INSTALLATION STEP 9

Electrical Requirements

To avoidinstallation difficulties,do notrunthe openerat this 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. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

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.

• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change plug in ANYway to make it fit outlet. Besure the openeris

grounded.

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 screws and 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 openermust begrounded.

• Reinstallthe cover.

SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensor will detect an obstacle in the path of its electronic beam.The sendingeye

(with an amber indicator light) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving eye(with a green indicator light). If an

obstruction breaksthe light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverseto full open position, and the opener

lights will flash 10 times. Theunits must be installedinside the garageso that the sending

and receivingeyesface each other across the door, no more than 6" (15cm) above thefloor. 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.

Themounting brackets are designed to clip onto thetrack 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 safetyreversing sensor. This required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

• Installthe safety reversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER

than 6" (15 cm) abovegaragefloor.

If it is necessaryto mount the units on the wall, the brackets must be securelyfastenedto a solid surface such as the wall

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

wood at eachlocation to avoid drilling extra holes in 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 openeris disconnected.Install and align

the brackets so the sensors will faceeachother 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 roundededgeof each doortrack,

with the curved arms facing the door. Snap into placeagainst the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip hugging the

back edge of the track, asshown in Figure1.

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

Waftinstallation (Figure2 & 3):

• Placethe bracketagainst the wall with curved arms facing the door. Besure there is enough clearancefor the sensor beamto be unobstructed.

• If additional depth is needed,an extensionbracket (seeAccessories) or wood blockscan be used.

• Usebracketmounting holes asa template to locateanddrill (2) 3/16" diameter pilot holeson the wall at eachside of the

door, no higher than 6" (15 cm) abovethe floor.

• Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).

• If using extensionbracketsor wood blocks, adjust right and left assembliesto the same distance out from the mounting

surface. Make sure all door hardwareobstructions are cleared.

Floorinstallation (Figure4):

• Usewood blocksor extension brackets (seeAccessories) to elevatesensor bracketsso the lenseswill beno higherthan

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 anchors as shown.

MOUNTINGANDWIRINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt headinto 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 wiresfrom both sensorsto the opener. Use insulated staplesto secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from eachsetof 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

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

receiving eyeswill glow steadily if 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 powerto the opener.

• A short in the white or white/black wires. Thesecanoccur at

staples, or at opener connections.

• Incorrect wiring between sensors andopener.

• A broken wire.

2. If the sending eyeindicator light glows steadily but the

receiving eyeindicator light doesn't:

• Checkalignment.

• Checkfor an openwire to the receivingeye.

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

NOTE:Whenthe invisible beampath is obstructed ormisaligned

whilethe door is closing, the door will reverse.If thedoor is
