E/ectrica/ Requirements

To avoid installationdifficulties,do notrun the openerat this
time.

To reducethe risk of electric shock, your garagedoor opener has
a grounding type plug with athird 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 electricianto 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 MUST be in compliance

with ALL local electrical and building codes.

• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapteror change plug

in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Besure the openeris
grounded.

RIGH_

If permanent wiringis requiredbyyourlocal code,refer to the
followingprocedure.

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

• Removethe motor unit cover screws and set the coveraside.

• Removethe attached3-prong cord.

• Connectthe black(line) wire to the screw onthe brass
terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw onthe silver

terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw.
The openermust be grounded.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSING
SENSOR

When properly connectedand aligned, the sensorwill 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 breaksthe light beamwhile the door is closing, the
door will stop and reverseto full open position, and the opener

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

and receivingeyes face eachother across the door, no morethan
6" (15 cm) above the floor. Either can be installed on the left or

right of the door as long as the sun nevershines directly into the
receiving eye lens.

Themounting brackets are designed to clip onto the track of
sectional garagedoors without additional hardware.

Be sure power is not connectedto 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 NOTbe disabled.

• Install the safetyreversing sensor so beamis NOHIGHER
than 6" (15 cm) above garagefloor.

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

framing. Extensionbrackets (seeaccessories) areavailable if
needed.If installing in masonry construction, add a piece of wood

at eachlocation 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 beam while the door is closing.

INSTALLINGTHE BRACKETS

Be sure power to the opener is disconnected. Install and align the
brackets so the sensors will faceeachother 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 doortrack installation(preferred):

• Slip the curvedarms over the rounded edge of each door track,
with the curved arms facing the door. Snapinto placeagainst

the side of the track. It should lie flush, with the lip huggingthe
back edge of the track, asshown in Figure1.

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

Waftinstallation(Figure 2 & 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) orwood blocks can be used.

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

door, no higherthan 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 distance out 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 higherthan

6" (15 cm) 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.

SENSORS

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

lenses pointing toward eachother across the door. Besure the
lens is not obstructed by a bracket extension (Figure 5).

• Fingertighten the wing nuts.

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

• 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 (Figure6).

ALIGNINGTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS

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

receiving eyeswill glow steadilyif wiring connections and

alignment are correct.

Thesending eyeamber indicator light will glow regardlessof
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.

• 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, check for:

• Electric powerto the opener.

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

staples, or at opener connections.

• Incorrect wiring betweensensors and opener.

• A broken wire.

2. If the sending eye indicator light glows steadily but the

receiving eyeindicator light doesn't:

• Checkalignment.

• Checkfor anopen wire to the receiving eye.

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

NOTE:Whenthe invisible beampath 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. Seepage 20.
