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 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.

• Installation Step 6 - Do you have a finished ceiling in your garage? If so, a support bracket and

additional fastening hardware may be required.

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, horiFontal 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 (1.22 m) to the left or

right of the door center. See Installation Steps 1

and 12.

• If your door is more than 7 feet (2.13 m) 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 23 for details.

INSTALLATION STEP 4

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 amber 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.

Be sure power is not connectedto the garage door opener BEFOREinstalling the safety reversingsensor.

To prevent SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a closing

garagedoor:

• Correctly connect andalign the safety reversing sensor.This required safety device MUST NOTbe

disabled.

• Install the safety reversing sensor so beam is NO HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above garagefloor.

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, tf 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.

6" (15 cm) max, Protection Area above floor

Facing the door from inside the garage

Sensor Beam 6" (15 cm) max,

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 will 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 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 (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 (see Figure 5).

• 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 6).

2. Cross and twist the two wires where they meet the rail (see Figure 6, lllustration 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 20 now.

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

(see Figure 6, 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. 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 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.

NOTE: DO NOT connect power to opener at this time.

To avoid possible SERIOUSINJURYfrom a falling

garagedoor opener,fasten it SECURELYto structural supports of the garage.Concreteanchors 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 (1.52 m) 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" (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 cover by gently prying at slot in side of the cover with a small flat head screwdriver. Fasten with

6ABx1-1/4" self-tapping screws (drywall installation) or 6-32x1" 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 17.

4. Insert 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 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 connections opener at this time. The trolley will travel

to the full open position but will not return ___ to the close position until the sensor stripwire7/16"(11mm)

beam is connected and properly aligned.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom

electrocution:

• Be sure power is not connected BEFOREinstalling door control.

• Connect ONLYto 24 VOLTlow voltagewires.

To prevent possible SERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom a

closing garagedoor:

• Install door control within sight of garage door, out of reachof children at a minimum height of 5 feet (1.52 m), and awayfrom all moving parts of door.

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

•Activatedoor ONLYwhen it canbeseenclearly,is properly

adjusted,andthereare no obstructionsto doortravel.

• 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 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 avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.

To prevent possibleSERIOUSINJURYor DEATHfrom electrocution or fire:

• Besure power is not connectedto the opener,and disconnect power to circuit BEFOREremoving coverto 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 changeplug in any way to makeit fit outlet. Besure the opener is grounded.

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 amber 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.

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 flash 10 times. (See page 15.)

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 OFR

• 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 speciafity light bulbs may overheat the

endpanel or light socket.

Toprevent possible OVERHEATINGof the endpanelor light socket,

• DONOTuseshort neck or specialty light bulbs.

• DONOTusehalogen bulbs. Use ONLYincandescent.

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 (1.83 m) above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle

clear the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 12

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.

Fiberglass,aluminum or lightweight steel garagedoors WILL REQUIREreinforcement BEFOREinstallation of

door bracket. Contactyour door manufacturerfor reinforcement kit.
