  • Remove color coded wires from color push-down terminals and remove wire cord.
  • Locate the gray transfer tube at lower left corner behind the battery, pinch together colored wires and feed through tube. Reconnect wires as before to color coded terminals. Locate direction slide switch and slide towards hinges.
  • Unless specified at the time of ordering, the operator is provided in the setup for Right Hinges. If you have hinges on the Left, you will need to change the direction of the wires. (LH on invoice indicates operator is already set up for a Left Hinged door)

Electric Strike And Clutch Adjustment

Electric Strike

(Adams Rite Only)

  • If an electric strike is used, follow the instructions included in the packaging from the electric strike manufacturer to assemble the strike and install it in the door jamb.
  • To change mode from Fail Secure to Fail Safe follow instructions in the back of the strike before installing it

Strike Settings

  • Fail Safe Mode: If the strike were to fail, the latch will swing freely.
  • Fail Secure Mode: If the strike were to fail, the latch will stay locked therefore, a person would be required to turn the door knob to open the door.
  • Adam Rite 7440 Electric Strikes are provided in the “fail secure” mode which is recommended.
  • Once the electric strike is installed connect green and yellow wires to the terminal of the electric strike.

Clutch Adjustment

(Model 233 only)

Adjust force applied to door during manual door opening, as well as powered opening. Can adjust for stronger force, for increased wind resistance for outward opening door, lighter for easier opening if stronger force not needed. Simply adjust Red Ring on clutch. Rotate clockwise (as seen from above wherethe arm is attached) for increased force, CCW for decreased force. An 1/8th inch drill bit can be used to rotate the ring by placing it in one of the 6 holes along the edge.

  1. Operator will need to be on the top corner closest to the hinges
  2. Before beginning, secure door so it does not move during installation and set up your ladder/stool.OPEN-SESAME-133-Door-Opener-fig-5
  3. On the door measure 3 away from ” the hinges for Model 133 and 4” for Model 233, then create a mark. This is where the operator will need to be positioned. On the door jamb measure 13” and create a mark. This is where the middle of your arm will need to be positioned (surface that arm will be mounted on must be as vertical as possible).
  4. Once you have the measurements down, position the operator and screw into position.OPEN-SESAME-133-Door-Opener-fig-6
  5. Line up the arm with marking you did on the door jamb so that the middle of the shoe is position where the mark is, then screw into place. Do NOT mount arm shoe too high above operator because it will cause binding of joints leading to screws falling off.
  6. With the door closed, adjust the arm to 90 degrees.OPEN-SESAME-133-Door-Opener-fig-7
  7. After setting up the correct adjustment tighten the arm.
  8. Strike Connection: Connect Green and Yellow wires from phone jack to strike. Power Connection: Red & Black cables need to run from phone jack to transformer. Transformer is then plugged in to 120VAC wall outlet.OPEN-SESAME-133-Door-Opener-fig-8
  9. Plug in Strike Tester to RJ-11 phone jack to test electric strike, you should hear a buzzing sound coming from the strike (Do NOT connect any wires to this tester).

Keypad

  1. Press and release the red program button located on top of the Open Sesame unit (1 second).
  2. Within 15 seconds, enter 1234 (factory default code), 1234 is now programmed into the system.

If you want to change the 4-digit keypad code:

  1. Enter ##xxxx, where xxxx is your current 4-digit code (factory default is 1234).
  2. Enter your new 4-digit code then,
  3. Enter 1 4. Wait a few seconds
  4. Enter **

NOTE: To reset code to factory setting of “1234”, do the following:

  1. Disconnect battery
  2. While holding down any button, reconnect the battery
  3. Continue holding button for 5 seconds.

TO ERASE ALL TRANSMITTER CODES

  1. Press and then release the receiver programming button five times quickly (within 3 sec. time).
  2. The light will flash 5 times, indicating that ALL remotes have been erased from the receiver memory.

If you have problems programming, there is a green indicator light that can be observed inside the unit with the cover off, that can be used for troubleshooting. It is on the radio receiver board on back of the operator in the right side.

For programmed transmitters the following applies

The receiver light will flash 5 times, within 2 seconds when a programmed transmitter button has been pressed and released. The receiver light will continue to flash when a transmitter button has been pressed and held down. The receiver light will stop flashing when the transmitter button has been released.

For non-programmed transmitters

The receiver light will blink rapidly (10 times within 2 seconds) when a non- programmed transmitter button is pressed. The receiver light will continue to blink until the non-programmed transmitter button is released. If the radio receiver light does not flash at all when the remote control button is pushed, the first thing to suspect is a dead battery in the remote control.

Miscellaneous Remotes for Earlier 390MHz and 315MHz units – gray or purple antenna wires

If using the LiftMaster 892LT 2-Button Remote:

Note: If using this remote with older Model 100 operators (sold before Sept 2012), do an erase procedure first by holding down the Open Sesame red program button for 10 seconds. This will erase the memory of all programmed remote controls. Old remote controls may not be compatible with this remote control.

The easiest way to program this is with the cover on the Open Sesame off so you can observe the yellow indicator light on the radio receiver circuit board inside. This is the board in the back on the right side (under the Top Board).

  1. Remove the battery cover from the remote control and locate the program button (next to the battery).
  2. Press the program button on the remote until the light on the remote control turns on.
  3. Press and release the red program button on the Open Sesame door operator. The yellow light on the edge of the radio receiver circuit board will turn on and stay lit.
  4. Slowly press and release the button on the remote control you want to use repeatedly until the yellow light on the radio receiver board flickers. DO NOT push the remote control button again.
  5. Press the program button on the remote control again until the light on the remote turns off.

For the 371L, 377LMM (key-less entry pad), and other older remote controls like the 81LM, 62LM (except above listed 892LT):

  1. Locate the red button on top of the door operator and push it momentarily (1 second).
  2. Push and hold the button on the remote control for 5 seconds, or enter the 4-digit code and hold the enter button for 5 seconds (do this within 30 seconds of doing step 1. Then release and push the remote control button (or enter button) again and the door should open.

If using a LiftMaster 387LM key-less entry pad for older systems:

  1. Press * and # keys together until key-less entry pad stops flashing.
  2. Enter the 4-digit code you want to use, press #.
  3. Enter 4 ,press #. NOTE: This works with other 390MHz non-security plus “ ” remotes. If you are using it with 390MHz security plus devices like the 892LT, use the digit “2”,then #.
  4. Press and release the red programming button on the Open Sesame door operator.
  5. Enter your 4 digit code again and push the 0 key for 4 seconds within 30 seconds of step (4).
  6. To test and use, wait until light turns off, enter your 4-digit code and press the 0 key.

NOTE: The 387LM can only be used with one 4-digit code.

If you want to change the code:

  1. Enter your old code and press the key, then enter the new code and press the key.

NOTE: TO ERASE ALL OLD PROGRAMING, HOLD THE RED BUTTON DOWN FOR 10 SECONDS.
