Identify the type and height of your garage door
Survey your garage area to see if any of the
conditions below apply to your installation. Additional
materials may be required. You may find it helpful to
refer back to this page and the accompanying
illustrations as you proceed with the installation of
your opener.

Depending on your requirements, there are several
installation steps which may call for materials and/or
hardware not included in the carton.

• Installation Step 1 – Look at the wall or ceiling
above the garage door. The header bracket must
be securely fastened to structural supports.

• Installation Step 5 – Do you have a finished ceiling
in your garage? If so, a support bracket and
additional fastening hardware may be required.

B&D recommends the use of safety infrared
reversing sensors on all installations of
automatic garage door openers.

• Installation Step 10:
– Depending upon garage construction, extension

brackets or wood blocks may be needed to
install the infrared safety sensors.

– Alternate floor mounting of the infrared safety

sensors will require hardware not provided.

Sectional Door Installation

.

• Do you have an access door in addition to the
garage door? If not, Model T7012 Emergency
Access Device is required.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fibreglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforce
ment is required (Installation Step 11).

• The opener is normally installed at the centre of
the door. If there is a torsion spring or centre
bearing plate in the way of the header bracket or
door bracket area, the opener may be installed
within 300mm to the left or right of the door centre.
See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. It
must close on the floor all the way across.
Otherwise, the safety reverse system may not work
properly. See Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door
should be repaired.

OPENER ARM MOUNTING LOCATION

Must be mounted on a stile. Add an additional stile if
required or offset mount the opener (see below and
page 5). Attach arm 1/3 panel height from top at 10
as shown.

In situations where obstruction prevent mounting the
opener centrally, offsetting the opener attachment is
possible within the following range -

1/4 Door width

from centre.

NOTE: Even though it is acceptable practise to off
centre mount the opener, the further off centre the
opener is mounted the more dependent is the door
operation on a good installation. This relates to
correct set-up of opener and track, and correct door
balance.

The installation of the IR Safety Sensor is
recommended for an off centre mount application.

ONE-PIECE DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Generally, a one-piece door does not require
reinforcement. If your door is lightweight, you can
refer to the information relating to sectional doors
in Installation Step 11.

Depending on your door’s construction, you may

•

need additional mounting hardware for the door

bracket (Step 11).

• The gap between the bottom of the garage door
and the floor cannot exceed 6mm. Otherwise, the
safety reverse system may not work properly. See
Adjustment Step 3. The floor or the door should be
repaired.

the opener to this height.

• The top of the door should be level with the top of

the motor unit. Do not position the opener more
than 50mm above this point.

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling
garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural
supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be used
if installing any brackets into masonry.

INSTALLATION STEP 5

Hang the Opener

The opener must be securely fastened to a
structural support of the garage.

Two representative installations are shown. Yours may
be different. Hanging brackets should be angled
(Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished ceilings,
(Figure 2) attach a sturdy metal bracket (not supplied)
to a structural support before installing the opener.

1. On each side of opener measure the distance from
the opener to the structural support (or ceiling).

2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required
lengths. Flatten one end of each bracket and bend
or twist to fit the fastening angles. Do not bend at
the bracket holes. Drill 4.5mm (3/16") pilot holes in
the structural supports (or ceiling). Attach flattened
ends of brackets to supports with wood screws.

3. Lift opener and fasten to hanging brackets with
screw, lock washer and nut. Check to make sure
rail is centered over the door.

4. Remove 25mm (1") board. Operate door manually.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Install the Safety Infrared
Reversing Sensors (Optional)

It is recommended that safety infrared reversing
sensors be connected and aligned correctly to
the garage door opener.

The force, as measured on the closing edge of
the door, should not exceed 400N (40kg). If the
closing force is adjusted to more than 400N, this
safety system must be installed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

When properly connected and aligned, the safety
infrared reversing sensors will detect an obstacle in
the path of its electronic beam. The sending eye
transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door
is closing, the door will stop and reverse to full open
position, and the opener light will flash 10 times.

The units must be installed inside the garage so that
the sending and receiving eyes face each other
across the door, between 100-150mm above the
floor. Either can be installed on the left or right of the
door as long as the sun never shines directly into the
receiving eye lens.

The brackets must be securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the wall framing. If installing in
masonry construction, add a piece of wood at each
location to avoid drilling extra holes in masonry 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 the
beam while the door is closing.

Facing the door from inside the garage

Note: This operator

, when used with safety reversing
sensor 062153, meets product standard
requirements for a monitored sensor system.

If the operator detects that the safety sensors no
longer function properly, the operator will not close
until the sensor continuity has been returned.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Fasten the Door Bracket

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as
illustrated below or on the following page.

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long
enough to be secured to two or three vertical
supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should
cover the height of the top panel.

Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the
horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, two pieces of
angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support.
The best solution is to check with your garage door
manufacturer for an opener installation door
reinforcement kit.

NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for
direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In
this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed
to Step 12.

SECTIONAL DOORS

1. Centre the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centreline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as
stamped inside the bracket.

2. Position the top edge of the bracket 50mm ­100mm (2"-4") below the top edge of the door, OR
directly below any structural support across the top
of the door.

3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending
on your door’s construction:

Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle
iron brace between the door panel support and
the door bracket:

• Drill 4.5mm (3/16") fastening holes. Secure the
door bracket using the two 8mm x 13mm (1/4"­14x5/8") self-threading screws. (Figure 2A)

• Alternately, use two 8mm (5/16") bolts, lock
washers and nuts. (Figure 2B)

Adjustment Procedures for One-Piece Doors

On one-piece doors, before connecting the door arm
to the trolley, the travel limits must be adjusted. Limit
adjustment screws are located on the left side panel
as shown on page 25. Follow adjustment procedures
below.

