INSTALLATION (CONT) Congratulations on your purchase of the Skylink® Garage Door Closer Model GT-100A. Skylink® Garage Door Closer is very easy to install, and provides you with the peace of mind you have been looking for by knowing your garage door will not be left open anymore. Skylink® Garage Door Closer consists of 2 units: Wall Console GC-433R Garage Door MonitorTM Sensor (Battery Included) Double-sided GS-101 foam tape 4 pcs 3 x 18 screws 2 pcs 3.5 x 25 screws Extension wires Wall Console does not require any battery to operate and it can replace most of the existing garage door opener’s push buttons. Garage Door Sensor is battery operated and can be mounted on to the garage door by double sided tape or screws. These 2 units operate wirelessly which simplifies the installation. Programming is very simple, you can select the time you would like the door to be closed after it has been opened. The selectable door closing times are 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 20 minutes. Before installing the Skylink® garage door closer, ensure your garage door is equipped with an external entrapment protection device, such as an infrared beam sensor which “sees” an object obstructing the door without having actual contact with the object. A Garage door opener does not have the auto reversing mechanism should be replaced by one that has the auto reversing mechanism feature and the garage door closer must not be installed on a garage door opener without this feature. Without a properly working safety reversal system, a person could be seriously injured or killed by a closing garage door. WARNING 2. INSTALLATION WARNING Unplug the power cord of your garage door opener before installation to ensure power is not connected. The installation involves 2 units: 1) Garage Door MonitorTM Sensor 2) Wall Console Garage Door MonitorTM Sensor Step 1 – Select a spot on your garage door to mount the sensor Before you install the sensor on to the garage door, make sure the garage door is closed. The sensor assembly should be mounted on one of the vertical supports of your garage door near the bottom. Remove the battery isolator When the door is closed, the detection rod should be retracted. When the door is open, the detection rod will be extended. Door closed Door open Step 2 – Mount the sensor on to your garage door You can mount the sensor on to 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 on to the garage door with 3 x 18 screws provided. 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. 4 Screws Note: Ensure you straighten up the antenna 1/2 Inch on the receiver to receive the best possible reception.
