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' (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 9) 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 9.

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

• 2" (5 cm) above the high point for sectional door and

one-piece 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 number of inches exceeds the height

available in your garage, use the maximum height possible, or refer to page 9 for ceiling installation.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6' (1.8 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.

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.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

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" (2 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 at this time.

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

• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance.

• 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.

INSTALLATION STEP 11

Invisible Light Beam Protection Area

Safety Reversing Sensor 6" (15 cm) max. above floor

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 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.

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 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.

Facing the door from inside the garage

Page 17

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 (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.

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 (Figure 5).

• Finger tighten the wing nuts.

• Run the wires from both sensors to the opener. Use insulated staples to secure wire to wall and ceiling.

• Strip 7/16" (11 mm) of insulation from each set of wires. 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 (Figure 6).

ALIGNING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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 sensor until it receives the sender’s beam. When the green indicator light glows steadily, tighten the wing nut.

Figure 5MOUNTING AND WIRING THE SAFETY REVERSING

TROUBLESHOOTING THE SAFETY REVERSING 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 blink 10 times. See page 16.

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 door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will not need the door bracket; proceed to Step 13.

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" 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).

Wood Doors:

• Use top and bottom or side to side door bracket holes. Drill 5/16" holes through the door and secure bracket with 5/16"x2" carriage bolts, lock washers and nuts (not provided) (Figure 4).

NOTE: The 1/4"-14x5/8" self-threading screws are not intended for use on wood doors.

Program the Travel Limits

Travel limits regulate the points at which the door will stop when moving up or down. Follow the steps below to set the limits.

To program the travel limits:

Figure 1

Adjust the position of the door by using the black and purple buttons. Black moves the door UP (open) and purple moves the door DOWN (close).

1. Setting the UP position: Press and hold the black

button until the yellow indicator light starts flashing slowly then release.

2. Push and hold the black button until the door reaches

the desired UP (open) position (Figure 2).

NOTE: Check to be sure the door opens high enough for your vehicle.

3. Push the remote control or door control (Figure 3). This

sets the UP (open) limit and begins closing the door.

4. Immediately when the door begins to move down, press

and release either the black or purple button. This will stop the door.

5. Setting the DOWN position: Push and hold the purple

button until the door reaches the desired DOWN (closed) position (Figure 4).

6. Once the door is closed, if there appears to have too

much pressure on the door, you may toggle the door back and forth using the black and purple buttons to reach the desired closed position.

7. Push the remote control or the door control (Figure 3).

This sets the DOWN (close) limit and should bring the door to the open position.

• If the opener is not stopping exactly where you would like it, repeat steps 1 through 7 and program the limits again.

• When the unit stops in both the desired up (open) and down (close) positions, proceed to Adjustment Steps

2, Setting the Force.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Incorrect adjustment of garage door travel limits will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.

To prevent damage to vehicles, be sure fully open door provides adequate clearance.

Setting the Force

The force setting button is located on the left panel of the motor unit. The force setting measures the amount of force required to open and close the door.

1. Locate the purple button on the left panel of the motor unit (Figure 1).

2. Push the purple button twice to enter the opener into Force Adjustment Mode (Figure 2). The LED (Indicator Light) will flash quickly.

3. Push the remote control or door control (Figure 3). The door will travel to the DOWN (close) position. Push the remote control or door control again, the door will travel to the UP (open) position. Push the remote control or door control a third time to send the door to the DOWN (close) position.

The LED (Indicator Light) will stop flashing when the force has been learned.

The opener has learned the forces required to open and close your door.

The door must travel through a complete cycle, UP and DOWN, in order for the force to be set properly. If the opener cannot open and close your door fully, inspect your door to insure that it is balanced properly and is not sticking or binding. See page 3, “Preparing your garage

door.”

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Too much force on garage door will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

• NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking garage door.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) high object (or 2x4 laid flat) on floor.

TEST

• With the door fully open, place a 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board (or a 2x4 laid flat) on the floor, centered under the garage door.

• Operate the door in the down direction. The door must reverse on striking the obstruction.

ADJUST

• If the door stops on the obstruction, it is not traveling far enough in the down direction. Complete Adjustment Steps 1 and 2 Programming the Limits and Forces.

NOTE: On a sectional door, make sure limit adjustments

do not force the door arm beyond a straight up and down position. See Figure 3, page 21.

• Repeat the test.

• When the door reverses on the 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) board (or 2x4 laid flat), remove the obstruction and run the opener through 3 or 4 complete travel cycles to test adjustment.

• If the unit continues to fail the Safety Reverse Test, call for a trained door systems technician.

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing garage door.

• Safety reversal system MUST be tested every month.

• After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Door MUST reverse on contact with 1-1/2" high (3.8 cm) object (or 2x4 laid flat) on the floor.

