Sensor Beam6" max.above floor

Facing the door from inside the garage

INSTALLATION STEP 4Install The Protector System®

The safety reversing sensor must be connectedand aligned correctly before the garage dooropener will move in the down direction.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORWhen properly connected and aligned, the sensorwill detect an obstacle in the path of its electronicbeam. The sending eye (with an orange indicatorlight) transmits an invisible light beam to thereceiving eye (with a green indicator light). If anobstruction breaks the light beam while the door isclosing, the door will stop and reverse to full openposition, and the opener lights will flash 10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so thatthe sending and receiving eyes face each otheracross the door, no more than 6" above the floor.Either can be installed on the left or right of the dooras long as the sun never shines directly into thereceiving eye lens.

The mounting brackets are designed to clip onto thetrack of sectional garage doors without additionalhardware.

If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, thebrackets must be securely fastened to a solidsurface such as the wall framing. Extension brackets(see accessories) are available if needed. Ifinstalling in masonry construction, add a piece ofwood at each location to avoid drilling extra holes inmasonry if repositioning is necessary.

The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,hinges, rollers or other hardware) may interrupt thebeam while the door is closing.

• Be sure power is not connected to the garage dooropener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

• To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closinggarage door:– Correctly connect and align the safety reversing

sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT bedisabled.

– Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NOHIGHER than 6" above garage floor.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETSBe sure power to the opener is disconnected.Install and align the brackets so the sensors will faceeach other across the garage door, with the beam nohigher than 6" above the floor. They may be installedin one of three ways, as follows.

Garage door track installation (preferred):• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of

each door track, with the curved arms facing thedoor. Snap into place against the side of the track.It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the backedge of the track, as shown in Figure 1.

If your door track will not support the bracketsecurely, wall installation is recommended.

Wall installation: • Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms

facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearancefor the sensor beam to be unobstructed.

• If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket(see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.

• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locateand drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall ateach side of the door, no higher than 6" above thefloor.

• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws(not provided).

• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjustright and left assemblies to the same distance outfrom the mounting surface. Make sure all doorhardware obstructions are cleared.

Floor installation: • Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see

Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so thelenses will be no higher than 6" above the floor.

• Carefully measure and place right and leftassemblies at the same distance out from the wall.Be sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.

• Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

INSTALLATION STEP 6Hang the Opener

Three representative installations are shown. Yoursmay be different. Hanging brackets should be angled(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finishedceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdy metal bracket tostructural supports before installing the opener. Thisbracket and fastening hardware are not provided.

Existing brackets from a previous installation may befastened to the sides of the motor unit as inFigures 1 and 2, or to the mounting tabs as shown inFigure 3. Then continue with step 5 below.

1. Remove foam packaging. Measure the distancefrom each side of the motor unit to the structuralsupport.

2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to requiredlengths.

3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.

4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with5/16"-18x1-7/8" lag screws.

5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with5/16"-18x7/8" hex screws, lock washers and nuts.

If you wish to utilize the two center mounting tabs,you must triangulate the vertical brackets foradditional stability. See Figure 3.

6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over thedoor (or in line with the header bracket if thebracket is not centered above the door).

7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. Ifthe door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a fallinggarage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structuralsupports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be usedif installing any brackets into masonry.

INSTALLATION STEP 7Install the Door Controland Connect all WiringLocate door control within sight of door, at a minimumheight of 5 feet where small children cannot reach, awayfrom moving parts of door and door hardware. If installinginto drywall (Figure 1), drill 5/32" holes and use anchorsprovided. For pre-wired installations (as in new homeconstruction), it may be mounted to a single gang box(Figure 2). NOTE: After installation, a green indicator lightbehind the cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit,the Lock and Light features will not function (reverse wiresto correct).1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of bell wire and

connect to the two screw terminals on back of doorcontrol by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1 (Figure. 3).

2. Remove white cover by gently pushing both thumbsagainst upper corners of cover on back side of doorcontrol. Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"self-tapping screws(standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (intogang box) as follows:• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to protrude above

wall surface.• Position bottom of door control on screw head and

slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid

cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.• Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.

3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall andacross ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples tosecure wire in several places. Do not pierce wire with astaple, creating a short or open circuit. If your accessdoor is near the garage door, you may run this wire withthe Safety Reversing Sensor wires along the top of therail. See page 18.

4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor unitabove the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 4).

