LIFTMASTER BMT 5011E (01) PDF MANUAL

The functionality of this operator is based on the wiring type. The operator is shipped from the factory in standard C2 wiring type (factory default). Some wiring types will require an optional safety device. The LED on the logic board will blink once when in C2 and twice when in B2.

C2 WIRING TYPE WITHOUT MONITORED SAFETY DEVICE (Factory Default):

• Momentary contact to open and stop with constant pressure to close.
• Open override that reverses when closing by any opening device.
• Wiring for safety device to reverse. NOTE: The operator will automatically convert to B2 wiring (option D) when Monitored Safety Device is installed.
• Timer to Close (TTC) feature not available.

C2 WIRING TYPE WITH MONITORED SAFETY DEVICE:

• Momentary contact to open and stop with constant pressure to close.
• Open override that reverses when closing by any opening device.
• Wiring for safety device to reverse. NOTE: The operator will automatically convert to B2 wiring (option D) when Monitored Safety Device is installed.
• Timer to Close (TTC) feature not available.

B2 WIRING TYPE WITHOUT MONITORED SAFETY DEVICE (Requires programming and a non-monitored safety device):

• Momentary contact to open, close and stop.
• Open override that reverses when closing by any opening device.
• Wiring for safety device to reverse. NOTE: The operator will automatically convert to B2 wiring (option D) when Monitored Safety Device is installed.
• Timer to Close (TTC) feature not available.

B2 WIRING TYPE WITH MONITORED SAFETY DEVICE (Automatic conversion):

• Momentary contact to open, close and stop.
• Open override that reverses when closing by any opening device.
• Wiring for safety device to reverse.
• Timer to Close (TTC) feature available.

NOTE: The operator will automatically convert to B2 wiring (option D) when Monitored Safety Device is installed. If the Monitored Safety Device is removed, the operator will go into a Restricted Close mode**. Turn power OFF and ON to reset wiring type.

**Restricted Close Mode: Requires a constant pressure close command. The operator will begin closing after a 5 second delay and will continue to close to the close limit switch. The operator will stop if the pressure to close is released before reaching the close limit.

1. Remove any monitored safety devices.

2. Disconnect then reconnect power to the operator.

3. Press and hold the LEARN and STOP buttons on the Logic Board until the LED goes out (approximately 3 seconds).

To manually program for B2 wiring (when *no* monitored safety device is installed):

1. Start with the operator in the factory default C2 mode.

2. Press and hold the LEARN and CLOSE buttons on the Logic Board until the LED goes out (approximately 3 seconds).

NOTE: If a Monitored Safety Device is installed, the operator automatically converts to B2 wiring (specifically, wiring type D as described in the manual which enables TTC). No manual programming is required for this conversion.

To prevent possible SEVERE INJURY or DEATH, install reversing sensors when:

• The radio is used.
• The 3-button control station is out of sight of the door.
• Or ANY other control (automatic or manual) is used.

Reversing devices are recommended for ALL installations.

The built-in 315 MHz radio receiver permits as many as 20 Security+® remote controls or dip switch remote controls in any combination.

1. Press and release the LEARN button on the logic board (LED will light).

2. Press and hold the button on the remote control until the LED on the logic board flashes rapidly, then release to complete programming (LED will go out).

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for additional remote controls.

NOTE: This feature will use 3 of the 20 memory channels in the operator.

1. Press and hold the LEARN button on the logic board (LED will light).

2. Press the desired function button on the logic board (OPEN, CLOSE or STOP). Release both buttons.

3. Press and hold the corresponding desired button on the remote control (e.g., top button for OPEN) until the LED on the logic board flashes rapidly, then release.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to program the other buttons for the remaining functions (CLOSE, STOP).

Press and hold the LEARN button on the logic board (over 5 seconds) until the LED goes out. All programmed remote controls will be erased.

The Timer to Close (TTC) feature enables the operator to close the door automatically from the open limit after a preset time. The time is adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds.

This feature requires a LiftMaster monitored safety device (like monitored photo eyes or a monitored sensing edge) to be installed and aligned properly. It is only available in B2 wiring mode when a monitored safety device is installed (Wiring Type D).

1. Begin with the door in the fully closed position.

2. Ensure a LiftMaster monitored safety device is installed and the operator is in B2 mode (Type D).

3. Press and release the LEARN button on the logic board (LED will light).

4. Press and release the TTC button on the logic board.

5. Press and release the STOP button on the logic board to set the time. Every press and release adds 5 seconds to the timer (e.g., 6 presses = 30 seconds).

