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 mm). 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 procedures vary according to garage door
types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.
1. Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of
the garage door.
2. Extend the line onto the header wall above the door.
You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet
(1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if
a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the
way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 13)
when clearance is minimal. (it may be mounted on
the wall upside down if necessary, to gain
approximately 1/2" (1 cm).
If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4
(on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided)
to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as
shown here and on page 13.
3. Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown.
Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall
above the high point:
• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and
one-piece door with track.
• 8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door
without track.
This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge
of the door.

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 1).
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 (Figure 2).
2. Remove cover by gently prying along one side with a
screwdriver (Figure 3). Fasten with 6ABxl"
self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1"
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. DO NOT pierce wire with
a staple, creating a short or open circuit.
4. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from end of bell wire.
Connect bell wire to the quick-connect terminals as
follows: white to white and white/red to red (Figure 4).
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.
5. Position the antenna wire as shown.
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 power and operate opener at
this time, The trolley will travel to the full open position but
will not return to the close position until the sensor beam is
connected and properly aligned,

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.
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 preventpossible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom
electrocution or fire:
• Besure power isNOTconnectedto the opener,and
disconnect powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to
establish permanentwiring connection.
• Garagedoor installationand wiring MUSTbe in compliance
with ALL local electrical and building codes.
• NEVERuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,or change
plug in any way to makeit fit outlet. Besurethe openeris
grounded.

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 NOTconnected to the garagedoor opener
BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.
To preventSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing
garagedoor:
• Correctly connect and align the safety reversingsensor. This
required safety deviceMUST NOTbedisabled.
• install the safety reversingsensor so beamis NO HIGHER
than 6"(15 cm) above garagefloor.
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 (Figures 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 REVERSING
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 REVERSING 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING
SENSORS
1. Ifthe 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. Ifthe 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.

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 or three vertical
supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should cover
the height of the top panel.
Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal
brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron are
used to create a U-shaped support. The best solution is to
check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener
installation door reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct
attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you
will not need the door bracket; proceed to Step 12.
SECTIONAL DOORS
1. 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.
2. Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm)
below the top edge of the door, OR directly below any
structural support across the top of the door.
3. Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on
your door's construction:
Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron
brace between the door panel support and the door
bracket:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the two 1,/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws
(Figure 2A).
• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts, lock washers and nuts
(not provided) (Figure 2B).
Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced
doors:
• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket
using the self-threading screws (Figure 3).
Wood Doors:
• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes.
Drill 5/16" holes through the door and secure bracket
with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not
provided) (Figure 4).
NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not
intended for use on wood doors.
