An unbalanced garage door might not reverse when
required and someone under the door could be seriously
injured or killed.
If your garage door binds, sticks or is out of balance, call
for professional garage door service.
Garage doors, door
springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, and their hardware are
under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or
death.
Do not try to loosen, move or adjust them
yourself!
Ropes left on a garage door could cause someone to
become entangled and killed.
Remove all ropes
connected to the door before installing and operating the
opener.
To avoid damage to the garage door and opener, disable
locks before installing and operating the opener. Use a
wood screw or nail to hold locks in the "open" (unlocked)
position.
Operation at other than 120V 60 Hz will cause opener
malfunction and damage.
Identify the type and height of your door, any special
conditions that exist, and any additional materials that
may be required.
Test Your Door for Balance
Before you begin, complete the following test to make
sure your door is balanced, and is not sticking or
binding:
• Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the door.
It should stay in place, supported entirely by its springs.
• Raise and lower the door to see if there is any binding
or sticking.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 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.
When properly connected and aligned, the safety
reversing sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its
electronic beam. The sending eye (with an orange
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 light will flash for 5 seconds.
The units must be installed inside the garage so that the
sending and receiving eyes face each other across the
door, between 4-6" 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 mounting brackets are designed to clip onto the
garage door track without additional hardware.
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 from 4 – 6" above
the floor.
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 the door
track. Snap into place against the side of the track. It
should lie flush, with the lip hugging the back edge of
the track, as shown in Figure 1.
If your door track will not support the bracket securely,
wall installation is recommended.
Wall installation:
• 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, from 4–6" above the floor.
• 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:
• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see
Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses
will be 4-6" above the floor.
• 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 floor with concrete anchors as shown.

Mounting and Wiring the Safety Sensors
• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on
both sensors. 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. See Figure 4.
• Finger tighten the wing nuts.
Recommended Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both
sensors to the rail at the door header (see Figure 5).
2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet the rail
(see inset A). Run the wires inside the channels at the
top of the rail, along each side, to the power unit and
pull taut (see inset B). Do not use the lower (trolley)
channels.
NOTE: If your access door is near the garage door,
you may choose to install the door control at this time
and run the door control wire along the rail with the
sensor wires. Use one rail channel for the door control
wire and the other channel for both sensor wires. If
you choose this option, follow instructions 1-3
on page 21 now.
3. Thread the wires through the tabs on top of the drive
shaft cover.
4. With your screwdriver tip, tuck the wires snugly into
the rail channels. You will complete the wiring in

DO NOT CONNECT TO LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRING. CONNECT
ONLY TO 24 VOLT LOW VOLTAGE WIRES. CONNECTION TO
LIVE WIRES OR HIGHER VOLTAGE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY FROM SHOCK, BURN OR ELECTROCUTION.
Children operating or playing with a garage door opener can
injure themselves or others.
The garage door could close and
cause serious injury or death. Do not allow children to operate
the push button or the remote control transmitter.
A moving garage door could injure someone under it.
Activate
the opener only when the door is properly adjusted, you can
see it clearly, and there are no obstructions to door travel.
Locate the door control within sight of the door at a minimum
height of 5 feet where small children cannot reach, and away
from all moving parts of the door and door hardware.
The door control is typically attached directly to the wall. If
installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the anchors
provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new home
construction), the multi-function door control can be mounted
to a standard single gang box.
1. Strip 1/4" of insulation from one end of the bell wire and
connect it to the two screw terminals on the back of the door
control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1. (Fig. 1)
2. Lighted door control: Fasten to wall with 6ABx1-1/2" selftapping screws.
Multi-function: Remove the white cover by gently pushing
both thumbs against upper corners of cover on the back side
of the door control (Fig. 2). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" selftapping screws (standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine
screws (pre-wired installation) as follows: (Fig. 3)
• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" to protrude from the wall.
• Position bottom of door control over screw head and adjust
for snug fit.
• Install top screw with care to avoid cracking plastic
housing. Do not overtighten.
• Replace cover by inserting bottom tabs and snapping into
place. To remove cover after mounting, gently pry at top
with paper clip or small flat head screwdriver.
NOTE: After installation, a green indicator light behind the
cover will indicate proper connection. If not lit, the Lock and
Light features will not function (reverse wires to correct).
3. Standard installation only: Run bell wire up wall and
across ceiling to opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire
in several places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a
staple, creating a short. If your access door is near the
garage door, you may run this wire with the Safety Reversing
Sensor wires along the top of the rail. See page 14.
4. Remove Control Center door on right panel of opener to
access the terminal screws.
5. Thread all wires through the opening at the base of the drive
shaft cover (Fig. 4).
6. Insert the remaining wire through the hole in the power unit
and strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires.
7. Connect door control wire to the opener terminal screws:
white to 2 and white/red to 1.
8. Connect sensor wires to the opener terminal screws: white to
2 and white/black to 3.