IMPORTANT SAFETY CHECK:

Test the Safety Reverse System after:

• Each adjustment of door arm length, limits, or force controls.

• Any repair to or adjustment of the garage door (including springs and hardware).

• Any repair to or buckling of the garage floor.

• Any repair to or adjustment of the opener.

ADJUSTMENT STEP 4

Test The Protector System (Safety Sensors)

• Press the remote control push button to open the door.

• Place the opener carton in the path of the door.

• Press the remote control push button to close the door. The door will not move more than 1" (2.5 cm), and the opener lights will flash.

The garage door opener will not close from a remote if the indicator light in either sensor is off (alerting you to the fact that the sensor is misaligned or obstructed).

If the opener closes the door when the safety reversing sensor is obstructed (and the sensors are no more than 6" (15 cm) above the floor), call for a trained door systems technician.

The Remote Control Battery

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:

• NEVER allow small children near batteries.

• If battery is swallowed, immediately notify doctor. To reduce risk of fire, explosion or chemical burn:

• Replace ONLY with 3V2016 or 3V2450 coin batteries.

• DO NOT recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate.

The 3V2016 lithium batteries for the opener and LED lights (marked “LED and Opener Battery”) should last 5 years. The 3V2450 lithium battery for the proximity lighting (marked “Proximity Battery”) should last 1-2 years.

To replace the batteries, remove the two screws and open the remote control housing. Push the battery out of the holder for removal. Insert replacement batteries positive side up. Dispose of old batteries properly.

Replace the batteries with only 3V2016 or 3V2450 coin cell batteries.

CAUTION: Do not bend spring contact. If bent the proximity sensor will not work.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM SOLUTION

Check if proximity lighting is disabled by pressing a button.

Reduced proximity sensing (does not activate by touching top of remote control)

Dim LED lights

No rapid LED blinking after pressing a button

The Proximity Sensor may be oversensitized. Sit remote control undisturbed for 60 seconds on a non-metallic surface. This allows the sensor to recalibrate itself.

Replace 3V2450 battery with same type 3V2450 coin cell.

Replace two 3V2016 batteries with same type 3V2016 coin cells.

Battery Status LED

Standby Power (Optional)

OPERATING INSTR UCTIONS

1. Test the installed battery with the motor unit.

To test the battery, disconnect the motor unit power cord from the electrical outlet.

• A solid orange LED indicates the battery is operating on battery power.

• A flashing orange LED with beep indicates the unit is operating on battery power and that the battery charge is low.

• To test the battery is functioning properly, open and close the garage door.

• Re-connect the motor unit power cord back into the electrical outlet.

• Verify that the green LED is flashing on the SPU (indicates that the battery is now charging).

• Test completed.

2. Charge the battery.

• Battery will take 24 to 48 hours to fully charge.

A fully charged battery supplies 12V DC to the motor unit for one to two days of normal operation during an electrical power outage. If the battery voltage drops too low, the batteries will disconnect and the motor unit will no longer operate under battery power.

After the electrical power has been restored, the battery will recharge within 48 hours. Under normal usage batteries will last 3 to 5 years.

To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons:

• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance.

• Use ONLY LiftMaster part number 485LM for replacement battery.

• Do NOT dispose of battery in fire. Battery may explode. Check with local codes for disposal instructions.

NOTE: LED is most visible with worklight off.

GREEN LED:

All systems are normal.

• A solid LED light indicates the battery is fully charged.

• A flashing LED indicates the battery is being charged.

NOTE: Battery do not have to be fully charged to operate the motor unit.

To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, disconnect the battery when motor unit is unplugged for an extended period of time.

NOTE: Door operation may be limited until battery is fully charged. The motor unit’s lights will not turn on during battery mode.

ORANGE LED:

The motor unit has lost power and is operating off of the battery.

• A solid LED with beep, sounding approximately every 2 seconds, indicates the motor unit is activating the door and is operating off of the battery.

• A flashing LED with beep, sounding every 30 seconds, indicates battery is low.

• Once the power is restored the battery will recharge. This is indicated by a flashing green LED.

RED LED:

• If a red LED remains on when the power is restored, and is accompanied by a beep sounding every 30 seconds, please call for service.

• To obtain maximum battery life and prevent damage, also disconnect the battery if you unplug the motor unit while on vacation or any other extended period of time.

To Open the Door Manually

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

• 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.

The door should be fully closed if possible. Pull down on the emergency release handle and lift the door manually. To reconnect the door to the opener, press the door control push bar.

The lockout feature prevents the trolley from reconnecting automatically. Pull the emergency release handle down and back (toward the opener). The door can then be raised and lowered manually as often as necessary. To disengage the lockout feature, pull the handle straight down. The trolley will reconnect on the next UP or DOWN operation, either manually or by using the door control or remote.
