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.
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.
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.
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.
®
WARNING
Without a properly working safety reversing sensor,
persons (particularly children) could be injured or killed
by a closing garage door.
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.
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.

Recommended Wire Routing
1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both
sensors to the rail at the door header (see Figure 6).
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 wall 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

Installation Step 8
Electrical Requirements
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.
To avoid installation difficulties,
do not run the opener until Step 9 below.
WARNING
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.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure:

Installation
Aligning the Safety Sensors
• Plug in the opener. Green indicator lights in both the
sending and receiving eyes will glow steadily if wiring
connections and alignment are correct.
The sending eye indicator light will glow regardless of
alignment or obstruction. If the indicator light is off, dim,
or flickering in the receiving eye (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.
• An open wire (wire break).
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 16.

Installation Step 10
Install the Lights and Lens
• 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.)

Fasten Door Bracket
Follow instructions which apply to your door type
as illustrated below or on page 25.
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 an angle iron.

Adjustment Section: Pages 28 – 30
Adjustment Step 1
Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits
Do not make any limit adjustments until the safety
reversing sensors are completely installed.
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 thedown 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 30).
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

screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.
If door still won't close completely, try lengthening the
door arm. (Page 26.)
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 12 and 13.
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 22.
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

28
Page 29
Adjustment Step 2
Adjust the Force
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.

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

3. Operate opener only when the door is in full view and free from any obstruction. Keep the door in sight until
it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. Check safety reversal system monthly. See page 30. 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 any repairs or removing the covers.

The Remote Control Transmitter
The opener must learn the code of any new remote
control. Page 33 explains how to program your receiver
and how to erase all codes if required. Self service of
your receiver and remote controls is not recommended. If
service is needed, call the toll-free number listed on the
back page.
The Transmitter Battery
The green test light will glow and the opener will operate
when the remote control is activated, as long as there is
adequate battery power.
If the power indicator light is dim or off, replace the
battery. Also check the test light if transmission range
decreases.
The 12 volt battery should produce power for at least a
year.
Dispose of your old battery properly.
Repeat the safety reverse test. Make any necessary
adjustments (See page 30).
Once a Year
Oil door rollers, bearings and hinges. The opener does
not require additional lubrication. Do not grease the door
tracks.

Operation of Your Opener
Activate the opener with any of the following:
• The Remote Control Transmitter. Hold push button
down until the door starts to move.
• The Door Control. Hold push bar or button down
until the door starts to move.
• The Outside Keylock or Keyless Entry. (See
Accessories)
When the opener is activated with the safety reversing
sensor installed and correctly aligned:
1. If open, the door will close. If closed, the door will
open.
2. If closing, the door will reverse.
3. If opening, the door will stop (allowing space for entry
and exit of pets and for fresh air).
4. If the door has been stopped in a partially open
position, it will close.
5. If obstructed while closing, the door will reverse.
6. If obstructed while opening, the door will stop.
7. The garage door will reverse in the closing cycle when
the invisible beam is broken. If fully open, the door
will not close when the beam is broken. The sensor
has no effect in the opening cycle.
If the sensor is not installed, or is not aligned correctly,
the door won't close from any remote transmitter. You can
close the door with the Door Control, the Outside
Keylock, or Keyless Entry, however, if you activate them
until down travel is complete. If you release them too
soon, the door will reverse.
The opener lights will blink for 5 seconds when the safety
reversing sensor causes the door to reverse.
Opener Lights will turn on under the following
conditions: When the opener is initially plugged in; when
the power is interrupted; when the opener is activated.
They will turn off automatically after 4-1/2 minutes or
provide constant light when the Light feature is activated.
Bulb size is 100 watts maximum.

Receiver & Remote Control Programming
NOTICE: To comply with FCC rules, adjustment or modification of this
receiver and/or transmitter are prohibited, except for changing the code
setting or replacing the transmitter battery. THERE ARE NO OTHER
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS.
Your garage door opener receiver and remote control
transmitter have been set at the factory to a matching
code. The door will activate when the remote control
push button is pressed.
Your "Smart" garage door opener will operate with:
• up to four "Smart" remote control transmitters (with
green indicator lights),
• a Keyless Entry System, and
• code switch remote controls with red indicator lights.
Below are instructions for programming your opener to
match any additional remotes you may purchase. See
available accessories on page 38.
To add a single function remote control:
1. Press and hold the remote push button, see Figure 1.
2. Then press and release the "Smart" (learn) button on
the right side panel of the opener, Figure 2. The opener
lights will flash once.
3. Release the remote push button.
Now the opener will operate when the remote control
push button is pressed.
If you release the remote control push button before
the opener lights flash, the opener will not accept the
code.
To change the selected push button on the same
remote:
If you decide to use a different remote control button than
originally programmed into the opener, you need to erase
all the learned codes and reprogram each remote used to
operate the garage door opener.

the opener panel.
To Add the Keyless Entry
We recommend that you program your code before you
install the Keyless Entry. You will not need assistance,
and you can test the reception at the mounting location
before installation.
1. Choose a 4-digit code using numbers from 0 to 9. You
can use a number more than once (for example, 4, 0,
4, 1). Press the selected code digits on the keypad.
2. Press and hold the Enter button while you press the
“SRT” (learn) button on the opener panel. The
indicator light will blink and the door will begin to
move.
3. Release the Enter button. Now the opener has learned
the selected keypad code.
To ensure that your portable remote control codes were
not disturbed while you were programming the Keyless
Entry, test your remotes and reprogram them if necessary.
To change the code at any time, repeat steps 1-3.

the door control or
the remote control:
Opener operates from
the remote control, but
not from the door
control:
The door operates from
the door control, but not
from the remote
control:
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 w all switch.)
2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on Page 11.
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 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 21.
1. If your model has the Lock feature, turn it off.
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.
The remote control has

Opener noise is
disturbing in living
quarters of home:
The garage door
opens and closes by
itself:
The door doesn't open
completely:
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 right side panel of opener extends fully.
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 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.
1. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the upforce. See page 29.
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 28.
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 28.
Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down
limit.

2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.
3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 29.
4. If door reverses in the fully closed position, decrease the travel limits (page 28).
Repeat the safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need for
occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings is normal. Weather conditions in
particular can affect door travel.
Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye. See
pages 12 and 22.
Replace the light bulb(s) (100 watts maximum). Use a standard neck garage door opener bulb
if regular bulb burns out.