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 fit into a grounding type outlet.
If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure:
Installation Step 8
Electrical Requirements
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" diam.
hole in the top of the opener (according to local code):
• Remove the opener 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.
18
To prevent electrocution or fire,
installation and wiring
must be in compliance with local electrical and building
codes.
Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change
the plug in any way to make it fit your outlet.
To avoid installation difficulties,
do not run the opener until Step 9 below.
To prevent electrocution,
remove power from the
garage door opener
and
from the circuit you plan to
use for the permanent connection.
Installation Step 9
Complete Safety Reversing Sensor
Installation
Aligning the Safety 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 orange indicator light will glow
regardless of alignment or obstruction. If the green
indicator light in the receiving eye is off, dim, or
flickering (and the invisible light beam path is not
obstructed), alignment is required.
• Loosen the sending eye wing nut and re-adjust, aiming
directly at the receiving eye. Lock in place.
• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor
vertically and/or horizontally until it receives the
sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glowssteadily, tighten the wing nut.
Trouble Shooting
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 under staples or at screw terminal 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 flash 10 times. (If bulbs are not
installed, 10 clicks are audible.) See page 12.

Attach the Manual Release
Rope and Handle
Do not use the red handle to pull the door open or
closed.
The rope knot could become untied and you
could fall.
Use the manual release only to disengage the
trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed.
Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open when the
handle is pulled, the door could close inadvertently if it is
not properly balanced. Serious injury may result to
persons under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear
of persons and obstructions before pulling handle when
door is open.
• 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" 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 above the
floor. Secure with an overhand knot .
If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with
a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
19
• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.
The lights will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected.
Then the lights will turn OFF.
• Insert bottom lens tabs into slots on chassis and tilt
towards chassis to engage top tabs, then drop down
gently into place. (See illustration.)
• To remove, lift lens up and gently tilt slightly outward
and down, then pull out to clear bulbs. Use care to
avoid snapping off bottom lens tabs.
• If the bulbs burn out prematurely, replace with standard
neck Garage Door Opener bulbs. (Fluorescent bulbs are
not recommended because of possible interference with
receiver/transmitter signals.)

Installation Step 12
Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on page 21.
To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass or
glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of the door
both vertically and horizontally with an angle iron.
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.
• Center the door bracket on the previously marked
vertical guideline used for the header bracket
installation. Note the correct UP placement, as
stamped inside the bracket.
• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the
following limits:
A) The top edge of the bracket 2-4" below the top edge
of the door.
B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes.
Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is
vertical reinforcement.
If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforcement
but does need top and bottom fastening holes for the door
bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.

Assemble the Door Arm:
• Fasten the straight and curved door arm sections
together to the longest possible length (with a 2 or 3
hole overlap).
• With the door closed, connect the straight door arm
section to the door bracket with the 5/16"x1-1/4"
clevis pin.
• Secure with a ring fastener.
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 right side panel as shown on page 24. Follow adjustment procedures below.
Adjustment Procedures for One-Piece Doors
Open Door Adjustment:
Decrease UP Travel Limit
• Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter-clockwise
5 1/2 turns.
• Press the Door Control push bar or 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 2" of trolley travel.
Closed Door Adjustment:
Decrease DOWN Travel Limit
• Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise
5 complete turns.
• Press the Door Control push bar or 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 2" 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.

Adjustment Step 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments until the safety
reversing sensors are completely installed.
24
Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at which the
door will stop when moving up or down.
The door will stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with door travel. The door will reverse in the
down direction if anything interferes with the door travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
To operate the opener, press the Door Control push bar or
button. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.
• Does the door open and close completely?
• Does the door stay closed and not reverse
unintentionally when fully closed?
If your door passes both of these tests, no limit
adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test fails
(see page 26).
Adjustment procedures are outlined below.Run the
opener through a complete travel cycle after each
adjustment.
Repeated operation of the opener during adjustment
procedures may cause the motor to overheat and shut off.
Simply wait 15 minutes and try again.
Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to
Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit
adjustments.
How and When to Adjust the Limits
If the door does not open completely but opens at least
five feet:
Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw
clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If door does not open at least 5 feet: Adjust the UP
(open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.
If the door does not close completely:
Increase down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If door still won't close completely, try lengthening the
door arm. (Page 22.)
If you have adjusted the door arm to the maximum length
and the door still will not close completely, lower the
header bracket. See Installation Step 1, pages 8/9.
If the opener reverses in fully closed position:
Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment
screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If the door reverses when closing and there is no
visible interference to travel cycle:
If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing
Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed.
See Troubleshooting, page 18.
Test the door for binding: Pull the manual release handle.
Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding,
call for garage door service. If the door is not binding or
unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close) force. See
Adjustment Step 2.
Adjustment Section: Pages 24 – 26
Improper adjustment of the travel limits will interfere with
the proper operation of the safety reverse system.
The
door might not reverse properly when required and could
seriously injure or kill someone under it.
Test the safety
reverse system monthly, and following all adjustments to
the travel limits. See page 26.

