Introduction

Be sure power isNOTconnected to the garage door opener BEFORE installing the safety reversing sensor.

To preventSERIOUS INJURY or DEATHfrom closing garage door:

•Correctlyconnectand align the safety reversing sensor.Thisrequired safety device MUSTNOTbe disabled.

•Install the safetyreversing sensor so beam isNO HIGHERthan 6" (15 cm) above garage floor.

IMPORTANTINFORMATIONABOUTTHE SAFETY REVERSING SENSORS

The safety reversingsensors must be connectedandalignedcorrectly before the garage dooropenerwillmove inthe downdirection.

The sending sensor (with an amber LED) transmitsan invisible lightbeamto the receiving sensor (with a green LED).Ifan obstruction breaksthe light beamwhile the door isclosing,the door will stop and reverse to the full open position,and the garage door opener lightswill flash 10 times.

NOTE: For energyefficiencythe garage door opener will enter sleep mode when the door isfullyclosed.The sleep mode shutsthe garage door opener down until activated.The sleep mode issequenced with the garage door opener lightbulb;asthe lightbulb turnsoffthe sensor LEDswill turn offand whenever the garage door opener lightsturn on the sensor LEDswill light.The garage door opener will notgo into the sleep mode until the garage door opener hascompleted 5 cyclesupon power up.

Wheninstallingthe safety reversingsensors check the following:

•Sensorsare installed inside the garage,one on either side ofthe door.

•Sensorsare facing each other with the lensesaligned and the receiving sensor lensdoesnotreceive directsunlight.

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

Power

1 Connect Power

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

•Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.

•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.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate the garage door 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 your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FORCONNECTING POWER:

OPTIONA TYPICAL WIRING

1.1A Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet. 1.2A DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.

OPTIONB PERMANENT WIRING

If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure.

To make a permanent connection through the 7/8 inch hole in the top of the motor unit (according to local code):

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

1.2B Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

1.3B 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.

1.4B Reinstall the cover.
