To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the garage door opener until instructed to do so.

Assembly Step 1

Assemble the Rail & Install the Trolley

The front rail has a cut out "window” at the door end (see illustration). The hole above this window 1$ larger on the top of the rail than on the bottom. A smaller hole 3-1/2" away is close to the rail edge.

The back rail has a similar hole close to the edge, about 4-3/4" from the far end. A 3-plece rail uses

two back rails.

Preferred assembly Is to position the rails right side up, with the small holes along the same

edge.

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 powerhead 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.

Installation Step 6

Install the Premium Control Console

Locate the door control within sight of the door at a minimum height of 5 feet where small children cannot reach, and away from all moving parts of the door and door hardware.

The door control is typically attached directly to the wall. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" holes and

use the anchors provided. For pre-wired installations (as in new home construction), Console models may be mounted to a standard single gang box (Figure 2).

1. Strip 1/4“ of insulation from one end of the bell wire and connect it to the two screw terminals on the back of the door control: white to 2, and white/red to 1.

2. Pry off cover along one side with a screwdriver blade (see Figure 1), Fasten with 6ABx1-1/4" self tapping screws (standard installation) or 6-32x1" machine screws (pre-wired installation) 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 overtighten.

• Insert top tabs and snap on cover.

3. (For standard installation) Run the bell wire up the wall and across the ceiling to the opener. Use

insulated staples to secure the wire in several places. Be careful not to pierce the wire with a

staple, creating a short.

4. Connect the bell wire to the terminal screws on

the opener panel: white to 2; white/red to 1.

5. Position the antenna wire as shown.

Do not connect to live electrical wiring. Connect

only to 24 Volt low voltage wires. Connection to live wires or higher voltage may cause serious Injury from shock, burn or electrocution.

Children operating or playing with a garage door opener can injure themselves or others.

The garage door could close and cause

serious injury or death.

Install the door control (or any additional push buttons) out of the reach of children and away from ail moving parts of the door and door hardware, but where the garage door is visible. Do not allow children to operate the push button(s) or the remote control(s).

A moving garage door could injure someone

under it. Activate the opener only when the

Do not use the red handle to puli the door open or closed. The rope knot could become

untied and you could fall. Use the emergency

release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed.

Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open when the handle is pulled, the door could close inadvertently if it is not properly balanced. Serious injury may result to persons

under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear

of persons and obstructions before pulling handle when door is open.

Installation Step 9

Eiectrical Requirements

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage

door opener has a grounding type plug with a third grounding pin. This plug will on/y 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.

To avoid installation difficulties,

do not run the opener at this time.

To prevent electrocution or fire, installation

and wiring must be in compliance with local electrical and building codes.

Do NOT use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter,

or change the plug in any way to make it fit your outiet.

Right

Wrong

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure:

To prevent electrocution, remove power from

the garage door opener and from the circuit you plan to use for the permanent connection.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" diameter 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 avoid installation difficulties,

do not run the opener at this time.

The Safety Reversing System

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 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.

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 light 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, between 4 - 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.

Without a properly working safety reversing sensotf persons (particularly children) could be Injured or killed by a closing garage door.

Read and follow all instructions.

To protect small children, install the safety

reversing sensor so that the beam will be between 4 - 6" above the garage floor.

Disconnect power to the garage door opener before installing the safety reversing sensor.

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.

Installation Step 10

Install the Safety Reversing Sensor

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 from 4 - 6" above the floor.

They may be installed in one of three ways, depending on your requirements, as follows.

1. (Preferred) Clipped onto the left and right garage door tracks. See Figure 2.

2. Fastened to the wall on each side of the garage. See Figure 3.

3. Fastened to the floor (see Figure 4). Concrete anchors and wood blocks or extension brackets

will be needed.

Garage door track installation:

• Slip the curved arms over the rounded edge of the

door track. 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.

If your door track will not support the bracket

securely, wall installation is recommended.

Wall installation:

• Place the bracket against the wall and make 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, from 4-6“ above the floor. (See warning at beginning of Installation Step 10.)

• 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 4-6" 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"-20x1/2" carriage bolt head into the slot on both sensors. 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 5.

• Finger tighten the sensor 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 sfead/7/if wiring

connections and alignment are correct.

