Using Your Garage Door Opener

Your garage door opener has already been programmed at the factory to operate with your remote control, which changes with each use, randomly accessing over 100 billion new codes.

The garage door opener can be activated through a wall-mounted door control, remote control, wireless keypad or myQ accessory. When the door is closed and the garage door opener is activated the door will open. lf the door senses an obstruction or is interrupted while opening, the door will stop. When the door is in any position other than closed and the garage door opener is activated, the door will close. If the garage door opener senses an obstruction while closing, the door will reverse. If the obstruction interrupts the sensor beam, the garage door opener lights will blink 10 times. However, you can close the door if you hold the button on the door control or keypad until the door is fully closed. The safety reversing sensors do not affect the opening cycle. The safety reversing sensor must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

My remote control will not activate the garage door:

  • Verify the lock feature is not activated on the door control.
  • Reprogram the remote control. the remote control will still not activate the door check the diagnostic codes to ensure the garage door opener is working properly.

The remote control has short range:

  • Change the location of the remote control in your car.

Chamberlain RJO20 Questions and Answers


#1 Does it come with a sensor that mounts on the wall by the drum on the garage door that senses slack in the cable on the garage door?

It does not come with a sensor that attaches to the wall, that senses slack on the cable. It does include a cable tension monitor.

#2 My torsion bar is slightly higher in the center than the ends.
Will the unit have to be perpendicular to the end which makes it slightly not vertical?

As long as the torsion bar extends at least 1-1/2 inches (3.81 cm) past bearing plate and be free of damage.

#3 Will Alexa operate the door?

It does not work with Alexa

#4 I get that the rollers pull the garage door from the bottom to raise the door. What makes the door go back down? The pull wire would just unravel?

The RJO20 connects to the torsion bar of the garage door. The RJO20 turns the torsion bar to open & close the garage door. If the cables of the garage door are unraveling I would highly recommend the garage door be serviced by a Garage Door Technician as this would be a safety hazard.
