On finished ceilings (Figure 2), attach a sturdymetalbrackettostructural supportsbefore installing the opener. Thisbracketand fastening hardware are not provided.

Instructionsbelow are for attaching the garage door opener directlyto structural supports.

5.1 Measure the distance from each side of themotor unit to

the structural support.

5.2 Cutboth pieces of the hanging brackettorequired lengths.

5.3 Drill 3/16" pilot holes in the structural supports.

5.4 Attachone end of each bracketto a support with 5/16"-

18x1-7/8" lag screws (not provided).

5.5 Fasten the opener to the hanging bracketswith5/16"-

18x7/8" hex bolts, lockwashers and nuts.

5.6 Checkto make sure the rail is centered over the door (or in

line with the header bracketifthe bracket is not centered above the door).

5.7 Removethe 2x4. Operatethe door manually. Ifthe door

hitsthe rail, raisethe header bracket.

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

• NEVER use emergencyrelease handle unlessgarage doorwayisclear of personsand obstructions.

• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knotbecomesuntied, you could fall.

6.1 Pull on the topcenter of the lightlens and rotate the

light lens down.

6.2 Insertan A19 incandescent (100W maximum) or

compactfluorescent (26W, 100Wequivalent)light bulb into the lightsocket.

NOTE: Do not use halogen, short neck, or specialty light bulbs as these mayoverheat the end panel or lightsocket. Do not use LED bulbs astheymayreduce the range or performance of your remote control(s).

6.3 Rotatethe lens up to close.

7.1 Insertone end of the emergencyrelease rope

through the handle. Make sure that“NOTICE” is right side up. Tie a knotat least 1 inch(2.5 cm) from the end of the emergencyrelease rope.

7.2 Insertthe other end of the emergencyrelease rope

through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency releasewithinreach, but at least6 feet(1.83 m) above the floor, avoiding contactwith vehiclesto prevent accidental release and secure witha knot.

NOTE: Ifit is necessaryto cut the emergency release rope, seal the cutend with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure the emergencyrelease rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid entanglement.

Self-Threading Screw 1/4"-14x5/8"

HARDWARE

A horizontal and vertical reinforcement is needed for lightweight garage doors (ﬁ berglass, aluminum, steel, doors with glass panel, etc.) (not provided).

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.

Metal orlight weight doors usinga verticalangleironbrace between thedoor panelsupport andthe doorbracket:

• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracketusing the two self threading screws. (Figure 2)

• Alternately, use two 5/16" bolts,lockwashers and nuts (not provided).(Figure 3)

Metal,insulated orlight weight factory reinforced doors:

• Drill 3/16" fastening holes. Secure the door bracketusing the self-threading screws. (Figure 4)

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

Introduction

Be sure power is NOTconnectedto the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom closing garage door:

• Correctlyconnectand align the safety reversing sensor. This required safety device MUSTNOT be disabled.

• Install thesafety reversing sensorso beam is NO HIGHER than 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHESAFETYREVERSINGSENSORS Thesafety reversing sensors must beconnected andalignedcorrectlybeforethe garage dooropener willmove inthe down direction.

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

NOTE: For energyefficiency the garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door is fully closed. The sleep mode shuts the garage door opener down until activated. The sleep mode is sequenced with the garage door opener light bulb;as the light bulb turns off the sensor LEDs will turn offand whenever the garage door opener lights turn on the sensor LEDswill light. The garage door opener will not go into the sleep mode until the garage door opener has completed 5 cycles upon power up.

Wheninstalling the safety reversingsensors check the following:

• Sensorsare installed inside the garage, one on either side of thedoor.

• Sensorsare facing each other with the lensesaligned and thereceiving sensor lensdoes notreceivedirect sunlight.

• Sensorsare no more than 6 inches (15 cm) above the floor and the lightbeam is unobstructed.

PRE-WIRED INSTALLATIONS: If your garage

already haswiresinstalled for the safety reversing sensors,seepage 20.

OPTION A

INSTALLATION WITHOUT PRE-WIRING

2.1A Run the wire from both sensorstothe

garage door opener. Attach the wire to the wall and ceiling withthe staples.

2.2A Strip 7/16 inch (11 mm) of insulation

fromeach set of wires. Separate the wires.Twistthe white wires together. Twist the white/blackwires together.

2.3A Insert the white wires intothe white terminal on

the garage door opener. Insert the white/black wires into the grey terminal on the garage door opener. Toinsertor remove thewires from the terminal,push in the tab with a screwdrivertip.

2.4B At the garage door opener, strip 7/16 inch (11 mm)ofinsulation from eachend ofthewires previously chosen for the

safety reversing sensors. Twistthe like-colored wires together.

2.3B Connectthe pre-installed wires to the sensor wires with wire nuts

making sure thecolors correspond foreach sensor. For example, the white wire would connect to the yellowwire and the white/black wire would connecttothe purple wire.

2.5B Insert the wires connected to the white safetysensor wires to the

white terminal on the garage door opener. Insert the wires thatare connected to the white/black safetysensor wiresto the grey terminal on the garage door opener.

1 Connect Power

To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate thegarage door opener at this time.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug witha third grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fit intoyour outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

To prevent possibleSERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:

• Be surepower is NOT connectedtotheopener, anddisconnectpower to circuit BEFORE removing cover toestablish permanent wiring connection.

• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliancewith ALL local electrical and building codes.

• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wireadapter, or changeplugin any way to make it fit outlet.Besure the opener is grounded.

THEREARETWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTINGPOWER:

OPTION A

TYPICAL WIRING

1.1A Plugin the garagedoor opener into a groundedoutlet.

1.2A DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.

OPTION B

If permanent wiring is required by your local code,refer to thefollowing procedure. To makea permanent connection through the7/8inch hole in the top of the motor unit (according to local code):

PERMANENT WIRING

1.1B Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.

1.2B Remove the attached3-prong cord.

1.3B Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; thewhite (neutral) wire to the screw on the

silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must be grounded.

When the light beam isobstructed or misaligned while the door is closing, the door will reverse and the garage door opener lights will flash ten times. Ifthe door is alreadyopen, it will notclose.The sensorscan be aligned by loosening the wing nuts, aligning the sensors,and tightening the wing nuts.
