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 back of the motor unit (according to local code):

• Remove the opener from the torsion bar, remove cover screws and set the cover aside.

• Remove the attached green ground terminal.

• Cut black and white wires and strip away 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation, 3" (7.6 cm) before spade terminals.

• Remove the power cord from unit.

• Install a 90oconduit or flex cable adapter to the 7/8" hole. Reinstall opener to torsion bar.

• Run wires through conduit, cut to proper length and strip insulation.

• Attach with wire nuts provided. Wire nuts to be installed as indicated in Figure 1.

• Properly secure wire under plastic ties so that wire does not come in contact with moving parts.

• 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

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. This is a required safety device and cannot be disabled.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

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 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 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" (15 cm) 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" (15 cm) above garage floor.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install

and align the brackets so the safety reversing sensors will face each other across the garage door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) above the floor. They may be installed in one of three ways,as follows.

Garage door track installation (preferred) (Figure 1):

• 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 (Figure 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 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 (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 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 REVERSING SENSORS

• Slide a 1/4"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten safety reversing 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.

• Run the wires from both safety reversing sensors to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to the opener quick-connect terminals: white to white and white/black to grey (Figure 6).

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 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 the safety reversing 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 safety reversing 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 13.

WARNING

Figure 2

Figure 3

Figure 4

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• NEVER learn forces or limits when door is binding or sticking. Repair door first.

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.

WARNING

ADJUSTMENT STEP 1

Program the Travel Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down. Follow the steps below to set the limits.

To program the travel limits:

Adjust the position of the door by using the black and purple buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and purple moves the door DOWN (close).

1. Setting the UP position: Press and hold the black button until the yellow indicator light starts flashing slowly then release.

2. Push and hold the black button until the door reaches the desired UP (open) position (Figure 2).

NOTE: Check to be sure the door opens high enough for your vehicle.

3. Push the remote control or door control (Figure 3). This sets the UP (open) limit and begins closing the door.

NOTE: Excessive movement of the motor unit will cause premature wear. See Troubleshooting section.

4. Immediately when the door begins to move down, press and release either the black or purple button. This will stop the door.

5. Setting the DOWN position: Push and hold the purple button until the door reaches the desired DOWN (closed) position (Figure 4).

6. Once the door is closed, if there appears to have too much pressure on the door, you may toggle the door back and forth using the black and purple buttons to reach the desired closed position.

7. Push the remote control or the door control (Figure 3). This sets the DOWN (close) limit and should bring the door to the open position.

• If the opener is not stopping exactly where you

would like it, repeat steps 1 through 8 and program the limits again.

• When the unit stops in both the desired up (open)

and down (close) positions, proceed to

Adjustment Steps 2, Setting the Force.