5. Cut excess and strip 7/16" of insulation from each end.Insert door control wire into quick-connect terminals bycolor: white wire to white, white/red wire to red.Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently toconnect to the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist likecolored wires together. Insert wires into quick-connectholes: white to white and white/black to black (Figure 4).

NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to theopener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires intoquick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.

6. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapmentwarning label to wall near door control, and manualrelease/safety reverse test label in a prominent locationon inside of garage door.

DO NOT connect power and operate opener at thistime. See Step 9 on page 22.

INSTALLATION STEP 8Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run theopener until Step 9 below.To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage dooropener has a grounding type plug with a thirdgrounding pin. This plug will only fit into a groundingtype outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet youhave, contact a qualified electrician to install theproper outlet.

If permanent wiring is required by your localcode, refer to the following procedure.To make a permanent connection through the 7/8"hole in the top of the motor unit:

• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set thecover aside.

• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on thebrass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screwon the silver terminal; and the ground wire to thegreen ground screw. The opener must begrounded.

• Reinstall the cover.

INSTALLATION STEP 9Complete the Safety ReversingSensor Installation

ALIGNING THE SAFETY SENSORSPlug in the opener. The indicator lights in both thesending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiringconnections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye orange indicator light will glowregardless of alignment or obstruction. If the greenindicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, orflickering (and the invisible light beam path is notobstructed), alignment is required:

• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and readjust,aiming directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust thesensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receivesthe sender’s beam. When the green indicator lightglows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

22

RIGHT WRONG

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH fromelectrocution or fire:• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and

disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover toestablish permanent wiring connection.

• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be incompliance with all local electrical and building codes.

• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, orchange plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be surethe opener is grounded.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow

steadily after installation, check for:

• Electric power to the opener.• A short in the white or white/black wires. These

can occur at staples, or at screw terminalconnections.

• Incorrect wiring between sensors and motor unit.• A broken wire.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily butthe receiving eye indicator light doesn't:

• Check alignment.• Check for an open wire to the receiving eye.

3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realigneither sensor.

NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed ormisaligned while the door is closing, the door willreverse. If the door is already open, it will not close.The opener lights will flash 10 times. (If bulbs are notinstalled, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 16.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1Adjust the UP and DOWN TravelLimits

Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at whichthe door will stop when moving up or down.

To operate the opener, press the Door Control pushbar. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

• Does the door open and close completely?

• Does the door stay closed and not reverseunintentionally when fully closed?

If your door passes both of these tests, no limitadjustments are necessary unless the reversing testfails (see Adjustment Step 3, page 30).

Adjustment procedures are outlined below. Read theprocedures carefully before proceeding toAdjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limitadjustments. Run the opener through a completetravel cycle after each adjustment.NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener duringadjustment procedures may cause the motor tooverheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes andtry again.

NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upwardtravel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’sdownward travel (including binding or unbalanceddoors), it will reverse.

HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE LIMITS

• If the door does not open completely but opensat least five feet:Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustmentscrew clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

• If door does not open at least 5 feet:Adjust the UP (open) force as explained inAdjustment Step 2.

• If the door does not close completely:Increase down travel. Turn the down limitadjustment screw counterclockwise. One turnequals 2" of travel.

If door still won't close completely, try lengtheningthe door arm (page 26) and decreasing the downlimit.

• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:Decrease down travel. Turn the down limitadjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2"of travel.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system,persons (particularly small children) could beSERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garagedoor.• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will

interfere with proper operation of safety reversalsystem.

• If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, theother control may also need adjustment.

• After any adjustments are made, the safety reversalsystem MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse oncontact with one-inch high object (or 2x4 laid flat) onfloor.

• If the door reverses when closing and there isno visible interference to travel cycle:If the opener lights are flashing, the SafetyReversing Sensors are either not installed,misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting,page 22.

Test the door for binding: Pull the emergencyrelease handle. Manually open and close the door.If the door is binding or unbalanced, call for atrained door systems technician. If the door isbalanced and not binding, adjust the DOWN (close)force. See Adjustment Step 2.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 2Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the backpanel of the motor unit. Force adjustment settingsregulate the amount of power required to open andclose the door.

If the forces are set too light, door travel may beinterrupted by nuisance reversals in the downdirection and stops in the up direction. Weatherconditions can affect the door movement, sooccasional adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force adjustment range is about3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controlsbeyond that point. Turn force adjustment controlswith a screwdriver.

NOTE: If anything interferes with the door’s upwardtravel, it will stop. If anything interferes with the door’sdownward travel (including binding or unbalanceddoors), it will reverse.

