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 walt 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.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

smaller hole 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) away is close to the rail edge. Rotate the back rail so it has a similar hole

close to the opposite edge, about 4-3/4" (12 cm) from the far end. NOTE: Using the sequence above

the clips will be facing down.

1. Remove the straight door arm and hanging

bracket packaged inside the front rail and set

aside for Installation Step 5 and 12. NOTE: To

prevent INJURY while unpacking the rail carefully

remove the straight door arm stored within the rail section.

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

Tabs along the side will lock into place.

To prevent INJURYfrom pinching, keep hands and fingers away from the joints while assembling the rail.

NOTE: Rail sections may be assembled with the clips up or down (down is preferred) disassembly of

rail may damage clips.

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 locking pliers onto the rail 8" (20 cm) from the center of the idler

pulley hole, as shown.

5.Check to be sure there are 4 plastic wear pads inside the inner trolley. If they became loose

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

RIGHO

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom electrocution or fire:

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

• Garagedoor installation and wiring MUSTbe in compliance with all local electrical and building codes.

• NEVERusean extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.

PERMANENT WIRING

CONNECTION

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.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

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 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 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.

• Besure poweris not connectedto the garagedoor 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 MUSTNOTbe disabled.

- Installthe safety reversing sensor so beamis NO

HIGHERthan 6"(15 cm) above garage floor.

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.

above floor

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 wilt not support the bracket securely, wall installation is 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 walt 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 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 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

sensor until it receives the sender's beam. When

the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Figure 5

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 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. 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 blink 10 times. See page 20.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

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 vertical supports. A

vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height of the top panel.

The illustration shows one piece of angle iron as 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 is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.

NOTE: Many vertical brace installations provide for

direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In

this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Installation Step 12.

SECTIONAL DOORS

• 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 (Figure 2).

• Position the bracket on the face of the door within the following limits:

A) The top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm)

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.