The sending eye orange indicator light wilt 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 directiy at the receiving eye. Lock in place.

• Loosen the receiving eye wing nut and adjust sensor verticaily and/or horizontally until it receives the sender's beam. When the green indicator light glows

steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Figure 5

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 a broken 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 wiit not ctose. The opener lights will flash 10 times. (If bulbs are not installed, 10 clicks can be heard.) See page 21.

Installation Step 11

Fasten Door Bracket

Follow instructions which apply to your door type as Illustrated below or on page 25.

A horizontal brace should be long enough to be secured to 2 vertical supports. A vertical brace should cover the height of the top panel.

The illustration shows one piece of angie iron as the horizontai brace. For the verticai brace, 2 pieces of

angie iron are used to create a "U"-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener instaliation door reinforcement kit.

To prevent damage to steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel doors, always reinforce the inside of the door both vertically and horizontally with an angle iron.

•

• Center the door bracket on the previously marked vertical guideline used for the header bracket installation. Note correct UP placement, as

stamped inside the bracket.

• Position the bracket on the face of the door within

the following limits:

A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" below the top

edge of the door.

B) The top edge of the bracket directly below any

structural support across the top of the door.

• Mark and drill 5/16" left and right fastening holes. Secure the bracket as shown in Figure 1 if there is vertical reinforcement.

If your installation doesn't require vertical reinforce ment but does need top and bottom fastening holes

for the door bracket, fasten as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2

Page 25

AH ONE-PIECE Door Installation Procedure

Please read and comply with the warnings and reinforcement instructions on page 24.

They apply to one-piece doors also.

Haader Wall

• Center the bracket on the top of the door, in line with the header bracket as shown. Mark holes.

• Drill 5/16" pilot holes and fasten the door bracket with hardware supplied.

If the door has no exposed framing, drill 3/16" pilot holes and fasten the bracket with 5/16“x1-1/2" lag screws (not provided) to the top of the door.

The door bracket may be installed on the top

edge of the door if required for your installation. (Refer to the dotted line optional placement drawing.) Drill 3/16“ pilot holes and substitute 5/16“x1-1/2" lag screws (not provided) to fasten the bracket to the door.

' Turn the UP limit adjustment screw counter

clockwise 5-1/2 turns.

' Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will

travel to the fully open position.

' Manually raise the door to the open position

(parallel to the floor), and lift the door arm to the

trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just in

back of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the

fully open trolley/door arm positions in the

iliustration. If the arm does not extend far enough,

Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise 5 complete turns.

’ Press the Door Control push button. The trolley will

travel to the fully closed position.

' Manually dose the door and lift the door arm to the

trolley. The arm should touch the trolley just ahead of the door arm connector hole. Refer to the fully closed trolley/door arm positions in the illustration. If the arm is behind the connector hole, adjust the limit

further. One full turn equals 2“ of trolley travel. adjust the limit further. One full turn equals 2" of trolley travel.

* •

Connect the door arm to the trolley.

• Close the door and join the curved arm to the connector hole in the trolley with the remaining clevis pin. It may be necessary to lift the door slightly to make the connection.

• Secure with a ring fastener.

• Run the opener through a complete travel cycle. If the door has a slight "backward" slant in full open position

as shown in the illustration, decrease the UP limit until the door is parallel to the floor.

Closed Door Adjustment:

Decrease DOWN limit

Page 28

Adjustment Section: Pages 28 - 30

Adjustment Step 1

Adjust the UP and DOWN Limits

Do not make any limit adjustments until the safety reversing sensors are completely installed.

Limit adjustment settings regulate the points at

which the door will stop when moving up or down.

If anything interferes with the door’s upward travel, it

will stop. If anything interferes with the door’s

downward travel (including binding or unbalanced doors), it will reverse.

To operate the opener, press the Door Control push

button. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle.

• Does the door open and close completely?

• Does the door stay closed and not reverse

unintentionally when fully closed?

If your door passes both of these tests, no limit adjustments are necessary unless the reversing test falls (See page 30).

Adjustment procedures are outlined below.

Read the procedures carefully before proceeding to Adjustment Step 2. Use a screwdriver to make limit adjustments. Run the opener through a complete travel cycle after each adjustment.

