Door Profile 1 for a 4″ drum.
  Door Profile 3 for a 6″ drum.

High Lift Door

• Door Profile 5 = Tapered drum with rails that raise to a higher elevation

Vertical Lift Sectional Door

• Door Profile 5 = Tapered Drum with rails raising vertically above the opening.

2. Set Door Profile

1. To enter Set Door Profile mode, press and hold the black button for one second. The UP and DOWN buttons turn a solid color.
2. To set Door Profile, press the UP and DOWN buttons. The Learn LED button blinks and beeps as you change the setting.
3. The number of Learn LED button blinks indicates which profile you have selected. There is no preset door profile setting.
4. Press and release the Black button to set the Door Profile. This process is now complete. Proceed to the Travel Learn mode.

EXITING DOOR PROFILE NUMBER SETTING
If there is no selection within 4.5 minutes, the Door Profile selection mode will be cancelled with a long beep.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, after ANY changes to the door profile, reprogram limits.

3. Program the Travel

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on floor.

NOTE: While programming the travel, the UP and DOWN buttons can be used to move the door as needed. During the Automatic Force Setup, the door will automatically open and close.

1. Press and hold the Adjustment Button until the UP Button begins to flash and/or a beep is heard. The Safety Reversing Sensors will be disconnected during the Program the Travel process.
2. Press and hold the UP Button until the door is in the desired UP position.
3. Once the door is in the desired UP position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice and the DOWN Button will begin to flash.
4. Press and hold the DOWN Button until the door is in the desired DOWN position.
5. Once the door is in the desired DOWN position press and release the Adjustment Button. The garage door opener lights will flash twice. Program the Travel is now complete.
   If the garage door opener lights flash 5 times, then programming has timed out and the Travel Limits have not been set. Please restart the Program the Travel process.

4. Automatic Force Set Up
Once both the up and down positions have been manually set, the Safety Reversing Sensors will reconnect and become operational. Then, the opener will enter a force-sensing operation by automatically moving the door open and close. The garage door opener will sound an audible and visual alert before automatically opening and closing the door. The garage door opener will beep three times, confirming that the Automatic Force Setup completed successfully. Adjustment is complete.
If you hear one long beep after the door attempts to move, then the Automatic Force Set Up has not completed successfully. Please start over at step 1 of Program the Travel.

5. Test the Safety Reversal System

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2″ high (3.8 cm) high object (or 2×4 laid flat) on the floor.

1. With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2 inch (3.8 cm) board (or a 2×4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.
2. Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door MUST reverse when it makes contact with the board.

If the door stops but does not reverse:

1. Repeat Program the Travel (see Adjustment Step 1);
2. Repeat the Safety Reversal test.

If the test continues to fail, call a trained door systems technician.

The garage door opener will not close from a remote control if the LED in either safety reversing sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
If the garage door opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more than 6 inches [15 cm] above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.

7. Test the Power Door Lock

1. With the door fully closed, check to ensure that the power lock bolt is visible protruding through the track.
2. Press the button on the remote control to open the garage door. The power door lock should retract before the door begins to move.
3. Press the button on the remote control to close the garage door. When the door reaches the fully closed position, the power door lock should automatically activate to secure the door.
   NOTE: The power door lock can be manually released by sliding the manual release handle to the open position. However, if the power door lock does not function, contact Chamberlain for a replacement.

Additional Troubleshooting
The garage door opener doesn’t operate from either the door control or the remote control:

• Does the garage door opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn’t light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 8.
• Are the wiring connections correct? Review Installation Step 5.
• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced (see page 3 for reference).

The door opener operates from the single button control station, but not from a remote control:

• Reprogram the remote control and replace the battery if necessary. Repeat with all remote controls.

The door opens and closes by itself:

• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.
• Remove the bell wire from the single button control station terminals and operate from the remote only. If this solves the problem, the single button control station is faulty, or there is an intermittent short in the wire. Replace the control station.
• Erase the memory and reprogram all remote controls (refer to the instructions provided with the remote control or visit support.chamberlaingroup.com).

My remote control will not activate the garage door:

• Verify the lock feature is not activated on the door control.
• Reprogram the remote control.
• If the remote control will still not activate the door check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener is working properly.

The remote control has short range:

• Change the location of the remote control in your car.
• Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.

The door stops or reverses to open limit and the opener beeps and lights flash 5 times:

• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or call a trained door system technician to repair the door.

The door doesn’t open completely:

• Check power door lock.

The door opens but won’t close:

• The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the door opener will move in the down direction. If you are able to close the door using constant pressure, verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions (see page 13).

The door reverses for no apparent reason:

• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
• Review Adjustment Step 1.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.

My door will not close:

• The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.
  – Verify the safety reversing sensors are properly installed, aligned and free of any obstructions.

