Safety Reverse 



In the event that the garage door encounters a sufficient obstruction during a close cycle the AGDO will 
immediately stop and then begin to reverse direction. (Safety Reverse) The degree of Safety Reverse may be 
selected as follows; 

a.

Full Safety Reverse

 – the AGDO will reverse to the fully open position. (Not available with battery 

powered AGDO) 

b.

Partial Safety Reverse

 – the AGDO will reverse and then stop after 3 sec. Partial Safety Reverse 

ensures that the garage door does not open fully and thereby present an unwanted security risk. Upon 
receiving a Signal immediately subsequent to partial Safety Reverse the AGDO will recommence 
movement in the open direction.