NOTE: Repeated operation of the opener during

adjustment procedures may cause the motor to

overheat and shut off. Simply wait 15 minutes and

try again.

Improper adjustment of the travel limits will interfere with the proper operation of the safety reverse system. The door might not

reverse properly when required and could seriously Injure or kill someone under It Test

How and When to Adjust the Limits

• If the door does not open completely, but

opens at least iwe feet:

Increase up travel. Turn the UP limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

NOTE: To prevent the trolley from hitting the cover protection bolt, keep a minimum distance of 2-4” between the trolley and the bolt.

• If door does not open at least 5 feet:

Adjust the UP (open) force as explained in Adjustment Step 2.

• If the door does not close completely:

Increase down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

If the door still won't close completely and the trolley bumps into the trolley stop bolt (see page 4 or 5), tty lengthening the door arm (see page 26) and

decreasing the down limit.

• If the opener reverses in fully closed position:

Decrease down travel. Turn the DOWN limit adjustment screw clockwise. One turn equals 2" of travel.

• If the door reverses when closing and there is

no visible interference to travel cycle:

If the opener lights are flashing, the Safety Reversing Sensors are either not installed, misaligned, or obstructed. See Troubleshooting, page 23,

Test the door for binding: Pull the emergency release handle. Manually open and close the door. If the door is binding, call for garage door service. If the door is not binding or unbalanced, adjust the DOWN (close) force. See Adjustment Step 2.

Page 29

Adjustment Step 2

Adjust the Force

Force adjustment controls are located on the right

side panel of the opener. Force adjustment settings

regulate the amount of power required to open and close the door.

The door will stop in the up direction if anything

interferes with its travel. The door will reverse In the

down direction if anything interferes with its travel (including binding or unbalanced doors).

If the forces are set too light, door travel may be interrupted by nuisance reversals in the down direction and stops in the up direction.

Weather conditions can affect the door

movement, so occasional adjustment may be needed.

The maximum force adjustment range is 260 degrees,

about 3/4 of a complete turn. Do not force controls beyond that point. Turn force adjustment controls with a screwdriver.

Too much force on the door will interfere with the proper operation of the safety reverse system. The door might not reverse properly

when required and could seriously Injure or kill someone under It. Do not increase the

force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door. Do not use the force

adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door. Test the safety reverse system following all adjustments to force

levels. See page 30.

Adjustment Step 4

Test the Safety Reverse System

Test:

• Place a one-inch board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.

• Operate the door in the down direction. The door

must reverse on striking the obstruction.

Adjustment: If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling

far enough in the down direction.

• Increase the DOWN limit by turning the DOWN limit adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/4 turn.

• Repeal the test.

On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments do not cause the trolley to move within 2-1/2" of the trolley stop bolt. If

necessary, lengthen straight door arm to maintain this minimum distance.

• When the door reverses on the one-inch board, remove the obstruction and run the opener through

3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

If the door will not reverse after repeated adjustment attempts, call for professional garage door service.

A WARNING

Failure to test and adjust the safety reverse system may result in serious injury or death to

persons trapped by a closing garage door.

Repeat this test once a month and adjust as

needed.

Having a Problem?

Situation Probable Cause and Solution

The opener doesn't operate from either the Door Control or the remote control:

Opener operates

from the remote

control, but not from

the Door Control:

The door operates

from the Door

Control, but not from

the remote control:

1. Does the opener have electric power? Plug a lamp into the outlet. If it doesn't light, check the fuse box or the circuit breaker. (Some outlets are controlled by a door switch.)

2. Have you disabled all door locks? Review installation instruction warnings on Page 11.

3. is there a build-up of ice or snow under the door? The door may be frozen to the ground. Remove any restriction.

4. The garage door spring may be broken. Have it replaced.

5. Repeated operation may have tripped the overload protector in the motor. Wait

15 minutes. Try again.

1. Is the Door Control lit? If not, remove the bell wire from the opener terminal screws. Short the red and white terminals by touching both terminals at the same time with a piece of wire, if the opener runs, check for a faulty wire connection at the Door Control, a short under the staples, or a broken wire.

