Planning
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 fi nd 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 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 fi nished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required.
• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may
be needed to install sensors.
• Installation Step 10 – Alternate fl oor mounting of
the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided.
• Do you have an access door in addition to the garage
door? If not, Model 7702C Emergency Key Release is
required. See Accessories page.
• Look at the garage door where it meets the fl oor. Any
gap between the fl oor and the bottom of the door must
not exceed 1/4" (6 mm). Otherwise, the safety reversal
system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3.
Floor or door should be repaired.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS
• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fi berglass or glass
panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical
reinforce ment is required (Installation Step 11).
• The opener should be installed above the center of the
door. If there is a torsion spring or center bearing plate
in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed
within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or right of the door
center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.
• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see rail
extension kits listed on Accessories page.
SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION
Horizontal and vertical reinforcement
is needed for lightweight garage
doors (fi berglass, steel, aluminum,

INSTALLATION STEP 1
Determine the Header Bracket Location
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to
structural support on header wall or ceiling,
otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when
required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.
• Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header
bracket or 2x4 into masonry.
• NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door,
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware,
ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.
• ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if
garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An
unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when
required.
Installation procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of
the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4'
(1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if
a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way;
or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13) when
clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall
upside down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2"
(1 cm).)
If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as
shown here and on page 13.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Draw an inter secting horizontal line on the header wall
above the high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge
of the door.
NOTE: If the total number of inches exceeds the height
available in your garage, use the maximum height
possible, or refer to page 13 for ceiling installation.

INSTALLATION STEP 6
Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach,
and away from moving parts of door and door hardware.
The installation surface must be smooth and fl at. If
installing into drywall (Figure 1), drill 5/32" holes and
use anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in
new home construction), it may be mounted to a single
gang box (Figure 2). NOTE: After installation, a green or
amber indicator light behind the cover will indicate proper
connection. If not lit, the Lock and Light features will not
function (reverse wires to correct).
1. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell
wire and connect to the two screw terminals on back of
door control by color: white wire to WHT and white/red
wire to the RED (Figure 3).
2. Remove white cover by gently prying on a side
corner near the top of the cover with a small fl at
head screwdriver (Figure 4). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1"
machine screws (into gang box) as follows:
• Drill and install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm)
to protrude above wall surface.
• Position bottom of door control on screw head and
slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fi t.
• Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. DO NOT overtighten.
• Insert bottom tabs and snap on cover.
NOTE: The push bar may stick if the door control is not
mounted on a smooth surface. If a click is not heard
when pressing the push bar, loosen the two mounting
screws or relocate the door control to a smoother
surface.
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated staples to
secure wire in several places. DO NOT pierce wire with
a staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 5).
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires
into quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white
to red.
5. Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near door control, and manual
release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location
on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect power and operate opener at this
time. The trolley will travel to the full open position but will
not return to the close position until the sensor beam is
connected and properly aligned.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution:
• Be sure power is NOT connected BEFORE installing
door control.
• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
a closing garage door:
• Install door control within sight of garage door, out
of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet
(1.5 m) and away from ALL moving parts of door.
• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door
control push buttons or remote control transmitters.
• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is
properly adjusted and there are no obstructions to
door travel.

lights will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for
replacement.
NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short neck
or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel or light
socket.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or
light socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.

Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top
of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as
shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent
slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in the
release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.8 m) above
the fl oor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear the tops
of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure with an
overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a
falling garage door:
• 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.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope
knot becomes untied, you could fall.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Electrical Requirements
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the opener
at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door
opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding
pin. This plug will only fi t into a grounding type outlet.
If the plug doesn’t fi t into the outlet you have, contact a
qualifi ed electrician to install the proper outlet.
RIGHTWRONG
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fi re:
• Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and
disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover
to establish permanent wiring connection.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in
compliance with ALL local electrical and building
codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter or
change plug in ANY way to make it fi t outlet. Be sure
the opener is grounded.
PERMANENT WIRING
CONNECTION
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, 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 the cover
aside.
• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on
the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green
ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
• Reinstall the cover.
To avoid installation diffi culties, do not run the opener
at this time.

INSTALLATION STEP 10
Install The Protector System
The safety reversing sensor must be connected and
aligned correctly before the garage door opener will
move in the down direction.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR
When properly connected and aligned, the sensor will
detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam. The
sending eye (with an amber indicator light) transmits an
invisible light beam to the receiving eye (with a green
indicator light). 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 lights will fl ash 10 times.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, no more than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor. 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 mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track
of sectional garage doors without additional hardware.
®
Be sure power is NOT connected to the garage door
opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing
garage door:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversing
sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT
be disabled.
• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is
NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage fl oor.
If it is necessary to mount the units on the wall, the
brackets must be securely fastened to a solid surface such
as the wall framing. Extension brackets (see Accessories)
are available if needed. 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.
INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install
and align the brackets so the sensors will face each other
across the garage door, with the beam no higher than
6" (15 cm) above the fl oor. They may be installed in 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 the door. Snap
into place against the side of the track. It should lie
fl ush, with the lip hugging the back edge of the track
(Figure 1).
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation (Figures 2 and 3):
• Place the bracket against the wall with curved arms
facing the door. Be sure there is enough clearance for
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 locate and
drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holes on the wall at each
side of the door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the
fl oor.
• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).
• If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust
right and left assemblies to the same distance out from
the mounting surface. Make sure all door hardware
obstructions are cleared.
Floor installation (Figure 4):
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses
will be no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the fl oor.
• Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies
at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door
hardware obstructions are cleared.
• Fasten to the fl oor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS
Mounting:
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot
on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten sensors to
brackets, with lenses pointing toward each other across
the door. Be sure the lens is not obstructed by a bracket
extension (Figure 5).
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Option A - Installation Without Pre-Wiring:
• Run the bell wire from both sensors to the garage door
opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the
staples (Figure 6).
Option B - Pre-Wired Installation:
If your garage already has wires installed for the safety
reversing sensors, follow the instructions below:
• Cut the end of the safety sensor wire, making sure there
is enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the
wall (Figure 7).
• Separate the safety sensor wires and strip 7/16"
(11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two of the
pre-installed wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation
from each end. Make sure that you choose the same
color pre-installed wires for each sensor (Figure 8).
• Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with
wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each
sensor (Figure 9).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS
• Plug in the opener. The indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye amber indicator light will glow regardless
of alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in
the receiving eye is off, dim, or fl ickering (and the invisible
light beam path is not obstructed), 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 sensor
until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green
indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY
REVERSING SENSORS
1. 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 opener connections.
• Incorrect wiring between sensors and opener.
• A broken wire.
2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the
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, realign
either sensor.
NOTE: When the invisible beam path is obstructed or
misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse.
If the door is already open, it will not close. The opener
lights will blink 10 times. See page 19.

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, 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.
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. Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical centerline used for the header bracket
installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped
inside the bracket.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm)
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 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws
(Figure 2A).
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and nuts
(not provided) (Figure 2B).
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the self-threading screws (Figure 3).
Wood Doors:
• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes.
Drill 5/16" holes through the door and secure bracket
with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts
(not provided) (Figure 4).
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not
intended for use on wood doors.
