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

•Installation Step 12 – Depending upon garage construction, extension brackets or wood blocks may be needed to install sensors.

•Installation Step 12 – 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 139.53702 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 2. Floor or door should be repaired.

SECTIONAL DOOR INSTALLATION

•Do you have a steel, aluminum, fiberglass or glass panel door? If so, horizontal and vertical reinforcement is required (Installation Step 8).

•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 8.

•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 18 for details.

INSTALLATION STEP 1

Determine the Header Bracket Location

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

•Header bracket MUST be RIGIDLY fastened to structural support on header wall or ceiling, otherwise garage door might NOT reverse when required. DO NOT install header bracket over drywall.

•Concrete anchors MUST be used if mounting header bracket or 2x4 into masonry.

•NEVER try to loosen, move or adjust garage door, springs, cables, pulleys, brackets, or their hardware, ALL of which are under EXTREME tension.

•ALWAYS call a trained door systems technician if garage door binds, sticks, or is out of balance. An unbalanced garage door might NOT reverse when required.

Installation procedures vary according to garage door types. Follow the instructions which apply to your door.

1.Close the door and mark the inside vertical centerline of the garage door.

2.Extend the line onto the header wall above the door. You can fasten the header bracket within 4 feet (1.22 m) of the left or right of the door center only if a torsion spring or center bearing plate is in the way; or you can attach it to the ceiling (see page 15) when clearance is minimal. (It may be mounted on the wall upside down if necessary, to gain approximately 1/2" (1 cm). If you need to install the header bracket on a 2x4 (on wall or ceiling), use lag screws (not provided) to securely fasten the 2x4 to structural supports as shown here and on page 15.

3.Open your door to the highest point of travel as shown. Draw an intersecting horizontal line on the header wall above the high point :

•2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and onepiece door with track.

•8" (20 cm) above the high point for one-piece door without track.

This height will provide travel clearance for the top edge of the door. NOTE: If the total numberof inches exceeds the height available in yourgarage,use the maximumheight possible,or referto page 15 forceiling installation.

INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Lights

1.Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.

2.Insert an A19 incandescent (100 watt maximum) or compact fluorescent (26W, 100W equivalent) light bulb into the light 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.

3.Reverse the procedure to close the lens.

4.If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration, replace with a garage door opener bulb. Use A19, standard neck garage door opener for replacement.

NOTE: Do not use halogen,short neck,orspecialty light bulbs as these may overheat the end panel orlight socket. Do not use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range orperformance of yourremote control(s).

To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the end panel or light socket:

•Use ONLY A19 incandescent (100W maximum) or compact fluorescent (26W maximum) light bulbs.

•DO NOT use incandescent bulbs larger than 100W.

•DO NOT use compact fluorescent light bulbs larger than 26W (100W equivalent).

•DO NOT use halogen bulbs.

INSTALLATION STEP 8

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 or three vertical supports. A vertical reinforcement brace should cover the height of the top panel.

Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron are used to create a U- shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door reinforcement kit.

NOTE: Many doorreinforcement kits provide fordirect attachment of the clevis pin and doorarm. In this case you will not need the doorbracket;proceed to Step 9.

SECTIONAL DOORS

1.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.

2.Position the top edge of the bracket 2"-4" (5-10 cm) below the top edge of the door, OR directly below any structural support across the top of the door.

3.Mark, drill holes and install as follows, depending on your door’s construction.

Metal or light weight doors using a vertical angle iron brace between the door panel support and the door bracket:

•Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the two 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws. (Figure 2A)

•Alternately, use two 5/16"-18x2" bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided). (Figure 2B)

Metal, insulated or light weight factory reinforced doors:

•Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracket using the self-threading screws. (Figure 3)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

The safety reversing sensors must be connected and aligned correctly before the garage door opener will move in the down direction.

The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmits an invisible light beam to the receiving sensor (with a green LED). If an obstruction breaks the light beam while the door is closing, the door will stop and reverse to the full open position, and the garage door opener lights will flash 10 times.

NOTE: Forenergy efficiency the garage dooropenerwill enter sleep mode when the dooris fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage dooropenerdown until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage dooropenerlight bulb;as the light bulb turns off the sensorLEDs will turn off and wheneverthe garage dooropenerlights turn on the sensorLEDs will light. The garage dooropenerwill not go into the sleep mode until the garage dooropenerhas completed 5 cycles upon powerup.

When installing the safety reversing sensors check the following:

•Sensors are installed inside the garage, one on either side of the door.

•Sensors are facing each other with the lenses aligned and the receiving sensor lens does not receive direct sunlight.

•Sensors are no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the light beam is unobstructed.

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

To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from 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.

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):

1.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 (Figures 2 and 3):

1.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.

2.If additional depth is needed, an extension bracket (see Accessories) or wood blocks can be used.

3.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.

4.Attach brackets to wall with lag screws (not provided).

5.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):

1.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.

2.Carefully measure and place right and left assemblies at the same distance out from the wall. Be sure all door hardware obstructions are cleared.

3.Fasten to the floor with concrete anchors as shown.

MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

Mounting:

1.Slide a 1/4"-20 x 1/2" 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).

2.Finger tighten the wing nuts.

Option A - Installation Without Pre-Wiring:

1.Run the bell wire from both sensors to the garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling with the staples (Figure 6).

Option B - Pre-Wired Installation:

If your garage already has wires installed for the safety reversing sensors, follow the instructions below:

1.Cut the end of the safety sensor wire, making sure there is enough wire to reach the pre-installed wires from the wall (Figure 7).

2.Separate the safety sensor wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Choose two of the pre-installed wires and strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each end. Make sure that you choose the same color pre-installed wires for each sensor (Figure 8).

3.Connect the pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts making sure the colors correspond for each sensor (Figure 9).
