Can the opener be disengaged from the garage door so the door can be opened if the motor fails. power goes out, etc...

Sure, there is a disengagement rope under the motor. You have to be inside the garage to release the opener. Not unlike a 'normal' garage door opener.
1430427
Yes, there is a cord, when pulled, releases the opener. Best openers I've ever seen. I installed two.
1430428
Yes, it has a cord you can pull to manually operate the door should the power go out or a motor malfunction.
1430429
Yes it has release lever attached to a string to pull like a regular track opener has

Quite easily. The automatic locking feature can be easily retracted (just like a deadbolt in a door), and the manual feature with the opener requires only a tug on the provided rope. You can also purchase a battery backup to open the door when the power is out. It's an excellent system.

The motor has a pull string that frees the shaft and allows manual movement of the door. The unit does have an available battery backup as well.
1430432
Yes. It has a little cord that hangs down from the unit just like a track opener. You pull it to disengage - manually open the door/manually close the door and then re-engage it by cycling the opener until it finds the catch, again, just like a track opener. The nice thing about this release cord is it hangs down from the opener itself, next to the wall unlike the track openers that annoy you by hanging down in the middle of the stall if the door is open.
1430433
Yes. There is allowance for this by means of a rope you can pull on. The same as any other opener type

The will depend on the timer (not included with the motor) as the door opener can cycle open or closed as often as every minute. You have to provide a timer capable of the number of opening and closings required. Also, it is easy to add a manual switch to open or closed if needed at times not programmed into the timer. Hope this helps.

If your power goes out, my guess would be that the door would have to be opened manually from the inside by pulling the emergency rope. I suggest you not use an electric opener if a power outage would keep you locked out.

This is the motor only. It will open and close as many times as you care cycle the power per day. You will need to buy a timer or controller to do this. See the bullet in the description: "Plug-in ready to your timer switch or X-10 controller. (Not included)". Of course, you can manually plug and unplug it to cycle the power as many times per day as you care to also. An example, <Power ON> motor moves line up, <Power Off> Motor on "standby", <Power ON> motor moves line down..... etc.

The bracket will eventually break. Make sure that the door is free moving when disengaged from the garage door opener. I would check and see if the bracket is bent or broken and replace it if necessary. You will have to drill new mounting holes.

I had someone install this for me, but I think to answer your question - yes... once you put in the key and turn it to open the garage, the switch will automatically move to its original position then you can remove the key.

if you split the electrical output from the unit and run an electrical wire in to each garage opener I see no reason why it would not work. however both garage doors will open and close simultaneously, with each push. if that is what you are looking for then yes, it will control both doors as if they were one unit. hope this helps

I have worried about the same. There is no known way, that I am aware of, to set up a standard garage door opener (Chamberlain, Sears, etc.) to not have a remote open it. The system is not smart enough to tell differences between remotes. Bottom line is that you will need to hide your remote. That's my experience and if someone else has figured out a way using a standard system, I would be happy to know it.

to disable the opener so the radio unit will not open door. I use it when I vacation so the door cannot be opened by a remote unit.

Yes...as far as I know. However, if you look at the opener you should see 2 ports on the garage door side with one saying network. If you don't have that it's definitely not going to work.

It required a ladder to reach the motor unit. I remove the light cover on the right side. (I was facing my garage door and the motor unit was in front of me.) Behind the cover was a yellow button. I pressed and held the large button on the remote and the pushed the yellow button on the motor unit. It flashed and then the garage door began to open. I then used the large button on the remote and the garage door closed. That was it and it has worked properly ever since.

I would recommend calling the company to ask. I only have one opener in use.

No, the opener will still not function due to the lack of light sensor. But you can buy replacements at Lowes on the cheap

Actually, It works great from inside the house. I use mine to shut off my garage door opener when I leave the house. I works great from my car.

It requires a liftmaster 371LM 315MHz Garage Door Remote, which is a roaming code. It generates a signal to your gate operator to open. It is up to your gate control to close. As to stop, I do not know.

Yes it would it works separate from the garage door opener. Part of the unit attaches to the garage door. When the door goes up the unit activates that the door is open. There actually are two parts to the system the sending unit and a receiver that indicates when the door is open or closed.

Battery should have been charged already..if u unplug the opener, does it work off the battery?
