Planning

Identify the type and height of your garage door.

Survey your garage area to see if any of the conditions below apply to your installation. Additional

materials may be required. You may find it helpful to

refer back to this page and the accompanying

illustrations as you proceed with the installation of your opener.

Depending on your requirements, there are several installation steps which may call for materials or hardware not included in the carton.

• Installation Step 1 - Look at the wall or ceiling

above the garage door. The header bracket must be securely fastened to structural supports.

• Installation Step 5 - Do you have a finished ceiling

in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.

• Installation Step 10- Depending upon garage

construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.

• Installation Step 10 -Alternate floor mounting of

the safety reversing sensor will require hardware not provided.

Do you have an access door in addition to the

garage door? If not, Model 53702 Emergency Key

Release is required. See Accessories page. Look at the garage door where it meets the floor.

Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4" (6 ram). Otherwise, the

safety reversal system may not work properly. See Adjustment Step 3. Floor or door should be

repaired.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATIONS

• Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical

reinforcement is required (Installation Step 11).

• The opener should be installed above the center of the door. If there is a torsion spring or center

bearing plate in the way of the header bracket, it may be installed within 4 feet (1.22 m) to the left or

right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1

and 11.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) high, see

rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of door, at a

minimum height of 5 feet (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, away from moving parts of

door and door hardware. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and use the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new home

construction), it may be mounted to a single gang box (Figure 2).

1.Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from one end of bell wire and connect to the two screw terminals

on back of door control by color: white wire to 2 and white/red wire to the 1.

2. Remove cover by gently prying at slot in top of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten

with 6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32xl" machine screws (into gang

box) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" (3 mm) to

protrude above wall surface.

• Position bottom of door control on screw head

and slide down to secure. Adjust screw for snug fit.

• Drill and install top screw with care to avoid

cracking plastic housing. Do not overtighten.

• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.

3. (For standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and across ceiling to motor unit. Use

insulated staples to secure wire in several places.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

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.

WRONG

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 top of the motor unit:

• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.

• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

• Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the

screw on the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must be

grounded.

• Reinstall the cover.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this 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 localelectrical and building codes.

• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or changeplug in any way to makeit fit outlet. Besure

the opener is grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

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. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT

THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSOR

When properly connected and aligned, the 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.

Be sure power is not connectedto the garage door opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing

garage door:

• Correctly connect andalign the safety reversing

sensor.This required safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

• Install the safety reversingsensor so beam is NO

HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

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.

INSTALLING THE BRACKETS

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align the brackets so the 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):

• 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 & 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 SENSORS

• Slide a 1/4"-20xl/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on each sensor. Use wing nuts to fasten 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 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. Twist like colored wires together. Insert

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

ALIGNING THE SAFETY 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 sensor until it receives the sender's beam. When

the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Figure 5

Carriage Bolt _) 1/4"-20xl/2"

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY 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 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. See page 20.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Fasten the Door Bracket

Follow instructions which apply to your door type

as illustrated below or on the following page.

A horizontal reinforcement brace should be long enough to be secured to two vertical supports. A

vertical reinforcement 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, two pieces of

angle iron are used to create a U-shaped support

(Figure 1). The best solution is to check with your

garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.

NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In

this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Installation Step 12.

SECTIONAL DOORS

• Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical centerline used for the header bracket

installation. Note correct UP placement, as stamped inside the bracket (Figure 2).

• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the following limits:

A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm)

below the top edge of the door.

B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any

structural support across the top of the door.

Fiberglass,aluminum or lightweight steel garage doors WILL REQUIREreinforcement BEFOREinstallation of

door bracket. Contactyour door manufacturer for reinforcement kit.
