Your operator and hand-held remote control have been factory-set to a matching code which changes with each use, randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes. Your operator will operate with up to eight remote controls and one Keyless Entry System. If you purchase a new remote, or if you wish to deactivate any remote, follow the instructions in the Programming section.

Activate your operator with any of the following:

  • The hand-held Remote Control: Hold top middle button down until the door starts to move.
  • The wireless wall control 128LM press and hold the large round button down until the door starts to move.
  • The Keyless Entry (See Accessories): If provided with your door operator, it must be programmed before use. See Programming.

When the operator is activated (with the safety reversing sensor correctly installed and aligned)

  1. If open, the door will close. If closed, it will open.
  2. If closing, the door will reverse.
  3. If opening, the door will stop.
  4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open position, it will close.
  5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the operator wil click for five seconds.
  6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
  7. If fully open, the door will not close when the beam is broken. The sensor has no effect in the opening cycle.

If the sensor is not installed, or is misaligned, the door won't close from a hand-held remote. However, you can close the door with the Door Control, the Outside Keylock, or Keyless Entry, if you activate them until down travel is complete. If you release them too soon, the door will reverse.

Automatic Close Timer Function

Note: Requires the Chamberlain Protector System (IR-sensors) to be installed. If Protector System (IR-sensors) is installed only to enable the timer to close function (first time), install Sensors close to garage door and wait for 5 minutes.

A Multi-function Door Control (78LM) is required to enable and disable the auto-close function.

Enable: Push and hold lock button on the Multi-function Door Control until the electric lock toggled twice. At the same time watch the LED light in the center of the actuator button from the Multi-function Door Control.

1x blink 10 seconds Auto-Close

2x blink 45 seconds Auto-Close

3x blink 2 minutes Auto-Close

4x blink 3 minutes Auto-Close

5x blink OFF Auto-Close

Factory setting is OFF. Repeat the procedure until the Multi-function Door Control shows the required number of blinks.

WARNING

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

  • NEVER allow small children near batteries.
  • If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. The operator doesn't operate from either the Door Control or the remote control:

  2. Does the operator 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.)

  3. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings.
  4. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.
  5. The door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.

  6. Opener operates from the remote, but not from the Wireless Wall Control:

  7. Check the LED on the Wall Control to ensure the LED turns on when button is pushed. If the LED is weak or not on Change the batteries. (Remove cover and replace with correct batteries)

  8. If the LED turns on and is strong check to ensure the unit is programmed into the unit.

  9. The door operates from the Door Control, but not from the remote control:

  10. Is the door push bar flashing? If so, Lock mode is engaged. Make sure it is off by pressing the Lock button for two seconds.

  11. Program the operator to match the remote control code. (Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat with all Remote.

  12. The remote control has short range:

  13. Change the location of the remote control in your car.

  14. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of motor unit extends fully downward.
  15. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or metal siding.

  16. The door opens and closes by itself:

  17. Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.

  18. Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote only. If this solves the problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittent short on the wire between the control console and the motor unit.
  19. Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.

  20. The door doesn't open completely:

  21. Check power door lock.
    Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

  22. The door opens but won't close:

  23. Check cable tension monitor (see installation step 4).

  24. If the operator clicks, check the safety reversing sensor. See Installation Step 9.
    If the operator does not click and it is a new installation. See Adjustment Step 2. For an existing installation, see below.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

  1. The door reverses for no apparent reason and operator LED doesn't blink:

  2. Check cable tension monitor (see installation step 4).

  3. Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergency release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call a trained door systems technician.
    Clear any ice or snow from the floor area where the door closes.
    Review Adjustment Step 2.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments.

  1. The door reverses for no apparent reason and operator LED blinks for 5 seconds after reversing:
  2. Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye.
  3. The operator strains to operate door:
  4. 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 operator and call a trained door systems technician.

  5. The operator motor hums briefly, then won't work:

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

  1. The operator won't operate due to power failure:

  2. Manually open the power door lock.

  3. 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.
    If an EverCharge Unit is connected, the operator should be able to operate up to 20 times without power.

  4. Door loses limits.

  5. Collar not tightened securely. Tighten collar (see Assembly Steps 1 and 2) and reprogram limits (see Adjustment Step 1).

  6. The operator moves when the door is in operation:

  7. Some minor movement is normal for this product. If it is excessive the collar will wear prematurely.

  8. Check to make sure the torsion bar is not moving left/right excessively.
  9. Check to make sure the torsion bar is not visibly moving up and down as it rotates.
  10. Check that the operator is mounted at a right angle to the jackshaft. If not, move the position of the mounting bracket.

  11. Power lock makes noise when operating.

Call Chamberlain-Liftmaster dealer for replacement power lock.
