Start – Setup SP2 & DP2
Thank you for your purchase of the Protectrix™ Automatic Garage Door
Closing Timer. This manual supports SP2, S+, DP2 and (( )) models.
Video - of how to install Protectrix is also available on our web site if you
would prefer to watch what it takes. Go to www.protectrix.com then click on
“how it works”, a video link will appear at the top right hand side called
“Installation Video for S+ and (( ))”.
Step 1 – Learn Code
A) Find your "learn" button on
the garage door opener, press the
learn button for 1 second. The
small light beside the learn button
should go on.
Test 2) Set the Delay Time to tst (1 minute) and leave your garage door
open. If the unit is not mounted to the garage door, the Protectrix unit must
face down for the timer to start the countdown!
An alarm (blinking light and beeping sound) will start after 1 minute; the
alarm will continue for 30 seconds, then the garage door should close. If the
garage door does not close retry Test 1 again.
Warning! Test that Protectrix works on your garage door before depending
on it, not testing it could mean your garage door will never close
automatically.
Step 3 – Adjust Delay Time
B) Next press the TEST SWITCH button on the front of Protectrix™. You
may need to press TEST SWITCH two to three additional times. The garage
light likely will turn off or blink and the small learn light on the garage door
opener should flash or go off also.
Protectrix will beep and blink.
Protectrix is now programmed and
can open and close your garage
door.
On the front of Protectrix turn the
knob1 to the desired number of
minutes that you would like
Protectrix to wait2 before trying to
close the garage door.
If you select 5m (3) that is 5
minutes, a setting of 1hr (7) would wait 1 hour before trying to close the door.
You can turn the system off by selecting Off (0) for the delay time.

The window on the dial points to the delay time.
The maximum possible delay time is 4 hours.
Test 1) Press the test button on the
front of Protectrix, your garage door should open and close your garage door.
Try 5 times, if this does not occur each time, either a) the remote has not been
programmed correctly (repeat step 1), b) your opener is not supported, c) the
remote lock switch is on (this may be next to the switch you use to open your
garage door from inside your garage).
Step 2 – Install
a) Pick an area on the upper part of the Garage Door as shown in Diagram B
to install Protectrix.
Want Garage Door to Stay Open?
If you would like to leave your garage door open without Protectrix closing
the door on you, you can disable it in one of two easy ways:
a) Turn the delay switch on the front of Protectrix to off (0), although
we recommend turning it to 4hr (9) just in case you forget to turn it
back on again.
b) Turn ON the Lock Switch on your garage door switch. It is usually
mounted inside your garage on the wall. Protectrix will still set off
an alarm after the set delay time and every delay time after that but
it will not be able to close the door.
Alarms
- If the unit beeps once every few minutes the Battery is Low. If the unit
beeps two or more times every few minutes the unit is defective and should be
repaired or replaced.
Protectrix
- When the unit is mounted to the garage door and the door is closed, pressing
the test switch should make the unit beep once. The unit should beep twice if
the garage door is open. If the unit beeps one less beeps than it is supposed to
the battery may be low.
Diagram B: Installation location of Protectrix
b) Secure Protectrix to the garage door; screw the back half of the case to the
garage door with two screws. If
you do not want to use screws, you
can use double-sided tape and
apply it to the back of Protectrix
then stick Protectrix to the garage
door but ensure that the doublesided tape is securely attached to
the garage door .
Testing Regularly
Protectrix requires a 9-volt alkaline battery (included). Protectrix™ should be
tested once a month. Leave the garage door open and wait for the set delay
time for the timer to close the garage.
Caution! If Protectrix™ falls or releases from the garage door, Protectrix™
may inadvertently open the garage door, or never try to close the garage
door. Ensure Protectrix is firmly attached!

every minute if the battery is low.

have those features do not use Protectrix!

pressing the button on your garage door remote; it can open your
garage door, be careful not to press the button unexpectedly.

garage door opener or if something is blocking the garage door from
closing!