The garage door opener strains to operate door:

• The door may be out of balance or the springs may be broken. Close the door and use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. Open and close the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not, disconnect the garage door opener and call a trained door systems technician.

The garage door opener motor hums briefly, then won’t work:

• The garage door springs may be broken. See above.
• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the garage door opener, door may be locked. Disable the power door lock.

The garage door opener won’t operate due to power failure:

• Manually open the power door lock.
• Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored, pull manual release a second time.
• When in Battery Backup mode, the opener should be able to operate up to 20 times.
• Disable any door locks. Use the emergency release handle to disconnect the door. The door can be opened and closed manually. When power is restored, pull manual release a second time.
• When in battery backup mode, battery power will last for 30 hours or up to 20 cycles over a 24 hour period.

Door loses limits:

• Collar not tightened securely. Tighten collar and reprogram limits (see Adjustment Step 3).

The garage door opener moves when the door is in operation:

• Some minor movement is normal for this product. If it is excessive the collar will wear prematurely.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not moving left/right excessively.
• Check to make sure the torsion bar is not visibly moving up and down as it rotates.
• Check that the opener is mounted at a right angle to the jackshaft. If not, move the position of the mounting bracket.

Automatic door lock connector will not fit the door opener plug:
Older model 24V door locks are incompatible. Use automatic door lock model 841LM, see Accessories page.
Automatic garage door lock does not activate when garage door opens or closes:
In battery backup mode, the automatic garage door lock will unlock when the garage door is opened, and will remain disabled until power is restored.

The door opener is beeping:

• Indicates unattended closure. The opener has been activated by the myQ App or the Garage and Gate Monitor.
• A solid orange LED with beep, sounding approximately every 2 seconds, indicates the door opener is operating on battery power.
• A blinking orange LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates the battery is low.
• A solid red LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates the 12V battery will no longer hold a charge and needs to be replaced.

The garage door is beeping and the red LED is blinking:
The battery charge is low or the battery is dead.

Automatic Garage Door Opener Safety & Maintenance Guide

Garage Door Opener Safety – An Automatic Decision
A garage door is the largest moving object in the home. An improperly adjusted garage door and opener can exert deadly force when the door closes – which could lead to entrapment of children or adults and subsequent injury or death.
Proper installation, operation, maintenance, and testing of the garage door and automatic opener are necessary to provide a safe, trouble-free system.
Careless operation or allowing children to play with or use garage door opener controls are also dangerous situations that can lead to tragic results. A few simple precautions can protect your family and friends from potential harm.
Please review the safety and maintenance tips in this brochure carefully and keep it for reference. Check the operation of your garage door and opener to ensure they function in a safe and trouble-free manner.
Be sure to read all Important Safety Information found in your garage door opener’s manual as it provides more details and safety considerations than can be supplied with this brochure.

Garage Door Openers are Not Toys
Discuss garage door and opener safety with your children. Explain the danger of being trapped under the door.

Stay away from a moving door.

Keep transmitters and remote controls out of reach of children. Do not let children play with or use transmitters or other remote control devices.

The wall-mounted push button should be out of reach of children, at least 5 feet from the nearest standing surface and away from all moving parts. Mount and use the button where you can clearly see the closing garage door.

Keep the door in sight until it completely closes when using the wall-mounted push button or transmitter.

Routine Maintenance Can Prevent Tragedies
Make monthly inspection and testing of your garage door and opener system a part of your regular routine.
Review your owner’s manual for both the door and door opener. If you don’t have the owner’s manuals, contact the manufacturer(s) and request a copy for your specific model(s). Look for the opener model number on the back of the power unit.

WARNING – Springs are under high tension.
Only qualified individuals should adjust them.

Visually check the door and installation:

• Starting with the door in the closed position, use the manual disconnect on the opener to disconnect the door.
• Look for signs of wear or damage on hinges, rollers, springs, and door panels.
• These parts may require periodic lubrication. Check the owner’s manual for suggested maintenance.
• If any signs of damage are evident, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
• Verify the photoeye height is no higher than 6″ from the garage floor.

Test the door for proper operation:

• Open and close the door manually using handles or suitable gripping points.
• The door should move freely and without difficulty.
• The door should balance and stay partially open 3–4 feet above the floor.
• If you detect any signs of improper operation, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.

Test the opener safety features:

• Reconnect the opener to the door using the manual disconnect and open the door.
• Place a 2×4 board flat in the path of the door (1) and try to close it (2). The door should stop when it comes in contact with the 2×4 and then reverse direction.
• Block the photoelectric sensor by waving an object in front of the sensor and attempt to close the door. The door should not close unless the wall-mounted push button is manually held during operation.
• If the opener does not perform as described, contact a trained door systems technician for assistance.