2. Are the wiring connections correct? Review Step 6, page 18.

1. Is any door push button flashing? If your model has the Lock feature, make sure the lock is Off.

2. Your opener needs to re-learn a remote control code. Refer to Instructions on the opener panel.

3. Program the receiver to match the remote control code,

4. Repeat the receiver programming procedure with all remote controls.

The remote control

has short range:

Opener noise is disturbing in living quarters of home:

The garage door opens and closes by itself:

The door doesn't

open completely:

1. Change the location of the remote control in your car.

2. Check to be sure the antenna on the side or back panel of opener extends fully downward.

3. Some installations may have shorter range due to a metal door, foil backed

insulation, or metal garage siding. (Antenna Extender Kit 41A3504)

If operational noise is a problem because of proximity of the opener to the living quarters, the Vibration Isolator Kit 41A3263 can be installed. This kit was designed to minimize vibration to the house and is easy to install.

1. Be sure that all remote control push buttons are off.

2. Remove the bell wire from the Door Control terminals and operate from the remote control only. If this solves the problem, the Door Control is faulty (replace), or there is an intermittent short on the wire between the Door Control and the opener.

3. Clear memory and reprogram all remote controls.

1. Is something obstructing the door? Remove the obstruction or repair the door.

2. If the door has been working properly but now doesn't open all the way, increase the up force. See page 29.

3. If door opens at least 5 feet, the travel limits may need to be increased. One turn

equals 2 inches of travel. See page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

The door stops but doesn't close completely:

Review the travel limits adjustment procedures on page 28.

Repeat the safety reverse test after any adjustment of door arm length, close force or down limit.

Page 35

Having a Problem? (continued)

Situation

The door opens but won't close:

The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights don't blink:

The door reverses for no apparent reason and opener lights blink for 5 seconds after reversing:

Probable Cause & Solution

1, If the opener lights blink, check the safety reversing sensor. See page 23.

2. If the opener lights do not blink and it is a new installation, check the down force. See Adjustment Step 2, page 29. For an existing installation, see below.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

1. Is something obstructing the door? Pull the red emergency release handle. Operate the door manually. If it is unbalanced or binding, call for professional garage door

service.

2. Clear any ice or snow from the garage floor area where the door closes.

3. Review the force adjustment procedures on page 29.

4. If door reverses in the fu//yc/osed position, decrease the travel limits (page 28).

Repeat safety reverse test after adjustments to force or travel limits. The need for occasional adjustment of the force and limit settings Is normal. Weather conditions In particular can affect door travel.

Check the safety reversing sensor. Remove any obstruction or align the receiving eye. See page 23.

The opener lights:

The opener strains or maximum force Is needed to operate door:

The opener motor hums briefly, then

won't work:

The opener won't

operate due to power failure:

... don't turn on:

Replace the light bulbs (75 watts maximum). Use a standard neck garage door opener bulb if regular bulb bums out.

.., don't turn off:

Is the Light feature on? Turn it off.

The door may be out of balance or the springs are broken. Close the door and use the

emergency release to disconnect the trolley. Open and dose the door manually. A properly balanced door will stay in any point of travel while being supported entirely by its springs. If it does not. disconnect the opener and call a professional garage door serviceman. Do not

increase the force to operate the opener.

1. The garage door springs are broken. See above.

2. If the problem occurs on the first operation of the opener, door may be locked. Disable

the door lock. If the chain was removed and reinstalled, the motor may be out of phase.

Remove the chain; cycle the motor to the down position. Observe the drive sprocket. When it turns in a clockwise direction and stops in the down position, reinstall the chain.

Repeat the safety reverse test after the adjustment is complete.

1. Use the emergency release to disconnect the trolley. The door can be opened and closed manually. When the power is restored, press the Door Control push button and trolley will automaticEdly reconnect (unless trolley is in lockout position.) See page 32.

2. The Emergency Key Release accessory (for use on garages with no service door) disconnects the trolley from outside the garage in case of power failure.

The chain droops

or sags:

It is normal for the chain to droop slightly in the closed door position. Use the emergency release to disconnect the trolley. If the chain returns to normal height when the trolley is disengaged and the door reverses on a one-inch board, no adjustments are needed (see page 11).
