SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

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 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 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.

• Installation Step 10 – Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.

• Installation Step 10 – Alternate floor 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 Outside Quick Release is required. See Accessories page.

• Look at the garage door where it meets the floor. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4". 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, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement 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 to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

• If your door is more than 7 feet high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors (fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with glass panels, etc.). See page 24 for details.

Install the Light and Lens

INSTALL THE LIGHT

• Install a 75 watt maximum light bulb in socket. The light will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 41/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the light will turn OFF.

• If a bulb burns out prematurely due to vibration, replace with a Garage Door Opener bulb.

INSTALL THE LENS (SERIES 4200C & 4200C-2)

• See Figure 1.

• Slide lens into guides. Snap bottom tabs into lens slots.

• Reverse the procedure to remove the lens.

INSTALL THE LENS (SERIES 2200C )

• See Figure 2.

• Locate and loosen (approximately 1/8") the two screws near top of opener front panel. Position lens against panel with slotted tabs directly below screws. Slide lens up to seat tabs behind screws. Snap bottom tabs of lens into panel slots. Retighten top panel screws to secure lens.

INSTALLATION STEP 8

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" 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.

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 difficulties, 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 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.

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 difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:

• 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 fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.

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 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 lights 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, no more than 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 track of sectional garage doors 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.

• 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" above garage floor.

WARNING

Sensor Beam 6" max. above floor

Figure 2

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" 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 each door track, with the curved arms facing the door. 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, no higher than 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 no higher than 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.

Figure 4MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY SENSORS

• 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. See Figure 4.

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use

insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3. See Figure 5.

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 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 SENSORS

1. If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after installation, check for:

• Electric power to the opener.

• Ashort in the white or white/black wires. These

can occur at 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 blink 10 times. (If bulbs are not installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 21.

To prevent damage to garage door, reinforce inside of door with angle iron both vertically and horizontally.

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" 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.
