SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

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 6 – Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a suppor t 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. Any gap between the floor and the bottom of the door must not exceed 1/4" (0.625 cm).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 12).

• 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 (1.20 m) to the left or right of the door center.See Installation Steps 1 and 12.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.10 m) high, see rail extension kits listed on Accessories page.

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.

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.

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 masonr y 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.

• Be sure power is not connected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

• To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

– Correctly connect and align the safety reversing

sensor. This required safety device MUST NOT be disabled.

– Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO

HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

WARNING

Figure 2

INST ALLING THE BRA CKETS 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:

• Place the bracket against the wall with cur ved 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:

• 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"-20x1/2" 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 Figure 5, Illustration B).You will complete the wiring in Installation Step 7.

INSTALLATION STEP 6

Hang the Opener

Three representative installations are shown.Yours 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).

Existing brackets from a previous installation may be fastened to the sides of the motor unit as in Figures 1 and 2, or to the mounting tabs as shown in Figure 3. Then continue with step 5 below.

1. Remove foam packaging.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"-18x1-7/8" lag screws.

5. Fasten the opener to the hanging brackets with

5/16"-18x7/8" hex bolts, lock washers and nuts.

If you wish to utilize the two center mounting tabs, you must triangulate the vertical brackets for additional stability. 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.

To avoid possible SERIOUS INJURY from a falling garage door opener, fasten it SECURELY to structural supports of the garage. Concrete anchors MUST be 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 (1.5 m) where small children cannot reach, away from moving par ts of door and door hardware. If installing into drywall, drill 5/32" (0.40 cm) 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" (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.

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" (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 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. Inser t all wires through the opening on top of motor

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

5. Strip 7/16" (11 mm) 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 quickconnect holes: white to white and white/black to grey.

NOTE: When connecting multiple door controls to the opener, twist same color wires together. Inser t 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.

Figure 3 Wiring to Terminal Block

Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each wire. Insert wires through opening on top of motor unit above terminal block, then into quickconnect terminals.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution:

• Be sure power is not connected BEFORE installing door control.

• Connect ONLY to 24 VOLT low voltage wires.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a closing garage door:

• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reach of children at a minimum height of 5 feet, and away from all moving parts of door.

• NEVER permit children to operate or play with door control push buttons or remote control transmitters.

• Activate door ONLY when it can be seen clearly, is properly adjusted, and there are no obstructions to door travel.

• ALWAYS keep garage door in sight until completely closed. NEVER permit anyone to cross path of closing garage door.

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" (2.19 cm) 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 until Step 9 below.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

Complete the 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 until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:

• Be sure power is not connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.

• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with all local electrical and building codes.

• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in any way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY SENSORS

1.If the sending eye indicator light does not glow steadily after installation, check for:

• Electr ic 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 flash 10 times. (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. Tilt towards chassis to engage top tabs, then drop down gently into place. (See illustration.)

•To remove, depress both top lens tabs. Tilt lens slightly outward and down, then pull out to clear bulbs.Use care to avoid snapping off bottom lens tabs.

NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short neck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel or light socket.

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" (2.5 cm) 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 (1.8 m) 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 SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling garage door:

– If possible, use emergency release handle to

disengage trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.

– NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage

doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.

• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot becomes untied, you could fall.
