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". 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 reinforce- ment 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 to the left or right of

the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 11.

• If your door is more than 7 feet high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

Horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors

(fiberglass, steel, aluminum, door with glass panels, etc.). See page 24 for details.

Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the

garage door opener until instructed to do so.

The front rail has a cut out 'Window" at the door end

(see illustration). The hole above this window is larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A

smaller hole 3-1/2" away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so # has a similar hole close to

the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" from the far end. A 3-piece rail uses two back rails.

1. Remove the straight door arm and clevis pin packaged inside the front rail and set aside for

Installation Step 12.

2. Align the rail sections on a flat surface exactly as shown and slide the tapered ends into the larger

ones. Tabs along the side will lock into place.

3. Place the motor unit on packing material to protect the cover, and rest the back end of the rail on top.

For convenience, put a support under the front end

of the rail.

4. As a temporary trolley stop, clamp a locking pliers onto the rail, 8" from the center of the idler pulley

hole, as shown.

5. Check to be sure there are 4 black plastic wear

pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose

during shipping, check all packing material. Snap them back into position as shown.

6. Connect the inner and outer trolleys as shown.

7. Slide the trolley assembly along the rail from the

back end to the locked pliers.

Install the Door Control

Locate door control within sight of door, at a minimum height of 5 feet 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 1/4" of insulation from one end of bell wire and connect to the two terminal screws on back of door

control by color: white to 2 and white/red to 1.

2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver blade (Figure 1). Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self-threading

screws (standard installation) or 6-32xl" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:

• Install bottom screw, allowing 1/8" 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. (For standard installation only) Run bell wire up wall and across ceiling to motor unit. Use insulated

staples to secure wire in several places. Be careful not to pierce wire with a staple, creating a short or

open circuit.

4. Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on the motor unit panel: white to 2; white/red to 1.

5. Position the antenna wire as shown.

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.

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 prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is not connectedto the opener,and disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving cover to establish permanent wiring connection.

• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliancewith all local electricaland building codes.

• NEVERuse an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or changeplug in anyway to make itfit outlet. Be sure

the opener is grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Install The Safety Reversing Sensor

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 orange 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 higher than 6" 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.

• Besure power is not connectedto the garage door opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversing sensor.

• To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing garagedoor:

- Correctlyconnect and align the safety reversing sensor.This required safety device MUST NOTbe

disabled.

- Installthe safety reversing sensor so beamis NO HIGHERthan 6" abovegaragefloor.

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" 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:

• 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" 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:

• Use wood blocks or extension brackets (see Accessories) to elevate sensor brackets so the lenses will be no higher than 6" 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. See Figure 4.

• 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 1/4" of insulation from each set of wires. Separate white and white/black wires sufficiently to

connect to the opener terminal screws: white to 2 and white/black to 3.

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 orange indicator lightwill 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 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 screw terminal

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 flash 10 times. See page 21.
