E/ectrica/ Requirements

To avoidinstallationdifficulties, do notrun the openeratthis
time.

To reduce the risk of electric shock,your garagedoor opener has
a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will

only fit into a grounding type outlet. Ifthe plug doesn't fit into the
outlet you have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet.

RIGH_

If permanent wiring is requiredbyyourlocal code,refer to the
followingprocedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" holein the top
of the motor unit:

• Removethe motor unit cover screwsand set the cover aside.

• Removethe attached3-prong cord.

• Connectthe black(line) wire to the screw on the brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw onthe silver
terminal; and the groundwire to the green ground screw. The

openermustbe grounded.

• Reinstallthe cover.

To avoidinstallationdifficulties, do notrun the openeratthis
time.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is not connected to the opener,and
disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to

establish permanentwiring connection.

• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance
with ALL local electrical and building codes.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING

SENSOR
When properly connectedand aligned, the sensorwill detect an

obstacle in the pathof its electronic beam.Thesending eye (with
an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beamto the

receiving eye (with a green indicator light). If an obstruction
breaks the light beamwhile the door is closing, the door will stop

and reverseto full open position, andthe opener lights will flash
10 times.

Theunits must be installed inside the garageso that the sending
and receivingeyesface eachother across the door, no morethan

6" (15cm) abovethe floor. Either can beinstalled on the left or
right of the door as long as the sun never shines directly into the

receiving eye lens.
Themounting brackets are designedto clip onto the track of

sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is not connected to the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage
door:

• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This
required safety deviceMUST NOTbedisabled.

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garagefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets
must be securelyfastened to a solid surface suchas the wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (see Accessories) are availableif
needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a pieceof wood

at each location to avoid drilling extra holesin masonry if
repositioning is necessary.

Theinvisible light beam path must be unobstructed. No part of
the garagedoor (or door tracks, springs, hinges, rollers or other

hardware) may interrupt the beamwhile the door is closing.

INSTALLINGTHE BRACKETS
Besure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align

the brackets so the sensors will faceeach other across the garage
door, with the beam no higher than 6" (15 cm) abovethe floor.

They may be installed in oneof three ways, as follows.

Garage doortrackinstallation(preferred):

* Slip the curved arms over the roundededge of each door track,

with the curved arms facing the door. Snapinto placeagainst
the side of the track. It should lieflush, with the lip hugging the

back edge of the track, asshown in Figure 1.

If your door track will not support the bracket securely,wall
installation is recommended.

Wall installation (Figure2 & 3):

* Placethe bracket against the wall with curved arms facing the

door. Besure there is enough clearancefor the sensor beamto
be unobstructed.

o If additional depth is needed,an extension bracket (see

Accessories)or wood blocks can be used.

o Usebracket mounting holes asatemplate to locate and

drill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holeson the wall at each side of
the door, no higherthan 6"(15 cm) abovethe floor.

o Attach bracketsto wall with lag screws (not provided).
o If using extension brackets or wood blocks, adjust right and

left assembliesto the same distanceout from the mounting
surface. Make sure all door hardwareobstructions are cleared.

Floorinstallation(Figure 4):

• Usewood blocksor extensionbrackets (seeAccessories) to
elevatesensor bracketsso the lenseswill be no higher than

6" (15cm) abovethe floor.

• Carefullymeasure and place right and left assembliesat the
same distanceout from the wall. Besure all door hardware

obstructions are cleared.

• Fastento the floor with concrete anchorsas shown.

MOUNTINGANDWIRINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each
sensor. Usewing nuts to fastensensors to brackets,with

lenses pointing toward each other across the door. Besure the
lens is not obstructed by abracket extension (Figure5).

• Fingertighten the wing nuts.

• Runthe wires from both sensorsto the opener. Use insulated
staplesto secure wire to wall and ceiling.

° Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from eachset of wires.

Separatewhite and white/black wires sufficiently to connect to
the opener quick-connect terminals. Twist like colored wires

together. Insert wires into quick-connect holes: white to white
and white/black to grey (Figure 6).

ALIGNINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

• Plugin the opener. Theindicator lights in both the sending and

receiving eyeswill glow steadilyif wiring connections and

alignment arecorrect.

Thesending eyeamber indicator light will glow regardlessof
alignment or obstruction. If the green indicator light in the

receiving eyeis off, dim, or flickering (and the invisible light beam
path is not obstructed), alignment is required.

° Loosenthe sending eyewing nut and readjust, aiming directly

at the receiving eye.Lock in place.

° Loosenthe receiving eyewing nut and adjust sensor until it

receivesthe sender's beam. Whenthe green indicator light

glows steadily,tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLESHOOTINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

1. If the sending eyeindicator light does not glow steadily after
installation, checkfor:

° Electric power to the opener.
° A short in the white or white/black wires. Thesecan occur at

staples, or at opener connections.

° Incorrectwiring betweensensors andopener.
° A broken wire.

2. If the sending eyeindicator light glows steadily but the

receiving eyeindicator light doesn't:
° Check alignment.
° Checkfor an open wire to the receiving eye.

3. If the receiving eye indicator light is dim, realign either sensor.

NOTE:Whenthe 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 openerlights will blink 10
times. Seepage20.
