Electrical 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. If the 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 screws and set the coveraside. * Removethe attached3-prong cord.

. Connect the 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:

* DisconnectALL electric and battery power BEFORE

performing ANY serviceor maintenance.

. Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance

with ALL local electrical and building codes.

. NEVERuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change

plug in ANYwayto make it fit outlet. Besure the openeris grounded.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETY REVERSINGSENSOR

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.

Besure power is not connectedto the garagedoor opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garage door:

• Correctlyconnect andalign the safety reversingsensor. This

required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

• Install the 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 securelyfastened to a solid surface suchas the wall

framing. Extensionbrackets (see accessories) areavailableif 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 openeris 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 (Figure1).

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

Waftinstallation(Figures2 and 3):

• Placethebracket against the wall with curved armsfacing the

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

• If additional depth is needed,an extensionbracket (see Accessories)or wood blocks can be used.

• Usebracket mounting holes asatemplate to locate and drill (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 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 extension brackets (see Accessories)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 anchors as shown.

MOUNTINGANDWIRINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

• Slidea 1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Usewing nutsto 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 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

• Plug in 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. * Ashort in the white or white/black wires. Thesecan occur at

staples, or at opener connections.

* Incorrect wiring betweensensors and opener. . 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.
