Setup and Installation:

  • Program: The same as programming a new garage door remote.
  • Install: Screw or stick Protectrix to the inside or your garage door.
  • Set Delay: Adjust Delay Timer to prefered amount of time before garage door closes.

Protectrix™ Works as Follows:

  • Running on a 9V battery, and using an internal tilt sensor, Protectrix™ detects when the garage door is open
  • When the garage door is open for too long (variable 1 minute to 4 hours), Protectrix™ sets off a Beep and a flash.
  • If the garage door is not closed before the alarm ends (30 seconds), Protectrix™ sends a signal to your garage door opener to close the garage (the signal sent is the same as the signal sent from your garage door remote control)

Features:

  • Requires NO wiring, and installs in only 5 minutes.
  • Can be easily disabled by turning the DELAY setting to Off.
  • DELAY settings from 1 minute to 4 hours.
  • Works with all existing sensors in your garage, such as the beam and force sensors built into most garage door openers.
  • Alarm periodically beeps and flashes when battery is low.
