NOTICE
THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT
COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND
SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING
ITS USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT
COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE
EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTAL-
LING, MAINTAINING AND OPERATING
THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO
NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY
OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED
PURPOSE - OPERATING OVERHEAD
GARAGE DOORS.
STANDARD FEATURES:
Sensing System: A built-in sensing system detects
obstructions during door operation. If in the downward (close)
travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse
the direction of the door. In the open mode, the Opener will
stop. Since all doors are different, the Sensing System has
independent adjustments for customizing the level of force
required for the normal opening and closing of specified doors.
( Page 18)
Close Limit Switch: In winter months it's common for
small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the
door. Ground swelling can also effect the close limit setting of
the Opener. Allstar's Close Limit Switch overrides the Sensing
System during the last one inch of closing travel and prevents
the door from reversing if it encounters an obstruction at this
point.
Emergency Release: A pull cord allows separation of the
drive mechanism and manual operation of the door when
desired, as in the event of a power failure. (Page z 11)
Automatic Reconnection: Once power is restored, or
automatic operation of the door is again desired, initiating
operation in the normal manner (Push Button, Radio Control,
etc.) will effect automatic reconnection of the Emergency
Release Mechanism. (Page 11)
Connections For Continuously Monitored
Auxiliary Entrapment Protection Devices: The
Allstar All-Clear™ Photosystem (light beam across the
door opening) can be easily connected to the Opener.
Control circuitry monitors the device continuously for
proper operation. (Page 20) Consult the factory for
compatibility of other auxiliary entrapment protection
devices.
Constant Contact To Close: For utmost safety, the
standard operation mode requires constant contact on the
mechanical Push Button to close the door if an Auxiliary
Entrapment Protection Device (see above) IS NOT
installed or if the Device fails. In this mode of
operation, a Radio Transmitter cannot be used to close
the door. (Page 13 & 14)
Momentary Contact To Close: After installing an
Allstar Access All-Clear™ Photosystem Auxiliary
Entrapment Protection Device the close operation mode
is automatically converted to momentary contact of the
mechanical Push Button, and a portable Radio
Transmitter can be used to close the door. (Page Z 16)
A ll-Clear™ Photosystem: An invisible infra-red
beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a
downward moving door if the beam is broken by a
stationary or moving object. Allstar motor control
circuitry constantly monitors the All-Clear Photosystem
for proper operation.
OPTIONAL FEATURES:
Digital Radio Controls: All Openers covered in this
Manual can be fitted with optional Allstar Radio
Controls. Up to 19,683 private codes can be easily
selected without use of tools. Bright transmitter LED's
indicate operation and monitor battery condition.

Deluxe Wall Push Button Station: A
feature-packed accessory unit, Allstar's Deluxe Wall
Push Button Station allows access to all of the Opener's
functions. The Opener's built-in light can be turned on
or off independent of door operation. A Vacation
Switch allows the Opener to be deactivated for extended
periods of time. Lighted Push Buttons enhance
nighttime use. (Page 16)
Keyless Entry System: A tamper resistant outdoor
keypad, the optional Allstar Plus Keyless Entry System
features 10 Billion possible security codes. Easily
programmable, it accommodates two separate access
codes of 3-10 digits. Lighted Buttons enhance nighttime
use.