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 small 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 small adjustments until the door stops easily. After
each adjustment, run the opener through a complete
travel cycle.
If the door doesn't open at least 5 feet:
Increase UP (Open) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until door opens
completely. Readjust the UP limit if necessary. After each
adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel
cycle.
If the door reverses during the down (close) cycle and
the opener lights aren't flashing:
Increase DOWN (close) force by turning the control
clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door
completes a close cycle. After each adjustment, run the
opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase
the force beyond the minimum amount required to
close the door.
25
Force adjustment controls are located on the right panel
of the opener. Force adjustment settings regulate the
amount of power required to open and close the door.
The door will stop in the up direction if anything
interferes with its travel. The door will reverse in the
down direction if anything interferes with its travel
(including binding or unbalanced doors).
If the forces are set too light, door travel may be
interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down direction
and stops in the up direction. Weather conditions can
affect the door movement, so occasional adjustment may
be needed.
The maximum force adjustment range is about 3/4 of a
complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point.
Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.
WARNING
Page 26
Adjustment Step 4
Test the Safety Reverse System
Test
• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor,
centered under the garage door.
• Operate the door in the down direction. The door must
reverse on striking the obstruction.
Adjustment
If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far
enough in the down direction.
• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit
adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
• Repeat the test.
On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments do
not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down
position. See the illustration on page 22.
• When the door reverses on the one-inch board, remove
the obstruction and run the opener through 3 or 4
complete travel cycles to test adjustment.
If the door will not reverse after repeated adjustment
attempts, call for professional garage door service.
Important Safety Check
Repeat Adjustment Steps 1-4 after:
• Each adjustment of door arm length, force controls or
limit controls.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door
(including springs and hardware).
• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.
• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.
Failure to test and adjust the safety reverse system may
result in serious injury or death to persons trapped by a
closing garage door.
Repeat this test once a month and
adjust as needed.
26
Adjustment Step 3
Test The Protector System
®
• Press the remote control push button to open the door.
• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.
• Press the remote control push button to close the door.
The door will not move more than an inch, and the
opener light will flash for 5 seconds.
Professional service is required if the opener closes the
door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed.
The garage door opener will not close from a remote if
the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you
to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).
The garage door can be closed by pressing and holding the
Door Control push bar or button until down travel is
completed.
Without a properly working safety reversing sensor,
persons (particularly children) could be seriously injured
or killed if trapped by a closing garage door.
Repeat this
test once a month.

4. Check safety reversal system monthly. See page 26. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a one
inch object (or a 2x4 board laid flat) placed on the floor. If an adjustment is made to one of the controls
(either force or limits of travel), the other control may need to be adjusted also, and the safety reversal
system must be checked. Failure to properly adjust the opener may result in severe injury or death.
5. If possible, use the manual release only when the door is in a closed position. Caution should be taken
whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken springs may cause the door to
fall rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED.See page 3. An improperly balanced door may not
reverse when required, and could result in severe injury or death. Repairs to cables, spring assemblies and
other hardware must be made by a professional garage door person.
7. Disconnect the electric power to the garage door opener before making an y repairs or removing the covers.

resetting the timer to 2-1/2 minutes. Repeat again for a 31/2 minute interval, etc., up to a maximum of four blinks
and 4-1/2 minutes.
Lock Feature – Door Control Panel: Designed to prevent
operation of the door from portable remote controls.
However, the door will open and close from the Door
Control push bar, the Outside Keylock and the Keyless
Entry Accessories.
To Activate: Press and hold the Lock button for
2 seconds. The push bar light will flash as long as the
Lock feature is on.
To turn off: Press and hold the Lock button again for
2 seconds. The push bar light will stop flashing. The
Lock feature will also turn off whenever the “Smart”
button on the opener panel is activated.
Operation of the Door Controls: See additional programming features, next page.
To open the door manually:
The door should be fully
closed if possible. Pull down
on the manual release handle
(so that the trolley release
arm snaps into a vertical
position) and lift the door
manually. The lockoutfeature prevents the trolley
from reconnecting automatically, and the door can
be raised and lowered
manually as often as
necessary.
To reengage the trolley: Pull
the manual release handle
toward the opener at a 45
degree angle so that the
trolley release arm is
horizontal. The trolley will
reconnect on the next UP or
DOWN operation, either
manually or by pressing the
Door Control push bar or
button.

the remote control, but
not from the door
control:
1. Is the door control push bar lit? If not, Remove the bell wire from the opener terminal
screws. 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 Installation Step 7, page 17.
The door operates from
the door control, but not
from the remote
control:
1. Is the door push bar flashing? If your model has the Lock feature, turn it off.
2. Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to instructions on the opener
panel.
3. Program the receiver to match the remote control code.
4. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

itself:
1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.
2. Remove the bell wire from the door control terminals and operate from the remote control
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.
3. Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.
The door doesn't open
completely:
1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the up
force. See page 25.
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.
Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.
The door stops but
doesn't close
completely:
Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 24.
Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down
limit.

1. Change the location of the remote control in your car.
2. Check to be sure the antenna on the right side panel of opener extends fully.
3. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed insulation, or
metal garage siding.
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
