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 and/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 6 - Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and additional fastening hardware may be required.

• Installation Step 4 - Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks

may be needed to install sensors.

• Installation Step 4 - 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. It

must close on the floor all the way across. Otherwise, the safety reverse system may not work

properly. See Adjustment Step 4. 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 12).

• The opener is normally installed at the center of the door. Ifthere is a torsion spring or center

bearing plate in the way of the header bracket or door bracket area, the opener may be installed within 4 feet to the left or right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1 and 12.

• 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 4

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. This is a

required safety device and cannot be disabled. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY

REVERSING SENSOR When properly connected and aligned, the safety

reversing 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 more 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:

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

disabled.

- Installthe safety reversing sensor so beam is 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.

Facing the door from inside the garage

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.

Recommended Wire Routing

1. Using insulated staples, run the wires from both sensors to the rail at the door header

(see Figure 5).

2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet

the rail (see inset A). Run the wires inside the channels at the top of the rail, along each side,

to the motor unit. Do not use the lower (trolley) channels. Use a screwdriver tip to tuck the wires

snugly into the channels.

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 rail with the sensor wires. Use one rail channel for

the door control wire and the other channel for both sensor wires. If you choose this option, follow

instructions 1-3 on page 21 now.

3. Pull wires taut across the top of the chassis and insert into the opening above the terminal block

(see inset B). You will complete the wiring in Installation Step 7.

may be different. Hanging brackets should be angled (Figure 1) to provide rigid support. On finished

ceilings (Figure 2) attach a sturdy metal bracket to structural supports before installing the opener. This

bracket and fastening hardware are not provided. (See Accessories.)

If you have existing brackets from a previous installation, you may fasten them to the mounting

tabs as shown in Figure 3. Then continue with step

5 below.

1. Measure the distance from each side of the motor unit to the structural support.

2. Cut both pieces of the hanging bracket to required lengths.

3. Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.

4. Attach one end of each bracket to a support with 5/16"-18xl -7/8" lag screws.

5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with 5/16"-18x7/8" hex screws, lock washers and nuts.

If you wish to utilize a previous installation, you must fasten a supplied hanging bracket diagonally

to the two existing brackets. See Figure 3.

6. Check to make sure the rail is centered over the door (or in line with the header bracket if the

bracket is not centered above the door).

7. Remove the 2x4. Operate the door manually. If the door hits the rail, raise the header bracket.

Toavoid possible SERIOUSINJURYfrom afalling garage door opener,fasten it SECURELYto structural supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUSTbe used

if installing any brackets into masonry.

INSTALLATION STEP 7

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 7/16" 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 white cover by gently prying at slot in top of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten

with 6AB x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall

installation) or 6-32 x 1" machine screws (into gang box) as follows:

• Drill and 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. (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. 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 18.

4. Insert all wires through the opening on top of motor

unit above the terminal block on the back panel (Figure 3).

5. Strip 7116" 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 sensor beam is connected and properly aligned.

Outside Keylock Accessory Connections I

To opener quick-connect terminals: white to white; whte/red to red.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution:

• Besure power is not connectedBEFOREinstalling door control.

• ConnectONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a

closing garagedoor:

• Install door control within sight of garagedoor, out of reachof children at a minimum height of 5 feet, and

awayfrom all moving parts of door.

• NEVERpermit children to operateor play with door control push buttons or remotecontrol transmitters.

• Activatedoor ONLYwhen it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

• ALWAYSkeepgaragedoor in sight until completely closed. NEVERpermit anyoneto cross path of closing

garagedoor.

INSTALLATION STEP 8

Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the

opener until Step 9 below.

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 opener (according to local code):

• Remove the opener 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 powerto circuit BEFOREremoving cover to establish permanent wiring connection.

• Garagedoor installation andwiring MUST be in compliancewith all local electricaland building codes.

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

the opener is grounded.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

Complete Safety Reversing Sensor Installation

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 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 the

sensor vertically and/or horizontally until it receives the sender's beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

TROUBLE SHOOTING 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. (If bulbs are not

installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 16.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Install the Lights and Lens

• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for

approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.

• Insert bottom lens tabs into slots on chassis and tilt towards chassis to engage top tabs, then drop down gently into place. (See illustration.)

• To remove, lift lens up and gently tilt slightly outward and down, then pull out to clear bulbs.

Use care to avoid snapping off bottom lens tabs.

• Use standard neck Garage Door Opener bulbs for replacement.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side

up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least 1" from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.

• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in the release arm of the outer trolley.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent

unraveling.

• To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a falling garagedoor:

- If possible, useemergency releasehandleto

disengagetrolley ONLYwhengarage door is CLOSED.Weakor brokensprings or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

- NEVERuseemergency releasehandle unless garage

doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

• NEVERusehandle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
