INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

WARNING :

To reduce the risk of severe injury or death:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS. do not understand an instruction, call The Genie Company or an authorized Genie Dealer.

2. Do Not install operator on an improperly balanced door. An improperly balanced door could cause severe injury. Repairs and adjustments to cables, spring assembly, and other hardware must be made by a professionally trained service technician using proper tools and instructions.

3. Remove all ropes and disable all locks connected to the door before installing operator.

4. Install door operator 7 feet or more above floor. Mount emergency release knob 6 feet above floor.

HEADER AND DOOR MOUNTING BRACKETS:

CAUTION

Header bracket must be fastened to garage framing. Do Not fasten to drywall, particle board, plaster or other such materials.

1. Finding header bracket mounting location.

• Close garage door. –Use a pencil.

a. Mark center of garage door (one-half overall

width) with 6 vertical line at top edge of door.

b. Continue this line on wall above door for

about 12" (Fig. 2-1).

• Raise garage door until top edge of door

reaches its maximum height

• Place door at highest point.

Measure height from top edge of door to floor.

–

• Close door again.

• Mark height measurement on wall above door. –Make your mark across vertical line

made earlier.

If you have questions or

(Fig. 2-2)

FOR HELP-1.800.354.3643 OR GENIECOMPANY.COM

5. Do Not connect the operator to the source of power until instructed to do so.

6. Locate the control button:

• Within sight of door.

• At minimum height of 5 feet above the highest floor

level, so small children cannot reach it.

• Away from all moving parts of the door.

7. Install the Entrapment WARNING Label next to the wall button or wall console. Install the emergency release tag on, or next to, the emergency release.

8. The operator must reverse when the door contacts a 1-1/2 inch high object on the floor at the center of the doorway. This is the size of a 2 x 4 board laid flat.

2. Mounting the header bracket.

NOTE: Although header bracket may be oriented several ways, method 1 is preferred if possible because of added strength over other methods

(Fig. 2-5).

• Hold header bracket against wall –

Place left edge on vertical line.

DOOR BRACKET:

CAUTION

Doors made of masonite, lightweight wood, fiberglass, and sheet metal must be properly braced before mounting door operator. Contact door manufacturer or distributor for a bracing kit. The Genie Company is not responsible for damage caused due to improperly braced door (Fig. 2-6).

3. Finding door bracket mounting location.

• Door bracket is mounted as high on

possible along vertical centerline.

NOTE: In the case of sectional type doors, door bracket must be mounted NO LOWER THAN top set of rollers (Fig. 2-7).

For 1-piece doors, door bracket must be mounted at top edge of door.

4. Mounting the door bracket.

• Proper bracing should be verified at this point. –

Align door bracket centered on your vertical centerline.

–

Attach using 3 self-drilling screws (42) for sheet metal or other light weight material.

–

Use lag screws (22) for solid wooden doors.

• Support power head on step-ladder.

NOTE: Before final attachment to ceiling, insure that assembly is in proper alignment (Fig. 2-9).

• Attach mounting straps to ceiling using lag

bolts (22) (Fig. 2-10).

• Set height of power head according to following: –Track guided doors

Rail must clear door at highest point of travel

b. Be level or, power head slightly below level.

–Trackless doors

Rail must clear door at highest point of travel by 1" to 1-1/2".

• Securely tighten power head mounting bolts (46)

and nuts (47).

• Lower door.

• Fully tighten rail strap nut.

• DO NOT PLUG UNIT IN YET!

3. Adjusting length of emergency release cord.

• Check emergency release knob height. –Low enough you can reach it. –High enough to clear your vehicle, but

NO HIGHER THAN 6 FEET ABOVE FLOOR.

• Tie a new overhand knot where desired –Cut off any extra cord.

SAFE-T-BEAM®SYSTEM INSTALLATION

WARNING

There should be no electrical power to the operator while installing Safe-T-Beam System®wires. If you have plugged in the power cord UNPLUG IT NOW.

NOTE: The operator will not close the door automatically unless the Safe-T-Beam installed.

1. Mounting brackets.

• Mark both sides of garage door frame or wall 5"

above floor.

(Fig. 3-1).

• Hold bracket against door frame or wall. –Check if brackets extend out from wall far

enough, so tongue of bracket is beyond door, tracks or any door hardware.

–If not:

a. STB bracket extensions are available

at local dealer.

b. Blocks of wood, etc. may be substituted for

extensions.

• Center bracket on your mark (Fig. 3-2).

• Fasten each with 2 screws (44) (Fig. 3-2).

NOTE: Mounting brackets can be attached to the floor using concrete anchors (not provided).

2. Mounting STB source and sensor.

• If garage has only one garage door. –Determine which side of garage receives most

direct sunlight (Fig. 3-4).

–Red LED should always be on sunny side

whenever possible (Fig. 3-4).

• For multiple doors. –Preventing crossed signals is critical. –Place source and sensor modules on adjacent

doors facing in opposite directions (Fig. 3-4).

NOTE: To help prevent interference from sun, ST B sensors (Green LED) may be placed further away from the door opening where they will spend more time in shadows.

FIG. 3-4 STB locations

• Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket until

it clicks into place (Fig. 3-3).

3. Wiring.

• Route wire (29) using either method shown

(Fig. 3-5).

• Wires along rail are held in place with wire clips.

3. Wiring (cont ).

• Securely fasten wires to wall as you go.

–Use insulated staples (included).

[30]

–Staples should be snug only.

CAUTION

Staples which are too tight can cut or pinch wires. Cut or pinched wires can cause the STB System to stop working. When using the insulated staples, make sure you fasten them only as tightly as needed to hold the wire snuggly.

• Make wire attachments at “STB’s.” –Splitting and stripping wire ends to be

connected as shown (Fig. 3-6).

–Loosen terminal screws. –Insert wire under flat plate and tighten screw.

It does not matter which wire, white or striped, goes on which terminal (Fig. 3-7).

• Make wire attachments at power head. –“STB’s” are connected to terminals #2 and #3

on power head (Fig. 3-8).

4. Check the following.

• Insure that no part of door or its hardware is

in path between lenses of source and sensor.

• Insure that tops of lenses are between 5"-6"

above the floor (Fig. 3-9). The brackets are flexible, and can be adjusted slightly if needed.

WALL CONTROL INSTALLATION

WARNING

Verify there is no power to the operator before installing wall control wires.

CAUTION

Use of any wall control other than the type supplied will prevent the light from working and could cause the door to operate on its own.

Cut or pinched wires can cause the wall control to stop working. When using the insulated staples, make sure you only pound them in as far as needed to hold the wire snugly.

1. Finding the mounting location.

• Pick a convenient location for mounting

wall control.

–Location you choose should be in direct sight

of door.

–It should be at least 5’ above floor to prevent

small children from operating door.

–It must be away from any moving parts. (You

should not be able to reach the door while standing at wall control.)

2. Wiring.

• Run wire from power head to wall control.

• Securely fasten to ceiling using insulated

staples provided.

• Split and strip ends of wire (Fig. 4-5).

• On power head: –Attach the striped wire to terminal #1 and

white wire to terminal #2 (Fig. 5-1).

• On back of wall control: –Attach striped wire to terminal B , and

white wire to terminal W. (Fig. 5-2).

3. Mounting.

• Fasten wall control to wall with 2 screws

(wall button use 33) (console use 45) (Fig. 5-3).