HOW AND WHEN TO ADJUST THE FORCES1. Test the DOWN (close) force• Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The doorshould reverse. Reversal halfway through downtravel does not guarantee reversal on a one-inchobstruction. See Adjustment Step 3, page 30.If the door is hard to hold or doesn't reverse,DECREASE the DOWN (close) force by turningthe control counterclockwise. Make smalladjustments until the door reverses normally. Aftereach adjustment, run the opener through acomplete cycle.

• If the door reverses during the down (close)cycle and the opener lights aren't flashing,INCREASE DOWN (close) force by turning thecontrol clockwise. Make small adjustments until thedoor completes a close cycle. After eachadjustment, run the opener through a completetravel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond theminimum amount required to close the door.

2. Test the UP (open) force• Grasp the door bottom when the door is about

halfway through UP (open) travel. The door shouldstop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,DECREASE UP (open) force by turning the controlcounterclockwise. Make small adjustments until thedoor stops easily and opens fully. After eachadjustment, run the opener through a completetravel cycle.

• If the door doesn’t open at least 5 feet,INCREASE UP (Open) force by turning the controlclockwise. Make small adjustments until dooropens completely. Readjust the UP limit ifnecessary. After each adjustment, run the openerthrough a complete travel cycle.

Having a Problem?

1. The opener doesn't operate from either the DoorControl or the remote control:

• Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into theoutlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuitbreaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)

• Have you disabled all door locks? Review installationinstruction warnings on page 11.

• Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The doormay be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.

• The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.• Repeated operation may have tripped the overload

protector in the motor. Wait 15 minutes and try again.

2. Opener operates from the remote, but not from theDoor Control:

• Is the door control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from themotor unit terminals. Short the red and white terminals bytouching both terminals at the same time with a piece ofwire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connectionat the door control, a short under the staples, or a brokenwire.

• Are the wiring connections correct? Review InstallationStep 7, page 21.

3. The door operates from the Door Control, but not fromthe remote control:

• Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has the Lockfeature, make sure it is off.

• Program the opener to match the remote control code.(Refer to instructions on the motor unit panel.) Repeat withall remotes.

4. The remote control has short range:• Change the location of the remote control in your car.• Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of

motor unit extends fully downward.• Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal

door, foil backed insulation, or metal garage siding.

5. Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:• If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the

opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed tominimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

6. The garage door opens and closes by itself:• Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.• Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and

operate from the remote only. If this solves the problem, thedoor control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittentshort on the wire between the door control and the motorunit.

• Clear memory and re-program all remote controls.

7. The door doesn't open completely:• Is something obstructing the door? Is it out of balance, or

are the springs broken? Remove the obstruction or repairthe door.

• If the door is in good working order but now doesn't openall the way, increase the up force. See Adjustment Step 2.

• If the door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may needto be increased. One turn equals 2 inches of travel. SeeAdjustment Step 1.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment iscomplete.

8. The door stops but doesn't close completely:• Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of doorarm length, close force or down limit.

9. The door opens but won't close:• If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor.

See Installation Step 9.• If the opener lights don’t blink and it is a new installation,

check the down force. See Adjustment Step 2, page 29. Foran existing installation, see below.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustmentis complete.

10. The door reverses for no apparent reason and openerlights don’t blink:

• Is something obstructing the door? Pull the emergencyrelease handle. Operate the door manually. If it isunbalanced or binding, call a trained door systemstechnician.

• Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where thedoor closes.

• Review Adjustment Step 2 on page 29.• If door reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the

travel limits (Adjustment Step 1).Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travellimits. The need for occasional adjustment of the force andlimit settings is normal. Weather conditions in particular canaffect door travel.

11. The door reverses for no apparent reason and openerlights blink for 5 seconds after reversing:

• Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstructionor align the receiving eye. See Installation Step 9.

12. The opener lights don't turn on:• Replace the light bulbs (100 watts maximum). Use a

standard neck garage door opener bulb if regular bulbburns out.

13. The opener lights don't turn off:• Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.

14. The opener strains or maximum force is needed tooperate door:

• The door may be out of balance or the springs may bebroken. Close the door and use the emergency releasehandle to disconnect the trolley. Open and close the doormanually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point oftravel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it doesnot, disconnect the opener and call a trained door systemstechnician. Do not increase the force to operate theopener.

15. The opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:• The garage door springs may be broken. See above.• If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener,

door may be locked. Disable the door lock.Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment iscomplete.
