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
o Installation Step 1 - Look at the wal! or ceiling above
the garage door. The header bracket must be securely
fastened to structural supports
o installation Step 4 - Depending upon garage
construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be
needed to installsensors
° Installation Step 4 - Alternate floor mounting of the
safety reversing sensor will require hardware not
provided
* Installation Step 6 - Do you have a finished ceiling in
your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional
fastening hardware may be required
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 12).
• 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 (12 m) to the left or right of the door
center See Installation Steps 1 and 12

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 ABOUTTHE 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.

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 installedin 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
installationis 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..
o
Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided)..
tf 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..
o Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown..

Recommended Wire Routing
1..Using insulatedstaples, run the wires from both sensors
to the rail at the door header (Figure 6).
2 Run the wires through wire cIip at the top of the rails.
NOTE: if.your access door is near the garage door, you
may choose to install the door control at this time and
run the door control wire along the raft with the sensor
wires..If you choose this option, follow instructions 1-3

Install the Door Control
Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum
height of 5 feet (1.52 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 side 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:
• Drill and 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 over tighten.
• Insert top tabs and snap on cover..
3. (Standard installation only) Run bell wire up walt and
across ceiling to motor unit,.Use insulated staples to
secure wire in several places° Do not pierce wire with a
staple, creating a short or open circuit.. If your access
door is near the garage door, you may run this wire with
the Safety Reversing Sensor wires along the top of the
rail..See page 17,.
4..Insert a!l wires through the opening on top of motor unit
above the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 3).
5oStrip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires..
Insert door control wire into quick-connect terminals by
color: white wire to white, white/red wire to red.
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,
NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the
opener, twist same color wires together. Insert wires into
quick-connect holes: white to white and red/white to red.
6.,Use tacks or staples to permanently attach entrapment
warning label to wall near door control, and manual
release/safety reverse test label in a prominent location
on inside of garage door.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the power and operate the
opener at this time. The trolley will travel to the full open
position but will not return to the close position until the Doorcontrol
sensor beam is connected and properly aligned. Connections

• 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
receivir_g eye indicator tight 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.

Fasten the Door Bracket
Follow instructionswhich 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 illustrationshows one piece ofangle ironas 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 isto check with your garage
door manufacturer for an opener installation door
reinforcement kiL
NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm, In this case you
will not need the doorbracket; proceed to Installation
Step 12.