A. Open Door Adjustment: Decrease UP

Travel Limit

• Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter­clockwise 4 1/2 turns.

• Press the Remote Control transmitter button. The
trolley will travel to the fully open position.

• Manually raise the door to the open position
(parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to the
trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in
back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the
fully open trolley/door arm positions in the
illustration. If the arm does not extend far enough,
adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 50mm
of trolley travel.

B. Closed Door Adjustment: Decrease DOWN

Travel Limit

• Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise
4 complete turns.

• Press the Remote Control transmitter button. The
trolley will travel to the fully closed position.

• Manually close the door and lift the door arm to the
trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just ahead
of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully
closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration.
If the arm is behind the connector hole, adjust the
limit further. One full turn equals 50mm of trolley
travel.

Connect the door arm to the trolley.

• Close the door and join the curved arm to the
connector hole in the trolley with the remaining
clevis pin. It may be necessary to lift the door
slightly to make the connection.

• Secure with a ring fastener.

• Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. If
the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open
position as shown in the illustration, decrease the
UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.

NOTE: When setting the up limit on the following
page, the door should not have a "backward" slant
when fully open as illustrated below. A slight
backward slant will cause unnecessary bucking
and/or jerking operation as the door is being opened
or closed from the fully open position.

5. If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or
broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an
open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

6. NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

7. NEVER use handle to pull garage door open or closed. If
rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.

8. If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the
other control may also need adjustment.

9. After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal
system MUST be tested.

10. Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.
Garage door MUST reverse on contact with 40mm high
object on the floor.

11. ALWAYS KEEP GARAGE DOOR PROPERLY BALANCED
(see page 3). An improperly balanced door may not
reverse when required and could result in severe injury
or death.

12. All repairs to cables, spring assemblies and other
hardware, all of which are under EXTREME tension,
MUST be made by a trained door systems technician.

13. ALWAYS disconnect electric power to garage door
opener before making any repairs or removing covers.

14. The force, as measured on the closing edge ot the door,
should not exceed 400N (40kg). If the closing force is
more than 400N, a Safety Infrared Reversing Sensor
must be installed. Do not use the force setting
procedure to compensate for a binding or sticking
garage door. Excessive force will interfere with the
proper operation of the Safety Reverse System or
damage the garage door.

Troubleshooting

1. Opener doesn't operate from either door control or
remote:

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

Have you disengaged all door locks? Review installation

•
instruction warnings on page 1.

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

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

•
in the motor. Wait 15 minutes. Try again.

2. Opener operates from remote but not from door

control:

• Is door control button lit? If not, remove the bell wire from
the opener terminals. Short the red and white terminals by
touching both terminals at the same time with a piece of
wire. If the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at
the door control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

Are wiring connections correct? Review page 3.

•

3. Door operates from door control but not from remote:

• Check battery. Replace battery if necessary.

• Is the light at the wall control flashing? Press button with
key-symbol to unlock the opener against remote controls.

• Is the receiver LED flashing at the back-side of the opener
when the transmitter is pressed? The opener receiver must
re-learn the remote control code. Follow the instructions on
page 4.

• If you purchased a new remote control then check at carton
of remote control for compatibility or call the Service Hotline.

4. Remote has short range:

• Is battery installed? If needed, change the battery.

• Change the location of the remote control on the car.

• A metal garage door, foil-backed insulation or metal siding
will reduce the transmission range.

• Use outside coaxial antenna adapter to move antenna.

5. Door reverses for no apparent reason and opener light

doesn't blink:

• Is something obstructing the door? Pull manual release
handle. Operate door manually. If it is unbalanced or
binding, call for professional garage door service.

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

• Review Force Settings. Open and close the door in learn
mode for several (3-5) consecutive cycles to allow the
operator to adjust to inconsistent doors.

• If door reverses in FULLY CLOSED position, re-learn travel
limits.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.
The need for occasional adjustment of the force and limit

settings is normal. W

eather conditions in particular can affect

7. 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, Vibration Isolator Kit 062155
(included with the operator) can be installed. This kit was
designed to reduce the "sounding board effect" and is easy to
install.

8. The garage door opens and closes by itself:

• Delete all remote controls and reprogram.

• Make sure remote push button is not stuck "on".

• Disconnect all push buttons or key switches attached and
wait one day.

9. Door stops but doesn't close completely:

Review Limit
Repeat safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm

length, close force or down limit.

10. Door opens but won't close:

• Check The Safety Infrared Reversing Sensor (if you have
installed this accessory). If the light is blinking, correct
alignment.

• If opener light does not blink and it is a new installation,
check the down force.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is
complete.

11. Opener light does not turn on:

Replace light bulb (40 Watts maximum). Replace burned out
bulbs with rough service light bulbs.

12. Opener light does not turn off:

There may be a defective earth at the ceiling or wall
receptacle. The unit must be earthed.

13. Opener strains or reversed during opening:

Door may be unbalanced or springs are broken. Close door
and use manual release rope and handle to disconnect trolley.
Open and close door manually. A properly balanced door will
stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its
springs. If it does not, call for professional garage door service
to correct the problem. Do not change force settings.

14. Opener motor hums briefly, then won't work:

• Garage door springs are broken. SEE ABOVE.
If problem occurs on first operation of opener

•
Disable door lock. If chain was removed and reinstalled, the
motor may be out of phase. Remove chain; cycle motor to
down position. Observe drive sprocket. When it turns in
clockwise direction and stops in down position, re-install
chain.

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustment is complete.

15. Opener won't activate due to power failure:

• Pull manual release rope and handle down and back to
disconnect trolley
When the power is restored, pull the manual release handle
straight down. The next time the opener is activated, the
trolley will reconnect.

• The Outside Quick Release accessory (if fitted) disconnects
the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.
