Things to consider if you are planning to “do-it-yourself.”
Whether you are replacing an existing garage door operator or installing an operator in your
garage for the first time, there are some pre-installation issues which need to be addressed.
They are as follows:
The Genie Company recommends that you read and fully understand all
information and instructions contained herein before choosing a “Do-It-Yourself ”
installation. Any questions should be directed to the Genie Company or an authorized
Genie Dealer.
6
To avoid damage to your door and/or
operator, make sure you disable any door
locks prior to installing your operator
.
2
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK LIST
FOR HELP-1.800.354.3643 OR GENIECOMPANY.COM
1
Check your ceiling where the power
head of your new unit will be mounted.
Plan how you will be mounting the power head.
It is possible that ceiling joists may not be in the
exact position needed with respect to the garage
door operator. In any case, it may be necessary
to add an additional bracket and
fasteners (not
included with your new door operator kit).
2
Check the wall directly above the garage
door
. The door operator’s header bracket
must be securely fastened to this wall. Insure
that the structure will provide a strong mounting
location.
3
Check to see if the mounting location
for the Safe-T-Beam
®
System (STB) is
clear from obstruction and has a wood
surface available for attaching the STB
brackets
. The brackets may also be attached to
concrete if necessary but extra tools and special
fasteners (not supplied) will be required.
NOTE: 1-1/2" “STB” bracket adapters
are available through your local Genie Dealer.
4
Is your garage door made of
light-weight steel, aluminum, fiberglass
or glass panels
? Additional support bracing
must be added to these type doors. If this is the
case, please contact the door distributor or
manufacturer so that they can furnish you with a
“bracing kit.”
7
Insure that your door is properly balanced
and moving freely. SEE WARNING BELOW.
If your door sticks, binds, or is out of
balance, have it adjusted by a professional.
Door springs, cables, pulleys, brackets and
associated hardware are under extreme
tension and can cause serious injury or
death.
WARNING
(
The issue numbers below refer to the circled numbers in the illustrations on page 3.
)
8
(NOT SHOWN) If your garage does not have
a separate entry door, you might want to
consider an emergency release kit (GER-2)for
installation on your garage door. See page 30.
DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD!
Extension cords can cause dangerous
overheating conditions.
DO NOT USE PORTABLE GENERATOR!
This product is designed to operate on
standard house current. Do not use
alternate power supplies.
WARNING
5
You need a 110-120 Volt power supply
available
. If you plan to plug the unit into a
standard electrical outlet, is one available? The
outlet should be no more than about 3 feet from the
power head once it is mounted. (The cord is 4 ft. in
length.) SEE WARNING BELOW.

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, STB
sensors (green LED) may be placed further away
from the door opening where they will spend more
time in shadows.
• Slide source/sensor onto tongue of bracket
until it clicks into place (Fig. 3-3).
3. Wiring.
• Route wire using either method shown(Fig. 3-5).
• Securely fasten wires to wall as you go.
– Use insulated staples (included).
– Staples should be snug only.
WARNING
NOTE: The operator will not close the door
automatically unless the Safe-T-Beam®System
is 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 [
12 7
].
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.

– 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.
– For ProMax. STB’s are connected to terminals
#2 and #3 on power head (Fig. 3-8).
– For Stealth. STB’s are connected to
terminals #3 and #4 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.
NOTE: STB alignment check must be performed
following connection to electrical power (see page 21).
DO NOT PLUG IN YET!
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 snugly.

1. Run wire from power head to wall control.
• Place the wall control:
– In sight of door.
– At least 5 feet from floor, so small children can
not reach it.
– Away from moving parts of door and
door hardware.
• Use staples to fasten wire to ceiling and wall.
2. Remove 1/2” insulation from each wire
(Fig. 3-6)(pg. 19).
3. Attach wires to terminals (Stealth Fig. 4-1a)
(MAX Fig. 4-1b).
• Loosen, but Do Not remove screw from terminal.
For Stealth.
– Connect striped wires to terminal “2” on power
head and “B” on wall control.
– Connect white wire to terminal “1” on power
head and “W” on wall control.
For MAX.
– Connect striped wires to terminal “1” on power
head and “B” on wall control.
– Connect white wire to terminal “2” on power
head and “W” on wall control.
4. Mount wall control (Fig. 4-2).
• Use two pan head screws.
5. Mount entrapment warning label.
• Remove protective backing and stick near
wall control.
• Use tacks or staples to permanently mount Label.
•
Make sure everyone reads and follows WARNINGS.
NOTE: Additional wall controls are available from your
dealer. ONLY ONE OF YOUR WALL CONTROLS MAY BE THE
LIGHTED TYPE. If you have a lighted wall control, all your
additional controls must be un-lighted. More than one
lighted wall control per operator will cause a malfunction.
Power cord must be unplugged before attaching
wires. Be sure wire ends do not touch each other
or other terminals.
• Use of any other wall control will cause the
light not to work and could cause door to
operate by surprise.
• Cut or pinched wires can cause door operator
to malfunction. Drive staples just tight enough
to hold wire.