6. Press and release the TTC button again to exit programming mode.

7. The LED will flash once per 5 seconds of the timer setting (e.g., 6 flashes for 30 seconds). NOTE: The LED does not indicate that the timer is currently running, only the set duration during programming confirmation.

The TTC will become active after the completion of the next open cycle.

1. Press and release the LEARN button (LED will light).

2. Press and release the TTC button.

3. Press and release the TTC button a second time.

4. The LED will flash once per 5 seconds of the currently programmed timer setting.

1. Press and release the LEARN button (LED will light).

2. Press and hold the TTC button for 6 seconds.

3. Release the TTC button (LED will go out).

The TTC will no longer be active.

The TTC can be temporarily disabled by pressing a STOP button. TTC will become enabled after the next open command.

CAUTION: Always disconnect electric power to the operator BEFORE manually operating your door, especially for chain-operated models (MJ/MGJ/MHS), to prevent injury from a moving chain. For MT/BMT, be aware of potential door fall if springs are weak or broken; only disconnect when the door is closed if possible.

Models MT/BMT:

1. Pull the Emergency Release Handle straight down to disconnect the door arm from the trolley.
2. Manually push the door up or pull it down.
3. To reconnect: Lift the door arm towards the trolley. Pull the emergency release handle again briefly to allow the arm roll pin to engage the trolley slot. Release the handle. The disconnect will close (re-engage).

Model MH (Manual Hoist):

1. Pull the disconnect chain (sash chain) to engage the hoist mechanism. You can lock it by slipping the chain end into the keyhole on the chain retaining bracket. (This disables electrical controls via an interlock).
2. Pull one side or the other of the continuous loop hoist chain to move the door.
3. Release the disconnect chain from the bracket to operate electrically again.

Models MJ/MGJ (Floor Level Disconnect):

1. Pull the floor level disconnect chain and secure it in the disengaged position using the keyhole bracket on the wall. (Or use the emergency egress device handle if installed).
2. Manually push the door up or pull it down.
3. Release the disconnect chain from the bracket (or reset the egress device) to operate electrically again.

Model MHS (Two Manual Methods):

1. Push-up/Pull-down: Use the disconnect sash chain (usually on the hoist side) as described for MJ/MGJ models.
2. Manual Hoist: Use the hoist engagement sash chain (usually on the clutch side) as described for the MH model. Note: When disconnected via the manual operation chain, both hoist and electrical operation are disabled.

WARNING: To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH from electrocution, disconnect ALL electric power BEFORE performing ANY maintenance.

Ensure all safety instructions are understood before testing. After powering on (LED flashes 7 times), perform these tests:

• Test 3-Button Control Station: Press OPEN (door should open), press STOP (door should stop), press CLOSE (door should close). In C2 mode, releasing CLOSE should stop the door; in B2 mode, it should continue closing. Press STOP again (door should stop).
• Test Limit Adjustment: Press OPEN, let door fully open. Press CLOSE, let door fully close. If limits are not set correctly, contact your installing dealer.
• Test Safety Devices (If Installed): Open the door. Place an obstruction in the path of photo eyes or activate the sensing edge. Press CLOSE. The door should NOT close (photo eyes) or should close to the obstruction and reverse (sensing edge). Remove obstruction, press CLOSE, door should close normally. If devices don’t work correctly, check them or contact your dealer.
• Test Remote Control (Requires B2 wiring for full function): Press remote button, door should open. Let it fully open. Press remote button again, door should close (only in B2 mode; in C2, remote only opens). Let it fully close.

Repeat these tests every 3 months or 5,000 cycles as part of the maintenance schedule.

Check the following:

• No power: Check the circuit breaker.
• Accessory failure: Verify photo eyes are aligned (if installed and required by mode).
• Possible component failure: Contact your installing dealer.

The operator likely requires adjustment. Contact your installing dealer.

A safety device may have been activated. Verify photo eyes are aligned and the sensing edge path is clear. If photo eyes are aligned and the operator still does not operate properly, contact your installing dealer.

• No Response: The remote control may not be programmed. See the “PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS” section (page 4). The battery may be low; replace the battery.
• Remote Cannot Be Programmed: The battery may be low; replace the battery.
• Poor Range: The battery may be low; replace the battery. There could be possible radio interference; contact your installing dealer. Consider an external antenna accessory (page 12).

WARNING: To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH from electrocution, disconnect ALL electric power BEFORE performing ANY maintenance.

Every 3 months or 5,000 cycles, repeat all tests described in the Testing section (page 7).

Call a qualified service contractor for maintenance. The operator should be serviced at the following intervals:

• Every 3 months or 5,000 cycles
• Every 6 months or 10,000 cycles
• Every 12 months or 20,000 cycles
