Information you'll need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor
must
be connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener will move in the down direction. This is a
required safety device and cannot be disabled.
Installation procedures are the same for sectional
and one-piece doors.
WARNING
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persons (particularly children) could
be injured or killed by a closing garage door.
Read and follow all instructions.
To protect small children, install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam will be no
higher than 4"-6" above the garage floor.
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
Sensor Beam
4-6" max.
above floor
Invisible Light Beam
Protection Area
Figure 1: Facing the door from inside the garage
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected.
The sending eye transmits an invisible light beam to
the receiving eye.The units can be installed on
either side of the garage door as long as the sun
never shines directly into the receiving eye lens.
Look at the label on the connector end of each case
to identify the sensors.
The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other
as shown in Figure 1.
If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the
garage door is closing, the door will stop and
reverse to full open position; and the opener lights
will flash for 5 seconds.
Sensor Beam
4-6" max.
above floor
The brackets
must
be securely fastened to a solid
surface such as the studs on either side of the door,
or add a piece of wood at each location if installing in
masonry construction.
The invisible light beam path must be unobstructed.
No part of the garage door (or door tracks, springs,
hinges, rollers or other hardware) can interrupt the
beam while the door is closing. If it does, use a piece
of wood to build out each sensor mounting location to
the minimum depth required for light beam clearance.

ation of the sensors on each side of the garage door
as shown on page 17, or on the
themselves.
Figures 5 and 6 are variations which may fit your
installation requirements better. Make sure the
wraps and brackets are aligned so the sensors
will face each other across the garage door.
For Garage Wall or Door Track
• Fasten the "C" wraps to the mounting brackets
having square holes, using the hardware shown in
Figure 2.
For Door Track
Installation Only
• Discard slotted bracket. Drill 3/8" holes in each
track and fasten securely with hardware as shown
in Figure 3.
For Wall
Installation
• Connect each assembly to a slotted bracket, using
the hardware shown in Figure 4. Note alignment
of brackets for left and right sides of the door.
• Finger tighten the lock nuts.
• Use bracket mounting holes as a template to locate

CAUTION
Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on page 21.
A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should
cover the height of the top panel.
The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 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.
To prevent damage to steel, aluminum,
fiberglass or glass panel doors, always
reinforce the inside of the door both vertically
and horizontally with angle iron.

How and When to Adjust the Forces
Test the DOWN (close) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through DOWN (close) travel. The door
should reverse. (Reversal halfway through down
travel does not guarantee reversal on a one-inch
obstruction. See page 26.) If the door is hard to
hold or doesn't reverse, decrease the DOWN (close)
force by turning the control counterclockwise.
Make 10 degree turn adjustments until the door
reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete cycle.
Test the UP (open) force
Grasp the door bottom when the door is about
halfway through UP (open) travel. The door should
stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn't stop,
decrease UP (open) force by turning the control
counterclockwise. Make 10 degree turn adjustments
until the door stops easily. After each adjustment,
run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

1. Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light,
check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a wall switch.)
2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on page 7.
3. Is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the
ground. Remove any restriction.
4. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.
5. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait 15
minutes. Try again.
1. Is the door control 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.
2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 14.
1. If your model has the Lock feature, turn it
2. Is the wall push button flashing? Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control
code. Refer to instructions on the opener panel.
3. Does the battery test light glow when the remote control push button is pressed? If
not, replace the battery.
4. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.
5. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

1. Check the battery test light. If the light is dim, replace the battery.
2. Change the location of the remote control in your car.
3. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully
downward.
4. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation,
or metal garage siding.
If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living
quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to
minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.
1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons and battery indicator lights are off.
2. Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote
only. If this solves the problem, the door control is faulty (replace), or there is an
intermittent short on the wire between the door control and the opener.
1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the
up force.
2. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.
3. If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One turn
equals 2 inches of travel. See page 24.
See page 25.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door stops but
